Value for the money.. one elevator is okay but it takes forever. We usually just use the stairs. There are some litters in the lobby esp in the ground floor

This place looked very small until you got into the room. It was Hugh and very clean. The pool was perfect size and met a couple people there really nice. The only thing I didn't like was that you had to call a number and wait for them to come and let you in. They own another place that they attend to. So the wait was bad. But they were very nice. Well worth it. I would stay there again for sure.

The property is very relaxed, and while the building is older and dated to some extent, the staff were kind and always happy to help. The area around the hotel is not a very high class area with a nearby strip club and lots of foot traffic. But no one bothered me. The elevator is a hot mess and stops on random floors along the way to your destination, but it will get you there. The pool was nice and while I did not enter it, there were people using it always and it did seem clean. Everything in my room worked correctly and bed was comfortable. Its not the fanciest place that's ever been, but I would not be afraid to stay there again. Thank you El Caribe!

You get what you pay for. The property is on the older side, typical for Daytona area. Lots of families were there. I dont typically stay this far South, a bit of a drive to Publix or Dunkin. Winn Dixie across the street had a lot of options for quick beacside meals.

Staff were very accommodating and fantastic to deal with. Hotel needs building and property maintenance as its showing its age. Right on the beach and great views especially the sunrise. Bring coffee filters if you plan on making coffee in the room. There is a breakfast downstairs but its pretty basic, bagels, cereal, oranges, prepackaed breakfast sandwiches.

Great beach view
View of beach was perfect. Was able to watch sunrise from my balcony while drinking my coffee. Thankfully I am an early person because workers began repairs at 8am using heavy equipment. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. We arrived late at night and they were several people milling around as well as a homeless person sleeping between parked cars.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view was the only redeeming quality. First had to have maintenance show how to open rusted door To close must swipe key card and jerk handle and slam door. AC thermostat did not work well, Had it adjusted twice and still did not work We talked to a guest who had the same problems even after changing rooms twice. So room change not an option Construction of seawall went on below us was noisy. A leak in bathtub caused water to puddle inside entry. My husband found cause of leak was a hole where the hand hold in tub should be. He felt wallboard was soft and separating from floor board.; So it has been leaking for awhile. We reported all to front desk. Because of stress we cut our trip short . Instead of 3 days we stayed 1 day

So close to the beach! Great view! Very comfortable beds! The room is well equipped with refrigerator and it works! Microwave, coffee maker, tables and chairs. Big window for great view of the beach. Wide balcony with chairs and side table where we sat for morning coffee. Continental breakfast is free from 6:30 to 9. Awesome friendly staff. The building is old so it’s not a five star but with the price and amenities, it was awesome for us!

The hotel was right on the beach. I paid for an ocean front room but half of my view was of a building to my right. A manager is not there in the evening so our first night was in an ocean view room. The front desk clerk said I had to wait for the manager in the morning. She called me and I told her that it was ocean view not ocean front. She said a lot of people said that. You would think that would give them a clue. The manager never offered anything like reducing my bill for the first night to ocean This resort has no restaurant or gift shop You can tell it is old. There were rust spots and peeling paint. Almost every door was heavy and hard to open which is a hazard in the event of an emergency.
