Daytona Beach Regency

We were here for a week in Jan 2009. This is now a Diamond Resort and they have been renovating/upgrading. They were not quite done in January, but the place was very nice. The kingsize bed was very comfortable. Large bathroom. Well stocked kitchen. We were on the north side of the building. While we had a nice ocean view, our immediate view was a dilapadated, empty former motel/resort. I know the DBR can't do anything about the neighboring property, but it is pretty ugly. Free parking in garage under resort. Inside and outside pool and hot tub. Decent exercise/workout room. Ten minute walk to the Ocean Walk complex with Bubba Gump's restaurant and a 10 screen movie theatre. The beach is the best in Daytona because the cars are not permitted to drive in this section. This makes it great for families with children. Very friendly staff. Tike Restaurant by pool on property had some pretty good food at reasonable prices. Only complaint was that WiFi internet was supposed to be available in the units but I was not able to log on all week. Free WiFi in the lobby was great.

On a great stretch of Daytona Beach in the no-drive zone but near enough to the drive zone walk on the beach to rent bikes, quad runners, etc. The Oceanwalk building next door is very close and may limit oceanview on the north side of the building but not entirely. Pool area/hot tub great. Scheduled activities enjoyable. Units are a little tight on size but cover the basics. Grocery store about 5-10 mins drive.

AWESOME RESORT - GREAT LOCATION - FRIENDLY - POOLSIDE ENTERTAINMENT, DAY & NIGHT. OCEAN WALK (NEXT DOOR), EAT YOUR HEART OUT!! JUST CAME BACK LAST SATURDAY & I MISS IT ALREADY. WALK TO THE BOARDWALK, SHOPS, MOVIES.. OR JUST RELAX TO GUITAR BY THE POOL. FANTASTIC!!

I stayed here July of 2006. I loved it. The resort has a locked gate separating the beach from their outdoor pool and hot tub. This keeps the pool and amenities for the use of the guests only. They have a decent outdoor slide for the kids in the pool. There is a food and drink pavilion next to the pool where the drinks and food are good and priced reasonably. The hotel gives you daily thick towels for the beach and pool usage. The beach is in awesome shape and one plus is that the beach in front of the resort is closed to traffic. Most other parts of Daytona Beach allow cars to drive on the beach. Because of this, the beach in front of the hotel is not very crowded. There are lounge chairs and huge umbrellas available on the beach for daily rental. Parasailing is available only about 500 feet away from the beach entry. There is an excellent diner across the street and I-Hop also. For better dining head to the pier only about 1/2 mile away, easy walk. A 12 theater movie house is also located by the pier. I had such a great time that I am going next year.

I have stayed here twice, both times during spring break. Great views from the room--nice balcony and wonderful sound of the surf. This is right on the beach ad the pool overlooks the ocean. Facility is right next to a mall, with movie theatres, good restaurants, etc. Also, just a couple blocks from the pier and arcade area. Wonderful wide beach--where speed trials used to be held. You can rent a ATV to drive on part of the beach--great beach activity on the weekend, nice and quiet during the week.
