The Breakers Resort

The staff have been so kind and accommodating. Suite is a great set up with two bathrooms and two bedrooms, very clean. Just a quick walk for Starbucks morning coffee and a buffett breakfast at Papas. Reasonable price.

This was our 8th trip to Breakers in the last 10 years. Our boys have grown up with a Myrtle Beach vacation at Breakers, but have to say this past stay was the worst we have experienced. First, the room was the worst we have had in all our stays. Second floor Paradise building 'ocean view' yes, but also right above the pool and slides that made it noisy all day. And some kind of construction on the pool on Tuesday or Wednesday woke us up early. Sounded like a jackhammer Second, the Papa's breakfast is barely above budget hotel level now. We remember the fresh cinnamon rolls, multiple choices of cereal and other treats and options that have disappeared. We only used 1 day of our 4 available meal tickets, and there were people out front giving theirs away when we were heading to the garage to leave. The 'free breakfast' that we used to look forward to and was a big selling point for us in the past is not a perk any more. Third, the elevators in the Paradise building have a problem with their door sensors. The doors closed on me so hard while I was entering it bruised my arm and knocked my coffee out of my hand. A normal elevator door will only need a light touch to retract and open again. Fourth the internet is weak and spotty at least on our floor The concierge is worthless if you call me to say I have a free gift but only give me 30 minutes to get it while I'm at the beach On a positive note, the room was comfortable and was able to stay cool during an extreme heat wave. Everything in the room worked and was stocked properly. The daily towel exchange was welcome. Props to whomever located the marijuana smokers and had them kicked out. It's sad we probably won't be coming back to Breakers any more for our Myrtle Beach vacations. They have some great bargain prices sometimes, but the amenities are not what they used to be and our kids are outgrowing the experience.

Decent resort of high rise condos in a group of four buildings that has a Marriott between. They actually share pools with them. The rooms were clean and updated. The patio had a couple chairs and table. We had an ocean view room with a panoramic view of the beach. We stayed the Palms building. It seemed that many of the visitors maximized the room capacity and even beyond the maximum. This was evident by the number of people going in and out of rooms together and from the ongoing waits for elevators at check-out and check-in times. It's like college move in/out days. And this was with three elevators in use. Other times it was fine. The pools provided cover and a lazy river. Get there early or you will never get chairs or tables. Not so unusual. The pool building is very outdated but still adequate. Watch for loose pavers, while walking. They give each room two vouchers for a breakfast buffet, which is located across the street. The food is ok, not unlike other free hotel breakfast. Parking is also across the street in a parking garage. Plenty of spaces but they seem to be a little tight, especially with a bigger vehicle. The beach access is excellent. You can rent and reserve a set of chairs and umbrella, if desired. Check for prices. Staff that I encountered were friendly. Towels were stocked and the outdoor area was clean and organized by early evening.
