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

beach vacation review 2010

This was a nice place to stay and was clean would have preferred something closer to the heart of town without having to pay to park to do everything. Also the bathroom was rather small for a resort and blowdryer was terrible. However after 2 days we called and they were quick to install one that worked better. Was not able to enjoy last night due to the package and the early flight out. Also we were quoted a package and did not realize we would be charged an additional resort fee on check in. With all that being said it was a clean place and fairly quiet with a good view of the ocean.

Enjoyed dining at the Seacaptain's House on the ocean, it was fabulous very good seafood and a spectacular view of the ocean. They also had a parking lot for the customers. One of the few places right in Myrtle beach where we did not have to pay to park.

Room was very disappointing

This hotel's website made it look fantastic. I have to say the pool area I was very satisfied with along with the lazy river. The location of the hotel was also great. View from the balcony was fantastic. My main problem with this hotel was the room itself. I wouldn't mind paying $178 per night (which I did)if the room was updated and in good shape. The wallpaper was coming off the wall at the seams in places and the appliances had to be 25 years old as well as the carpet. Also for this price a complimentary breakfast should be included but is not. Will look for something better next time.

Crown Reef Review

OK hotel for the price. Currently renovating, but I was not in one of those rooms. The staff was very friendly. Great location. One of the best restaurants in town is right next door, Damon's.

we enjoyed the beach, pools, lazy river, hot tubs. a resturaunt on site (besides the one for breakfast only) would have been nice. the service was great until the last day i think they forget to clean our room so i called and they just made bed, and put towels in, nothing else. but overall service was good.

alright hotel

It was a nice room and had a nice view of the beach. I didn't like how the hotel associates had their drama right Outside my room. It felt to me very unprofessional. Some of their associates weren't very friendly either. For the money I spent on that room, they could have smiled or something. Also, there was still beach sand on the beds when we first arrived. Other than that, experience was great.

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.

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.
