WARNING!!! I don’t know who would rate the Islander a 5 other than their marketing company. Here is the truth. We are a local family. We live in Orlando and frequent Daytona Beach. We stayed at the Islander on March 28th and 29th 2008 after the so called (renovation?). I thought I got a good deal on the Internet $... more

These rooms are outdated to say the least. I had an oceanfront with a mini kitchen but had to jockey for it. Make sure if you want a oceanfront that's exactly what's booked. Can't tell you the number of people who thought they were getting oceanfront but instead ended up with peekaboo views from the side. Be very careful in... more

My husband was staying at The Islander for business and I decided to drive up and visit him for the weekend. I wasn't expecting much as his company isn't known for shelling out a lot of money for hotels. I went up Thanksgiving weekend and definately picked the wrong weekend for a visit. It was the Pop Warner Football Championships... more

My experience at the Islander was terrible, as far as the housekeeping. My son football team and I stayed for a whole week, we enjoyed the stay but housekeeping did not want to clean our rooms, they barely left towels, and if we complained to front desk there wasn't anything they could or would even try to do to satisfy... more

My wife and I wanted to get out of Orlando for the weekend. We found the Islander Resort in Daytona and found ourselves pleasantly surprised. The hotel looks like it was built in the 70's, but it was clean and the staff were most pleasant. I especially appreciate the desk. We were looking for a good restaurant and they took... more

Long has gone the day of Daytona, when it was filled with happy smiling beach goers as was in the 80's. We arrived in Daytona, the area was dingy, gloomy and run down. Bars on windows, store fronts closed, and the lingering of a town that has been used, abused and left to to its own demise. With that we... more

The rate we paid for this hotel was low, which made me a bit nervous. However, the pool was fantastic, the beach access perfect, the room was clean, and the staff was friendly. The Islander is ideal for a budget-friendly venue. more

My husband and I traveled to the Daytona Beach area in early November for a trade show at the Ocean Walk Convention Center, but thought it would be nice to stay away from Downtown. Due to budget constraints, I had extensively researched TripAdvisor and settled on the Islander Beach Resort in New Smyrna Beach, a 20 minute drive south of... more

After reading other reviews AFTER I booked the hotel, I was nervous. I hav been in some bad hotel/motels along the Florida coast. Going in, I new it was not the Hilton. It was a beach side motel/hotel. Usually you can expect an older establishment, older/cheap floors, furniture and less than spa resort accomodations. The beach location was about 4... more
