Vibrant Daytona oceanfront resort offers sun, sand and entertainment
Beach-lovers flock to this lively resort a few miles north of the Daytona strip. This is a quieter part of the beach, but no less vibrant when the live entertainment kicks up poolside. The beach here is wide and stretches for miles in both directions, perfect for walking and biking. The Caribbean-themed rooms have balconies with ocean views. La Playa Resort is within walking distance to restaurants and shops, and a short drive to the speedway and several golf courses.
Highlights
- Oceanfront pool and lounge and kiddie pool
- Lounge with comedy club
- Golfers are a short drive to LPGA International Golf Course
Rooms
The 238 stylishly decorated rooms at La Playa Resort have a distinctive Caribbean feel, with colorful fabrics and wood furniture. The rooms are housed within an eight-story structure and all come with private balconies and ocean views. Other amenities include kitchenettes, premium cable television, microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers with gourmet coffee and tea.
Features
La Playa Resort is situated on a magnificent section of a wide 23-mile beach. The hard-packed sand and refreshing surf attract sunbathers, swimmers, surfers and bike riders. Motorized water sports such as jet-skiing and parasailing are available nearby. The Ocean Waters Spa offers a variety of European Spa treatments overlooking the ocean.
The oceanfront pool deck is a perfect respite from the salt water and sand. The poolside Tiki Bar serves lunch and drinks, and live entertainment performs poolside on weekends. The resort is convenient to numerous restaurants and shops, including a large shopping center across the street. The Penthouse Lounge in the resort is home to Bonkerz Comedy Club.

You get what you pay for
The room was clean and big with a kitchen. Doors had some issues but nothing major. If your looking for a basic hotel this is it. Far from the boardwalk on foot. Staff could have been more helpful. Nice pool area

Worst Experience Ever
The LaPlaya Resort & Suites was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. First upon trying to enter the room the key card didn't work, had to go back down to the front desk to get another card which didn't work either. Had to go back down to the front desk and maintenance was called to come repair door. Finally upon entering the room I thought I was being punked. It was utterly terrible. The carpet was soiled and filthy, the bath towels were dingy and overused, the comforters on the beds were from the 60's. Later in the night I had a guest to visit, the roaches, I couldn't believe it, no excuse for a hotel to have roaches to that magnitude it was ridiculous. The next day maintenance came back to spray for the roaches but later that night they were worst. I thank LaPlaya for making my first stay in Flordia the worst experience ever for me. The staff was not friendly and not really willing to help when called upon.

DO NOT STAY HERE
this hotel was absolutely disgusting. I wish I could get a refund. The beach was beautiful though. Oceanview from the side hardly. Only received room service when we checked in. Employees are very rude and unwelcoming. I suggest never staying at la Playa in daytona beach. Pool was small and salty. Hot tub can onlyfit three people. Since we never got room service in the week we were there we had to use the same towels everyday. Oh blood stain on the floor. Absolutely no lock on the door, talk about safety. Overall all I want my money back.

Close to everything we needed.
The hotel has seen better days but it was clean. And best of all we had a bed for everyone. Finding a hotel for 5 is hard.

Horrible experience, BAD service
Me and 3 other friends had our worst experience at this hotel and we highly recommend to everybody to not stay at this hotel. Our first night we had to switch rooms because the A/C broke, so they move our rooms and then the next day a family comes into our room because the people at the front desk didnt switch our rooms on the computer so we were rudely intruded on. This hotel charged us $20 for parking which is rediculous and 2 of the nights we couldnt even find a spot at the hotel because they had some comedy club going on. Our room had a kitchenette but had no pans to cook with so we had to call twice for a pan and no one ever brought it up so we had to go out to eat every night so that was a waste. One of my friends left her heels in the first room we were in so the next day we go back to get them and they were gone and houskeeping said they never saw them when they specifically were left in the other room. We asked to speak to a manager and the 2 workers at the front desk kept ignoring us and avoiding contacting the manager. overall this was my worst experience with a hotel and it deffinately put a damper on our trip. And worst of all after all the hassle we went through you figure they could at least give us some kind of discount for the trouble but all we get from the lady is a apology. NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. They need to be trained

La Playa Roach Resort!!!
La Playa ROACH Resort from HELL. My family was disgusted by the condition of our room. This is the first and last time we will ever stay at this hotel. My family did NOT sleep under the covers at this nasty roach motel! Yes, there was roaches everywhere! The kitchen appliances were older than I am and very dirty. The carpet was so bad we had to throw away our kids socks and the entire room smelled horrible. The sheets were not changed and the bathroom was filthy. To make matters worse we could not find any coke machines or ice machines that actually worked. We were going to stay a few days longer but could not stand to stay in such a nasty place. I have stayed at many places along the beach and this is the worst we have ever seen! Do not believe the pictures online! My family will NEVER stay at this roach infested trash heap again!!!!!

Great Price for a decent place
The hotel was very clean and right on the beach. The had a nice pool and tiki bar. The price was unbeatable and the view was beautiful. My only complaint was that the air conditioner in our room didn't work very well, so it got hot in our room at night.

When we checked in, we were unaware of the charge for being under 26 years old that we each had to pay. We rented a room that was supposed to be an ocean view room, but were put on the side of the building and our view was part of the ocean, but mostly looking at the city. The rooms are a little outdated, but we booked so far in advance that it was decent for the price.

Short drive from hotel
If you are on a trip to go a lot of things outside of hotel, then you should have a car with you. Cabs were pricey.
