Just wanted to let everyone know my family had the best time. The rooms were wonderful, the staff was just great No complaints from us. My teenagers were so impressed. They had so much fun. We felt safe letting them roam around by themselves. Everything was so clean. Never had not one problem. we plan on going back next summer and spend a whole week. And Mayber bike week too. Thx to all the staff for making our vacation a happy one.

Wouldn't subject my family to this place again. First the good (this is short) -> no surprises at check out - no additional charges, movie rental was charged appropriately, no complaints. Now the bad. We stayed in the tower next to Paradise tower. Old, old, old room - old carpet, old dressers, old beds, old bath, sliding door was so corroded and old no one in family but me was strong enough to actually open and close the door.

Overall summary - dirty pool, dirty lazy river, old, old, old hotel that badly needs to be refurnished, and staff that aren't too concerned about your experience in their hotel.

We were on an upper floor - you need to be in good shape because the elevators TAKE FOREVER. We ended up just walking up and down the steps frequently.

Day 1 - my child gets shocked as he touches the light switch in the bathroom. I call management, they send up a maintenance guy who checks the switch and says there is no problem. I inform him that properly grounded switches shouldn't shock someone and he just shrugs his shoulder and leaves. My child touches it again and gets shocked again. I call the front office and they are indifferent - won't change our room, won't fix the switch. We leave the switch on for the rest of our trip and just don't get near it.

Day 2 - We actually wait for an elevator for the trip up because carrying a cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards and misc other things up 9 flights of stairs gets old quick. As the elevator hits the 10th floor it stops HARD. And nothing happens. Bad sign. There is a phone in the elevator - we call the front desk and they send a maintenance person to get us out of the elevator. As he manually opens the door, he comments that this is the same floor people got stuck on earlier. No one asked our names or apologized for the inconvenience.

Day 4 - We're leaving - parking is in a separate structure across the street and the structure is so narrow two cars can't pass each other on the turns - one always has to backup and let the other pass. Since it is a Sunday LOTS of people are trying to get their cars in front of the building on a fairly busy street - the tower has a small turnaround with two lanes in front of the building. One lane is blocked for 1/2 hour by some inconsiderate people in an Acura, and the other lane is blocked by a Breakers golf cart. I go to the registration desk and ask if they could please move the golf cart so people can actually get in and out of the turnaround - they look at me like I have two heads. They eventually send out a Breakers security guard who asks me why I want the cart moved. I thought it was fairly self evident but I explain the situation to her - if the cart is in the way, people can't actually use that lane to exit the turnaround. She looks confused and says "but we always park the cart there". She offers to move the cart for me so I can get thru, but doesn't understand the concept that taking up one of the two lanes during checkout time isn't very guest-oriented.

Lots of places to stay in Myrte Beach - this is one I would avoid.

We just returned from a week staying at the Breaker's Paradise tower. This was our second trip to this resort. Overall the resort is great for kids. There are many pools, both outdoors and Indoors, the Lazy river (that they all seem to have) and 4-5 hot tubs. My children (4 & 6) loved the pools so much that they didn't want to go to the beach. Beach access is good and umbrellas and chairs can be rented from the lifeguard. The Breakers has ample lounge chair space adjacent to the pool overlooking the ocean and beach. They have two poolside bar/resturants that will charge drinks to your room so you don't need to bring money to the pool area. (The drinks were very good!)
There was a DJ 5 out of our 7 day stay poolside during the afternoon, which was very nice.

We selected to stay in Suite type "W" in the paradise tower. The suite was very roomy and was full of amenities (washer & dryer!). This room type is located on the end of the building so you get incredible views from the side of your room as well as the balcony.

The Paradise tower in general is starting to show some wear... In our room the towel bar was broken, the dresser drawer was broken and silverware was missing from the kitchen. The elevator lobbies had torn carpet and ripped benches.

Overall the hotel was great, the service we experienced was excellent, even check in was not as chaotic as the previous visit.

Four Families, Four Suites, 9 bedrooms, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 12th Floors (I think) Paradise Towers. Ages ranged from 6 to 46.

The rooms on the 3rd floor were probably the worst and they was fabulous. All of the rooms were clean, well maintained, and homey. We had a blast. The pools were great but they were a little warm (What can you expect? You are in the South and it does get hot down here.) The beaches were crowded with tourists from everywhere. Management was very responsive to requests from all of the people in our group. Parking was across the street but it was patrolled. There were plenty of restrooms both inside and out
of the hotel so you didn't have to run up to your room to...... well you know. Getting across the street to the restaurants and parking was no problem at all, if a car did come while you were crossing they would stop and smile while you went across. The little bar next door, "Bumz" was an attraction all by itself. It has both an indoor and outside bar that was very comfortable. They played Carribean music late in the afternoon. The hotel staff kept things hopping at the pools with great music. The beaches were clean (except for the seaweed that had been washed up by the storms that cropped up during the week. We kept our balconey doors open after the sun went down and enjoyed the sounds and sites coming from the beaches, bars and pools. It was probably one of the most pleasant vacations I have been on in several, several years. Everyone in our group of 30 said they wanted to go back next year and stay in the same rooms.

There were some problems. One, it ain't cheap by any stretch of the imagination. One of the elevators stopped working. People "claimed" chairs at the pools at 9:00 in the morning by placing towels on them, they then went about their business (heaven help if you should move a towel off of a chair that was not being used) Several people had towels stolen off chairs (This was actually funny). The maids spoke very little English, I think they spoke Russian, but they were extremely hardworking and very friendly. Our room was always very clean even after the kids (16 of them) camped out in our suite during the day. The pools got dirty late in the afternoon from all of the sand and salt people carried into the pools from the beach. The hotel did have showers everywhere but SOME people just would not use them after coming off of the beach. And there is no internet access in the rooms. But then again I'm on vacation and I can always be reached by cell if it's that important so actually this is a Plus.

We have stayed in other hotels on the beach from Key West to New York. For the money this place is right up there among the best. It sure beats a week in a tiny hotel in the Daytona/Orlando area that cost me almost twice as much. And it was alot cleaner and more comfortable then some of the "4 Star" hotels I have stayed at on business trips (except for that place in the Research Triangle.)

Stay in the Paradise Towers. Grab a cold drink and wait for the sun to start going down. Open your balconey doors, feel the breeze coming off the ocean. listen to the life and happiness going on around you, finish your drink and go find where those pleasant sounds are coming from and join in. You won't be sorry
