Serene beach accommodations with residential amenities

The oceanfront Best Western Ocean Sands Beach Resort follows Myrtle Beach musts: beachfront location, lazy river and fully-furnished efficiencies and suites. Within driving distance to the Tanger Outlets and Alligator Adventure park, this budget hotel is a popular choice for families who are more than happy to save money on dining out expenses thanks to a free continental breakfast and in-room kitchens. During the summer, expect one more treat: movies viewable from the pool.

Highlights
  • Oceanfront studios, suites and deluxe rooms
  • Lazy river, two outdoor pools and children's pool
  • Full kitchens with microwaves
  • "Dive-in" movies from June to August
  • Free Wi-Fi in select rooms and continental breakfast
Rooms

Rooms, available as efficiencies, penthouse suites and deluxe kings, capture traditional tropical style. Pine wood furniture complements brass lamps, while glass doors open to the true showpiece: a balcony facing the Atlantic Ocean. Full kitchens -- complete with microwave oven -- enable guests to eat in the privacy of their own space. Visitors also can log on to Wi-Fi for free in select rooms.

Features

Come summer, guests flock to the outdoor pool three nights a week for "Dive-in" movie nights. A rotating roster of animated favorites, from "Finding Nemo" to "The Little Mermaid," begins at dusk -- weather permitting. The best part: the movies are free.

Where we needed to be

The hotel was located where we needed to be, as we were there for business. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The tv was old and needs replaced as it picture was bad at times.

Relaxing Family Vacation

The hotel was very comfortable and family friendly. The timeliness of housekeeping services could have been better. The location is too far away from major restaurants. No public transportation and taxis too expensive.

Anniversary Trip

This was a surprise anniversary trip for my wife. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was quiet, right on the beach, and convenient to attractions, food, and shopping.

Great for young and old.

Very accomodating staff. Willing to help with meeting my needs. The hotel was clean and the location was great. Attractions were nearby but not so close that I had to deal with the crowds. I am looking forward to my next trip and staying at the Best Western.

Perfect family destination!

We make it our priority every year to visit th Ocean Sands. The people that work there are so friendly and kind. It has the best ocean front views and is in the middle of North Myrtle Beach. It feels like home, Our kids can't wait to go again!

Great for the price

Staff was friendly and very nice. Parking was tight but managed to find a space. Room size was fine for me. Had a small kitchen if I needed to cook. Bed was a little soft but that is my opinion. Older hotel but right on the beach was a plus. Would stay there again!

Great Ocean View

We were supposed to go to Hatteras Island, but Hurricane Irene cancelled that. Decided to go to Myrtle Beach for the week. Couldn't have asked for a better replacement. Getting up in the morning, opening the slider, seeing the ocean and hearing the waves...couldn't have asked for anything more. Room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was good. Beach was fantastic. Will stay here on any future trips to Myrtle Beach.

There are so many good restaurants within a very short drive of the hotel...Joes Crab Shack, Sticky Fingers, Prestons....and Overtime Sports Bar for good food, drink and fun.

Dingy annex building

Online we saw pictures of 2 gorgeous buildings, however when we checked in there was an annex building that we were put in. It's 4 buildings away from the main building and it's dingy, dirty and ugly. Not at all what was pictured online. The room was decent with a king bed. The bathroom was so small you couldnt fit 2 people if one was trying to get ready. The sink was about 8" round and you had to close the door to stand at the sink. If you are bigger than a female size 10 you will not fit through the door opening as the door to the bathroom is so very narrow and small. We will not use the best western in Myrtle beach ever again. The tv was a 26" tube style which got 3 channels. all channels were so blurry and you couldn't tell on the baseball games what the innings or score was.
