Tropical Winds Ocean Front Hotel

I very much wish I could give them zero stars so I check in to my pre booked king sized oceanfront room that I paid extra for and got a view of the cars in a parking lot on the 1^st floor! Second the king bed was actually two doubles!!! We get to our room and it’s very loud because of the spring break season I understand that but what I don’t understand is how there was a dirty tampon in our bathroom trash GROSS!!! So I told the lady up front she said all she had available was 1 room facing the street and she would leave letter for the manager in the morning I can’t believe I payed 200 a night for this experience I never complain but this was absolutely horrible!!! Will never come back and neither will anybody that works for my company

Perfect… clean, quiet, private balcony on the beach. Wish I was staying longer. I could stay for a long time and not get tired of it. Air conditioning rocks, too. When you get too hot outside, step into my meat locker and cool your heels for a minute. Staff were very friendly and happy to help, very genuine good people – a rare find these days. I love just sitting on the balcony, listening to the surf. Daytona is about the best beach out there, and being right on it is fabulous.

Great stay! Friendly desk manager who greeted us on way on & out. Clean room & comfortable bed. Nice balcony view of the ocean which is my favorite part of the beach. Quiet atmosphere in halls. Easy access to the beach. affordable and neat/
Clean & cant beat that. Good times.

I’m not sure what the criteria is for a hotel to be considered a «resort,» as this place has decided to call itself, but I’m fairly certain it’s not. At all! I do not understand all the positive reviews it has received on other sites. I don’t get it. As my husband and son walked around Daytona (aka — 1987), we realized that everything that has been rated 4 or 5 stars must be using a different scale. Like 4 or 5 stars out of 20 possible stars. So that’s my advice. Anytime you read a review about anything located in Daytona, base it on the 20 star scale, then you will not be disappointed!

This is an overall good hotel. It has a great location with far less people than those closer to the pier. It is a great place to relax and enjoy your family. If you want to enjoy the pier, you can walk (it’s about a mile and a half). It is clean and everyone is friendly. I would recommend if your looking for relaxation. it is only not a 5 because it is a bit outdated.

Horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible!!! Such rude service! We drove 21 hours to come to this hotel and I want my damn refund! I was trying hard to like this hotel so it wouldn’t ruin my vacation!!! I’ve been here 4 hours and got into it with staff 3 times. They are so so disrespectful and demanding about the pet policy. THEY TELL US THEY WONT HESITATE TO CHARGE US IF ANY DAMAGE IS DONE! When we walked in the carpet smells so bad that I had to go out and buy a candle and febreze. Carpet damage is sure a problem in the room I stayed. (Was told by one of the staff members that I need to make sure my dog does not ruin their carpet). They should use the money they seem to charge people and use it to install tile OR CLEAN THE CARPET! There are pee stains and poop stains in a couple areas.
Also, I do admit my dog barks when we leave the room but my family came here on vacation to stay and enjoy the presence of FAMILY. After being told to have someone in the room at all times with my dog, one of my kids have to stay in the room with her while me and my other child go out. We have been switching but it is such a hassle. They should make all pet rooms sound proof or make there hotel a non pet friendly hotel. I paid 1300 for 6 days. I’m pretty sure they can afford sound proof rooms on the first floor (the only floor pets are aloud on) Now also, you might say take my dog to pet friendly places BUT THERE ARE NONE IN DAYTONA! The board walk, the beaches, the pool decks. Nothing. The only thing we have found was a lighthouse park with a nasty beach. Who wants to spend their family vacation at a dog beach?
Hate the sassy, demanding, RUDE customer service at this hotel. I have had better cheaper hotels in the past around Florida. I was so sure by the reviews that this would be a great hotel but boy was I wrong! They ruined my whole Daytona experience and I will never be returning! By the way, I had to wait an extra 45 minutes after check in time to be given a room. Apparently check in time does not mean check in time. According to the RUDE lady up front who says «baby or honey» to come off nice, that they don’t have time to clean the rooms by three. If that’s the case, HIRE MORE PEOPLE TO CLEAN! Ugh, I’m stuck here another 5 days and can’t get any type of refund. Currently it’s my turn to watch the dog while my kids go out to the beach!
*my daughters page. Made a review on her page because I’m upset and angry. Have to let my fellow Unilocalers know!

My family has been staying at Tropical Winds for four years now! It’s always clean, safe, and close to the beach! The oceanfront rooms are the best. We always leave happy and ready to come back the next year. The staff is awesome and so friendly. We love Tropical Winds and will stay here everyone we vacation!

It’s not expensive. Clean room. 2 bedroom apartment with 2 tv. 90 $ per night. Oceanview. First line to the beach. Free parking and free WiFi.

Nice view of the ocean. The ‘free wifi’ is a joke. Always getting disconnected every five minutes. We booked a room for a week stay and they gave us the wrong room to begin with. The room we were given had no sheets, no blankets, one pillow that had hair on it. The room wasn’t even ready. When asked, they told us we were in the wrong room. They put us in another room. For four days we have been listening to banging and knocking. They are renovating the other rooms on this floor. We paid good money to stay at this hotel only to hear banging and knocking constantly for hours. The room we finally got had dirty looking carpets and now for the last three nights we have been seeing cockroaches. This is so disgusting. This hotel is a joke. There is no continental breakfast, if you want breakfast you have to pay. The hotel looks ran down and nothing like the photos on their website. I will not ever return to this hotel ever ever ever again! I don’t like paying for a room only to hear noises and to live with roaches!

Looking for an awesome, cheap hotel with beachfront? This is it! $ 79 a night (off season rate). We stopped at nearly every DECENT looking hotel along the beach and compared prices. This was the one. Indoor & outdoor HEATED pools. Plenty of nice reclining chairs to lay out on. No continental breakfast but they do have a small café on the main floor that overlooks the beach. We didn’t use it though because we had our own kitchen in the room… with dishes, pots & pans, utensils, toaster, microwave & all! Plenty of parking in front & around back of hotel. Privacy walls between balconies. In-​wall safe. Iron & board. Hair dryer. I truly have nothing bad to say about this hotel! If you’re a hotel snob then you may want to look into the Hilton down the street but if you’re looking for a nice place to sleep & keep your stuff safe while enjoying the beach then I highly recommend Tropical Winds!

For the money, it’s 5 stars, but compared to the Four Seasons, it’s three, and that’s not a bad thing. «A-​OK» is right on for this place. I think it was about a hundred bucks a night (my generous dad was paying so I’m not totally sure), and for that we got clean, functional, spacious rooms with small kitchens. It’s right on the beach and it has an indoor and an outdoor pool. All the facilities were totally adequate.
What makes it special though is the staff. The women who work the front desk are hilarious and quirky, and we actually had a really good time clowning around with them in the lobby while they took photos of my family with the Christmas tree.
The real highlight of the whole place is the two-​man team who run the little restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. Frans is like a stand-​up comedian who has something funny to say every time he comes by to refill your coffee. He works the room and gets everyone going. Billy is the straight-​faced foil to Frans’s shenanigans.
There were guests there from China, France and Canada, plus plenty of Americans and everyone was having a blast, which is more than I can say for most hotels’ breakfast room atmospheres.

Excellent price and location
Ocean front king room with full kitchen $ 95 per night
Pool area very clean
This is an older place, but they upkeep it pretty good.
There is a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch on premise. Prices were very fair. We had breakfast our first day here, it was pretty decent.
It’s a distance, but we did walk the beach down to the band shell. Not too far. Stay off of Atlantic Ave after 5pm. Still very seedy after 5.
