We’ve been staying at the Sun Viking on vacations, for over 30 years. Started with our kids, and now by ourselves. Now our kids book their vacations there too. It’s always clean, and staff is courteous and always available.

Desiree in the front office was very awesome and helpful. The room was excellent and inviting when for first walk into the room. The weather was cold, we used the pool and hot tub a lot and they were kept very clean. We stay for three days the first time. Then we decided to travel around Florida a couple of days. We ended back at the motel for two more night the stay was excellent like the first time we stay. We met a group of people that were staying at “Sun Viking Lodge” for the last twenty years. That is how nice it was. Thank you so very much for making our vacation wonderful.

The outdoor pool is closed due to hurricane damage, but my grandchildren had an amazing time at the indoor pool. There is also an activities director for the kids. We were able to get a quick breakfast at the café by the pool. The kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes!

They say they put clean sheets on the 3rd day but they did not! I went to the front desk and asked about it and was told they would give me sheets if I wanted to change them and I am on vacation from my job as a housekeeper!! They allow smoking on balconies but you can’t smell the cigarette smoke or the beach for the smell of weed

We found this place at the last minute. Outstanding! Loved the kitchenette and the beach access. The only beach access for blocks. Outdoor pool at the time we stayed was under construction. Hurricane Ian destroyed almost every outdoor pool in Daytona Beach. We will be back in future stays. Loved the wrist bands as our key. Amazing idea. Don’t hesitate to stay here. You won’t be sorry!
