We have been exchanging our Gold Crown Hawaii TS through RCI to Daytona for many years. This is my wife's favorite place. The close parking, elevator, and oceanfront units won her heart over newer buildings and fancier lobbies.
It is an older resort and small which appeals to us. The crowd is older (with some grand kids around) so that we feel comfortable at the pool and on the beach. All the units are oceanfront, which is the major reason we chose this resort. We love to hear and see the ocean from our bedroom and private balcony.
The downside to this resort is that the main bed is a Queen in most units. There is a murphy bed (and a hidabed) in the living room. Sleeping on a murphy bed is easier and MUCH more comfortable than sleeping on a hidabed. The murphy bed is firm.
Our "mainsail" unit has 1 large Master bedroom with a King size bed and 1 3/4 bathrooms. That layout is great. These units with large double wide balconies are fabulous too.
The staff helped us with suggestions and directions for several things to do. We go in January, which is a calm month with good (but sometimes cool) weather. The pool is nice and cleaned every morning. Finding a deck chair at any time of the day has never been a problem. The pool has never been crowded, but that may be different in the summer.
Sea Club IV survived the hurricane better than many condos and the building repairs are all done. The pool area will be rebuilt and restored sometime in 2024. The beach lost a lot of sand, but driving on the beach is still allowed.
