“Great Value with perks we weren't expecting!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We decided on New Year's Day to make a road trip to St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. There were 2 couples. It was a spontaneous descision so we looked online for an inexpensive hotel on the beach and found this gem. We were a little nervous because it was pretty inexpensive for oceanfront views but we decided to try it. We were SO pleasantly surprised. A few scuffs here and there but overall very clean. Guestrooms were roomy with microwave and small fridge included. Nice beach view from the balcony. Decor has a sort of retro tahiti/1960's motel feel. Beds comfortable with lots of pillows. The staff we encountered were some of the nicest we've met at any hotel ever, friendly and helpful.

It was too cold to use the pool but it was clearly kept sparkling clean. We couldn't spot a hot tub. Maybe it was located somewhere else if they had one. Easy beach access. The manager's cocktail hour was great with full sized drinks. Atmosphere in the dining room was cheerful and we were enjoying ourselves so much and liked our server so much at the cocktail hour we ended up eating dinner there. We were very pleased with our decision as the menu, although not huge, was adequate and the food turned out to be very good and prepared perfectly.

The breakfast buffet, included in the price, was good with a nice selection. Although a basketball team came to breakfast just as we did the kitchen/servers did a good job keeping plenty of food out.

When we checked out I noticed a platter of oatmeal cookies set out under glass for the guests. That was a nice upper-end touch! No this was not a 5 star hotel, but they did a great job trying to be and all of us agreed we would love to go back there sometime for a longer visit to the area.

“Stay at hotel at least once a year .. Overall nice Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Overall the Aku Tiki Best Western is a decent hotel directly on the beach in Daytona. Overall they keep up the property. They keep advertising that the hotel is newly renovated. That was true 3 years ago. The hotel is starting to show its age again. The room wasn't as fresh smelling as it normally is. The carpets are starting to get a little grimey. The room was very comfortable. The bedding comfortable and clean. We had an ocean side room which was nice. We had a basketball team staying at the hotel with us so needless to say things get loud later in the night. Normally this is a very quiet and peaceful hotel, which is why i go, but the basketball team made a bit of noise throught out the night. The pool area is nice and clean. They have laundry service at the hotel as well. The breakfast served was pretty good. Nice hot eggs, sausage and fruit. Very good. Will go back again. The hotel should lose the tacky Hawaiin theme. It is a bit cheesey and if I didn't read trip advisor I would probably have not stayed. My favorite rooms all face the ocean. I love to hear the surf rolling in at night. It is very peaceful ... unless you have a basketball team shooting off fireworks at 1 in morning. ..LOL ....

“Wonderful value hotel with upscale Oceanside amenities.”

I just loved this hotel. Clean, spacious room with full min kitchen, nice front desk staff, heated pool, ocean views and direct accesses. Nice restaurant on site and plenty of free parking. Restaurants and shops in walking distance for miles. Fitness center is very very small but gets the job done in a pinch. Laundry facilities on site and in the surrounding area.

Delivering presents to family wanted to stay on beach. Stopped at Best Western and was welcomed with a smile and great overnight manager named Diane. She arranged a oceanfront room at a great rate. Obviously don't expect the Ritz but the service was as good

“Return every Memorial Day Weekend!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This visit started by a great friend of a friend, and so on. this location has everything we need, pool (with tiki bar), restaurant & bar,( free happy hour!) Families join every year to celebrate the holiday, we all bring our own snacks and extra beverages (jello shots included!) The group (husbands mostly) take turns at the beach with the kids, and the girls sunbathe at the pool (blue drink in hand). The management is excellent and the breakfast buffet is great! Plenty of off~site restaurants as well with shopping at the pier to do. Great family getaway! On~site basketball, shuffleboard and laundry.

Room Tip: Poolside with a kitchen, in my opinion has the best views.
