Luxury Healing Hotels Grand Palms Resort
1250 US Highway 17 , Surfside Beach, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575, United States
HOTEL OVERVIEW
You know what struck me first about Grand Palms Resort? It’s actually positioned perfectly on Highway 17 in Surfside Beach – and I mean that in the best way possible. While everyone’s fighting for space in the chaos of central Myrtle Beach, this place sits just far enough south to feel like you’re not in a tourist war zone, but close enough that you can still hit all the main attractions without much hassle. The moment you pull up, there’s this immediate sense of “okay, I can breathe here” that honestly surprised me.
The property itself has that solid 4-star feel without trying too hard to be fancy – and I appreciate that approach. The rooms are genuinely comfortable (not just Instagram-comfortable), and there’s something about the way they’ve maintained the place that tells you management actually cares. I mean, you’ll notice it in the small stuff – elevators that don’t creak, hallways that don’t smell weird, and honestly, a front desk staff that seems to know the difference between Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach proper, which matters more than you’d think. The pool area gets busy during peak summer hours, but if you’re strategic about timing – early morning or late afternoon – you can actually enjoy it without feeling like you’re at a water park.
What really sets this place apart though is the location advantage that most people don’t realize until they’re here. You’re literally minutes from some of the better, less crowded beach access points, and honestly, the whole Surfside Beach vibe is just… calmer. The 8.6 rating makes total sense once you experience how they balance being a proper resort with not feeling like you’re trapped in a tourist bubble. Plus, and this is key – parking isn’t a nightmare here like it can be at some of the beachfront properties further north. You’ll find yourself using this place as a home base to explore the Grand Strand area, but actually wanting to come back and hang out rather than just crash for the night.

Helen from United Kingdom
The resort was beautifully maintained. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. We were only there for two nights but wished we had been able to stay longer. Great location and loved the shuttle bus to the beach.
Carrie from United States
Price , location and it is perfect during off season as traffic is minimal around Myrtle beach area
