My husband and I chose this resort after having read the reviews on TA. (Thank heavens for TA!!)

Thank you to all the people who have stayed here and shared their views.
But we didn’t book it, we decided to take a chance when we arrived. There are so many choices of where to stay we could so easily have got it wrong. So we wanted to ‘vet’ the room first.

Gwen was the first person we came into contact with in reception, we asked if we could see an oceanfront room - she didn’t hesitate in giving us the key to 310. It was an efficiency, lovely clean, fresh oceanfront view on the 3rd floor, with the sound of the ocean in your room.

We only checked in for 2 nights initially, but afteit’s right on the beach, so we decided to stay here for the duration. We asked Gwen if the room was available for the time we wanted, it was, and the rates she quoted became cheaper per night the longer we stayed.
Very happy with our choice, it really made our time in Daytona very pleasant.
Also the sunrise is amazing, what a lovely way to start the day.

Aircon/heating works a treat. It was a little cold during our stay, so the heating was a bonus for one day.
The Coffee bar/café on the ground floor is a lovely place for breakfast and lunch, either eat in there or ‘to go’ if you are round the pool.
We had breakfast here on our first morning, it was delicious with lots of choices, and the wonderful man who served us is a real charmer, very friendly and a great host.
Our room was serviced daily and very early too, we went out for breakfast about 7:30 every day, and didn’t get back till late afternoon, so much to see and do in Daytona. But on one occasion we came back around 9:30 - 10:00am and couldn’t believe our room had been done already!! Wonderful.
We had clean towels every day, 2 queen sized beds which we found to be extremely comfortable - even the pillows were perfect.
There are beach towels available as you go thru to the pool area, plenty of sun loungers available and access to the incredible Daytona Beach.
This is the only place I would stay when I return, and next time I would book it, as Gwen told us we would get even better rates as we are repeaters.
We chatted to nearly all the staff here , we found them to be very friendly people, always willing to pass the time with you.
We rented a car from Alamo in Orlando, it was a Chevy trailblazer SUV, managed to do a lot of what we wanted to do, and as we had to drive from here to Atlanta airport on our last day, the 6 hour journey was a definite breeze, easy driving for my husband… but I think it was more down to my fantastic navigating!! We were given brilliant maps at the Atlanta Welcome Centre too which took us into ‘car rental row’ at Atlanta Airport to return our car to Alamo. We stopped for lunch and didn’t make one mistake.
Driving on Daytona Beach:-
We did this with everyone else, but we drove ALL the way along, what a laugh, an RV had churned up the sand at the quieter end of the beach, guess what, we got stuck in that soft sand - right in the middle of a family beach party. While we were debating exactly how to get out of this. 2 American guys sitting with their family on the beach and 2 local boys in a pick-up came along, and before we knew it, they all pushed us out!!
Thank you very much, if any of you read this for getting us out, but the guys all said this wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. Needless to say we didn’t drive along the beach again. Next time we will get a proper 4 x 4 and try again.
We love this place and the people - it is such a fun place, and the food! But I will be writing about food in the forum.
We found a Chevy dealer selling tons of corvettes, We own/drive one in the UK, so that was great to see them all.

Places we went to:- Inlet Harbour, Ocean Walk, , Flagler Beach, St Augustine for a nice drive out, So many eateries (as you do in America) So much still left for another time soon!

My family and I stayed here for a week. The hotel's location was great with private balcony overlooking ocean. Kitchenette was great for saving money. The pools (outdoor/indoor) were clean and nice. The rooms were clean,beds comfortable. Will definately go back. Had teenagers who were happy with it.

4 of us came here and stayed in the Sunset View Apartments over spring break. This place pleasantly surprised us! The room was very clean and the staff was REALLY nice, they even arranged for us to have a later check-out time. It's prime location and was extremely reasonably priced. The little cafe is absolutely adorable too. I would DEF. recommend staying here to anyone who's not looking to break the bank but still wants a nice, clean place to stay. I'm sure i'll be back there again!

I'm an advid traveler that stays in hotels probably about 1 to 2 times per month based on trips for business purposes and leisure. Tropical Winds pleasantly surprised me. I expected cheap motelish accomodations with hard beds and bland decor. Instead, I slept like a baby in a very comfortable king size bed with an unobstructed view, kitchenette and great service in the hotel. My husband and I stayed at this hotel with the idea that we just wanted a quick weekend getaway at a very small price. This was perfect. Nice pools right on the ocean and it was not filled with crazy spring breakers. The room isn't going to compare to a Sheraton but it will definite work for you. I haven't seen a motel room this clean on the beach in quite some time. Please make sure to stop in the cafe for breakfast and lunch everyday. The manager was so friendly and fun to listen to and the food was excellent for the very inexpensive price. Quiet end of the strip but close enough to hop and skip down the road to all the nightlife and restaurants. The only down side is that you absolutely need a car in Daytona. It isn't really a beach town in which you can walk to everything. You do have to drive. Make sure to take the drive down to the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse at the end of the strip. The drive was my favorite part of the trip with fantastic yet scary views at the top of the lighthouse. We would definitely return again.
