Fantasy Island II

Everything worked at this hotel! They had a great staff, especially Alex who made us feel very welcome all week. This is a small resort and it feels as if the customer is treated like family. The pool and hot tub were great. The rooms were clean and it is right next to a little park that has beach access. The only thing I found lacking was I wanted an ice machine. Great job Fantasy Island II.

Fantasy Island II has two types/sizes of 2 bedroom Units and that is why you will see that Reviews differ. We have owned a large 2 bedroom Time Share since 1985 (40 years now) and the Unit we were put into on an Exchange at Fantasy Island II this past week was by far the smallest 2 bedroom Unit we have ever had the misfortune to stay in on an RCI Exchange. It only had 1 small bathroom which had 1 basin, 1 toilet and a shower, no bath. They claimed 6 could stay in the Unit but to have 6 adults in that Unit would be impossible if you wanted to be comfortable and have room to move around. Plus RCI claim with 6 adult it is ‘private’ when in the Unit we were put into above 4 sleeping and it most certainly would not be private. We ourselves had hoped to have 6 adults staying, which is what RCI claimed would accommodate, however my son and his wife had to go and find a Hotel to stay in because there was absolutely “no way” 6 adults could stay in the small Unit we were allocated. When you pulled the sofa bed out it left no room at all to move in the small Lounge/ Kitchen area. Plus there was no closet, or drawers for the 5th and 6th persons to put their clothes. The kitchen should be classed by RCI as only a half kitchen, not a full kitchen because it is very small and it has the smallest Dishwasher we have ever seen, however the reason for that was because the kitchen was too small to fit in a normal size Dishwasher, even with what it had minimum kitchen cabinets. With the Lounge/Kitchen being so small the Dining Table had to be placed right up against the wall, which meant it was only possible for three people to sit on one side of the table. The balcony only had 1 small table, 2 chairs and 1 chaise lounger so again the balcony was only made to accommodate 3 people. Some of the 2 bedroom Units at Fantasy Island II are large and do have 2 bathrooms so if you come here, especially if on a Time Share Exchange, make sure you do not get put into 207, 307, 407, 507, 607 or 707 Units because they are the Units that are very small and only have one small bathroom. Due to the size the most adults that should be allocated those particular Units are 2 adults. We were 4 very elderly adults and for the week we all felt that we were on top of each other. Whereas the larger 2 bath/2 bedroom Units at Fantasy Island II can accommodate 6 adults comfortably. Occasionally we have Exchanged with RCI into a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom Unit when there has only been the 2 of us going on Vacation and all the one bedroom Units we have stayed in have all had a larger Lounge and Kitchen than the 2 bedroom/1 bathroom Unit we were put into at Fantasy Island II. You will get mixed Reviews for Fantasy Island II depending on whether you were staying in the larger 2 bedroom/2 bathroom Unit, or very small 2 bedroom/1 small bathroom unit. I know because we stayed in Unit 703 at Fantasy Island last year and I wrote a very good Review for Unit 703 last year. It was because we stay

It was clean and the staff was very friendly. But OMG this place is small, old, and dated and definitely not what I expected out of Blue Green. Only come here if you are desperate to stay in Daytona beach. Reminds me of an old Red Roof or Motel 6......

Lovely resort with well equipped rooms, would not like to have more than 2 people in the 1 bedroom as they were quite small. We had a nice balcony with table, chairs and a lounger and a great sea view. Not much to do in the area, this may have been the time of year, we were there over new year. The whole town appears to be very dated although the pier was good.

I was very surprised at the state of this resort. It was clean, well maintained, and a peaceful place to stay. The unit was a good size and provided all the essential needed for the week. They provided a flyer that outlined any questions you may have had. I would definitely want to stay at this resort again.

We didn’t know what to expect here. Honestly we booked because we were forced to move from the gulf due to the Hurricane, and this place had availability. It looks so basic you don’t know for sure what you will get. We were delighted. The rooms were spacious, clean and updated. The front desk isn’t open all night but the staff is so friendly and helpful and down to earth. More than once, we found ourselves enjoying conversation with them. The location is near some beautiful areas. We had to leave early when the hurricane threatened the east coast too, and decided we will definitely return to Fantasy Island II.
