Perry's Ocean Edge Resort
Pool and Hot Tub were great. Tiki Bar was closed for three days due to rain. Then on day 4 it closed at 2pm. The Donuts were great but this place should have a restaurant and a bar that doesnt close due to bad weather.

Nautilus Inn
The room was very clean with a good set up. The view was fabulous - you can see ocean for miles! The hot tub is small and hard to get time to use because it's always full and a lot of people don't heed the 15 minute limit to give others a chance. The pool was very nice.

Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach
Not worth the price, especially with resort fees. Expensive parking.
