Welcome!

And indeed it is a WELCOME! It is official - Towers on the Grove is now open!

This month, we welcomed guests through our doors, extending a hearty greeting to everyone who stayed with us. We want to thank everyone with these early bookings, plus those who have booked reservations for the remainder of 2008 and on into the next year. For those with winter stays, we recognize that one of Towers’ key features is its outdoor water amenities; we hope you will come back to enjoy these in the summer months. In the meantime, we offer you a smoke-free property, plus a host of amenities for your pleasure.

With the lobby located on the 3rd floor, Towers' guests can check in conveniently. The entirely non-smoking facility is ready to pamper its guests with a fully operational Fitness Center and many other amenities such as fabulous views, up-scale interior design and accessories, comfortable living, proximity to shops, restaurants, golf, and grocery. At this time, all building construction has been completed with some remaining interior work being concluded such as the arrival of some furniture pieces, drapes, and comforters. Our beautiful lobby furniture is in, and finishing touches are being completed around the property. While the onsite café and lounge are not yet complete, we have an arrangement with nearby Atlantis Pancake House to provide breakfast service to our golfers and others with the breakfast package.

We look forward to seeing you at the newest resort in Cherry Grove!

Your friends at Towers on the Grove!

Spending Christmas at Towers on the Grove

The number of bookings is increasing from guests who will want to spend the Christmas holidays at the beach in Cherry Grove's newest luxury resort. The reservations team is hearing guests say that they want something special this year, something different, and certainly a stay by the ocean has a soothing, relaxing effect.

Some guests are even booking reservations to enjoy New Year's Eve at one or more of the local parties nearby or in town, then come the short distance back to Towers where they can ring in the new year with a special event all their own or share the beach with the midnight revelers who like to see the night's sky at the stroke of midnight.

Spending New Year's at Towers on the Grove

If you are looking for a really special way to spend New Year's Eve, may we suggest a stay this year at the brand new Towers where you can ring in 2009 at Avista or Prince. Both of these resorts are our sister properties, and they are planning plenty of elaborate evening events with delicious hors d'oeuvres, delectable dinners, lively live music, plenty of fun and laughter, plus a mid-night champagne toast. Ask us for details or see more information about Avista Resort's party by clicking here and also information about Prince's party by clicking here.

Then, with the fading days of December, just check into one of Towers’ ultra-extravagant yet exceedingly affordable condos. Put on your favorite party clothes and go the short distance to Prince or Avista Resorts (conveniently located right here in North Myrtle Beach). Enjoy merry-making, perhaps party-hop to other festivities around town, then at your leisure return to Towers, perhaps to stroll the beach at dawn or retire for the evening in a comfortable Towers bed. What a way to launch 2009!

One sign of early success is guests' interest in staying at a new resort, and certainly Towers has had that experience. Even before its official opening day, eager guests booked reservations to stay here.

With a bit of a track record now, we proudly report that Towers on the Grove is exciting and delighting guests with its magnificent décor, great customer service, and location right at the beach. Here are a few of the comments that we are receiving:

We loved everything about our 3-night stay from November 4 - 7, 2008, at this brand-new and beautiful oceanfront resort! Our 2 BR suite was very upscale and beautifully furnished. Our balcony spanned the width of the MBR and LR - very spacious. Service was impeccable, from General Manager to Front Desk Agents to Maintenance personnel. All hallways are interior, carpeted - a very safe and secure feeling. We give it 5 stars and 110% satisfaction! We know the Cherry Grove/North Myrtle Beach area very well - almost 50 years of beach visits there. It is the best beach and "Towers on the Grove" is the best resort! Can't wait to return...

We walked in off the street to find a very beautiful hotel to relax and look at the picture perfect views of Cherry Grove Beach. Good location, quiet, but not too far from anything. Love, love the rooms and the pictures in the hallways. Very clean and friendly housekeeping staff. We will be back and tell all our friends!

Thank you for taking such good care of us. We'll see you in 2009! Direct comment to Front Desk from guests "Margaret and Tony," November, 2008

We loved our stay at your beautiful new property and look forward to returning in the spring, if not earlier. Direct comment to Front Desk from guests "Elfi and Bill" from Concord, NC, November, 2008

Fun Facts

Towers on the Grove was designed to include many points of interest for guests to enjoy. Here are just a few:

• The new public park located to the north side of Towers has permanent game tables. By selecting colorful shells of specific shapes, players can launch a game of checkers, chess, or any other board game of choice.
• The park also has swing-benches with canopies. With the location right at the edge of the beach, a little afternoon nap with the gentle breezes wafting overhead sounds like one use for the area.
• Handicap-accessible parking spaces are located at the park.
• A handicap-accessible dune-crossover walkway is also available for guests to approach the beach.
• The pool for guests at the Towers has a gated entryway from the park to the pool so that guests can enjoy both places.
• The pool area includes many amenities that both adults and children will enjoy including a lazy river, a jungle theme with animals to play on and slides to swoosh down into the water.
• Many of the condominiums at Towers have beautiful tiled back-splashes in the kitchen, leather seating in the living rooms, and a host of other amenities to inspire guests to feel pampered and very comfortable.
