Tropical Resort & Marina on Lake Beresford

What guests think

Travellers describe Tropical Resort & Marina on Lake Beresford as a peaceful, lakefront hideaway with friendly staff, clean grounds, and an old-Florida vibe, appealing to guests seeking quiet relaxation, nature views, and simple, well-kept accommodations.

Rooms are generally comfortable with kitchens or kitchenettes, though decor and appliances feel older and kitchenware can be limited. Facilities include a pool, fire pit, grills, a marina with pontoon rentals, and outdoor games, creating a laid-back, family-friendly setting. Downsides noted across reviews include sporadic maintenance or service gaps (e.g., water shut-off, limited office hours, minimal housekeeping), occasional odors or noise, and the secluded location being a drive from shops and restaurants. Expect a low-key, restful stay best for unwinding.

Resort is Old Florida Style! Surrounded by oak trees dripping with Spanish moss with a beautiful lake as your backdrop. Pontoon boat rentals, little store in the office. Staff is extremely friendly. It’s a true gem that brings you back to being on a lake as a kid. We will definitely be coming back for more weekend getaways.

This place is a bit of Old Florida. It's had that charm of Old time lake vacationing. The rooms are clean and are set with a kitchenette. The property people are all friendly and eager to help you out if you need something. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Pool, basketball court, shuffle board, corn hole, fishing and pointing Pontoon boat rentals. Everything in one place to enjoy your stay.

Water was shut-off for 2 days due to underground pipe burst for the entire facility. Management told us when we arrived. However, they didn't expect a shut-down for 2 days. No comp or credit offered for the water shutdown.

The 1 bedroom I stayed in was very clean and was just perfect for me and my dog to have a little stay-vacation. This time of year the place isn’t even a quarter full which makes it very peaceful and serene. It is a nice shady hidden gem on a lake with a pool. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

tropical Resort & Marina is a gem of ‘Old Florida’ with shady Oaks, picnics benches, fire pit, pool & marina for your boat or you can rent a Pontoon. The accommodations are simple, quiet, and all our neighbors were friendly. The staff was chill & pleasant. We rented the pontoon & had the lake and rivers almost all to ourselves, even on Labor Day!

Found this gem and so glad we did. Lakefront room was super cozy, bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The pontoon boat ride was a plus taking in the scenery. Great restaurants within a short driving distance. Pool was clean with lots of loungers to relax. We will definitely be back! Thanks Tropical Resort for a relaxing stay!

We LOVED it here! We stayed here during our visit to Downtown Deland (very short 10min drive) and blue springs (20 min drive). This is NOT a Marriott or a Hilton, this is hotel has the old Florida feel. Room and bathroom was super clean, check in was fast and super convenient, there is fire pits and a clean pool and basketball a loading dock . Very quiet at the end of the road at the lake. I would definitely go back.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. We were given 3 old but clean towels and 2 washcloths. The attendant told us to come back if we needed more. The office closes at 5 so after the second day we stopped in yet there was no one around. There is no housekeeping which was fine. The room was clean enough. Don't expect any extras. We had 2 spoons and 2 cups which was fine. We are used to camping and we just needed a place to sleep. The pool area was quite nice. It was quiet, It looked like a great place if you are a fisherman. Also, the laundry was out of service. It was a great location if you want some quiet time and still close to town and the highways. For the price it was a good deal

I really enjoyed the old Florida vibe here. I was surprised at the ashtrays on the tables outside each room, but we never had a neighbor so smokers weren’t a problem. The bed was great, one of the best I’ve had at a hotel. Being on/ near the lake was great for an evening wind down. There are charcoal grills available in the ‘quad’ area. Also a fire pit, pool, and several outdoor activities. The kitchen was lacking, it had the basics, but barely. If you go and plan to cook at home, pack your own utensils. We had a pot and a pan, 4 each of plates, saucers and silverware. No mixing bowls or serving pieces. I ended up washing all of the kitchenware before use due to a dirty spoon ( see pic). The bathroom is sparse but certainly functional. All and all I would go again, I would pack more for meal plans.

The pictures in the listing for this property are not representative of the "resort" - they are pictures of some other hotel, most likely many other hotels. These are pictures posted by the owners of this establishment. Very shady and borderline scam behavior. This property is WAY too expensive for what it is. The rooms are quite outdated and they don\'t look clean. We found old food on the floor from a previous stay and the bed linens were stained as well. We were very disappointed.

Tropical Resort and Marina is a quaint, friendly, old Florida property at the end of a dead end road, right on Lake Beresford. Love that the motel rooms offer a kitchen, a nice sitting area in a patio with beautiful, nature views. Lovely shade under Live Oaks and nice marina. Very happy that the rooms have smart TVs and WiFi was very good the weekend we stayed. The stove was a bit delicate because the knobs were replaced and I had be careful to make sure it was off. Minimal pans and nice, basic kitchen ware. Mini split AC was good. Only an 18 min drive to Blue Springs to see the manatees. We will definitely come back in the future and most likely bring our fishing boat. Thank you for a great stay!

Tropical Resort and Marina is a nod to Old Florida. The spanish moss draping from the oak trees and the lake view from our rooms provided a peaceful and comfortable feeling of relaxing lake cabins. The rooms are older, but charming. It is NOT a hotel chain on a highway. It is nestled on a Lake, providing opportunities for fishing, and pontoon boat rental. They had a food truck on Sunday that added a relaxed camp feel. The 2 bedroom has a kitchen and living area We enjoyed the pool, the fishing pier and the firepit in the evening. We enjoyed local restaurants and Blue Springs. They are pet friendly, The staff was very responsive to our needs. Our family spent 3 days there and felt very peaceful. We all decided we will be coming back.

Quick drive into town for groceries and dining options! This would be a great location for a family reunion, crafter's retreat or gathering for a wedding. Don't just get a block of rooms at a hotel when you could snag the whole place! We will be back!
