Taxis and rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) are the most direct public options and drop you at the hotel entrance. Expect a one-way fare commonly reported around $20–$40; actual prices vary with time of day and demand.
- No hotel shuttle from MYR to the resort — plan a taxi, rideshare, or private transfer.
- Ask the driver to drop you at the main resort entrance at 8400 Costa Verda Dr.
- If you have large luggage or beach gear, consider requesting a larger vehicle in the app or with the taxi dispatcher.

- Self-parking and valet are available for a surcharge (rates differ by source; ask on arrival).

Private transfers and pre-booked vehicles
A private car or limo transfer from MYR is a convenient door-to-door option, especially for groups, early-morning arrivals, or when you have a lot of luggage. Private transfers typically meet you at the airport curb or arrivals area.
Because the hotel does not provide a shuttle, pre-booking a private transfer gives an arrival contact and a set price. Confirm the driver’s arrival point with the airport’s current pickup rules and the transfer company before travel.
- Book a transfer that includes a phone number and driver meet instructions.
- For groups, reserve a vehicle with sufficient passenger and luggage capacity.
- Keep the resort address and phone handy for the driver: 8400 Costa Verda Dr; +1 (888) 605-1350.
| When to choose this | Good for |
|---|---|
| Fixed price and meet-and-greet service | Families, groups, large luggage |
| Early or late flights | Arrivals outside typical taxi/rideshare availability |
| Special needs or accessible vehicles | Guests needing pre-arranged accessible transport |
Public transit, buses and other options
The resort notes nearby bus and coach stations in the Myrtle Beach area, but it does not operate an airport shuttle. Greyhound and local bus services serve Myrtle Beach generally; they are not the typical choice for an arrival directly from MYR to the resort.
If you plan to use intercity bus services or coach lines, check schedules and final stop locations in Myrtle Beach and arrange a short taxi or rideshare for the final mile to 8400 Costa Verda Dr.
- Greyhound and local bus stations are listed as nearby options in the area, but expect an extra ground transfer to reach the resort.
- Public transit may take significantly longer than a direct taxi or rideshare.
- Confirm bus drop-off points and times before booking to avoid long waits or extra transfers.
| Service type | Practicality for airport arrival |
|---|---|
| Local/regional bus | Possible, but usually requires a taxi/rideshare from the bus stop |
| Intercity coach (Greyhound) | Serves Myrtle Beach area; not a direct airport-to-resort link |
| Taxi / Rideshare | Fastest direct public option from MYR |
Arrival tips and accessibility considerations
The resort is wheelchair accessible throughout and offers accessible parking and accessible guest rooms; if you need any specific accessibility accommodation on arrival, contact the resort ahead of time or mention it to your driver.
