Hotels near Daytona Lagoon, Daytona Beach

Stopped in for a drink and to watch the game and had an amazing experience with the AMAZING bartender Nikki! She crafted amazing drinks and was personable, charismatic and fun to interact with. Atmosphere was good. Drinks and food were great. Music was good too. Would recommend!

We ended up at the Daytona Grande after the Hilton Oceanfront overbooked and we were on our way with no place to stay! Admittedly not the safest, but I had to book this place while driving from the Orlando airport and just looking for something that wasn’t a total dive but still decently priced without a ton of extra fees. No free breakfast here which is something I especially appreciate as a family of 6, but in this case it was just me and my teenage son in town for an archery championship. After the highly stressful day of travel we had, the Grande was like a little slice of Heaven! It was clean, quiet, and beautiful. We decided after having to skip lunch with flight delays and all that, we just wanted a good meal and a good bed and we got exactly that. My son and I split truffle fries to start, the crusted crab filet, and beignets for dessert. All were wonderful (and we’re from Dallas where there is no shortage of excellent food) and enjoyed Oceanside on the dimly lit quiet patio. My only criticism is that the tables should be turned perpendicularly to the ocean and hotel so that everyone at the table gets a view of both rather than one facing a wall while the other faces the ocean. Rooms were nicely decorated, had comfortable, intuitive lighting, handy USB plugs, and most importantly REALLY COMFORTABLE BEDS! We have a Tempurpedic at home so my sleep is usually pretty abysmal at hotels. Now, this wasn’t as comfy as home, but I slept hard and woke without being sore since the bed was genuinely comfortable. My only complaints about the room were that the window sheers, while stylish, really gave no privacy at all, so if you wanted privacy you had to sacrifice light. Water pressure wasn’t great and the bathroom needed more towel bars and hooks. This would’ve been way more of a nuisance with the whole family, but they also came midday and restocked towels and made up the beds, which we see less and less of these days, even at nice hotels in the name of being “green”. But it was spacious and clean and otherwise nicely equipped. Elevators were fast and never held us up. Beach access from the elevator was nice as we didn’t have to walk through the lobby in swimsuits. Parking was slightly inconvenient being caddy corner across the street, but not bad at all. We considered but didn’t try room service mainly due to price and unknown wait (when we had tournament times to consider) but the little shop/cafe in the lobby was great and convenient and priced about as you’d expect (pricey, but not too ridiculous). We got coffee and breakfast sandwiches both days. I think the biggest issue with this place is the visibility. It’s tall to be sure so you’re not going to miss it, but the entrance and signage is on the far side and behind a little aqua building (I think called Sand Dunes) which had to be apartments or a teeny hotel that I can only assume refused to sell to the Grande in development so the Grande built around it. It keeps it from having the opulent entrance that the Hilton does

The hotel is in an excellent location. Because it is a hard rock, the price is much higher than that of surrounding hotels. I happened to stay on the weekend, and the price of a double bed balcony room with taxes and resort fees was nearly 4,000 per night. The best thing is that the beautiful scenery is unparalleled. When you open the window, you can see the vast Atlantic Ocean. When you open the curtains, you are facing the sunrise. Especially in August, the sunrise in Orlando does not rise until 7 o'clock. There is no need to get up early. It’s extremely relaxing to watch the sunrise while stretching!

This property is very nice, and the location-INCREDIBLE! It was right on the beach and the view from my room was breathtaking! The staff was very courteous and attentive. The manager, Pat, was very kind and friendly. She made sure I had everything and more that I needed while on my stay. She suggested things to do and places to go. My room was very comfortable and clean. I highly recommend staying here!

The higher floor was great. The view is beautiful patio was comfortable. The room was very quiet even though it was near the elevator there was no problem at all. The beds were comfortable the pillows were very soft but not my style however they were great the Jacuzzi has no jets working. Justin at the front desk said That since the water was hot it was half working. I overall had a great time and I would stay here again it’s right on the beach and it has a good pool a nice Children swim area separate from the pool with the fence and the parking was free. All the staff were very nice overall

Not bad, very pretty Facilities: a bit old Health: quite clean Environment: Nice. There is a big window where you can watch the sunrise in the room. Service: The communication is not very clear, overall it’s okay^_^ The hotel's heated swimming pool and hot spring are nice and comfortable

Booked reservation well in advance prior to Hurricane Helene and made a special request to be placed on top floor (8th), due to having bad PTSD and loud noises from above will cause triggering seizures. Reservations advised they would notate the reservation and that the request was very reasonable and should not be any issue to be met, Especially since this was due to a medical request. In addition, as requested through reservations, I even did my due diligence to call the Hotel direct the day before checking into this property to assure that I would be assigned a room on the upper floor, and explained that there should be notes on the reservation stating the reason for the request and Again, I was assured that it could be met. Using the digital app to check in early the morning of the day of check-in, I received notification through the app that my room was ready at 12:07 pm and I clicked on the digital key, and it showed me the room number I was assigned to which was on the seventh floor. I then contacted the hotel direct in route to the property to inquire to why I was not on the eighth floor. The general manager is who answered the phone and was very rude and advised that there were no rooms available on the eighth floor, therefore I was placed on the seventh floor. I then advised her that I had a special needs request and was assured that it could be met and explain my reasoning for the request which she never made any apologies whatsoever that the request could not be granted. After driving 12 hours and arriving to the property around 5:30 PM that evening, and I went to click on the digital key for the room number on the 7th floor, it had been changed to the fifth floor. I inquired again to the hotel to ask why the room number had yet changed again, even though I had already checked in early and been assigned a room number and the key. I again was greeted with attitude and was advised that the emergency workers that was in the area decided to extend their stay and the room on the seventh floor was no longer available. When I inquired to how that could be possible to be assigned, not only the room number, but the key to the room if someone was still occupying it, there was no explanation provided. And in addition to all of the above, I was double charged for my stay, and when I contacted the hotel again regarding, and spoke to the same general manager, I was advised to dispute it with my credit card company and told that they knew that they had a glitch in their system and they did not know when it could be fixed! Since this trip was for my government job, I have notified my government agency of the treatment that I received from this property and it’s Manager and recommend that this property be removed from our listing for our government employees to stay while in this area.

Breakfast is charged separately, and tax is about $ 23 for two people. There is free parking. Can bring children. The twin rooms are two 1.2-meter beds. The hotel is right next to the International Circuit, with convenient transportation and shopping plaza across the road.

We stayed one night and have stayed here before. Pros: Checkin, Checkout and breakfast-all good. Room quiet, everything worked, comfortable. Cons: We found a live roach in the morning on the chest of drawers. We got a call from the front desk manager at 1 am waking us up. He asked: ”Do you have any animals in the room? I said No. He almost acted like he didnt quite believe us but said ”sorry for calling so late”. REALLY? Honestly, I have been traveling for 30+ years and have never had this happen. Here's what you do: You get off your a$$ and walk the floors until you hear the noisy animals and you knock on the door or call the room. You dont start calling people's rooms. We heard nothing so I cant imagine where the noisy animals were. Pretty much ruined our stay and our sleep.
