Best Hotels near The Carolina Opry

The sprawling Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes sits about 6 miles northeast along the coast from downtown Myrtle Beach. The resort was renovated completely in 2017, which brought updated guest rooms, meeting space and other amenities. Guests have access to numerous pools (indoor and outdoor, heated and unheated) and the beach – basically everything you and your brood could need for a relaxing week by the sea. When you're not lounging in the sun, rooms offer a comfortable respite, with pillow-top mattresses, marble bathrooms and Bath & Body Works toiletries. The hotel receives accolades for service and cleanliness as well. Recent guests recommended requesting an oceanfront room to fully take advantage of the hotel's prime location. The only downside here, according to some recent guests, was the resort fee (which is added on to the room rate even during the offseason). Thanks to the property's Marriott ties, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn or redeem points here.

In-room spa treatments and pristine grounds make the Marina Inn the ideal getaway for leisure-seekers. Guests report the rooms are spacious with well-appointed amenities like private balconies, 47-inch flat-screen TVs and Tommy Bahama toiletries. Many also pinpoint the unobstructed views of either the golf course or the Intracoastal Waterway (offered in almost every room) as the hotel's main allure. But beachgoers should note that the Marina Inn is not an oceanfront property. To get to the beach, you'll need to drive a few miles down Grand Dunes Boulevard. The hotel also offers a free shuttle to get to the beach. If you get tired of spa treatments, leisure activities and plentiful dining on the resort premises, you can also take a 10-mile drive south to downtown Myrtle Beach.

The Island Vista offers guests a sophisticated and relaxing retreat from the kitsch factor of downtown Myrtle Beach (which is just 5 miles south of this hotel). Plus, the Vista earns almost unanimous praise from guests for its attentive staff and oceanfront location. Guests report the suites are spacious and comfortably decorated, with granite counter tops, full kitchens, large living rooms and oceanview balconies. Along with the spacious digs, Island Vista also offers two on-site dining venues, a remodeled fitness center, spa treatments, an oceanfront pool and tanning lawn and a bevy of children's activities. Past visitors noted that because of its family-friendly nature, the resort gets quite crowded with kids come summertime, something couples looking for R&R may want to consider before booking a stay here.
