Wyndham Ocean Walk turned out to be a huge disappointment - the location was good but the room itself was, quite frankly, awful. I had a one bedroom apartment but it was dirty and dusty. The sheet had a small tear in it while the bed spread had a great big rip in it. The worst thing, though, was that the decorator had obviously got bored in the bathroom because apart from the one poor covering that really didn't do the job of hiding the previous colour, on some areas, the brush marks simply stopped midway leaving a two-tone wall. If there was any redeeming feature, the room was spacious with a good view over the ocean.

I didn't eat there, but it's mainly self-catering anyway, and I couldn't wait to get away each day as my room suffered from noisy neighbours. The other bad feature, in these days of connectivity, was that there was no wireless in the rooms so you had to hook up by going to the reception area. So, all in all, a pretty rotten experience.

Last spring break, sometime in March or April, my family and I had the opportunity to visit Daytona Beach, Florida for a week. Most of the nice hotels were all booked up, but my mom managed to find us a room overlooking the ocean at the Wyndham Ocean Walk hotel. We’d never stayed in a hotel like the Wyndham, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
The best word to describe the Wyndham hotel was massive. I love staying in luxurious places that have many amenities and lots of things to keep me busy. Wyndham easily met my expectations. It was about thirty stories high, and the building was a lot of different colors in the front. It was definitely an eye catcher, even considering the fact that it’s located in the busiest part of Daytona. The lobby’s floors shined and the pillars that supported the ceiling were striped with vibrant blues and greens. If you walked out the back door towards the ocean you were met with two huge pools, two hot tubs, a water slide, an enormous blow-up slide, a snack stand, and the beautiful beach. You could rent umbrellas and lounge chairs down on the beach if you wanted to have some shade from the sun while you spent the day outside. If you walked out of the hotel and turned right there was a theater, shopping center, restaurants, a live band, and more. People were constantly out enjoying the sites and activities. There was even a carnival with rides down the strip if you walked far enough!
There was never a moment during my stay at Wyndham that was dull. When the weather was nice my family and I would enjoy the pools, beach, and other things that Wyndham’s resort offered. On the few days it rained in Daytona the inside of the hotel had plenty of activities to keep us busy too. There was a movie box where you could rent a movie to watch for the night, a game center, indoor pools, hot tubs, restaurants, golf, a workout room, and much more! The people that worked there were friendly and helpful; they knew how to make you feel welcome.
The week I spent at Daytona Beach was easily one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weeks I’d had in a long time. The stress disappeared as soon as I laid eyes on the ocean and the exciting things to do at the hotel. Being at the beach always brings out my best attitude, and Wyndham made it ten times better. If you want a family friendly vacation then Wyndham Ocean Walk would be perfect for you. My family thoroughly enjoyed it, although the weather certainly could’ve been a little better. Going in the summertime might be better than the spring time; that way there would be almost no doubt that it’d be warm and sunny.
Have a fun vacation! I know I did.

We visited Wyndham Ocean Walk with my family in July of 2011, and had a very nice time.

We had three separate families travelling together; we had an room next to my brother and his family, and my parents had a room with a view of the ocean, on the same floor. All of the rooms were very nice; we had a small diswasher malfunction when we entered our room, and maintenance came very quickly and fixed it immediately. They were friendly and apologetic for the inconvenience, we didn't have any additional issues during our stay.

Check in was normal; not the fastest part of the trip but not unpleasant. They did ask us if we wanted to take the timeshare tour, and we declined; they were not unfriendly afterwards. My only complaint, in general, is when we tried to obtain more laundry soap, it took us two days. The front desk directed us to the concierge, who directed us to Housekeeping. Left the message with Housekeeping, who said they would bring it but did not. Called again and they told us to go to the front desk. Different front desk person sent us elsewhere - anyway, it was just laundry soap, not a big deal, but a little frustrating.

The facilities were very nice - a couple of pools, hot tub, water slide, etc. They had activities for those who wanted to participate. I appreciated that they had an Under 18 computer room, and an Adults Only computer room - I did need to do a little work while travelling ,and with no wifi in the rooms and logged in on my computer in the Adults room. It was quiet and comfortable. I did notice, however, that of the three computers at the public computer bank, only one would print, and one of the others wouldn't connect to something. There was some frustration from those using those particular computers that they couldn't do what they needed due to those issues, or had to wait for the computer that did have everything working. I also noticed that people did have to wait to use a computer, although when I was there it generally wasn't too long - probably 15 minutes at the most. It seemed the guests using the computers did realize there was a line and took care of their business quickly when necessary.

The beach in front of the resort is very nice; there is a very long stretch of beach to enjoy, so while it gets busy there's plenty of space. It DOES, however, get busy. The pools at the hotel also get extremely busy - it's hard to get a deck chair, and there are always a lot of people coming and going.

We enjoyed being so close to Ocean Walk, as we did walk over and eat at several establishments over there.

We're not big race fans, so we didn't spend any time in Daytona at those establishments. We spent most of our time just relaxing at the beach, and had a very nice time. We didn't find a ton of other activities to do in town (we visited the tropical fruit wine store, and the chocolate factory), but had a very nice time on our family vacation.

As you can see I am excited with this amazing 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment that had everything that opens and closes. This apartment would be the normal to Americans but coming from Australia to have this apartment with ocean views from out 16th floor balcony for 16 days was so amazing. I love to cook fresh food and wash my clothes with out having to bother anyone.All this can be done in your apartment. The 2 bedroom unit was around $189 per night. (We had 4 people share) 1 King size bed and in the second room was a double and single bed. Oh neglected to say I had a spa in my room. Amazing valued with incredible views. A walk or bike ride along the worlds most famous beach is a must.
