"Located on the beach, this 19-story family-friendly high-rise resort hotel is close to restaurants and attractions."
Lonely Planet
"This longstanding megaresort has three towers of crisp, summery-yellow suites, with only-in-Myrtle-Beach amenities like a pirate-ship swimming pool and a pirate-themed bar."
Fodor's
"There are several pools, a lazy river, and a pirate-ship facade that kids can swim in and around. The hotel is right in the middle of the Myrtle Beach Strip."
