One of three lazy rivers

You’re on a top-secret dark ops mission for the Pentagon. The military pouch you’re taking to the secret base in the Amazon contains the information necessary to stop the insurgency. Standard military transport would have been too obvious, so your contact arranged for local transport. It may not look like much, but it’s all you’ve got and the mission is urgent. The yellow submarine has to get past floating mines laid down by the enemy, and navigate a labyrinthine maze filled with hidden dangers along the way in order to avoid discovery. There are even rumors of a giant serpent! Mystery! Adventure! Maybe even a little romance for the grown-ups? How can your kids not have the time of their life at Compass Cove?

One of two indoor pools

The Compass Cove video arcade offers fun for the young and the young at heart! Our game room features pool tables, air hockey, pinball, and all the latest video offerings. Whether it’s a rainy day activity or you’ve simply had your fill of the sun – our on-site video arcade provides indoor fun that’s great for the whole family! When you get tired of collecting seashells, building sand castles and surfing the waves, you can complete your cadet training at a five-star police academy, speed toward victory as a racecar driver while leaving the competition in the dust, or track wild game as a seasoned hunter out for the big kill. The Compass Cove video arcade provides all the thrills you need for a day of indoor fun.

What is more relaxing then spending some time in a hot Jacuzzi and listening to the bubbles as the water jets gently hit your body? There are two hot tubs and five Jacuzzis for just such indulgences at Compass Cove. You left the dog with the neighbors and accidentally gave the boss the wrong number... This vacation isn’t costing you a fortune because there’s just so much to do at Compass Cove that’s free. Isn’t it time to relax? Just lean back and close your eyes... Listen to the calls of the seagulls and the surf as it comes ashore. There will be time enough for worries when you get back home, but for now you can have the time of your life.

Compass Cove has men's and women's saunas

Think about it. Twenty two pool features. Nine pools around the Mariner and Schooner buildings. Thirteen pools around the Pinnacle building. Four outdoor pools. Two indoor pools. Seven hot tubs and Jacuzzis. Three lazy rivers. Six wading pools for young children (including one jungle adventure – our newest kid’s pool and already super popular at the Pinnacle). If we had any more you’d get tuckered out going from one to the next. But you’ve got time. Stay with us for a week and relax – then you only have to visit three different pools per day. (Don’t forget to save some time for the ocean...)

There’s so much to do in Myrtle Beach – para-sailing, water skiing, golfing, shopping, to name on ly a few things – some folks have a time deciding what to do. At Compass Cove you don’t have to do anything, we have it all right here. You can walk around the Schooner and Pinnacle Buildings and visit each of our 22 different pool features. You can lay out on the pool decks and read that book you haven’t had time to get into back home. The kids can burn off some of that energy in the pools and then spend some time in our on-site video game arcade. Later you can play shuffleboard or burn off the calories from that big dinner in our Fitness Center. And if we don’t have enough for you, there’s always the beach...


As you relax on the balcony of one of Compass Cove’s more than 500 rooms (all but a few of them directly facing the ocean), you have the opportunity to pause and reflect on the day. Perhaps you’ll start the morning on the Schooner pool deck, and then take the kids to the Family Kingdom for the first time (or continue a family tradition), and then get in some shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall before heading back to the resort. As you listen to the waves and the seagulls you might contemplate dinner at one of the many restaurants in Murrells Inlet or on restaurant row. Perhaps you’ll decide on the oceanfront dining tradition that is the Sea Captain’s House. But there’s no hurry or schedules to keep; this is your vacation. Compass Cove is your home away from home. Just enjoy the ocean breeze – you’ll get to that other stuff soon enough.

Romance Packages

If you want to start the day off right you can’t do any better than breakfast in the Compass Rose restaurant. If there were a guide-star for good food you’d find the Compass Rose when you looked down from it serving buffet and a la carte breakfast daily from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The bountiful, southern buffet breakfast is comprised of all natural ingredients and is prepared with exquisite attention to detail. The breakfast at Compass Rose is worth experiencing even if you don’t stay with us (but why would you want to limit yourself like that?)

Do you remember the first time your parents took you to a swimming pool? The pure, innocent joy of running in shallow water and splashing anyone who got too close? Compass Cove has 22 pool features, ten of which are on the oceanfront decks of the Pinnacle and Schooner buildings. There’s always plenty of room on the wide Atlantic beach, but if you prefer to stay closer to your room or just don’t feel like getting sand between your toes on a particular day, you don’t have to. We’ve designed every amenity with you in mind. At Compass Cove there’s something for everyone. You don’t have to join the kids by jumping in every single one of our twenty two pool features (but you can if you want to).

Save money at local attractions on our family value packages

The view from the Crow’s Nest deck is worth a million dollars. Where else in Myrtle Beach can you have lunch just minutes from your room and just a few yards from the beach where you spent the morning sunbathing before melting in the hot afternoon sun? Whether you’re just looking for a quick burger and fries for the kids before going out later in the night for calabash, or you want to enjoy a daiquiri on a lazy day because you just don’t have time to be lazy at home, this is your vacation. You deserve the sun and the afternoon breeze and the smell of the salt air... You deserve the time of your life at Compass Cove.

It’s a tradition to look for seashells when you come to the beach. You did it when you walked in the surf with your parents, running back toward the dunes as each wave came in. You built sandcastles and dug moats for them like the thousands of kids before you. Now it’s time to continue the tradition, and take your kids to the edge of a continent and look at waves that traveled over three thousand miles to lap gently at your feet. Compass Cove is for families and for memories that last a lifetime. Come home to Compass Cove and have the time of your life.

There’s something for everyone in Myrtle Beach. Golfing, shopping, sunbathing, surfing, sailing, and dining are just a few of the options that can divert your attention on a sunny day... But if you can’t leave home without your internet – if you have to “IM” the home team between sun-bathing and para-sailing, or if you need to send the boss that one last e-mail or just want to look up what time the latest movie is playing at one of the area’s many theaters – then Compass Cove is the place for you. Wireless internet access is available in all of our more than 500 oceanfront resort guestrooms... and it’s free. Because we know that some people can’t wait to surf when they come to Myrtle Beach, and some people can’t wait to surf the web... even when they're on vacation.

Play shuffleboard

The Compass Cove Gift Shop offers sundries, souvenirs and snacks for last minute shoppers and keepsake collectors alike. Whether you’re looking for toothpaste or t-shirts, sodas, postcards or beach towels, our guest emporium has a little bit of everything for both golfers and vacationers. You’ll find jewelry, beach blankets, boogie boards, sunglasses, film, batteries, coffee and much more. All this without even having to leave the resort!

Enjoy drinks, food and fun at our oceanfront Tiki Hut.
