Hoppy Memories from a Wonderful Easter Weekend
We had such a fantastic time celebrating Easter with all of you here at Avista Resort! With sunny skies and perfect spring weather, it was the ideal setting for a fun-filled holiday weekend. It was a joy to see so many families enjoying time together and creating fun spring memories.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Easter Brunch—your kind words and happy faces made it a true highlight of the season! Our culinary team loved seeing guests enjoy the delicious springtime spread they prepared with care.
And of course, the Easter Bunny had a blast delivering personalized Easter baskets and spreading smiles all around the resort. Thank you for making this holiday so special—we can't wait to do it again next year!
Springtime Buzz with Group Sales
It’s been a busy and exciting spring for our MBSR Group Sales team, with a wonderful mix of familiar faces and new groups! We’ve had the pleasure of welcoming back repeat groups like Fastpitch Dreams Softball, the College Softball Spring Training Event, and the Grand Strand Softball Classic for high school teams. It’s always a joy to host these sports teams and see them enjoy their time here at Avista Resort.
We’ve also been lucky to have guests from across the border, with four motorcoach groups traveling from Canada. The energy they bring to the resort is unmatched, and we love hosting these long-distance visitors!
Looking ahead to the summer, we’re gearing up for a fantastic lineup of corporate events, including the Appalachian Lumbermen and the exciting Travel Alliance Partners (TAP) 2025 Conference—a first for us! TAP will bring in destinations from across the US and Canada giving us a wonderful opportunity to showcase all that Avista Resort has to offer.


Experience the Best of Live Entertainment on the Grand Strand
A Fun-Filled Afternoon on the Water with the Barefoot Queen
Our MBSR marketing team recently had the pleasure of an unforgettable trip aboard the Barefoot Queen, and they couldn’t be more thankful for the experience! From the moment we boarded, the atmosphere was electric—thanks to live music, stunning views, and the welcoming energy of the crew. The friendly staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt right at home, adding to the fun and relaxed vibe of the lunch.
We are truly grateful to have been granted this amazing opportunity to have them enjoy the Grand Strand from the water while bonding as a team. A huge thank you to the Barefoot Queen for providing such a memorable experience—we can’t wait to do it again!


Avista is our happy place and of all the resorts we stay at, by far our favorite! The staff is always so friendly and the food and drinks are always amazing! Thank you for another great experience!

Our check in was went exceptionally well because of Coach who greeted us, as he always does, and offered to hold our luggage until our room was ready. It made things much easier for us and we truly appreciated his help
