Grand Seas Resort

My family has enjoyed this resort for the last two years with a limited floating week with split 2 bedrooms. The staff has always gone out their way to accomodate our reservations, some with changes at the last minute...in the summer no less.

It is a beach property and like most other beach locations sometimes shows the effects of the salt and of heavy use. DUH! Someone would want to stay where no one else wants to stay??!!

We really are glad to be owners and look forward to our next visit as we split the week again this year.

I ENJOY THIS RESORT EVERY YEAR! IT'S A LARGE RESORT WITH LOTS OF FAMILIES PLAYING IN THE OCEAN, 3 POOLS, SLIDES, PLAY AREAS FOR THE KIDS SO THE HALLS ARE OPEN AIR DUE TO THE WATER, SALT AND SAND! I HAVE THE BEST TIME HERE WITH FRIENDS THAT I HAVE MET FROM ALL OVER WHO COME YEAR AFTER YEAR! GREAT LOCATION AWAY FROM THE BUSY PART OF ! LARGE BEACH AREA WITH CARS DRIVING SLOW NOT AS MANY AS IN MAIN DAYTONA! YOU CAN WALK TO SHOPS, RESTURANTS AND BARS! LOT'S OF ACTIVITIES AND GREAT HUGE POOL DECK! ROOMS ARE LARGE WITH PLENTY OF ROOM FOR COOKING UP A MEAL IN THE KITCHEN AND THEN LOOKING OUT OVER THE OCEAN FROM THE CEILING TO FLOOR GLASS WINDOWS IN THE LIVING ROOM AND MASTER BEDROOM! GREAT FOR COUPLES AND SINGLES TOO!

Yes, holidays are hectic at a large resort, duh! Bottom line is this resort has 800 feet of beachfront, a gourmet Italian restaurant, a breakfast buffet, sandwich shop and bar, poolside tiki bar, 2 huge outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool, outdoor and indoor jacuzzis, awesome tropical mini golf, childrens playground, mini mart, game room, workout room, walk across the street to more restaurants, Publix and more.

I own a fixed Race Week 6, have visited twice and rented out once, never a problem, staff was friendly and everything was clean except during the rennovation. It's a great resort with lots to do whether it's rain, shine, hot or cold, and convenient location to Race and Bike Week events. By the way, 5 star ratings are unique in Daytona since most resorts don't offer as many amenities as this one. And yes, parking is an issue at ANY resort on the beach!

NO BALCONIES. Great ocean view and would be nicer if you could sit outside. Rooms are average. Hallways are all outside and dirty and gloomy. The Elevators are slow and dirty and sound like they could quit at any time.

The entrance and exit is a total mess. You have to exit the one way entrance and if there are any vehicles other than you, you are in trouble. Had a line of 4 cars trying to get in and 3 trying to get out and tempers were hot because no one at desk or security would help clear up the mess.

Had several problems with phone and a very loud air conditioner, but maintenance was very fast to fix them.

I don't think we will go back.
