Hello from Myrtle Beach.

As you may have witnessed through various news outlets, a wildfire that began yesterday is currently affecting a section of the North Myrtle Beach area.  Tourism throughout Myrtle Beach proper and in particular, the Coral Beach Resort, Sea Crest Resort and Holiday Inn-“At the Pavilion”, have not been directly impacted by this terrible event.

The fire is currently located well west of the Intracoastal Waterway, affecting a small area of the Grand Strand, approximately 20 to 25 miles north.  To date, the wildfire has caused damage to private homes in the North Myrtle Beach area. Luckily, no major injuries have been reported and area fire and safety personnel are tirelessly working to minimize impact to homes and wooded lands in the surrounding area.

Even with the tragedy currently affecting our area, Coral Beach Resort & Suites, Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort and Holiday Inn-“At the Pavilion” are open. In addition, we are continuing to accept reservations for those looking forward to a Myrtle Beach family vacation weekend.

We are deeply saddened by the current happenings in our area and are keeping our friends and neighbors in our thoughts and prayers. As we move forward, we ask that you do the same.

Until next time, feel free to let me know your thoughts on what’s happening at any of our three resorts.

Welcome again to our premier oceanfront resorts blog and Happy Spring to you! I’m Lynette Emiroglu, director of sales and marketing for Coral Beach Resort & Suites, Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort and Holiday Inn-“At the Pavilion.”

Throughout all of our resorts, we’re currently running a phenomenal special that will certainly help resort visitors like you in planning your next Myrtle Beach vacation.  Dubbed the “Early Book” savings program, it is designed to help Myrtle Beach-bound vacationers save on lodging costs.

For a limited time, vacationers who book their Myrtle Beach vacations in advance can save up to 35 percent on lodging costs at Coral Beach, Sea Crest or the Holiday Inn-“At the Pavilion.” The rates for this special are as follows:

·         Booking 90 days in advance – 35 percent savings

·         Booking 60 days in advance – 30 percent savings

·         Booking 30 days in advance – 25 percent savings

In addition to the “Early Book” program, our three properties are offering one free night’s stay during the leisure seasons with the purchase of a two-night stay in-season via our “Free Stays Program.”

We are excited about these great savings opportunities for potential and repeat Myrtle Beach vacationers. In the face of today’s economic uncertainty, we fully believe in providing value to those who deserve, and are in need of, a relaxing vacation. Our three properties have been a fixture in Myrtle Beach for more than 25 years, and we feel obliged to give customers more value for their money.

Until next time, feel free to let me know your thoughts on what’s happening at any of our three resorts.
