The 111-room Bluegreen Daytona Seabreeze, Ascend Resort Collection is a mid-range hotel (also a time-share property) located on Daytona Beach. This hotel has unobstructed sea views from a heated pool, a hot tub, a kids' pool, and a barbecue picnic area. Modern one- and two-bedroom suites all have oceanfront balconies, flat-screen TVs, and kitchens or kitchenettes. There are also a clean gym, a market, a business corner, and laundry rooms on-site. However, there isn’t a restaurant or bar -- many guests here self-cater and restaurants are within walking distance. The Holiday Inn Resort is a comparable beachfront option that does have dining, but not all of its rooms have ocean views.

Scene
Value Daytona Beach hotel with an outdoor pool and a barbecue area on the waterfront
Many of the guests at the seven-floor Bluegreen Daytona Seabreeze are time-share owners, and travelers can purchase units if they wish, but the staff typically isn’t too pushy with sales pitches. Arched architectural designs and a few palm trees add charm to the otherwise standard budget building, with a large uncovered parking lot in front. Outdoor hallways offer partial sea views, facing the parking lot. The resort has two modern elevators. Contemporary white leather furniture, blue paintings and wallpaper, and tile floors create a modern feeling in the lobby. Lounge areas feature white, sleek furniture, a flat-screen TV, and ocean views. Free coffee and tea is also available in the lobby. The heated pool, kids' pool, and hot tub are above the beach. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a wheelchair lift surround the pool deck. Movies by the pool, with features projected on a large screen, and ice cream socials hosted by the resort are a sweet perk. A grassy picnic area is packed with lounge chairs, patio furniture, propane barbecue grills, and tiki torches. Adirondack chairs circle a fire pit. A wooden staircase leads directly to the sand. The overall atmosphere is no-frills and relaxed.
Location

Publix Super Market is a one-minute drive and Pirate’s Island Adventure Golf is two minutes away. It’s a 20-minute drive to the Daytona International Speedway, and 10 minutes to the Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The Ponce De Leon Lighthouse is 10 minutes by car.
