Top Dana Strands Beach Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice, however I feel that the jacuzzi tub/ shower was an accident waiting to happen. In order to get in the tub even to take a shower or bath you had to go up two large steps to then go down into the jacuzzi tub. The tub wasnt to slippery as it had some non slip strips but getting out was a little tricky because your wet and standing on ceramic flooring of course you can use a towel buy that could be a trip hazard too. There is a handrail on one side but older people and younger too need to be careful or you could really slip and fall. My room smelled a little musty and curtains had a moldy stains. Cindy"

Stunning Multimillion Dollar Oceanfront -interior by Artist SPECIAL 2026 PRICES

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect and Jill, the host, is absolutely amazing. We have already booked again for next year because we were so happy with it. The views can’t be beat in the location, puts you walking distance, not just from the beach, but easily into town. There were plenty of linens, and the beds were incredibly comfortable as well. Great place!!"

Dana Dream Coastal Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town for a wedding and we brought our 11 month old baby. Everything was very clean, easy to use & the backyard is also very clean along with the Hot tub. They had a pack and play so we did not need to bring ours for the baby to sleep in. They had a couple beach chairs, little beach umbrella for our visit to baby beach. It was great! we were able to put our little guy down in the evenings in time to enjoy a little relaxation in the Hot tub at the end of each night. Farmers market on Saturday was perfect and able to walk to no problem for a cup of coffee, light breakfast and some shopping with some local vendors. Thank you,Bo"
