“I don't like to be mislead”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

people found this review helpful

To be fair, I called and booked The Cove through expedia, and the lady there, not the Cove, told me I would be "oceanfront". I asked her 3 times, even explained that this detail of ocean front NOT oceanview could make or break my decision - she said, "yes, ma'am it is ocean front. The two buildings are oceanfront, the rooms are not. The end of the hallways have a door with a small balcony - that is the only ocean front view. I was in the South Tower, the large window in the kitchen area provided a beautiful angled view of the ocean - directly in front view was the north tower balconies where you could watch people eating. Or you could look directly down from the room and its a parking lot and a huge dumpster. The upside was the room - very updated one-bedroom condo with laundry and full kitchen - loved that. The balcony was an even more angled view of the ocean. Why they didn't put the balcony off the kitchen where the better view was I will never understand. Also, The Cove's website said the pool area/waterslide would be under refurbishments until January 31st. We were there Feb 5 and it was not done - waterslide and kid's splash features around the lazy river were not working yet. Pool was NOT heated at all. FREEZING. If you run an overnight place that talks about a kid-friendly pool area and waterslide and it wasn't going to be done on time don't you think you would want to mention that on your website for those booking the place? I will not be back because I wanted an oceanfront view. Staff was friendly and wished that expedia would stop telling their clients they have oceanfront rooms...but what are the chances they actually did something about that? I will never know because it was a deal-breaker for me.

Room Tip: make sure its an end one closest to the ocean. Remember you are renting a timeshare property so assu...

“The Cove On Ormond Beach for the Rolex 24”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Excellent stay, great staff, room was everything I needed and more. I was there in Daytona for the Rolex 24, and stayed about a week. Room was spacious and had everything one would need for an extended stay. Kitchen was fully stocked with plates and all things needed for whatever you cooking needs would be. Most importantly, it had a wine opener! Staff had activities for guests almost daily. The pool deck was undergoing renovation and was closed most of the time I was there, but frankly, I didnt have much time for using it as I was at the track most of my stay. They did get the hot tub opened up late in my stay. Views from the rooms were good, you could see the beach and water, I was on the 4th floor. Beach access was easy and they provided seating on the beach for their guests. One thing about the Cove on Ormond Beach, its is also a time share, so if you want you can listen to the pitch, but they are not pushy about it, I declined and it was not brought up again.

Overall I had a great time at the Cove, and will be booking it again next year for the Rolex 24

Room Tip: South tower is mostly single bedroom units while the North tower has double bedroom units.

“Our 8th Year Spending January at The Cove”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed at The Cove every January for the past 8 years and will keep coming back. The staff and service are wonderful. They are always ready to answer our questions and take care of our needs. We are seniors and my husband uses a walker and a wheelchair. We enjoy meeting many new friends at the numerous activities each day. Also there is so much available in the area we continue to find new things to see and do. We watched breathtaking sunrises over the Atlantic from our balcony...and Ormond sunsets over the Halifax River are gorgeous. The Cove on Ormond Beach is like our home away from home and we plan to continue coming back.

We were on the 7th floor. Great ocean view. Very nice rooms, nice staff at the front desk. Would have been nice to have had housekeeping. Had to make up our own bed,get our own towels, take out our own trash. Would have been nice to have more and better activities a the resort. Would maybe recommend for older adults but not for families with children.

Family activities every day, very helpfull staff, Jennifer at front desk very knowlegeable of the area and very helpfull during our stay. Manager Regina helpfull with accomodations, Ted & Andrew activities directors were excellent and made you feel part of the family.
A definate fun stay Security on site as well watching vehicles etc.
Owners lounge is back to being for the owners, pancake breakfast, pasta dinners, and much more. Maintenance fees have increased some but updates are being done all the time, pool repairs, water slide repairs and paint, replacement of couches in south tower, mattresses.

Room Tip: Preference is south tower only because of washer & dryer in room
