“Great stay in nice resort with friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

This was mine and my husband's first stay at Compass Cove Resort and we LOVED it!!!!! Friendliest staff we have ever encountered!! Made us feel very welcome! They were very informative in showing/telling us about everything and where everything was. We stayed in the Pinnacle Tower in an oceanfront room. The room was clean and nice. We had one with a mini kitchen and a full size refrigerator. We were on the 3rd floor and when you walked out on our balcony you could see the nice patio to the Crows Nest restaurant which was directly below us and you talk about some good smells! Always smelled good when you walked outside. The room also had a nice flat screen TV. We ate breakfast one morning in the Compass Rose restaurant which was very nice too. Breakfast buffet OR you could order from menu. Food was good and prices reasonable. Everywhere we went in this resort we encountered very friendly people. Staff is right on top of things....we were in the elevator and one of the staff noticed some kind of spill on the floor and he immediately called to have someone clean it up ASAP. That just impressed us cause we had not encountered this kind of promptness before. There were lots of pools and looked like fun things for kids to do too. We stayed out shopping most of the weekend and it was January, even though it was in the 70s, so we didn't use any of the pools but they looked nice. They even had some that were heated. At my first glance upon arrival to Compass Cove I thought it was a smaller hotel because checkin is in one building, but then you realize there are 3 different towers and each tower has its own parking garage too. Only thing is the tower we stayed in, the parking garage stayed full, so we just parked across the street in their overflow parking garage which to me was a little bit bigger, and was only a hop, skip and a jump across the street to your room. We will most definitely stay here again when we come back to Myrtle Beach. We had been staying in a condo in North Myrtle Beach, but not anymore. Compass Cove is also in a great location, close enough to everything, but not jam up in the busiest part of the strip. My husband and I most definitely recommend this resort to anybody who wants to stay at a nice resort and be treated greatly!!

“Great vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

Stayed at the Compass Cove in a 3 bedroom oceanfront (north tower) condo in October 2012. What a good time. The price was very reasonable and the unit was beautiful and roomy. Tons of pools and things to do...and the breakfast each morning was delicious and not very expensive. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing bad that I have to say is that I only stayed 1 week and had to head home to get back to work. We will be back for sure.

“good stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

first time visiting this hotel and the experience was nice. beds were comfortable, room was clean. only problems were that the ice maker in the refrigerator did not work, and the clerk at the front desk forgot to program our door keys, we couldn't get in, and had to go back to the front desk to have them programmed. other than that, there are no complaints.

Room Tip: try to get an ocean view. also the higher the floor, the better the view and the further away you a...

“A great place for kids”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

If your kids like to swim like mine do, they'll love Compass Cove. We visit several times each winter. Security is awesome, too. They make you feel very safe from theft. The travel ladies will bend over backwards to help you find fun things to do no matter what time of year.

Room Tip: Pinnacle Corner suites are nice and roomy for a crowd.
