Recent reviews: Last time we visited the Sands Resorts they were starting to show signs of aging. Seems not a lot has been done to slow the process. Then this time reviews are only slightly above the norm for Myrtle Beach. The Lazy river is continuing its flow and there is some heating in the pools. Seems if you come expecting a budget family resort with not too many frills then you won't go home disappointed.

All Inclusive Myrtle Beach Vacation Packages

We didn't include any all-inclusive Myrtle Beach family resorts in this review as that would have been a bit disingenuous given the lack of any. I would really encourage anyone with a passport to head to Mexico or the Caribbean all-inclusive family resorts instead (unless you really want to avoid a flight). 

There are not any Sandals resorts in Myrtle Beach and you will need to look at our Caribbean Resort Reviews to find those, although we do have a round up of the best Sandals resorts in Florida (which act as alternatives for those looking for such a thing). 

Both Expedia and Travelocity all-inclusive vacation options offer a few resorts for all-inclusive packages to Myrtle Beach. 

You might also like to check out our last minute All Inclusive deals for options.

We did not include any all-inclusive honeymoon resorts in our Myrtle Beach review because we don't think they were up to the standard (and inclusiveness) of other destinations.
