Catch some sun in Myrtle Beach at a festive oceanfront resort where current rates have dropped by 40%.

Stay in an oceanfront room at the Hotel Blue Sundays-Thursdays through Dec. 30 for $39 per night. Weekends throughout are $5-$10 more per night.

Guests also receive one free game of bowling per day at the nearby Captain's Quarters resort.

Hotel Blue is a one-stop destination where the beach is just the beginning. Make a splash at the on-site water park or take a dip in the indoor and outdoor pools, lazy rivers, hot tubs or whirlpool.

The hotel is three blocks from the Family Kingdom Amusement Park and a 10-minute drive from the shops at The Market Common. As an added perk, the hotel is offering one free pass to nearby WonderWorks with the purchase of an additional adult pass (a $22 value).
