Scene
Relaxed beach hotel with ocean views and retro-style, with several restaurants and a nightclub
A friendly and relaxed atmosphere runs throughout the Ocean Drive Beach and Golf Resort, which is popular with vacationers, particularly those who love to golf. The lobby is basic and has tan tile, potted plants, and blue-and-red plush seating, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer pool and ocean views and let in plenty of natural light. Views of the ocean can also be seen from Ocean Drive Cafe, which has green ceilings, wood tables, and blue patterned chairs. A large skylight in the dining area provides much of the light in the restaurant. Neon lights, Tiki-style decorations, and Myrtle Beach murals adorn the OD Beach Club, while the Tiki Bar includes wood statues, tropical artwork, and ocean views. Colorful mood lighting sets the tone at the Spanish Galleon nightclub, along with a beautiful dome skylight and funky tile floors.
Location
On the beach, with attractions less than five minutes away
The Ocean Drive Beach and Golf Resort is right on the beach, and Pirate’s Cove along with many restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Mayday Golf, Surf Golf and Beach Club, and Cherry Grove Pier are all under five minutes away by car. Barefoot Landing, House of Blues Myrtle Beach, and the Alabama Theatre are all around a 12-minute drive, while The Carolina Opry is about 15 minutes. Myrtle Beach International Airport is a half-hour drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Plain rooms, some with balconies and awesome ocean views
Rooms are up-to-date, with tan tile floors and walls, red curtains, and wooden furniture. All come with flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers are tucked into tiny kitchenettes with small sinks. Suites have full-size refrigerators and larger sinks. Many units have balconies with exquisite views of the ocean. Bathrooms feature shower/tub combos and big white countertops and are covered in floral wallpaper and tan tile. Aroma-brand toiletries are provided. There have been past complaints regarding the standards of room cleanliness and some of the bathroom and kitchen areas are on the small side.
Features
Outdoor and indoor pools and hot tubs, plus several restaurants and a nightclub
The top features of the hotel are arguably its outdoor and indoor pools and hot tubs. Across from the outdoor pool sits a lazy river with inner-tubes and there's a hot tub on the same deck. All the outdoor facilities have wonderful ocean views and white plastic seats. There's also an indoor pool with a hot tub and large windows that provide lots of natural light. The resort also has a fitness center with cardio equipment and a sauna in addition to a 24-hour game room with pinball, arcade games, pool tables, and air hockey. Coin-operated laundry facilities are available and there are concierge services. Wi-Fi and parking are also free.
On-site restaurants include the Ocean Drive Cafe, which serves a home-cooked Southern breakfast, and the OD Beach Club, a sports bar and grill. The Tiki Bar offers lunch, drinks, and outdoor seating and drinks and live DJ music are available at the Spanish Galleon nightclub.
