The Ellie Beach Resort Myrtle Beach, Tapestry by Hilton

Wow, i’ve never had a situation where I literally wanted to tell Hilton to immediately divest of a property. What a way to ruin your brand. I should’ve read the reviews before we booked this place. When we arrived, apparently they were doing a photo shoot for some ad. This meant that there was only one person who could check us in. Which meant we had to wait. And of course, the wait took 15 minutes. As a Hilton honors member, I should never have to wait 15 minutes to check in when there was only one person in front of me. Not only that, we were told our room was ready. When we got there, beds were not made, and the kitchenette was still full of garbage. But wait, there’s more. Then we headed down to get something to eat for lunch. We selected the only low table that was still remaining because we had our daughter with us. When we went to sit, we were told we could not sit there because it was in the view of the next photo shoot. At that point, I was not going to get up. We should not have to inconvenience ourselves once, if not, two times, because of a photo shoot. But wait, there’s more. We ordered our food, and it did not come. After 40 minutes, yes, 40 minutes, we asked the bartender for an update. Apparently the order had not been properly placed. So, the sous chef “personally” made our meal… but got it wrong. They brought my husband a pizza when he had ordered ahi tuna tacos. And they brought me grilled shrimp instead of peel and eat shrimp (thankfully, the grilled shrimp was good). I will say that they comped our meal and with everything else, they gave us a credit on our bill towards food for the week. But it really didn’t get all that much better. The pool was constantly out of towels and we would see families walking from one end of the resort to the other trying to find some. Further, they shut down the pool area every time there is lightning within 10 miles and they shut it down for 30 minutes. I understand bad weather, but this resort is designed so that when the bad weather comes in, the pool areas are locked off. This makes it very difficult to get from point A to point B. And you can never get somewhere without getting your feet dirty unless you decide to walk in the parking garage. That’s just not what I associate with a beach resort. Food was meh, at best. Service was slow. The room was okay, but there was an apparent design flaw because if you wanted the bedroom door open and the bathroom door open, you had to turn slightly sideways to get out of the bathroom. Speaking of bathrooms, there are no bathrooms on the ground level by the pools. You have to go up a level (not convenient when you have kids). Plus, the men’s bathroom closest to the Ellie pool had disgusting urinals and one of the toilets seats was not bolted down… gross. Would never book here again. Hilton, you can do so much better.

We had great time staying at The Ellie Beach resort the entire week in August 2025. Although the hotel has small hiccups here and there like every property that just went through major renovations and reopening, staff is what makes you happy and enjoy your stay. Their team is amazing, trying their best to accommodate, going above and beyond to make sure you are enjoying your stay. The pool area, beach, pier, hotel restaurant are well maintained and clean. Our room was also spacious and clean. They had multiple events going on during our stay including foam party. The market with their coffee and smiling faces in the mornings were just perfect. Parking was also not hard to find and understandable to pay $15 for an overnight like all hotels in the area. Flying over planes and helicopters were not an issue for us as it was quite pleasant to watch them landing while sitting on the beach. Drinks (pina coladas) at the pool area were delicious. Food ordered there was coming out right away. The only think I would like to mention is the pet policy. We were planning to bring out pup with us but unfortunately hotel charges $75 per night not per stay as other Hilton properties. Other than that, we will definitely return next time.

The waterslides / pool area and location really is what saves this place. My kids were in heaven there. The walls are thin, so we could hear everything, especially the loud planes flying overhead from the airport nearby. Thankfully, we already travel with a white noise machine. I don't know how we would have slept otherwise. So definitely consider bringing one. The staff here really needs some lessons in hospitality. Most of the staff we encountered were unfriendly, rude, and acted like guests were an inconvenience to them. (Except Mike; he was awesome.) Rooms were clean and nice. Loved having the option for 2 king sized beds. We slept way better with that than the usual 2 queen bed setup in the room. Also really liked having a kitchenette with mini fridge and microwave so we saved money by having snacks/light lunch in the room. Even though I booked our rooms on points and have Gold status, I was charged a $150 resort fee per room (I had 2 rooms booked) and $15 per day parking was only waived for 1 room. It ended up being pricier than I anticipated with all of the fees. We did the breakfast buffet over at the Double Tree on our last day, which was $22 per person, and it was way better than I expected (the grits were SO good). Overall: good, not great. The grumpy staff is really what brings this place down. A simple smile at check-in / check-out would go a long way. Otherwise, we had a good time here.

We really had a wonderful time. Great staff the beds and the pillows were comfortable amazing bedroom, ocean views, and don’t forget the incredible complementary cookies they give you.!!! They went over and beyond for me and my little man.

Beautiful Resort with fun activities, great food, and a fun waterpark! There is also an on-site miniature golf course, 2 restaurants, and you get access to the Springmaid Pier. Walking on the pier is free for guests, but you have to pay to fish (very inexpensive).

Everyone was friendly and kind, the Energy was positive, food was grand and view was perfect. This place goes forever, grounds were kept, Adult pool was relaxing, pier was fantastic, sharks to see and they were catching fish I have never seen, I will be back....
