I have just been reading comments in your travelogue looking for help in finding a place on the coast that will accept pets. We like to vacation at the beach with our Shelties, but it's hard to find places that accept them. Have you had any success gathering this type of info.? We have rented houses on the Outer Banks where pets are welcome, but we would like to come to the SC coast because it is closer to where we live. Thx, Alice

I've been visting Myrtle Beach for years. It is so convenient for us. Our family has had great sucess with Landmark Resorts (Sept. 1997). The room was large, clean, and well organized. The pool areas were great. We also enjoyed Captains Quarters (1995-1996) although some areas were run-down. Forest Dunes has huge and very clean suites. The pool area is on the small side, and to get to the beach, you have to cross a street. I found the staff there to be somewhat unfriendly. I was quoted one rate and charged another (April 1995). Ocean Park left alot to be desired (Nov. 1996). The room was filthy & rundown. The amenities were in bad shape. The staff was not helpful. Last trip, we stayed ath the Waterside Inn, because the party we traveled with wanted to bring their dog. Compared to the other places, this was run-down, dirty. We had one light bulb burned out when we got there. Another one burned out as we were there, and we had to transfer light bulbs out of the bedside lights in order to have light in the bathroom. I definitely won't stay there again, although the party we went with plans to stay there.

My family and I go to Myrtle Beach every summer. We own a timeshare at the Yatschman. This is on the oceanfront and provides a great view. It is located right on Pier 14. We often go there for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Also it plays bands at night and we have an excellent time. The Yatschman is a very comfortable place to stay. It is very family oriented. They provide a list of activities for the kids and the adults all week. Including two days of Kid's night out. Where the kid's are under the supervision of the staff and the parent's can have a relaxing evening by themselves. I reccommend the Yatschman to anyone traveling to Myrtle Beach. It also has a hotel part to it also. My experience at the Yatschman has always been an excellent and very memorable one. I wouldn't stay anywhere else on the Beach. Thank you.

I stayed at the LONGBAY RESORT in Sept. of '97 and loved it! The rooms are beautiful and spacious. Rates are reasonable for a 5 star hotel. Do NOT stay at the BEACH COLONY RESORT. It's not nearly as nice... and just as expensive (The deals at Longbay are better). I spent the weekend there last month (Oct.'98) and will not go there again. BTW, does anyone know of the SANDCASTLE in N. Myrtle Beach? I saw it from the outside; it's across the street from the ocean... near Forest Dunes. Jackie bunny-jo@webtv.net

I would like to know of a hotel that is walking distance away since we will need to go back and forth at least five different times in four days. The hotel needs to be "teenager" friendly as my group will include 60 teenagers. Being walking distance from the beach is also important. What hotel fits both criteria?

I would like to find out events (art receptions at galleries and museums) next weekend when I will be attending the above conference for my state. I am also interested in scuba diving/snorkeling and/or sailing. I have never been to Myrtle Beach and am looking forward to a short visit. On Sunday and Monday, I will have free time all day and evening to scout around this area. If you could email me concerning information about your area and interesting things to do, (I'd love to visit studios of other artists - I am a painter and teacher) this would be most welcome. Also, any "loop" driving excursions and interesting historic places would be very helpful. I attended a Montana conference similar to this one and people were most helpful on the Internet. Are there any national parks or state parks in this area? I will be contacting my local sources but I thought this would be a great way to find out something I might ordinarily miss.

We went to Myrtle Beach Sept 18, 1998 and stayed at the Sand Dunes. The people there were rude, and when our luggage got lost on the airlines and were delivered to the hotel later that night, the STAFF did not even tell us our luggage was there. We asked for a non smoking room and got stuck with a room that a bunch of cigar-smoking conventioneers must have just stayed in. I wrote a Myrtle Beach website about our trip I hope people will check out. Had a BLAST there.....we are from California and it was just a different experience for us.

Just wanted to recount my experience at the FIREBIRD MOTOR INN during this past Memorial Day weekend. If you're a family that's looking for an affordable, clean room in a nice family motel, the Firebird is excellent. The staff was always extremely helpful. We got to use their two pools and lazy river on oceanfront, as well as the pools at the Reef, their sister hotel next door. They've even got a sign that they change every day with the name of a family, and how long they've stayed at the Firebird. They had families that had stayed there for 15 years or more! Their number is 1-800-852-7032.

We have stayed at the Landmark Resort 3 times now and it is really nice. Our grandkids love all the water sports there and they have one "new section" and have remodled the older section. The only problem we are having now is trying to find a time for everyone to vacation together since due to the biker weekends we are never again coming in May. There are two bikers weekends, the Harleys and the Japanese Bike weekends. So we won't be back in May.

A friend and I stayed at Court Capri hotel September 18- 20, 1998. We were very disappointed. We asked for a oceanview room and they claim we had one. We were on the 8th floor and our balcony looked out at Ocean Drive. To see the ocean you had to go out on the balcony, lean over the railing, and look between the Court Capri hotel and the one next to it. I do not consider that oceanview.

My fiance and I are planning to go to Myrtle Beach on our honeymoon. We are getting married on June 12, 1999, and are looking for a nice place, oceanfront, with affordable rates. The Captain's Quarters looks like a nice place to stay, but I'm sure that it will cost a pretty penny. We would be glad to get any information on where to stay, what the service is like, and rate information. So please, e-mail me at: blantsr@wku.edu Thanks!

Hey...Traveled to Myrtle Beach with 3 other girlfriends- August 5-8, 1998- Stayed at Cadillac Court - Boulevard Side -- wrong move! When we walked in the room, the smell was about to knock us over and the couch was disgusting. We were afraid to sit on it, so we put down a blanket. Moreover, it was supposed to be a two room suite -- it looked as though someone just put up a partition and placed a bed and dresser in there! We dealt with it, but next time we want to stay somewhere worth our money! Any suggestions? I looked at the previous comments on the travelogues, but I need help!!! Thanks!

Breakfast was hot. Pools where clear, lots of chairs to lay on. Elevator kept breaking down was a pain Front desk help was nice. No bar lounge. Not a lot of frills but I would stay there again.

Been to M.B. 7x in the last 4 years both with my non golfer wife and with 3 other friends. We have gone either in April or November. We are planing our 3rd annual golf trip for this Nov. What has been clearly the case that the fairways and greens have been in excellent shape in April but have been in less than top shape by Nov. We generally stay at Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort and play their courses which are very nice. Played Caledonia 2 years ago Nov and it was in excellent shape but we hit it on a freezing windy day and really couldn't appreciate it. Played Tradition when it was first opened and the grass hadn't grown in. Will probably play it this trip. I have played Tidewater several times, nice course, good shape this past April but really don't know why its rated #1. I enjoyed playing it but $100.?? Played Blackmoor, liked it, a little easier than some. My higher handicap friends liked Seagull. Wasn't in the best of shape last Nov. We are thinking of pickin! g up Heritage or Pawleys Plantat ion this trip. Does any body have some very current experiences. What courses are in good shape now (Fall 1998). By the way if your at M.B. don't miss the Legends in Concert show. September 1998

My wife and I have been to myrtle beach 3 times since being married. Our first reservation was at Caroline's Bed and Breakfast, which I am glad to say no longer exists. We have enjoyed staying at Beach Colony Resort. The staff is very pleasant and the rooms are clean and unique in design just like Beach Cove Resort. We plan to bring our parents to the beach in October and will be making a reservation at Beach Colony. We recommend that everyone stay there at least once. You will love it! Wendell Highsmith, Jr.

Last year my friends and I stayed at the Blue Water Resort. The room we had was unacceptable, since the carpet was frayed and the metal combs that held it in place were not nailed down. As a result I stepped on one of the metal combs, and I complained to management. The person at the desk was very uncaring and offered no assistance. When I returned home, I sent a formal complaint, requesting a refund, however, to this date I have not heard back from Blue Water Resort. I returned at Christmas time and stayed at the Landmark, and the room/service was impeccable. Since the Landmark was booked the period I needed to stay, I will be staying at Jonathan Harbour for vacation this year.

My husband, son and I were in Myrtle Beach from 6/19 to 6/28/98.We stayed at the Patricia Grand this year and were very pleased with our room. We stayed on the north end of the building and couldn't have asked for a nicer view of the ocean.We could also watch what was going on down on the street. The room was type G with separate bedroom and living room and the dining table was set in a floor to ceiling glass alcove with street view. The rooms were clean and the maid service was good.I thought the lazy river was small but my 6 yr. old enjoyed it.It was indoors so it gave him a chance to get out of the hot sun(we were there in the middle of a heat wave!!) Other years we have stayed at the Landmark; don't really have any complaints.It was very nice.Our room was located on the 4th floor directly off the elevator and the walkway to the parking garage so it was a little noisy at night . They have a nice size lazy river and the restaurant ( The Gazebo) was exellent. We have also stayed at Coral Beach. Your first impressions are "Wow is this place nice or what?" Don't be fooled by outward appearances. Our room was overpriced and the furniture was beat up. The air conditioner in the bedroom was leaking and the carpet on one side of the bed was soaked. In all fairness the place does have alot to offer they just need to keep the rooms up better. We decided to stay north of the pavillion this year so we chose the Patricia Grand and will be returning there again next year. It is a bit less hectic at that end of town and much easier to cross the street. A must is the Pier 14 restaurant. It is located in front of the Yachtsman resort .Nightly entertainment while dining and the food is out of this world. Not to mention the view! On Tues. night Broadway at the Beach has the best fireworks display I've ever seen. Capt. Hooks mini-golf is great. Race fans have to go to The Nascar Cafe' the food is good ,the service friendly and the atmosphere is exciting. If you are into water parks go to Wild Waters NOT Myrtle Waves. M.W. is $18.95 all day and you have to pay $1.50 extra if you want a tube for the wave pool. The lazy river is exactly that . It doesn't move you along at all. That$18.95 is per/ person. Wild Waters is $16.95 per/person or $9.95 after 3:00pm. and you dont have to pay extra for a tube. The lazy river moves you along nicely plus there are obstacles along the way such as a wave channel and waterfalls that you can avoid or go through depending on how you feel about having water dumped on you. Also they have an excellent kiddie area . They also have go- carts .We love Myrtle Beach .There is something for everyone. One more thing ; Ripley's Aquarium is awesome and very relaxing and a great place to go to get out of the heat ( it was103 degrees outside the day we were there.) TRICIAMC56@ aol.com

Just returned from Myrtle Beach 8/28/98. Some tips: 1. Bring your own beach chairs and umbrellas. We stayed at the Caravelle and, unlike the siutation at other beach vacation spots, the hotel does not supply them for the guests. The price we were quoted was $20 per day for two chairs and an umbrella. The lifeguards run the rental business. We picked up two chairs for $13 and an umbrella for $40 from one of the nearby souvenier / beach supply stores. 2. If you are evacuted due to a hurricane (we were from Bonnie) be prepared to sit for three hours just to get off the island. The National Guard / Police direct traffic, at least in our experience, at intersections just off the island. 3. Go see the Aquarium. The people mover "ride" through the main tank is breathtaking. The only criticism is that there is not enough explanation of what you are seeing, at least for my taste. In that sense, the Baltimore aquarium does a better job.

One of your reader's asked for info on Water's Edge resort. I stayed there in 1993. It was nice & clean but when they say Water's Edge they mean it. When high tide comes in, the beach is gone. The water is right at the end of the steps leading to the beach. Also, it is in South MB and I prefer North MB for the shops & stores. So be prepared to drive a ways if you like to shop.

08/27/98 - Linda We returned From Myrtle Beach Sunday 8/23/98 just before Bonnie hit. We had the pleasure to stay for almost a week at the new SandCastle South at 2207 S. Ocean Blvd. in N. Myrtle. We were a party of 10(6 adults and 4 children 12,8,8 and 5) and shared two efficiency suites. The amenities were clean and numerous. The hotel was packed but it didn't feel overwhelming crowded. The staff was couteous, friendly and helpful. If you needed something, and asked for it, they usually came through (extra towels, pillows, directions, etc.) The surroundings were also well kept and chairs and lounges were plentiful. The kitchenettes were furnished for actual in room cooking if that was desired. I felt the children were safe and respected. We adults had as much fun as the kids in the lazy river and hot tubs. Rooms were cleaned at our convenience. Parking was excellent and plentiful. The pier was within walking distance. The prices were comparable. We highly recommend the SandCas! tle and will be back next year.

We stayed at the Swamp Fox (Swampfox.com)the first week of August. It was great! The room was clean, the staff accomodating, the facilities above average. The pools were too cold for our Floridian blood, however. We only ate breakfast at the on-site restaurant, but it was very good. Restaurants: We wanted a special place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and scoured all the reviews and books. We finally selected **The Library**. It was exquisite - intimate, not too formal, and quiet. The food was outstanding the service perfect. Richard, our waiter, made it a memorable occasion for us. DON'T BOTHER WITH THE FARM HOUSE! Over an hour wait, most of the food came out of a can. Crabby Mike's Calabash - it was O.K., but overpriced, I think. If you like fried food, good selection. Unlimited crab legs, delicious she-crab soup. Spring House - good, simple food at very reasonable prices. A great place for families with kids.

Even the manager of the hotel said "sorry but we don't have enought staff to clean". After seven days we were given some sheets - no one ever came to clean and we were offered one night at half rate for our inconvenience! Never again will we stay there!

Nice room, plenty of water attractions (numerous indoor and outdoor pools and lazy rivers), but the place is HUGE. Always had to wait at least five minutes for the elevators (we were on the 14th floor). A car is a must. No matter where you want to go... it's a drive from whereever you are. If you're renting a car by the mile you'll get killed. Plenty of food places. Our favorites were NASCAR and HOOTERS. The food was large portions and great quality. Also the atmosphere was fantastic. Judge carefully the seafood buffets. Thereare tons. We tried STEERS and was greatly disapionted. =20 Golf courses played were Racoon Run (run down, fairways and greens were beat up, muni courses in NJ are in better shape but it's the best priced deal in town) Gator HJole ( beautiful course GREEN GRASS everywhere, very scenic but the staff was not friendly) ?Possom Trot ( nice course, varying holes, great shape, friendly staff)=20

Hit the Hard Rock (wasn't impressed), Nascar Cafe (good food, fast service), Planet Hollywood, All Star Cafe (had the best food of all of them), Olive Garden, and Bennetts Calabash Seafood (plenty of choices besides seafood). Loved Celebrity Circle at Broadway at the Beach!! Crocodile Rocks was GREAT!! It was well worth the $5 cover. Also if you love Southern Rock go to the Easyriders Cafe. Great band called Three Legged Dog was playing. They had no cover charge and good drink specials. We loved just goin to the upstairs bar area, playin pool and listening to the band. Fat Tuesdays was great too, have to check out the daquiri setup. We also hit the rest of Broadway at the Beach. Very nice stores, nice enviornment. Loved the aquarium but forgot my camera for it :( Recommend you learn some of the side streets fast or else you will be stuck in traffic alot. Also there are coupon books everywhere, use them.

For the past 3 years our family has gone Myrtle Beach. There are so many things to do and see. You will never be bored and everything is so close and very easy to find. I have found that if you call the chamber of commerce in Myrtle Beach S.C. they will send you a 200+ page book of every motel, hotel in that area. It is a colored 8 x 11 and gives pictures of the interior and exterior of the places to stay as well as the shops and restaurants. This book will give prices on everthing and the dates that they are opened. When you register with the chamber of commerce brochures will be coming in the mail non-stop which is great. Nobody will every call to sell you anything and you can make your plans will all the information that you have received. Our family usually goes in October which off season starts, but the ocean is still warm to swim in and the temp. at Myrtle Beach is still in the mid 70's to 80's, the rooms are cheaper,($27.00 a night for a family of 4 on the oceanfront. who can beat that!) Every year we stay at Tropical Seas which is a small but very nice place on the ocean. We had a full kitchen, indoor/outdoor pool, breakfast was $1 each and so was lunch (which is served there). Enjoy your vacation there because we do every year and will continue to go there every October.

We recently returned from our first vacation at Myrtle Beach. We were there from 8/2/98 to 8/8/98. I wish I could say that it was great, but I can't. The main part of our problem was the accomadations. We stayed at the Swamp Fox. I will say that the people were very nice and did try to accomadate us. Our ocean front room was on the sixteenth floor. We rode an elevator from hell to get there. The elevator shook and made all kinds of noises. We questioned the safety on our future trips. At one time or other, we had different odors in the room and outside the room. As I said, the staff did try to fix things, but first impressions stayed with us. Our ocean front view room turned out to be an obstructed view room with various creatures crawling on the balcony. I figure these creatures came from the obstruction, a concrete box with unmaintained plants that had an oder. If anyone in the future is staying at the Swampfox on the sixteenth floor in an ocean view room, make sure it is one of the un-obstructed view rooms. Another disappointment was the beach. I thought it was very dirty. There were broken shells all over as well as garbage; cans, paper, fireworks, cigeratte butts, and other misc. junk. I even saw broken glass. As I walked farther north, I think the beach did get nicer. At the beach, the lifeguards have to rent chairs out instead of doing their main job that needs to be done. We stayed out of the room as much as possible. On the positive side, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, the Waterparks, and the various eating establishments were great. If we had better accomadadtions, I think the trip would be much better. I would go back to Myrtle Beach, but aI would not stay at the Swampfox again. If anyone has any questions, feel free to E-mail me at Yadash@aol.com. We did check out other places to stay while we were there.

SUBJECT: NASCAR CAFE The nascar cafe needs to learn when to make a buck, and when not too. All my son talked about last year was going to the Nascar Cafe to see Jeff Gordons car and maybe a picture of it. Well after a dinner that cost over 35.00 for two adults and two children under the age of 4 we decided to walk around the lobby. There it was Jeff gordon's car, my son had eyes like silver dollar's. he ran up yo it and wanted to get in for a picture, when suddenly a women stopped him and told him, 6 dollars please. He said " I just want a picture of it next to me", still again " 6 dollars" His heart almost broke, this the car with the driver that millions of kids look up to as a role model of good morels and faith, and now all I can think of is what a bunch of crap. too make an extra 6dollars off a childs dream and only want of the entire vacation. This is very low and almost evil. It's a good thing there are parents to help nurture a child when there biggest role model lets them down for a lousy 6 dollars, when the week before he won almost a million dollars, plus endorsments. Well there is the story, you decide if you want to go there , I don't believe we will be going back. Oh yea, by the way, they have a Dale Earnhardt car there also, same price. JMS

We just got back from visiting Myrtle Beach. We stayed in North Myrtle Beach at Tilghmans Beach Resort Condos. It was a nice place. It was clean and kept up well. We ate at Bennett's(a waste), bypass it for sure.Unless you like Duff's, then you will feel right at home. Hard Rock Cafe was great, nobody complained about the food(get a pig sandwich),T-Bonz was excellent!If you like Italian eat at Tony's(great atmosphere)They have a man with a quitar singing from table to table.We also ate at Outrigger's, it was Ok. None of us were impressed with the food,but the service was great.We really expected better food for the money. Fuddrucker's at Barefoot landing had great burgers! The restaraunts at Barefoot landing is the only good thing I can say about that place! Go to Broadway at the Beach, that's the place to go!You have to see Ripley's Aquarium! They also have a lazer show at night at Broadway. There are all kind of Putt- Putt courses for the kids. Their favorite was Mayday Golf in North Myrtle Beach. For a great tour boat ride...Go on the Sea Screamer, located in Little River. The kids loved it, it a huge speed boat. You go out on the ocean and we got to see dolphins. I almost forgot. If you want good homemade ice cream. Stop at Painters on Kings Highway in North Myrtle Beach.

Myrtle Beach is a great place to go to just relax. Even though there's so much to do, I never feel tired when returning home. My favorite places to visit are the pavillion, Broadway at the Beach, and the beach itself. When visiting Broadway, you must visit the Fudgery across from Yamato's Japanese Steakhouse. The kids working there give a great show when explaining and making fudge. They have a great time. My favorite night spot is Crocodile Rock, the club with the dueling pianos. It is the best party atmosphere you can have. When visiting Myrtle Beach, I make it a point to go there. It is located at Celebrity Square at Broadway at the Beach. The Ripley's Aquarium is great too and for great calabash seafood, visit Steere's or Seafare in Merrills Inlet. My last visit was 8/98 and I hope to go back before cold weather.

Myrtle Beach, SC is a repeat vacation spot for me. Every time I go there they've got some new construction underway and have completed construction of something else. When I visit, I have always stayed at the Viking Motel. It's a family owned and operated motel and they've always treated me great! Every time I've stayed there, there was some kind of improvement since my last stay. The staff is always courteous and friendly. This place is right on the beach! They have wonderful beach front rooms and lots of parking. In fact, they let other motels use there parking, because it's in such demand, and they still have plenty.

We stayed at the Captain's Quarters from 8/2 to 8/5 and had a great time. The staff is helpful and gives prompt service. The rooms are clean and in good condition. The parking deck was full by 10:30 or 11:00 each night. We have a three year old and an 18-month old. We found lots of activities for them at both Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach. Ripley's Aquarium was impressive. We went to both Family Kingdom and the Pavilion, and found Family Kingdom to be better for the children. The highlight of the week for me was the Nascar Cafe. Best ribs I've ever eaten. Michael was our 'driver'. Ultimate California Pizza was good. Do not go to the IHOP on King's Highway and about S. 14th. Ave. The orange juice was watery. We planned our whole trip based on comments from this webpage. Thanks to all who made submissions. R. Kenneth McFalls

We spent a long weekend at Myrtle Beach 7/31/98. We stayed for one night at the Patricia North due to recommendations we read on this travelogue. We loved the hotel and the rooms are very nice. The parking is a different story. The ramp to the parking lot is so steep that my car could not go up the ramp even after scrapping. Another couple in the elevator asked us at random, how many scratches our car had received on the parking ramp. They said they received a new set of scratches everytime they tried to leave the hotel. Even the person that worked there stated that their car scratched everytime they parked for work but at least they are getting paid not paying $155 for a night. Parking downstairs is for conversion vans only. If you have a car with ground effects or anything that could possibly drag, you should be aware of the potential parking problem. The continental breakfast was orange juice, coffee, and doughnuts. Several people mentioned that there should be more choices. Crabby Mikes has a great buffet and is worth the money although I wish they had an option of buffet without crablegs so that I could go back and enjoy all of the other delicious food.

Restaurants for the most part were wonderful. We had a BAD experience at Planet Hollywood. They are not very accomodating to large groups. We had nine in our group and were willing to break down to two or three smaller groups. After waiting 2 1/2 hours, (almost 10 pm at night), we decided to leave and go eat somewhere else. They weren't interested in breaking us down to smaller groups. I'd suggest you don't go there unless you have a very small group...or are willing to spend countless hours waiting!

I visted Myrtle beach for the first time this year. I'm glad it was only a weekend visit. I would not recommend Myrtle beach in general, unless you are really into the teenager crusing scene. The beach was dirty and filled with cigarette butts. The Hotel was even worse! We stayed at the Sandcastle. I am ashamed to admit that I was conned into spending $125.00 a night for a small non-ocean front room at this place by a company called Carolina Golf. The room was dirty and in need of renovation. The hallways were filthy. Worst of all I found that the room was only $90.00/night. Carolina Golf later explained away their overcharge as a "commission".

July 27, 1998. Just got back from Myrtle beach and I want to share our experience with Beach Dunes and the lumpy mattress on the sofa bed. The mattress was very old and lumpy so I called the front desk to report the problem. Within 1 hour of calling, someone stopped by to replace the old mattress with a brand new one. That's what I call customer service! I want to add that the staff was friendly and there was maid service every single day of our one week stay. Now the bad stuff, the room reeked of smoke and alcohol and the building was kind of old and rundown, but I want to mention that because the staff was very friendly and the lumpy mattress experience ended up being a pleasant one, and the overall customer service was excellent, we would not hesitate to go back. So if a friendly staff and good customer service is important to you, go to the Beach Dunes. Check out Captain Benjamin's Calabash Seafood restaurant if you want all you can eat crab legs! The Family Kingdom Oceanfront Water Park is a must! If you have small children or toddlers, the children's area at this water park is a nice size and great for the little ones. V.Axelrod...

3D We just returned from a 10 day vacation in MB. We were there from July 12 to July 22. We stayed at the Sea Mist for part of the time and were extremely disappointed. That place is so spread out (22 buildings). We had to have our map with us the whole time. Don't let the ads for this place mislead you. The water park is nothing special and depending on which building you are in, can be a challenge to even find. The rooms are nothing special either. It appeared to me that the owners are trying to buy up all the surrounding small hotels and it is just too spread out. The SandCastle on N. Ocean Blvd was a nice place to stay. The seafood at Seafare Rest. in Murrell's Inlet was absolutely the best we have ever had and with a coupon was very reasonably priced. We also enjoyed Medieval Times a lot. Very fun and entertaining. Also, I would encourage everyone to take time to visit Huntington Beach State Park, it is a very nice park. We saw alligators and the crabbing was excellent. The beach was the cleanest and widest we saw. Just pay once and you can use the park until 10 p.m. There was hardly any people on the beach. Really quiet and relaxing.

I have gone to MB with my family since a was a little baby. We love staying at Ocean Lakes Campground. You don't HAVE to camp, because there are places already there (trailers made into houses and even humongous beach houses!). They have two pools, a few small lakes my dad loves to fish in, a camptown store where you can buy souvineers and other nessacary small things, the best ice cream in the world, an arcade, and also, my favorite part, almost everyone rides around in golf carts that you can rent there by the day or by the week! It is so fun! Try Ocean Lakes because it is very family oriented and isn't violent or nasty. I also enjoyed the Dixie Stampede and Midevil Times. My parents like the Grand Ol' Opry and the Gatlin Brothers. The whole family loves Barefoot Landing and we hope to try Broadway at the Beach soon. We do, however, have a hard time finding good food at MB, and most all of the time eat at the campground in our house.

3DWarning!!! We just returned from our trip to myrtle beach. We checked in at the Palace Resort on July 19,1998 and left on the 22nd of July. We were told our room was ready when we checked in at 1:30pm, but when we got to our room the bed linens had lots of hair and make-up on them and the carpet had not been vaccumed. We called room service and alerted them of our unclean room, but they argued and said it was clean. 2 hours later they finally came up and changed the linens. I had to vaccum our room the next day myself. Our toliet also overflowed an hour after checking in it took 2 1/2 hours and one trip to the desk and 2 calls to get it cleaned up. The garbage disposal also was broke. I found that out after dumping cereal down it and flipping the switch. The maid told us it did'nt work after I did that, so we had to put with the smell of food that was dumped in the disposal, since the maintance crews were to busy. We also had vists from 1 to 2 inch roaches. ! After speaking with other guest=20 there we were'nt the only ones with problems. Others had no hot water, no air, smelly rooms and so on. The wait at the elevators averaged 10 to 15 min. The outdoor spas had cold water in them and alot of the jets were'nt working on them also. The pools were very cloudy. I could'nt wait until it was time to check out. These people that are empolyed there all need to be fired and replaced with people that can properly run a resort. On by previous trip to the beach in June of 98 we stayed at the Crown Reef Resort it was great, they had 20 pools and very cheap breakfast and lunch menus in one the 3 resturants they have. They were booked when we came down on this trip, I really missed the Crown Reef while we were staying at the Palace. Other than our stay everything else was great. If you want a good place to eat we sugguest Bummz Beach Cafe at 2002 N. Ocean blvd, they have great philly's and grilled chix sandwichs. You can dine in or outside on the patio/lawn which is ocean front. They have bands that=20 play outside in the evenings. Sorry this is so long but I thought other people ought to know about the Palace before making reservations. Try the Crown Reef Resort you want be sorry it's great and they appreciate their patrons. =20

We recently returned from Myrtle Bch in July. Had a lovely time. I've been going to Myrtle Bch for probably 20 years or more, however, it was my husbands first time. He really liked it and we're looking for other places to stay as we would like to bring our poodle with us. I have contacted several hotels and they don't allow pets. Does anyone out there know of any hotel or beach cottage that would like to have our poodle stay? By the way, we stayed at Forest Dunes. While the room was large and had a perfect view of the ocean and had a full kitchen, two baths. It could have been cleaner. Our white socks were filthy on the bottoms after a couple of trips down the hallway, the kitchen dishes and silverware were dirty. Apparently, had been put away that way. I always wash (again) what I intend to use anyway, but upon doing that the dishes had apparently been just washed off and put away, they were greasy and dirty and a fork had what appeared to be egg yoke dried on it. GROSS! Lazy people, the room had a dishwasher. I wouldn't recommend these accomodations. Please let me know about puppy rooms. Thanks

We have just returned from Myrtle Beach(7/16/98).It is a great place to vacation.Our stay at the Captain's Quarters was okay, but here are a few of our likes and dislikes.Also keep in mind that we are very picky!! Our dislikes were no ice machines on every floor (only on 1st and 2nd),there were no bathrooms near the pool, it was too close to the Pavilion Amusement Park, the "H" style suite which was an angle view was okay. The view was nice (6th floor), but the bedroom was way too small. The single A/C unit cooled the rest of the room fine, but the bedroom was a little warm. A fan was provided which was well needed.The brochure showed 2 slides by the pool, but had been removed way before our visit. The things we Liked about it was there was covered parking on the same side of street except when full around midnight. The employees were helpful and courteous. The pools were nice sized with no overcrowding and plenty of chaise lounges. All in all we enjoyed our visit and plan to go back to Myrtle Beach. We are looking for a better place, so keep the comments coming.

We recently stayed at Forest Dunes. Our view was lovely, the room was nice and roomy with all the accomodations. However, we found it could have been cleaner. We had white socks on and the bottoms of our socks were black. Although I always wash to dishes before we use them. The condo had a dishwasher. I got used a glass to simply take some medicine. I noticed a glass had lip stick on it! Gross! So when I proceeded to put all the dishes we intended to use during our visit in the dishwasher, the dishes had food on the bottoms and were slick and greasy like they had been rinsed and just put away. I think they depend on the guests to clean the room, since they leave a dust pan and broom with a mop and bucket. However, when your on vacation, cleaning is not on the top of my list. So in that regard we were disappointed and would not stay there again. We are, however, looking for a condo or hotel with kitchen on N.

7/13/98 We just returned from a week's vacation in Myrtle Beach and it was the best vacation that we've had in years. We stayed at The Caribbean Resort at 3000 N. Ocean Blvd. It was close enough for the teenagers to walk to the Pavilion but yet far enough away from the noise for those of us that enjoy a little solitude (if that is possible during the week of the 4th of July). The hotel and grounds were immaculate and the staff were very helpful. The best place that we found for meals was at Broadway on the Beach, Planet Hollywood. Very generous portions and reasonable prices. We usually shared our meals because the portions were too much for one person. Broadway on the Beach has exceptional shopping and dining. Can't wait to return next year.

I have gone to Myrtle Beach every year for a week in October. I have stayed at a few different places. My favorite one was Lakewood Family Campground. They had nice indoor and outdoor pools, an arcade and many other neat things. July 12, 1998

3D We are interested in any condos or hotels that have suites that are oceanfront in North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Hill, Little River, etc. that will let you have a small pet (15 lbs.) that is trained. Please let us know if you know of such a place. We would like to go the end of July. Thanks.

Have any of you beach lovers ever stayed at the Atlantic Paradise? My husband and I will be going August 16th, 1998 and would love to hear any comments on this hotel. Thanks in advance! Also any afternoon boat trips that were reasonable and fun.

LOOKING FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON THE MYRTLE BEACH RESORT. 2 ADULTS, 4 KIDS. GOING FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 1998. RESERVATIONS IN BLDG "B". WHAT'S GOOD/BAD ABOUT THIS PLACE? DO'S AND DON'TS? SAFE TO LET THE KIDS WALK AROUND ON THEIR OWN? IS IT A REAL VACATION, OR A HASSLE-AWAY-FROM-HOME LIKE SO MANY OTHER PLACES? THANKS MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT.
