Looking to partake in the Grand Strand playlist of beach time, tee time, buffet time and showtime? That refrain is always better when you retire to plush accommodations before repeating the cycle. Not all coastline-hugging hotels in Myrtle Beach are created equal, and this well-situated AAA Four Diamond mainstay raises the bar over the sea of area accommodations. The family-friendly resort features distinct dining options as well as indoor and beachfront pools. Don’t miss Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes’ on-site Hibiscus Spa, an oasis of calm and rejuvenation where harried parents can have their vacation stresses kneaded away.

AAA Inspector Notes: “Stylish rooms include your choice of a king or two queen beds with upscale bedding and a spacious desk. Many rooms have a Juliet balcony, some rooms have a full walk-out balcony. This high-rise hotel features full resort amenities, including a sprawling pool complex and access to adjacent golf and tennis facilities.”
