#1 Favorite Beach Resort Amenity According to Vacationers

All vacationers have their preferences when traveling, including beach resort amenities. Some vacationers enjoy lounging by the pool, while others prefer lounging in a hot tub.

But which amenity takes the cake for the most popular beach resort amenity?

We asked our Facebook community which beach resort amenity was their favorite: pool, waterpark, hot tub/whirlpool, or lazy river?

This is what they said:

Notable mentions

7% of votes were for all of the above; we certainly like their thinking! And 16% of votes were for amenities not listed, including the ocean and poolside drinks at the bar.

#4: Waterpark

4% of votes were for Waterpark as favorite beach resort amenity.

Beach resorts with waterparks are perfect for families looking for the most excitement, and they provide some of the best value considering they offer so much to do for the kiddos without having to leave the property.

One of our favorite waterpark resorts, Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark, offers plenty of fun for the entire family, year-round! Crown Reef’s oceanfront water slides, kiddie slide, and splash house have all the offerings for an unforgettable family retreat.

Some of our other favorite beach resort waterparks include Landmark Resort’s seasonal H2OASIS Waterpark and Captain’s Quarters Resort’s Shipwreck Lagoon Kids’ Waterpark!

#3: Hot Tub/Whirlpool

16% of votes were for Hot Tub/Whirlpool as favorite beach resort amenity.

Beach vacationers love decompressing in the whirlpool. It’s one of the best ways to unwind at the end of the day and the perfect amenity for winter travelers.

Sea Watch Resort  is no stranger to hot tubs. In fact, this oceanfront resort has 10 hot tubs on the property, including two that are covered seasonally.

One of our other favorite beach resorts with hot tubs is Beach Cove Resort where vacationers can enjoy year-round relaxation at one of the three hot tubs located on the tropical outdoor pool deck. Plus, Beach Cove has an indoor hot tub open year-round.

#2: Pool

21% of votes were for Pool as favorite beach resort amenity.

You can’t enjoy a beach resort getaway without a dip in the pool! It’s the best spot for soaking up the sun during the warmer months. And any beach resort with indoor pools has its own fair share of perks, too.

If you’re looking for a resort that has nearly as many pools as there are days in the week, Sea Watch Resort is your best bet, where you’ll find six oceanfront pools, including two that are covered and heated seasonally.

We also love Ocean Creek Resort’s secluded, seasonal oceanfront Beach Club pool, which overlooks the beach’s rolling dunes. Or consider hotel BLUE, where you’ll find one of the best outdoor poolscapes around.

#1: Lazy River

36% of votes were for Lazy River as favorite beach resort amenity.

Beach vacations are all about relaxation, and there’s no better way to relax than taking a trip on the lazy river at your favorite beach resort. So it’s no surprise that the lazy river was the most popular beach resort amenity among vacationers.

At 570 feet long, Crown Reef Beach Resort and Waterpark boasts the longest, oceanfront resort lazy river in Myrtle Beach! And at The Caravelle Resort, guests can enjoy the seasonally heated outdoor lazy river. Even the kiddos get to relax in the 1-foot kiddie lazy river.
