Hotels near Daytona Beach International Airport - DAB, Daytona Beach

Staying in Daytona is great. Stay away from the most popular hotels and book something like Perry's Oceanside Resort or something else. These places have great amenities, great views, and great staff.

Great place, parking on the beach for a fee. Unfortunately not the same Daytona Beach that I remember Pre Covid!!!!!! Approaching Atlantic Ave from route 95 you go past homeless people camped on the side of the street, literally sleeping on the sidewalk. Cannot stop at an intersection without at least 1 homeless person approaching your vehicle. However once on Daytona Beach the homeless are less. But still visible. There are NO homeless or panhandlers on the Boardwalk or the pier. Very Limited rides for kids or adults. The boardwalk is only 3/4 of a mile 1 way and there are store fronts that are empty and seem to have been empty for a while. The Daytona Beach of eras gone by is GONE!!!!!! The best breakfast that we had 3 mornings in a row, was at the Cracked Egg. There's also Bens, but they only accept cash and no credit or debit cards. An absolute must restaurant is Aunt Catfish's in Port Orange!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try Fysh was also a great spot to have a drink on their rooftop and watch the boats go by. Mexican is DEFINETLY Don Peppers!!!!!!!! Whatever you may want for Mexican food, Don Peppers can make it for you

It’s good if you like dive bar hopping! Lots of places have live music. Riptides was a lively restaurant with good outdoor covered seating. Food was good and good live music. Other bars The Famous Boothill saloon, Ditty Harry’s, Froggie’s good Happy Hours. Ocean Deck has good food and a great live band. Easy to walk from bar to bar. I would probably avoid Bike week locals say it’s ridiculously crowded and the prices go way up.

There is a lot to see in the Daytona Beach area. I discovered a new place, The Daytona Beach Aquarium, which is new and expanding as well. Instead of building more for this attraction they did a great job of repurposing a former retail area. I will be revisiting that attraction for sure. Like all areas of the world the climate has taken a toll in recent years, but Daytona area is doing a wonderful job of getting things restored. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that like any place including where you live everyday it is wise to know your surroundings. I attended opening day of the Tortugas at Jackie Robinson Ballpark with my son and daughter-in-law and was delighted to see how the area came out to support their team. There is far more to see and do in that area if you take the time to research what is there.

It is a gorgeous place to visit.The ocean is amazing. Many local and franchise restaurants close by to the hotel. You can drive in designated areas on the beach. Gorgeous area to walk on the beach.

Daytona has changed a lot since I visit in 2003 for the first time to 2024 last weekend. The sand is disappearing and the water seems to be too close to the retention walls of the properties. I remember having to walk from the stairs to the water, people where lying down in the sand. Now it is dangerous to do it due to cars passing by too close from people for my liking. Still is one of my favorite places. Still is THE BEACH I LOVE.
