Start with the vacation you want, not the resort name. Oceana Resorts is a collection of four oceanfront resorts in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and they are deliberately different from one another. One takes dogs. One puts a hot breakfast for two on the table every morning. One has a full-service spa. One is built for staying a while.
So the useful question is not “which resort is best?” It is what kind of vacation are you looking for?
What kind of trip is this?
You are bringing the dog
Go to Ocean Park Resort, on the south end of Myrtle Beach. It is our dog-friendly resort, with small dogs welcome in select pet-friendly rooms on designated floors, a large outdoor pool, an oceanfront sundeck, and an on-site dog groomer. Two dogs per room, 40 lbs. each, and we need advance notice so we can put you in the right room.

It is a family beach week
Go to Carolinian Beach Resort, oceanfront in the heart of downtown Myrtle Beach. Book direct and breakfast for two is included every morning, cooked to order at Azure, the oceanfront restaurant at The Patricia Grand two blocks away. Add an oceanfront pool deck, a seasonal lazy river, a fitness center and rooms that run from standard doubles up to three-bedroom suites, and the week gets a lot simpler to plan.

You want the spa, and quiet
Go to Anderson Ocean Club and Spa. It is our upscale oceanfront property, rich and refined, with the full-service Awakening Spa on site, a lazy river, and accommodations from ocean-view studios up to a three-bedroom oceanfront penthouse. Good for a honeymoon, a golf trip, or a week where the plan is nothing.
Browse treatments: Awakening Spa. Note that Anderson does not accept pets — ADA service animals are always welcome.
You are staying a while, or the group is a mixed bag
Go to The Patricia Grand, oceanfront in downtown Myrtle Beach. It has the widest spread of room types, indoor and outdoor pools, oceanfront dining on site at Azure, and a monthly winter rental program from October through March for guests who want to settle in rather than pass through.

Questions people ask before they choose
How many resorts does Oceana Resorts have?
Four: Anderson Ocean Club and Spa, Carolinian Beach Resort, Ocean Park Resort, and The Patricia Grand.
Are all four resorts oceanfront?
Yes. All four sit directly on the Atlantic in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with direct beach access.
Which Oceana resort allows dogs?
Ocean Park Resort is our dog-friendly resort. The Patricia Grand also has select pet-friendly rooms with a 20 lb. limit. Anderson Ocean Club and Carolinian Beach Resort do not accept pets, though ADA service animals are welcome everywhere.
Is Oceana Resorts all-inclusive?
No. Meals and activities are not bundled into the room rate. What you do get for booking direct is the Book Direct Privileges package above — attraction tickets, the discount card, kids staying free, and breakfast for two if you are at Carolinian.
Do I have to pick a resort before I check rates?
No. The booking search on this site checks all four at once, so you can compare dates and rates side by side and then choose.
