“Best vacation, so relaxing and what a beautiful view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

I just had a great time at Compass Cove. The oceanfront double efficiency was clean, with very comfortable beds and pillows. The view was amazing! The breakfast at Compass Rose was delicious with so much to choose from. Everyone was friendly and helpful. So many swimming pools and several lazy rivers, indoors and out. Everything we needed was right there on location. We did alot of sight seeing but you could easily spend your whole week at this resort and never have to leave the place! Beach access was just steps away! If you want a fun place to swim, exercise and relax or a place where you can just enjoy all of God's creation, you won't be disappointed at Compass Cove. I loved it so much that immediately after check out, I made reservations for next year!!! Thank you Compass Cove and thank You Jesus for a wonderful vacation!!!
Sincerely,
Linda

“Really enjoyed out stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

My mom and I recently spent 4 nights at the Compass Cove and the wonderful winter rate of 49 plus tax for oceanfront. We had a wonderful view. Not any real issues were noted, excited some workers who were doing work on, i think, the stairwell, we there really late and were singing and being loud. Also, when we got there, they told us we had to park on one of two floors because the rest of the garage was being powerwashed. The next day, we had to move our vehicle so the two floors could be powerwashed. The front desk staff were professional but very dry. But the room was very clean, was cleaned daily and was very well-valued. Would stay here again and would recommend to other guests.

Dear KentuckyTravelBug80,

We are glad to see that you enjoyed your stay. We would, however, like to apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pressure washing of our parking garage. The company that was pressure washing the garage was able to complete the top 3 floors the first day and then continued on to the bottom 2 floors the next. This should have been better explained to you at check in and for this lack of communication on our part, we do sincerely apologize. Here at Compass Cove, we pride ourselves on great customer service and providing a clean, safe environment for our guests. We hope that you will continue to choose Compass Cove when you visit the Myrtle Beach area. We look forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon!

Sincerely,

“Good stay for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

This is an older property, but we have stayed two times and found it to be okay. We have stayed in the four story building (Schooner I think?) and both times found the room to be very clean. Incredible, unimpeded view of the ocean. Breakfast restaurant is quite nice and the food was better than expected. Many pools to choose from, including some fun kiddie pools.

Downsides? The elevators are old and sketchy. Cross your fingers there. Pools can be iffy on the cleanliness. My son got choked on water and threw up in the pool and the staff didn't seem overly concerned when I immediately notified them.

“Great Stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012 via mobile

I stayed here with a friend for one night. We had tickets for a show at the House of Blues, & I wanted to stay someplace I haven't stayed in Myrtle Beach before. (Very few places here I haven't stayed in) The room was great! Oceanfront view was amazing. Staff was very friendly, & helpful. Elevators all worked, & came to our floor quickly. Pool looked nice even though we didn't swim in it. Fun place to stay, convenient to shopping, shows, food, & airport. My only complaint is that the bathroom was small, it was very nice, & clean, just a little small. Overall I would recommend to anyone, & I will stay here again. Enjoy your trip!
