We're so excited to share that Avista Resort has been named a 2026 Tripadvisor Traveler's Choice Award winner, placing us among the top 10% of properties worldwide on the platform. This marks our third time receiving this honor, having also won in 2023 and 2025, and we've now held the title of #1 Resort in North Myrtle Beach on Tripadvisor for more than six consecutive years.
This recognition is built entirely on authentic, first-hand reviews left by our guests over the past 12 months, and that means more to us than any other kind of award could. It's your voice, not ours.
When we read through our reviews, the same themes come up again and again. Guests tell us how clean we keep the resort, from the lobby to every guest room, how much our staff goes out of their way to make stays feel personal, and how that combination keeps families and couples coming back year after year. One recent guest called out our housekeeping team's attention to detail, while another shared how our front desk staff turned a routine check-in into the highlight of their arrival.
"We are honored to be included among travelers' favorites for the third time, and to have held the #1 ranking in North Myrtle Beach for six years running," said Jim Eggen, General Manager for Avista Resort. "That consistency is a direct reflection of our team, from housekeeping to guest services to our activities staff, who show up every day determined to make each guest's stay better than the last."
As Tripadvisor's Chief Marketing Officer Matt Dacey put it, landing among the top percentage of businesses globally means a property has made a lasting impression, one substantial enough that guests felt compelled to write about it. We couldn't agree more.
Thank you to every guest who's taken the time to leave us a review, and to our entire team for continuing to make Avista Resort one of North Myrtle Beach's most trusted oceanfront destinations.
