Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Nestled on the beachfront, Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion draws in guests with its prime location, though the property has been likened to a motel by some. A number of guests commend the lively vibe, complete with energetic music, but point out that the atmosphere may verge on noisy and the decor feels dated. Service quality appears to be a hit or miss, with instances of both commendable and disappointing staff encounters reported. Room conditions are a common concern, as guests frequently criticize the cleanliness and maintenance. The pool and Tiki bar are highlights for many, yet contrasting views on room upkeep and additional charges contribute to the mixed reception regarding the resort's value.

Although a very out dated "resort" the oceanfront view was AMAZING! Very limited balcony space but was able to capture beautiful sunrise and sunset! The location is central to a lot of fun activities including 1.5 miles to Broadway at the Beach. Great family fun!!

First the customer service was great. Friendly staff, always greeted us when we were out and about. Great location, close to many restaurants and stores. We walked pretty much everywhere. Easy access to the beach and pier at 14th avenue. We love visiting there. Over it was a great experience and we will definitely be visiting there again.

It was a satisfying experience. Oceanview stay, right on the beach and not far from the boardwalk. I enjoyed my stay, it’s close to the place where i walk and the price was very cheap. High quality & 100% worth the price. Highly Recommended.

This is our second time staying at the Sandcastle Oceanfront at the Pavilion. We, again, enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff is always friendly, personable and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and we feel safe while there. The hotel is within walking distance of good eating and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Parking is across the street and easy. Although it was a little chilly and rainy to be on the beach, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the ocean. They could maybe use some updated carpet in the hallways, but this is not a big complaint.
