A pleasant surprise

Even though we picked a bad weekend to go to Myrtle Beach, weatherwise., I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the hotel we selected. Sometimes, when you are selecting a resort, sight unseen, and just going by the pictures, you might be deceived, and disappointed. Not in this case. The rooms were an ample size, with a full size refrigerator, microwave, and they even supplied dishware. We had an oceanview, and were literally steps from the beach. It was great. I will definitely stay there again.

Shopping tip: Short drive from hotel

There's a flea market, that's a very short drive from the hotel. Excellent place to pick up souveneirs, jewelry and other merchandise. But be careful, we spent a lot of time shopping there, they had good deals.

disappointed!

The reviews and pictures for this hotel looked great. Especially when I noticed there were 7 pools. The rooms were extremely small and the comforters were dirty. The hotel rooms are in serious need of remodeling. The hotel is extremely old! Save your money. There are better hotels that are less expensive or comparable such as Landmark or Palace.

Bad management!!

I booked an ocean front room, so that i can see ocean from the room. when i get there they gave all the way to the corner,close to parking garage, the only thing i see was the parking and building ,i ask them to change the room and They told me that they can't do anything about it, because i didn't book through them , which doesn't make sense to me.After that i called Orb..and they put me on hold almost for an hour,At the end i gave up.

For off season this hotel was great for the money!

Staff was great, room was perfect, and location was right on the beach and ten to fifteen minutes from everything.

Compass Cove

The Hotel was nice and pretty clean. Our room the first day was bad because we paid for the oceanfront room and we were put on the first floor by the pool which was a bad excuse for oceanfront. Once the room was changed everything was fine.

Compass Cove Resort Hotel

The Hotel has a lot of pools to choose from....the kids have a great time in the pools. The beach view is awesome. Two nights was not enough time to really enjoy Myrtle Beach, I would definitely want to stay longer. I enjoyed Karaoke at the bar and grill on Saturday night and during the week they do have activities you can sign the kids up for. I would definitely stay here again. Now, for the negatives.....Wireless internet did not work at all in our building, the pool towels were always out, ran out of guest parking spaces so had to park in the hotels 15 min check in space for one night, not enough handicap parking, no elevators in the parking garage and the service at the hotels breakfast restaurant was very poor and quite frankly not worth the hassle or price. With that being said......It is a nice place to vacation with kids. The kids loved all of the pools. We stayed in an ocean front efficiency room with 2 beds on the top floor (16) and it had great views.

Money-saving tip: In Hotel

Bring some of your own drinks, snacks, foods to have on hand as buying these things at the hotel snack bar areas does get costly. Our room had a complete little kitchen so we were able to stock the fridge with drinks, fruit, etc.

Very Relaxing Vacation

The Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort is a great place to vacation. They have several pools to choose from, an exercise room, and saunas. I went with my husband, cousin, and one of his friends. The room was the perfect size for four. There is a tiki bar located outside by the pools. The rooms were clean and room service was very helpful. One night our smoke alarm's batteries died, I called the front desk, and maintance was there within 2 minutes. They have two outdoor grills that you can rent for no charge. It's a great alternative to eating out. The only thing I didn't like was that in the buiding we stayed in, they didn't have a hot tub. We had to walk to the next hotel building. And only one room had a tv in it. Other than that, everything was great. Check in and check out only took minutes.

Burkey's is my fave. Great prices, fresh food and the staff is friendly. Broadway at the Beach has several places to choose from. Set inside at Margaritaville and go during the evening, it's a huge party! Avoid shopping at the Piggly Wiggly on King, it's dirty, expensive, and doesn't have many things to choose from.
