Daytona Beach Resort

“Parking problems polluted our experience...”

Several things were very right about this resort: price; location, near bars, restaurants, attractions, and shopping; and the floor plan, which made this one-bedroom condo very convenient to accommodate three people.

Several things were very right about this resort: price; location, near bars, restaurants, attractions, and shopping; and the floor plan, which made this one-bedroom condo very convenient to accommodate three people. The kitchen was well outfitted. No dishwasher, but there was not enough space for one. Oddly, there was no wastebasket, so we hung a trash bag under the sink. The bathroom had plenty of towels and toiletries. Both the indoor and the outdoor pools were under repair from Hurricane Ian damages, as are the pools in most of the hotels on Daytona Beach. It was too cold to swim anyway, so it was not important. The one issue which would make me think twice about staying here again was the parking. There was a huge attached parking garage, which was gated and locked so there was no access. Parking near the entrance was very limited, with many spaces marked "no parking." My friend's car was towed from the property, resulting in a disruption of our activities and a stiff $222 fee. There had been no one to talk to about the parking when we arrived, often no one at the desk. Some clear instructions or advice at the outset would have prevented this from happening, and a call to my friend to advise her that her car was about to be towed would have been appropriate and appreciated. The towing incident cast a pall over our otherwise enjoyable stay.

“Bring your sense of humor!”

Went down here for a race weekend! Well the rooms are nice but the rest of the place should be condemned. No pool or restaurant or anything extra to speak of. The elevators are use at your own risk.

Went down here for a race weekend! Well the rooms are nice but the rest of the place should be condemned. No pool or restaurant or anything extra to speak of. The elevators are use at your own risk. They told me beach access was through a wooden door which is actually a glass door with wood where it is broken. If you just need a room it’s fine but no way I would vacation in Daytona to begin with but if you don’t expect much for not paying much you’ll be fine. But if you’re up for adventure call Roberts Taxi service. The front desk people are great and they can get you in touch with him. He’ll take you anywhere you wanna go and you’ll have a good time getting there. Sometimes it’s just about having a good time. Daytona Beach is not a family vacation destination!

“DBR Daytona Beach Resort ~ Wedding Anniversary”

We are here for our 28th Wedding Anniversary. I gave it a three just because the room we stayed in is gorgeous! The views from our room are panoramic, so we were able to see the beach and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Other than that, the property is super run down. No pool, in fact the pool is … more

We are here for our 28th Wedding Anniversary. I gave it a three just because the room we stayed in is gorgeous! The views from our room are panoramic, so we were able to see the beach and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. Other than that, the property is super run down. No pool, in fact the pool is a danger zone. All of them. They’re filled with debris and green, moldy water. Looking at the property from the beach is super embarrassing. Nothing has been repaired. Or even started to be repaired. The indoor pool is closed. No gym. No bar, no parking garage.. They’re all closed! In fact, we had to park across the street, behind other businesses. The area is super sketchy. Sadly, not a place that we will ever return. I get it’s a tourist area where we stayed, but the city really could put some money into growing this place back to be a great destination, not only for Spring Breakers, but families, couples, retirees…etc.
