We were in Daytona for a family reunion. We are from the Gulf side of Florida, which tends to be a little more low-key with lovely hotels, quieter beaches and an atmosphere that caters to just about every interest. We started out on the north edge of the beach strip at The Plaza Hotel. It was dirty and grimy with... more

Service was so sub-standard for such an expensive hotel($314 per night). We asked for a courier service to return tuxedo's and were turned down without explanation. Wait staff in the restaurant and bars had no sense of urgency except for one woman on one day outside. The inside bar was several times not stocked with menu items. A special request... more

The Shores Hotel and Spa stands out among the run down and generally depressing selection of cheap motels and shoddy hotels on Daytona Beach. At the Shores, one feels that one could be on one of Florida’s more upscale beach venues - Miami or Palm Beach perhaps. The Shores offered outstanding meals and customer service. Free parking across the South... more

My husband and I stayed at the Shores Resort. Talk about a room...very big, bright and clean. There was a desk and sitting area so you were not forced to sit on the bed all the time. The maids came in twice a day to clean and turn down the bed at night. Talk about service! The restaurant was amazing.... more

We felt extremely fortunate to have received a reservation to this property via Price line bid. Just wanted to spend a night on the beach during a visit to the NASCAR experience but after arriving we found the atmosphere and scenery so overwhelming we decided to stay another two nights. Gave my 12 yr old son the option of returning... more

Daytona Beach has a up to date luxury hotel. We completely enjoyed The Shores. Room was modern, nice size. Hotel lobby, bar area and restaurant very nice. Pool area was a little small but nicely done. Outdoor Tiki bar & service was good. Evenings by the fire pits and/or the outdoor music was great. Thought the food & drinks were... more

Much of my travel is professional. Thus, my hotel is paid for by sponsoring organizations & I am glad someone else is picking up the tab for places I usually regard as overpriced. While my stay was underwritten, the Shores is someplace I’d gladly return paying out of pocket. Fairly pricey but definitely value for money. Clean, quiet, good gym,... more

My 2nd visit better than the 1st (and that was near perfect). Wonderful hotel, spa and pool. But what sets it aside from the rest of the best is their management team and staff. Beautiful, well planned rooms with ooh la la baths.. Smokers are welcome, but as a non, I never knew it. Pets are welcome too! The gym... more

I had the good luck to stay overnight at the Shores Resort this week. While I studied the photos online, reality was so much better. After a long drive, it was heaven to be able to stop at the beachfront tiki bar and lounge in an adirondack chair around the firepit. Next morning, a long walk on the pristine sand... more
