This is a small timeshare resort with around 30 one and two bedroom units. The 2 br unit I had reserved was on the first floor. I had e-mail them earlier asking if there was an open unit on any other floor (view didn't matter), if they would switch me. I do not like being on the first floor of any hotel/resort for security purposes. They e-mailed me back and said it was their busy time, but they would do there best. Upon check in I was thrilled to find out they put me on the fourth floor with a nice view of the ocean! I was so impressed. Ms. Beryl at the front desk remembered me by name on the second day. That was very impressive since it was the first time I had been there. I had a few minor maintenance concerns and Brian was there almost immediately and remedied the situations. Very impressed with that also.

The building, grounds as well as the unit were impecibly clean. I even checked the top fo the ceiling fan and NO DUST!!!!! The closet were the air condition/heating unit was imaculate also (I have found most places these are dusty/nasty areas). I made it a point to let the housekeeping manager as well as Ms. Beryl that that was one of the cleanest timeshare units I have ever been to.

The resort is old and the cabinets and bath fixtures look like they might be original, but they all functioned properly. The family room was very, large with a small balcony and had a pull out sofa, love seat, chair and ottoman that were all comfy and in very good repair. The kitchen was small, but had everything you needed to prepare meals and everything was in working order. The sharp knives were even very sharp (I have found this to be rare in most places also). The master br was large with a tv, but the bathroom was very, very small. The spare room had a double bed with a larger bathroom, but no tv. I also found that the airconditioning did not seem to cool the master bedroom as well as the rest of the unit.

The resort has a large heated pool which we enjoyed very much. It was the size of a lot of the larger resorts. There were several lounge chairs as well as some tables & chairs with umbrellas. There were outdoor bathrooms by the pool (that was definately a nice touch), a tiki hut with a radio, some pool toys, two gas grills, basket ball hoop, nice double chair swing, and a small hot tub.

The location is one mile south of the main street pier and is across the street from the beach with car ramp to the beach. Loved walking to the pier and back in the morning and at night.

I will admit I love staying at the more plush resorts and am a bit of a timeshare snob, but I will definately stay at the Daytona Resort & Club. There are very few timeshare resorts in Daytona Beach that I would stay in, but this is definately one of them.

I enjoyed the smaller resort which allowed us to not be crowded in the pool. There were no more than four other people in the pool when we were there and we were allowed to have blow up rafts to lay on (most resorts are so crowded they do not allow that). It was heaven! Little touches like a free daily newspaper and a computer available to check e-mails was nice also.

We stayed as guests of my sister's timeshare exchange. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly. They had everything we could need in the condo. It was very clean and very spacious. The beach was a short walk from the condo. I was very pleased. The only thing we needed to bring was our own beach towels.
There are many shops and restaurants nearby, as well as a movie theatre and a lighthouse. Disney was only 90 minutes away so we went there for a day, and for a few hours in between, we watched an Orlando Magic Game at the Amway Center.
Although my husband and I are younger and do not have children, it seemed to be a great place for families and older couples, as there were a pool onsite, a spa, and shuffleboard.

Daytona Resort & Club (DRC) is an interval ownership (timeshare) facility, although I do believe it rents to the public, too. It is spacious and clean but very dated in appearance and furnishings. Although DRC is not on the beach it feels like it as there is nothing but open, sandy space in front of the Club. You do have to cross Atlantic Avenue and then you have full access to the beach (even a mens/women bath house is at the entrance). We had a room that faced Silver Beach Road but had a very nice view of the ocean from our balcony. Our unit was 2 bedroom and could sleep 8. We had plenty of room. Please note this is a fairly remote area of the beach with only a 7-11, late-night pizza joint, and a diner or two nearby. All night life is elsewhere. We did not have a car and were quite isolated. Robert, with The American Taxi, rescued us, offering us concierge and door-to-door services. DRC's address is 1200 Ruger, but it sits near the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Silver Beach Road.
