Ocean walk resort is by far and away the best place to stay on Daytona beach. If you like many pools, jacuzzi’s, pool bar, lots of restaurants etc., this is the place to stay. We stayed here 18 years ago for my daughters birthday. Always wanting to go back we finally did again for her recent birthday. We were kinda nervous to go back because we didn’t really know what condition\wear and tear we would find. When we first stayed there it was practically brand new (2 bedroom condo with oceanfront balcony) and knowing how the public and being by the salt water can really age and ruin a property if not well maintained. We were extremely satisfied and relieved to find the property well maintained and in good shape-from the entire pool areas to the inside check in lobby (as compared to the Hilton next door which from the outside has not been maintained nearly as well)!
We researched and stayed in a nicely well maintained condo (unit 609) so our room was very well kept and had a great balcony and front ocean view! Overall any property on the ocean as well as this size is going to get a lot of wear and tear and salt damage, but hats off to Ocean Walk Resort for maintaining the pools, building paint, inside lobby and common areas, fresh and clean smell throughout, friendly staff and safe!! We’ll definitely be back, not really another alternative to Ocean Walks proximity to the pier, ocean walk shops and restaurants, souvenir shopping, boardwalk, entire pool and pool bar area!!!
