Oceanfront in Myrtle Beach with more than 20 pools, tubs and fountains

Relax with a private balcony and views onto the Atlantic Ocean at Crown Reef Hotel in Myrtle Beach. Set on the sand, guests enjoy the ultimate oceanfront playground -- as well as the hotel itself, where more than 20 swimming pools, hot tubs and fountains dot the landscape. Meander down a 575-foot-long "lazy river," unwind with a cocktail at the Pool Bar and Grill, work out in the fitness center, experience dining at several restaurants and cafes on-site, or chill out in the video arcade. 

Highlights

                                                                                   

  • Perfect sunrises and panoramic ocean views from Crown Reef guest rooms, all facing the Atlantic
  • Countless on-site pools, including a 575-foot-long "lazy river"
  • Several on-site dining and cocktail destinations, or rooms with kitchen facilities for home cooking

Off Season Review

Basically, all I had was a room with a beautiful view. The whole place needs some TLC. The pools, hot tubs, bar, and cafe were all closed down...but for the price, being off season, it's a cheap stay with a beautiful view of the Atlantic.

worst trip ever

This was my worst trip ever booking with ya`ll. My oceanfront room consisted of palm trees with a very little break in them to see the ocean and a gazebo with everyone looking into our room and constant talking and yelling from other guest , not much privacy. After numerous calls to office about WiFi in didn `t work or it worked for a few minutes and then lost its connection , could not not get work done for my job.The water pipes sounded like a jack hammer in the bathroom every morning and was woke up before 6 am from this, the hot water was not regulated int he shower it went from cold to very hot to cold.I was very dissappointed , I spent alot of money for this trip and very very disappointed. Me and my husband both have booked several times with this company , hate to say it my be my last.

Relaxation At Its Best

This hotel has all the amenities to make your trip complete. However, "resort" generally implies more of a full service setting than available at this hotel. The location is about as far south on the beach as you can get, so be aware of the surrounding before booking.

You get what you pay for!

When we first arrived and were given a room, it was absolutely terrible! The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, there was a lot of water damage on the cabinetry, the floors were black (the tile was light gray but covered with mildew), the bedding was stained, they provided twin size blankets for queen sized beds, and the heat/AC unit was disgusting. When we called and asked for another room, seeing as they were practically empty with it being off season you would have thought they would have put us in a "newly renovated room" to begin with. They finally transferred us to a better room. We went down to view one of their many "indoor" pools only to have a raccoon run out at us, because all of the glass for the indoor/outdoor dividers was missing. The pools themselves were filthy, some even had mold floating in them. The tile was chipped and there was rust in nearly all of them. The staff was very nice and efficient once we told them about the problems. Otherwise, stay away! It was a deal too good to be true!

Getaway from our nor'easter at home

We were warmly welcomed to this fantastically located, right on the water, hotel by a wonderful gentleman. On two mornings (early rising at 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.) we had no hot water. The rooms appeared to need a 'thorough' cleaning, the rooms were showing their age. The ammenities for the price were great. Lighting at the elevators in the wee hours was non-existant. We called at 4:00 a.m. to check out and there was no answer. Overall, we would return-it is a great location in a great city.
