We have been going here since 1987 missing only 2 yrs. Lately we have been going two times a year. Its almost like a home away from home being as we always request and get the same suite. Its a great family place to vacation at

I've been coming here since I was 3 years old!! Very family friendly!! LOVE the slide. All the employees are wonderful. I hadn't been there in about 10 years and I went 2 years ago - and the pool lady remembered us from when we were little!! This is the only place I stay when I go to Daytona. We went during the end of August and they have screaming deals! So many memories!

This was our third stay at the Sun Viking. Twice between Christmas and New Year's and once after Memorial Day in May. Grandma, grandpa, two boys ages 8 and 9 and 3 other adults in two suites...there is something for everyone here. It's not the Ritz but then neither is my home...and it's better than my home in that the beds are comfy, we can cook our own meals (including barbecue on their gas grills),it has a heated indoor pool, a fun outdoor pool with slide and my favorite is that the suites are right on the beach. Nothing more beautiful than a sunrise over the ocean and a morning walk with on the beach with grandma and a flashlight walk on the beach at night with the kids. Excellent value and responsive staff. We'll be back!

We read Tripadvisor reviews which lead us to the Sun Viking Lodge, mostly for the waterslide and the ability to for a suite rather than just a room. We stayed over Thanksgiving. First, I agree with many other reviewers- this place is dated. Our room was clean but....could use updating. Kitchen- provides dish soap, one dish towel- paper towels holder, but no paper towels. Fridge was clean. Stove was old, foil on the burners, but clean overall (we did not use during our stay). The staff was very accomodating. They were nice and eager to honor requests. I didn't realize the poolside cafe was seasonal which was a little disappointing, also we read the pool hours and my son was ready to do at 9:00 but the waterslide doesn't open until 10:00. We stayed during the turkey run so no fault to the motel staff- it was loud in the morning when the cars where heading off to the race track. In the early hours it seemed some of the cars were in our room as they were preparing to head to the track. Now- the reason that I was reluctant to review- my 12 yr old son and I believe our room was haunted. The first night I wrote off the weird happenings and the woman's voice
I heard as a dream and a couple nights of not sleeping very well. However, when my son asked if I heard the woman after the second night, I knew it wasn't just my imagination. I don't believe in ghosts, but this experience has changed my beliefs. Due to the fact we were checking out that day, no need to change hotels. The presence wasn't harmful but there was definitely a presence. I read the place was once owned by a family from NY (1940's)- when I got back I researched if anyone else experienced anything weird ironically- another NY'er felt the presence- I don't know maybe somewhere back in time, something happened in that room and there is a relationship to NY- I wouldn't not stay because of this, I might however avoid this room- overall, the place is trying, it is clean, a few improvements could be beneficial. It was definitely a different experience during our stay- especially between 3-5 a.m. !!!
