The greater Myrtle
Beach area has many and varied lodging opportunities. From small
and inexpensive traditional motels, to large hotel towers, there
are choices that fit everyone's needs.
Go Ocean Front all the way (Travel Tip)
Even tho ocean front rooms and suites are somewhat more expensive, we think
it is always worth taking ocean front accomodations. After all, you are going
to the beach to enjoy the beach. Budget the extra cost into your vacation
plans and do it right. Why travel for hours for your long anticipated getaway,
and then have to peer between buildings or around corners to see the sea?
Trust me, its much better to relax out on your balcony with your sweetie
and your favorite beverage, watching the waves roll in and hearing that unique
'ocean sound'. When you take this advice you'll thank me for giving it.
Recommendation (Travel Tip)
One of our favorites is the Patricia Grand,
near downtown Myrtle Beach and, of course, right on the beach. We've
always found the staff polite and helpful, the rooms immaculate
and with good ocean views, and the facilities of a very high quality.
Discounts at non-traditional resorts (Budget Tip)
You can also rent blocks of days or entire weeks from various
time share resorts. Sometimes these can be a real bargain, as they
are trying to rent weeks of owners who are not using that week.
They will give good deals at the last minute to get some income
for the owner.
High Season Pricing (Travel Tip)
For the summer season, of course expect higher per night prices, and be sure
to make your reservations early. June, July, and August
dates fill up fast at the best hotels.
Membership Discounts (Budget Tip)
Most resorts provides discounts for membership in such organizations as AAA
and AARP. Make sure to mention such memberships both when
you make your reservation, and when you check in at the registration desk. |
