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
  • Countless on-site pools, including a 575-foot-long "lazy river"
  • Several on-site dining and cocktail destinations, or rooms with kitchen facilities for home cooking

Just OK

The indoor pool was the best thing about the hotel, especially for the time of the year we went. The outside pool area looked nice as well. However, the room left a lot to be desired. There were about 5 burn holes in the comforter on the bed. The room was just outdated and we did not like there were three separate towers you could not connect to without going outside and going into another tower and not through the hotel. This place was probably really nice in the late 80's early 90's.

Majorly Disappointing

Our room had mildew and rust on the walls. Dead bugs found under the TV... Bed left me with an aching back. The hot tub was the same temperature as the indoor pool and the jets only worked half of the time. We came during Spring break, and the outdoor pools were disgusting. We were told there was only 1 room left, but when we got here there were almost no guests. The only good things were the quietness of the hotel, the location/balcony overlooking the beach. Everything else left me unhappy and disappointed. :(

Crown Reef Resort - Myrtle Beach - March Break 2013

We have a Queen Efficiency. Two queen beds, full kitchen, full bathroom and a table with chairs. Ocean Front view with two plastic chairs. Room was extremely clean, so was kitchen and bathroom. Housekeeping came daily to clean the bathroom and make the beds. Always inquired if we needed anything else done. Kitchen has pots, pans, dishes, cutlery and the hotel provided dish cloths, wash up cloths and dish washing soap. All items provided were clean. Kitchen had a 4 burner stove, full fridge and oven, a microwave, coffee maker and a toaster. Only thing we needed was a kettle. Pools were all open, but it was a might cold to swim in the outdoors, so we used the indoor pool and hot tubs. They were clean and well maintained. The cabinets, fridge and stove were outdated and the fridge enamel on the outside was starting to peel off and get rusted. Other than that, everyone was very helpful and the convenience of having all these items available and an ocean view is great for a family as it does help keep the cost down.

Great Birthday Weekend

We had a fantastic time! Tenth floor view was awesome! Really enjoyed the oceanfront. Parking was nice. It was really convient to have the elevator right in the parking deck. The hotel staff were very helpful. Gave us coupons and tips on events happening that weekend. Had my first ever wine tasting!! Entire weekend and trip completely great!! Only thing I didnt like was the fees at the hotel that the travel company quoted me was incorrect and they might want to put a note in when getting a rental car with package, they put a hold on monies in my bank account. Other than that, AWESOME!!

My Opinion

My experience was very good, although I was expecting a little nicer room then what it was. The room was very out dated and was not worth the price that we paid.

Crown Reef Hotel

The room looked as if it were a hundred years old. Nothing in the entire hotel seamed to work at all. The beds were made of stone and very very uncomfortable. The whole hotel was falling apart , it needs to be renovated. The pools were really dirty and the hot tub did not work.

Last minute trip

The experience was great. The rooms were clean. The only thing is that you have to go across the street from the resort to check in. Overall, it was a good trip and would stay there again.
