Compass Cove Resort
2311 S Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
This hotel on the south side of Myrtle Beach is deceptively impressive. The small covered pool area is actually a water wonderland. The covered roof is retractable, so you get sun or protection from the rainy one. Two waterslides let out in the indoor area, which also features hot tubs, a lazy river and a kids’ waterpark with a yellow submarine. But the best is on the oceanside – two big pools, hot tubs and waterslide and the best shuffleboard courts in town.
Breakers Resort
Ocean front at 21st and 27th Ave N, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578
This multi-building complex encompasses a hidden jewel of water-related fun. A pirate theme is pervasive, with a giant pirate ship serving as the centerpiece of a children’s water playground and statues of pirates spread throughout the facility. Families will also enjoy The Cove at Breakers, which is a new oceanfront indoor waterpark that offers 5 new slides! In addition, vacationers can take advantage of eight outdoor pools, four outdoor hot tubs, and 418-ft indoor/outdoor lazy river, indoor pools, and more.

The Caravelle Resort
6900 N Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572
This multi-building complex features all the usual amenties – outdoor pool, lazy river, kids’ waterpark – but it’s the unusual that ranks it so high. The seventh floor features an outdoor sun deck that allows you to tan even closer to the sun without the beach crowds and a glass-encased pool that literally lets you swim in the sky. Also, although not technically part of the property, St. Clement’s Beach Bar is a great place to hang out and play beach volleyball with locals.
Island Vista

This resort features the best indoor/outdoor combination for those who like to have their fun in the sun and have it made in the shade.

The tiki bar and live entertainment throughout the summer months are also an added bonus.

Perfect for the family that wants to park its car at check-in and not move it again until check-out. The two huge towers have indoor waterparks on both ground floors. The north tower includes two giant waterslides – one twisting trip down the two-story drop and another freefall with a fast splashdown. The south tower has smaller slides, a water playground and a big lazy river. The outdoor facilities are just as nice. With all the fun under two roofs, there’s no reason to leave.
North Beach Plantation
100 North Beach Blvd, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582
North Beach Plantation is all about luxury, and the pool scape offers a break from the ordinary.
