Breakers Hotel Myrtle Beach Review

The Breakers Resort has carefully planned each of its hotels to include comfortable rooms, seaside views and large, family-friendly pools. The different locations allow for flexibility in pricing and attractions. The Paradise Tower is within walking distance of many restaurants and shops, always a plus due to the constant, heavy traffic. Paradise Tower features a sauna, a fitness room and large pools for both adults and children. These features are open to all guests at the Breakers, whether they stay in the main resort or one of the towers. The North Tower features luxury suits with one, two or three bedrooms, as well as large pools, a fitness room and a large hot tub. It is also surrounded by shops and attractions but provides a quieter atmosphere.

The Breakers Resort is a pleasant hotel and has reasonable prices for beachfront rooms. The pools are much larger than those at other resorts and offer more variety. There is a hot tub the size of a small pool, an indoor/outdoor lazy river and a pirate ship set in a shallow pool for small children. The indoor pools allow swimming regardless of the weather.

A two-bedroom suite in the Paradise or North towers runs about $1,000 to $1,500 for a seven-day stay in the summer. The off-season prices, in the fall, drop a few hundred for a week. The suites feature a kitchen, and some of the master bedrooms have their own private bath with a Jacuzzi tub. The beds are nice, but most of the furniture is uncomfortable. The material for the couches and chairs is hard and slick, making sitting for long periods of time disagreeable. The colors are bright and bold, featuring yellows and blues, and can make it harder to relax. As with most resorts on the main strip, the parking garage is across the street, making it hard to get to and from your hotel during the busy season.

The suites are a bit on the expensive side during the summer, but about average compared to the prices you'll get at most nice beachfront hotels. The prompt room service, spacious hotel rooms and extra features such as the pools and prime location to local attractions and restaurants makes it worth a little extra cash to stay there. If you're looking for something a little more private and relaxing, the Breakers' sister properties have the same high-quality service with a more peaceful feeling. The Caribbean Resort is especially nice. It has many of the same features as the Breakers but offers more comfortable room layouts with less vivid decor.
