Overall, I enjoyed my stay. 1st day I was able to see dolphins playing in the surf from my balcony. There is a $100 hold on your credit card that no one wanted to talk about when I made calls to confirm reservations. I wasn't told of the deposit until I checked in, even though I asked. When I checked out, the staff kept calling me by the wrong name and seemed annoyed that I corrected them and double checked to make sure I was checked out of the correct room. I liked the hotel, I'd stay again, since there was little interaction with the rude staff. The maids were very friendly.

Positives: My room was huge, bed was comfortable, clean.

Negatives: The front desk staff was rude.

Positives: Family friendly with many kid oriented activities. Also, my family had a partial ocean view room that was actually spectacular.

Negatives: Some of the pools did not seem clean, the water was cloudy in the lazy river and debris was floating in a pool.

Some of the pools were really dirty, especially the indoor lazy river. It was filthy! The room was ok, the carpets had a dirty feel to them (don't walk bare feet) and the couch and chair were very stained and dirty looking. The beds were comfortable-that was the best thing about that place. They set up umbrellas and chairs along the water line very close together-almost touching and they charge you $30 a day to rent them. The thing is though, they won't let you set your umbrella up in front of them-so unless you're willing to pay an additional $30 a day you have to look through umbrellas and chairs to see the ocean. They are set so close together you literally have to turn sideways to get through them. Also, unless you get down to the pool by 8 am you do not get a chair. People save chairs all day long while they're at the beach. I went with small children and it was impossible to find a chair near the baby pool-every chair has a towel on it, but the pool would be nearly empty. They have signs everywhere saying not to save chairs, but the rule is not enforced.

Positives: Comfortable beds-nice view from the balcony.

Negatives: Dirty pools-could not find a seat around pool area. People save them all day while they are at the beach.

From check in to check out everything was quick and easy. There was plenty of good parking, the staff was quick to respond and everything worked.

Positives: Lots of pools, and very easy access to the beach. Loved the balcony.

Negatives: At the time of my stay it was being renovated so it was a little smelly.

Hotel was clean warm and friendly as I expected.

Negatives: The construction but its that time of year.

This was our second stay at Compass Cove and we will go back. There is no reason for us to even consider any other resort in Myrtle Beach. Great breakfast food, friendly staff, spotless rooms, 22 pools and right on the beach. Our only complaint was that the front desk staff gave us wrong directions both times we asked. Oh well, next time we'll bring our own map. Still going back!

Positives: Great facility, close to everything you want, clean and friendly people.

Negatives: Received wrong directions from staff, twice.

Upon check-in, I realized that I was getting something different in the room than I had originally planned for. The front desk supervisor was very rude and very nonchalant about my needs. I have stayed at this hotel for several years in a row and I have never encountered someone so rude and inconsiderate. Other than that, the hotel is great. It is a wonderful location and the pools are heated even in the wintertime.

Positives: I like the set-up of the room.

Negatives: The front desk supervisor was not friendly at all.

Hotel had parking in a multi tiered lot that was just outside of room. Room was very clean and hotel had many pools both indoor and out. For the price we paid hotel offered very good value.

Positives: Clean room good view of ocean.

Negatives: Not smoking room had smell of smoke.

Having to walk 300 yards for ice, a new non-smoking policy, and the open construction going on over-shadowed the excellent view of the ocean and cleanliness of the room. The parking has always been a issue, but Compass Cove has always been my first choice for many years. Not only for the quality, but for sentimental reasons also. The situation with the ice and new non-smoking policy caused this to be my last time staying there.

Positives: The excellent view of the ocean and cleanliness of the room.

Negatives: Having to walk 300 yards for ice, a new non-smoking policy, and the open construction going on.

I really only slept there and was gone most of the day and night playing in a bridge tournament at another site. There are many pools of different styles and an exercise room, none of which I had time to visit.

Positives: The room; bed; location on beach.

Negatives: Shower nozzle quite low.

The hotel was very nice and the staff was very friendly. I was not aware that I had to give a 100.00 deposit to stay and luckily I had the money on my debit card but had I not I would have been in trouble.

Positives: The staff, there was a restaurant and covered parking.

Negatives: The unexpected required deposit.

Enjoyed our stay. Room was adequate but not great. Bedroom living room seemed backwards. Public corridors seemed worn. Parking was a pain with a full sized truck. Had fun on the beach. Pools looked fun but we didn't have time for them. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Excellent quality (fresh) at a ten dollar price per plate.

Positives: Convenient to Ocean, Excellent breakfast buffet.

Negatives: No movies to rent on TV system.
