The Breakers Review

This is a longtime family favorite whose growth over the past decades has paralleled that of Myrtle Beach itself. It consists of seven beachfront towers, six of them adjacent to each other, the seventh (the North Tower) within 6 blocks of the others. Boasting one of the best beachfront locations in Myrtle Beach, the complex is unified with a series of swimming pools whose interconnected waters include a scaled-down model of a pirate schooner, the surfaces of which double as suntanning space. You can book here on any number of plans, within a wide configuration of accommodations, from tastefully furnished guest rooms to efficiencies with kitchenettes, and even one- to three-bedroom suites. Extra beds in the form of foldout sofas, Murphy beds, and twin sets of doubles make for flexible family units. Within this sprawling resort, a relatively stylish corner is the North Tower (ca. 1990), a soaring yellow-and-white boutique hotel with its own registration desk and some 140 condos, which join the rental pool of the Breakers whenever their individual owners are not on-site.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; 2 bars; 14 swimming pools; fitness center; Jacuzzi; sauna; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; 1 room 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.
