My husband and I was please to go last year for the first time at the Royal Holiday we found courtesy and nice services with a smile enjoy the pool and the balcony with the ocean view. Good atmosphere, The Joncas family are great and make you feel home away from home. We love so much the place we went back this year and already reserve for the next one.

My husband and I have been going to Royal Holiday many years now. This is our "get away"
place where we can drive a short distance, and forget about everything. What a great place to walk the beach, enjoy the pool or set on the balcony and watch the surfers. The Joncas family are great and certainly make you feel welcome, the rooms are immaculate. You couldn't ask for a better place to go and forget the hussel and bussel of our crazy everyday lives.

I grew motel up in Daytona Beach Shores and am totally familiar with the area. The Royal Holiday Beach Motel is one of the few remaining small, family owned, beachfront motels left amidst a sea of 16-story highrises. If you like a little quieter place with an absolutely wonderful oceanfront location just a few minutes walk on the beach to the Sunglow pier with its great Crabby Joe's restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner and a few minutes drive to the beautiful 1887 Ponce Inlet lighthouse and museum, then the RHB motel should be your first choice. My wife and I stayed in the oceanfront efficiency and having the full kitchen meant that we did not have to eat out every meal--more time to walk on the beach or ride the waves. The owners, Marilyn, Pierre and Chris love the beach as much as we do and put there hearts into making you feel at home. The pool and patio area is immaculate, there is wifi for those like me who have to stay connected and a workout room to burn off those extra calories from the key lime pie! If you've never been to Daytona Beach, you should go. At low tide the beach looks a mile wide. The sand is white, and the beach is very flat and wide enough for cars to drive on without any inconvenience to beach-walkers, but this area is near the sea turtle preserve where driving is banned, so there isn't much traffic. We always visit the superb Ponce Inlet lighthouse when we are here and it is well worth the trip. Built of red brick in 1887, the lighthouse, which is on the National Registry, is 175 feet tall and still in active service. The best part is that you can go inside and walk up the 203 steps of the spiral staircase to the cupola on top where you can get a stupendous 360 degree view of the inlet, the Atlantic Ocean and Daytona Beach. The original lighthouse keepers' homes have been preserved and turned into museums where you can see the offices, rooms and various items that were used in keeping the light going, together with great old photos of the area from the late 1800s into the 1920s, 30s and 40s. So, 5 stars to Royal Holiday Beach and we are making it our home away from home at the beach.

This motel is just what the doctor ordered for rest and relaxation. It reminded me of the motels our family stayed out when I was a teen (many moons ago). I can't wait to go back with my husband and walk on the beach, watch the gorgeous sunrise, and just chill. Marilyn made me feel so comfortable and gave great directions for everything in the area that I wanted to get to. October and November are perfect off season months . I can't wait to return---maybe next month for our anniversary. Thanks again Marilyn!!
