Myrtle Beach has long been the family vacation center of the coast of South Carolina. It still is, but the all-inclusive resort is slowly replacing the small hotel that families used to flock to in the summer time. The new resorts try to be all inclusive, providing everything you need for a great vacation on the beach. A great hotel, pools, golf, tennis, hotels and great food are what you can expect at a Myrtle Beach resort.
The Dayton House is a good example of the changing face of Myrtle Beach. In 1960. it started as a 14-room hotel, and today it is a 328-room resort that takes up an entire oceanfront block. The hotel has a lot of beach front, restaurant, snack bar, meeting rooms, tennis, and access to local golf courses. You may save money by reserving a golf package with your room. There is free Internet throughout the facility. Rooms with views area available, but you can also get non-ocean view room at a lower price. Efficiencies have kitchenettes, and all rooms have refrigerators available.This resort has swimming pools, sauna, exercise room, video game rooms and complimentary umbrellas for your day at the beach.
