The Breakers

Frommer's 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.
