Atlantic Resort Ocean Palms, Daytona Beach Shores

this hotel has a new owner he is a older white guy. very friendly. he is redoing lots of the hotel. i paid $60 and it should have been way more then that. i had a all new room with pillow top bed. new carpet. a flat screen tv. there is all new balonys. he serves free breakfast. and it is a buffet type. the employees were great. he showed me the room up front and it was beautiful. these pictures on here and nothing what these room looks like. this is going to be a great hotel when all the up grades are done. all the rooms match. they have black stands, dresser, tv, micro, and fridge, i would suggest you call and ask if you can see pictures threw some where else.. cause even the owner told me not to book with other people

I liked the hotel manager, the ladies at the front desk, the housekeepers, the maintenance man, the man at the breakfast bar. The grounds were well kept. The pool was clean. My husband, my little dog and I stayed three glorious weeks here and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this hotel. We had an ocean front efficiency on the second floor with a fantastic view of the beach and beautiful sunrises. And staying for three weeks, we were very pleased with our room rates. My likes are many and my dislikes, well, the only thing I disliked is that I couldn't stay longer. Thanks Wayne and staff....we will return.

All in all the Ocean Palms was about what I expected for the price. It was clean but to be fair this is an older building with the usual maintenance issues that any on the beach that are more than ten years old will have. Our room was a nice ground floor unit with a private small back porch which looks over to the very nicely landscaped pool area. The room was clean and smelled fresh as a non smoking room should. the AC was cold and quiet. Kitchen was clean but we were surprised when we found that there was no equipment other than the stove, fridge, cofee maker and kitchen sink. Be sure to bring all your stuff if you want to do any cooking in the room. There was no microwave either. The bath was fine and clean but ours had a small spot on the ceiling which has water damage and needs repair. The beach is easily accesses from the pool deck and is what we are there for. It was perfect and uncrowded. There are rental chairs and cabanas too. Breakfast was served each am from 6-9am and included a good variety of items including self serve waffles,cereal,coffee, OJ,Milk, toast, various buns and muffins with jellies butter etc. The dining room is clean and well managed. This is a kid friendly place and the pool stays open late as far as I could tell it was available all night and at one point I did go out and ask a lady to calm her screaming kids. It was after all 3:00am and she packed them up and went away. Motorcycles are able to park under the front porteco for security. At about half the price of a newer resort hotel it was a bargain. I would return to this hotel and recommend it to anyone who does not need a first class Royal Hilton and wants to save a few bucks.

We have stayed in this hotel 3 different times before our trip this year. It had always been such a nice facility, close to the ocean, a beautiful pool, and a very nice breakfast room. It was always well-maintained and we never had a problem....We didn't know it, but the hotel changed ownership last year. When we got there, we sure saw the difference! In our 3 nights' stay, we had to change rooms 2 times. In the first room, the door lock did not work; it wouldn't take the cards no matter what. In the second room, during the evening, the toilet quit working. We told the man at the desk, and he said there was no one there to fix it. The third room he gave us turned out to be a smoking room which stank. (We had a non-smoking room originally) , and the door cards did not work completely there either. Besides these major things, there were other smaller things that also needed fixing or replacing. Maintenance staff members we met were frustrated too, telling us that they would like to fix things completely, but ownership would not pay for parts needed..... So it looks like maintenance here is not a priority, letting guest after guest experience the same problems with the same things. This was supposed to be a vacation for us, but because of having to deal with all this and continually move our stuff around, we lost a lot of time we could have spent making it one. That is what we were paying $100+ each night for. If hotel management does things in a way that doesn't help to make the stay enjoyable and stress-free, then we and other vacationers should really be going somewhere else.

Spent the week at this hotel. People are friendly room is great with a great view. The beach was wonderful. I will stay again

Stayed in the hotel Feb 11, 2009 - Called for a first floor room for easy access for my elderly mother and the staff was extremely accommodating. All appliances were in working order. Pool was clean and heated. View was great and the staff was friendly. One area that needed improvement - the room was clean; however, it needed to be air out due to a musty smell.

Great service, clean, good continental breakfast. handy to everything great kitchenettes.. balcony views..wonderful sunrises and beach walks parking is ok depends on time of year. pool and other services good too.

We have a big family. We have 4 kids. Most hotels can't accommodate us and be comfortable - except for this one. It's right on the beach - can't get any closer. It was clean, had a great breakfast, awesome views from the balcony. We just had a great time there last year and are going to be on our way back there in only 10 more days. LOVE IT!!!

The front desk management was unbelievably professional and yet sincere and courteous during our stay. We would not stay anywhere else when we return. Can't say enough good things about the management particularly.

The front service at this hotel is awful. Called hotel to reserve an ocean front room. Person on the phone was terrible. I had to repeat the information, including credit card number, twice before she could get it correct. When I checked in, I was given a room on the second floor and the view was hidden by trees. I was able to see a gentlemen's club quite clearly. The hotel was empty but they would not change room. AVOID THIS HOTEL!!!
