“I’m excited to join The Ellie Beach Resort and DoubleTree Resort Myrtle Beach and help create events and activities that bring families together and turn vacations into lasting memories,” said Bowers. “Whether it’s a child’s first surfing lesson, a wellness activity by the ocean or a family event that becomes a new tradition, I look forward to developing programming that encourages guests to connect while enjoying their stays at the resorts.”
