Top Marine Science Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn New Smyrna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean, close to shops and restaurants and the staff were all very kind!"

Coconut Palms Beach Resort II, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of the 1BR Bungalows and were presently surprised. They offered a refrigerator, microwave, stove and dishwasher. Plus, all the necessities needed for cooking. We had two rooms: one for sleeping and the other a living room with an L shaped sofa. The rooms were well appointed and spacious. We only needed the staff one time during a 5-night stay and they were very accommodating. The bungalow had a self-locking front door, so we always felt safe. The bungalow came with two Adirondack chairs facing the beach and ocean which upon viewing was very soothing. The bungalow was very spacious and very clean more so than a simple hotel room. We plan on returning next year because the Facility is close to NSB and Flagler Avenue. We did not venture too far away from this property because everything we needed was in close proximity. Coconut Palms Beach Resort ll is our place to stay in New Smyrna Beach."

Inn On the Avenue

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by the host. Lovely unique property that felt like you were staying in someone's home rather than a B&B. Very comfortable room and the highlight of our stay was definitely breakfast. Our kids loved cooking their own pancakes at the table. Property very close to the beach and all the amenities in New Smyrna Beach with the bonus of on site parking. Thank you for such an amazing stay. Would definitely recommend Inn on the Avenue."
