“ WOW! Just WOW! For being the Best Western restaurant I’m just happily stunned! Normally the BW provides a free continental breakfast for guest but this is an actual Tiki restaurant. They do have a free coffee and juice bar. An order off the menu. Very nice selection and priced reasonable. The crab avocado egg toast was just something to definitely hoot and holler about. Just delicious and what a tasty breakfast! Thank you for providing such a picture perfect spot in Daytona Beach! ”
