JACKSONVILLE FL MAY 16, 2008 -- Our visit to the Wyndham Hotel in Daytona Beach was a fluke at first, as we had not initially intended to evaluate the hotel. Two men approached us and asked if we would be willing to come and visit the hotel. We openly welcomed the opportunity to evaluate and rate the hotel before actually staying in the facility.

First impressions tend to be lasting impressions, and with that thought, the initial view as we approached the Wyndham Hotel was nothing short of spectacular. This beautiful high rise is located near the Ocean Walk on the shores of Daytona Beach and is easily accessible to many fine restaurants, such as Bubba Gump’s Shrimp and shopping areas of the ocean walk. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for curve appeal.

We first sat down to a presentation concerning the time share opportunity of the hotel. We were very impressed with the opportunities the time share provided. Wyndham offers a point system to their time-share owners, which we found to be interesting. This point system allows Wyndham owners access to any Wyndham facilities world wide, and ensures that there will not be any lock out dates or limits on travel times. That kind of flexibility makes Wyndham a true value for the money. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for financial value.

As part of the presentation, we were given a tour of the facility. We were welcomed into a spacious check in area. It had a desk for the regular patrons and one for the VIP patrons that did not have to wait in line. The lobby area had large glass walls that offered a full view of the beach and ocean from within the air-conditioned comfort of the lobby. In the middle of the lobby were a restaurant and an open bar. There was even an after hours vending area for a late night sandwich, or snack. This area was very open and welcoming to any patron coming into the hotel. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for convenience.

Next we had a tour of the pool area. The pool area was incredibly spacious and offered a variety of activities for people of all age groups. The children’s pool was gated and separated from the other pools. We found it to be very child friendly where the depth of the pool did not exceed the waist height of an average toddler. The pool was wide enough to permit chaperones and parents easy access in the event of an emergency. This is extremely important to the safety of children when playing around or in water. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for child water safety.

There was no shortage of sunbathing space around each of the adult pools, and there were plenty of gates allowing instant access to the beach. Each gate had a security guard to ensure the guest were safe and that no one came into the pool area that was not a guest of the hotel. In between the two large adult pools was water rafting area where one could ride a yellow tube doughnut all around the pool area. It was a great way to enjoy the pool area without putting in the effort of doing a lot of walking. Inside there were other areas of entertaining. There were two indoor pool areas inside the hotel. Both of these areas had heated pools. One would be able to swim in luxury even when it was storming outside. If the pool was not an interest, kids could enjoy the arts and crafts area, the large indoor arcade or rent a video for the night. The Wyndham gave a lot of choices to make sure the average kid was not bored during their stay there. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for entertainment.

The pool area was beautiful but it was time to see how the rooms were. The first room we visited was a two bedroom suite. The room was very impressive. The décor was exquisite. We walked into the room to an open, inviting visiting area and kitchen. The kitchen was a full kitchen with modern appliances, which is especially helpful for those who desire to cook while on vacation. It was also stocked with everything needed to prepare meals for the family except the food. The first bedroom was intriguing. It had a king sized bed with all the comfort that one could ask for. It had an elegant adjoining bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and shower. Looking at this bedroom, one would think the second bedroom may not be as lovely but we were wrong. The next bedroom was equally elegant as the first. Perhaps our favorite room of the hotel was the four-bedroom suite, of which there are only a few in the hotel. If you were lucky to get one, you were in for a sweet treat. The décor in the suite was stunningly awesome. The lighting was made of motorcycle parts to give the room an interesting feel to it. The kitchen was very inviting as the other suite. The entertaining area was large enough for a small party to be hosted in the room. Each of the rooms were not lacking in character and elegance. Each of the rooms in the suite could comfortably sleep about 2- 4 guest in them. A couple of families could have separate rooms, with bathrooms for the adults and the kids and not feel stuffed or overly crowded. On our 5 point scale, IrSabio Travel Consultants gives Wyndham Hotels a rating of 5 for accommodations.

Overall, the Wyndham Hotel Ocean Walk earns an incredibly well deserved 5 of 5 rating in all areas. We, IrSabio Travel Consultants, were honored to have been afforded the opportunity to visit and evaluate such a stellar facility. We were extremely impressed with The Wyndham Hotel Ocean Walk from the time we entered until the time we left. We, IrSabio Travel Consultants, would highly recommend a stay in this hotel when visiting the Daytona Shores. The view and amenities the hotel offers is well worth the stay and we look forward to our next stay in Daytona. We will definitely consider staying at the Wyndham Ocean Walk Hotel.
