“Great time!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

The resort was great! We went for a weekend in January. The room was clean and comfortable we had the 3 berm ocean front in the Mariner building. The view was amazing double balcony. The indoor pools were great and so warm. The parking garage was very convenient. The breakfast at the resort was very economical for a family of 5 we had the buffet. The service was excellent from the front desk to the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

“Nice Hotel and Really Cool Pools”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Loved the Compass Cove resort. Our family goes to Myrtle Beach a couple of times a year and we usually try to pick a different resort each time. This year we stayed at the Compass Cove Resort. The location is good it is in South Myrtle Beach near the airport so a quieter area of Myrtle Beach. We and our son loved the pools especially the kiddie water play area. The only down side was the small parking deck at the hotel but plenty of parking across the road. Will be returning here.

“Looks good in the pictures but beware”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

This was a family vacation and the overall atmosphere was really great as far as that goes. kid friendly with barbeques available near the pool, water features including a (SMALL) lazy river and indoor water slide/pool. However this property consists of several buildings and the one we stayed in was in poor condition. The room was small and the "kitchen" was non functional for preparing any type of real meals. In addition the room still had rugs ( i guess i expected tile in a beach front hotel) and they were old and musty. There was a leak in the bathroom that was addressed in a timely manner. The overall feel of the room was leaning towers shabby. On the upside it is beach front with easy access to the ocean and a relaxed atmosphere with a nice family feeling.
