“2 sides”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Sandy Beach has an old side and a new side. The old side a relative of mine was staying in had cockroaches. Also the furniure is so broken down you can't sit on it for more than a hour or so and your back starts hurting. The newer side were I stayed. I saw no cockroaches but know from living in Missouri for awhile that if they are in the building they are everyplace. The newer section rooms are large and spacious but again couches need replaced. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, slept great except for the street noise that started about 6am each day, could of shut my blacony door and slept better but hearing the ocean is part of the trip to the ocean right. The indoor pool is small for as many winter guest as they have. the large outdoor hot tub is gross 3 times went to get in it and it had hair and other particles floating (looked like flakes of skin) and the temperature was luke warm for a "hot" tub. The other hot tub was hot, neither hot tub jets gave a massage, they basically had bubbltes come out that went right to the surface. They do have a nice work out area and a nice laundry room. Parking is across the street, they have minimal handicapped parking esp. in Winter when the snow birds are their not sure how some get to their cars each day. The people that own the condos can have pets and can smoke, so make sure when your checking in that if you have allergies that the owner didn't just have their dog their or was chain smoking. A owner was on the floor i stayed on and you could smell his smoke daily all through the hall ways, they were always up their spraying to cover up the odor...but the spray was just as bad, if I had COPD i would not of been able to breath on that floor.

Room Tip: stay in newer area, find out if owner smokes or has pets. corner units get alot of street noise.

“"Myrtle Beach's Public Pool-everyone welcome!"”

Sandy Beach....Myrtle Beach's PUBLIC POOL!!!!!!!!! Stayed there June 2011 and was very disappointed! There were potato chips floating in the hot tub and the lazy river smelled like urine. The place got very crowded, as people off the streets were coming in to enjoy the pools. The hotel put forth no effort to kick out non-paying guests. We have stayed there in the past but will not be returning.

“Some reviewed must be competitors, because their comments aren't plausible”

I saw a review from Bill saying there are "no flat screen tvs". All the rooms have flat screens in the palmetto tower! Another review complained about the street noise - I question that person - why did you select a room with a street view? From the oceanfront rooms you hear nothing but the sound of water! someone said the walk to the hotel was too far and suggested Breakers. the walk to the hotel is exactly the same as breakers!!!

One other reviewer complained that the lobby was on the second floor and it took for ever for the elevator. First, they have to have it on the second floor. And second, there are STAIRS for those that are not handicapped.


As to cleanliness, I have visited once a year for at least four years and never seen a bug.

Room Tip: Always select the palmetto tower.
