I booked a unit through Expedia via a third party company for a 4 day/3 night getaway for adult women. I made an error and booked the rental without recognizing we would not have access to any of the amenities except the pools and hot tubs (hotel does not offer option to buy resort band either). My advice is to NOT book any stay without access to amenities. Since we rented with a third party, we received a 5 page long rental agreement filled with rules and restrictions, I honestly never felt so nickeled and dimed.
The resort and local area is pretty worn down, the unit shows its age as well (carpet smelled of mildew, bath sink and tub drained slowly, one kitchen cabinet fell off, missing toilet paper holder, etc.). All in all, nothing really stood out except easy access to beach (chair and umbrella rentals available). It is definitely a family resort for kids of all ages. At one point 3 kids came into the hot tub and started diving with their googles. We love kids and are all moms, but it did become a bit much, so we exited the hot tub.
In terms of getting area, be mindful Uber, Lyft, and taxis can be a challenge. Also the weather is hot or miss during the summer since it's hurricane season. It rained everyday during our stay.
On the plus side of Myrtle Beach, not the resort specifically, Boardwalk on the Beach is really cool - great restaurants and fun night scene. I also heard the North Side provides better hotels and an overall nicer area.
