 "Located on the beach, this 19-story family-friendly high-rise resort hotel is close to restaurants and attractions." 
 "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." 
 "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." Full review
