They recommended the four-diamond rated The Shores Resort & Spa, as well as some three-diamond rated properties that were significantly cheaper than The Shores. Wanting to make this a special time for our family, we chose The Shores for its professed extra amenities and four-diamond rating. That was a big mistake. Having been “stuck” before with extra fees for parking, we had our AAA agent contact The Shores directly to ask about extra charges because the property’s website made no mention of additional fees. We were present when she was told by The Shores representative on the phone that there were no additional fees for parking unless we wanted valet parking, which was an additional $10 per day. Believing that we knew what our stay at The Shores was costing, we booked four nights. However, we found out after arriving at The Shores that they did, in fact, tack on additional fees that were not covered in the already high cost of the room.

The fee was a total rip-off. The only thing of value was the parking, which we had been assured before booking was covered in the cost of the room. To make matters worse for us, the room was nothing special. About the only amenity that was not standard hotel fare was the very comfortable, four poster bed. Other than that, it was nothing you could not get somewhere else. Additionally, one of the Close

There was construction going on at the condos next door to the hotel for 3 days of our 7 day stay. They were using jack hammers on a patio. You could not sit on your balcony and relax nor could you sit anywhere on the Shores' patio without ...Read more

Love the Shores. Have stayed here many times when in Daytona Beach. But they recently raised their pet fees to $50/day, which is a BIT excessive considering I have a 5 lb dog! Kind of works out to $10 per pound. When you compound it with $30/day ...Read more

So glad I selected this hotel with my Travelocity package. The view and outdoor patio are spectacular. The buffet was delicious and the beds are so comfortable. Plus, you're steps away from the beach and there's a business center to access the ...Read more

My seven-year-old and I had an Oceanview room, and it was beautiful! The room looked identical to the one pictured on the website, as did the pool and other amenities. The staff to include room service, greeters, manager, and housekeepers were ...Read more

The hotel in itself was great but on the first night there my husband and I heard a bumping noise, almost like a dryer running, all night long. We spoke to someone at the front desk about it the next morning and after we finally called, this was the ...Read more
