Sheraton Broadway Plantation Questions

[Big Matt]

I've read all the reviews, but have some questions that are fairly specific. If anyone can answer them, that would be great. To preface, my group will include myself, wife, and sons (14 and 11).

1) How far is it from the beach, and are there public parking areas nearby?
2) Does this place still have smoking units? Are all smoking?
3) Are the pools heated? We'll be going in April and it will still be pretty cool
4) I know it's near Broadway at the Beach. How many days/hours can someone reasonably spend there.

Thanks in advance.

1) It is about 1 mile (maybe slightly more) to the beach. There will be plenty of parking available in April.

I am unsure about #2 and 3, but a quick call to the resort should answer them quickly.

4) If you enjoy shopping and wandering through the shops, I would be prepared to spend a full day there. It's close enough that you could break it up into 2 half days.

I would also be sure to check out the new Hard Rock theme park. It is 5-10 minute ride from Sheraton. I'm pretty sure they will be open on the weekends by April. Every night they have a fireworks show set to music just before closing. My family though it was awesome.

The Sheraton is a very nice resort, and Myrtle is a great family area.
