Kingston Plantation Review

This is the most desirable and one of the best-landscaped hotel and condominium complexes in Myrtle Beach. Set on 145 rolling acres of intensely manicured gardens, it combines a conventional hotel -- the 20-story Embassy Suites -- with a labyrinthine collection of individually owned one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas and condos. Be sure to specify your tastes in condo living, either when you reserve or at the time of check-in -- some units are in soaring high-rises, others are low-slung town house-style accommodations. A few are free-standing, woodsy-looking buildings in their own right. Registration for every guest room within Kingston Plantation, regardless of its design and venue, is within the lobby of the above-mentioned Embassy Suites Hotel, which was extensively renovated during 2007 and 2008. Each of the conventional hotel rooms contains a kitchen, dining area, living room, and at least one bedroom, and is outfitted with a private balcony and a tasteful blend of light-grained woods and pale sand-and-sea colors. Residents of Embassy Suites benefit from slightly more intensive service rituals than those in the outlying condos and villas.

For such an enormous resort development, it's surprising to find only two restaurants, Fish Eye Grill (open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and the dinner-only Omaha Steakhouse, on the premises. Both are set on the ground floor of the high-rise Embassy Suites.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; 11 outdoor pools; 9 tennis courts; fitness center; Jacuzzi; sauna; room service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
