PALACE RESORT, Myrtle Beach

Palace Resort is situated directly on the oceanfront, providing immediate beach access. Myrtle Beach Airport is a 5-minute drive away, and Myrtle Beach State Park is a 6-minute drive. The surrounding area offers numerous dining options within walking distance, including Gazebo Restaurant, Latitudes Grill, and Fat Man's Dream (0.5 km each). The Grand Strand's attractions - water parks, amusement parks, and over 80 golf courses - are all easily accessible. While the location is a major asset, the immediate area has been described as run-down, so guests should plan evening activities accordingly. For longer stays, the resort's proximity to shopping and dining is convenient, and walking the beach is a highlight for many.

The resort offers studio suites, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom condos, all with private bathrooms, full kitchens (refrigerator, cookware, dining table), and private balconies with ocean views. In-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, coffee facilities, and a safe deposit box. Units are individually owned, so décor and furnishings vary; some are well-maintained with modern features like marble countertops, while others are dated, with worn furniture, uncomfortable mattresses, and maintenance issues. For a consistent experience, higher-floor oceanfront units tend to have better views and less noise from the pool and street. Towels and linens are provided, but extra blankets and pillows may need to be requested. The compact balconies are suitable for standing or sitting briefly, but larger groups may find them cramped.
