Myrtle Beach Resort Amenities

Despite the fact that visitors to Myrtle Beach all seem to agree that the miles of beautiful beaches and gentle rolling surf are still the biggest draw…many vacationers are looking for even more. Early on, beachfront vacation properties added swimming pools to help attract visitors. Later on, many pools became covered and heated for year round use. Next came whirlpools and today lazy rivers have become the latest "must have" amenity along the Grand Strand.

Phil Cox, whose company rents vacation condos at The Myrtle Beach Resort, comments, “our visitors are looking for a great deal more than a beach, an ocean and a place to sleep. That’s why the Myrtle Beach Resort has spent more than a half million dollars to add a water park complex (New for Spring 2005) including a 375 foot lazy river, baby pools, whirlpools and plunge pools to compliment a host of amenities already available." Cox continues, “ you may be able to rent a room or condo for a few dollars less without all these features, but then you’ll find yourself spending extra dollars at off-site water parks.”

Editors Note: In addition to the new water park, the Myrtle Beach Resort has five outdoor pools, two indoor pools, four lighted tennis courts, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, and exercise facilities available to their guests without charge.
