Our room was amazing. We were there for a festival and the fully stocked kitchen is exactly what was needed so we could eat good, real food while in Daytona. Also, a shout out to the staff. They were the absolute best!!!!!!!!!

Room was not what expected. Wrong pictures. Bathroom was dirty. Had to clean bathroom before using. No blankets. Very small. Never got a confirmation of payment.

I was fooled by the name and selected this resort thinking it was Fantasy Island II which is the next door resort which is much nicer/newer. The pool area and access to the beach are excellent. The room was adequate but the Murphy bed was creaky and a bit uncomfortable. The shared laundry machines need updated. We didn’t like the fact that the smoking patio was right outside our room. The smokers camped out there all day and night, smoking cigs, cigars, and joints. We probably won’t stay there again.

The rooms could definitely use an update. The appliances should be replaced. There was some rust on the refrigerator and dishwasher. We did enjoy the view of the beach. The staff was very helpful.
