Myrtle Beach is a popular family destination with plenty of recreational activities. There are several Myrtle Beach hotels available to accommodate annual visitors. Although hotels are convenient and close to the excitement, some tourists prefer resorts. If you're planning a trip to the city, consider whether a hotel is really the right choice for your family.

On one hand, Myrtle Beach hotels are located close to the ocean, and hotel guests enjoy a host of amenities. Yet, hotel rooms are extremely small. On the other hand, resorts in the Myrtle Beach area feature one and two bedrooms, separate living room, and much more. It's the perfect choice for couples, families, and groups. What's more, you can save money with resorts.

Myrtle Beach hotels range between $150 and $300 per night, depending on the season. Yet, vacation club members and vacation timeshare owners can book a week's stay at a Myrtle Beach resort and pay between $300 and $500 for the entire week. You'll still enjoy easy beach access. In addition, you'll enjoy double the living space and plenty of bonus amenities.
