I'd stay again!

Other than not having an elevator to help with luggage, The Dana was a great hotel. The location was centralized, the beds were comfy, everything was clean, the landscaping was beautiful, family friendly with 'Dive In Movies' and the ability to watch Sea World's firework show across the bayeach night.

Quick Weekend Trip

I booked a quick getaway trip with friends and the hotel exceeded our expectations in a positive way. The beds were comfortable and the space was more than enough for a group of four. We stayed at the junior suite and the view was amazing. It was overlooking a huge water bay. They had a movie playing at one of the two pool locations. It was a plus that it was a heated pool as well. The restaurant on the property was a vibe and the menu was well priced.

Sandra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

An ok stay

Parking pass for vehicles is a bit high. Our room was ok close to the pool which was nice for our child. The rooms were ok, walls super thin for a resort honestly. You think resort you think peace and quiet. Well that won’t be the case if you have someone staying in a room next to you. Those were the only things.
Mariela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is excellent and awesome location. Only problem was at the Firefly where they had no change if paying with cash, and the service was poor for breakfast because of a banquet going on
