A very Dear Friend, from the Michiana area, who had been caring for her severely disabled husband…read morefor 36 years,had made this her first destination to see me and stayed at the Compass. She had never stayed at the beach and satisfied, however, I have over 30 years experience in service, I worked at Daytonas most visited and repeat customers for 30 +years. Treasure Island, on Daytona Beach Shores. Gone now due to hurricane damage. This Compass, has only been here in Flagler Beach a couple years and already going down hill... The staff however wonderful and made the best of it for the guests. The floors are filthy... Shower and walk through there are black imprints of your feet... The railings on the terrace seemed to have never been cleaned, as well as the chairs. One night the elevator broke down and they helped to get everyone up and down the stairs. The pool very small as well as the pool bar. I think maybe 10 chairs available due to lack of space. Same for the Rooftop Bar, seating outside minimal and the view is hard because of the way they built it. No mirrors aside from the restroom. No table though there were 2 chairs for one. No microwave. I will stop listing the cons... Pros, the beds are comfy, the food is great... Especially the chocolate cake in the downstairs restaurant... I wrote an email to the manager with no response. Given she owes us nothing, yet hope she read and corrected, retrained housekeeping and stepped up to make this hotel a wonderful experience. She plans to visit me again soon. Not sure yet where we'll stay. The residents of Flagler County were completely against this hotel but those in charge ignored us. We are one of the last little quaint beachside communities left and we want to keep it that way. We have wonderful restaurants and B&Bs. We want to keep it to be as is and not expand to a hectic over commercialized area. PS Across the street The Ombré Nail Salon is a must, for services, and scenery. Blessings

I picked this hotel bc I noticed it was newer, and it was away but close enough to the St Augustine. I love that they have free parking and a parking garage here was a nice surprise. I came into town and asked if I can check in early. They let me know to come back in an hour and they would have a room available. Once checked in, they gave us bracelets to use to open our door and use the elevator. These were so convenient bc I always had tons of stuff in my hand. Our beds were super comfy and our rooms were very roomy. They had small fridges. We had a view of the small side street in which there were a few businesses including a coffee shop. Though did not get a chance to visit it. We left to go to St. Augustine both days, but what I loved the most was their breakfasts in the morning and walking across the street to see the sunrise on the beach. It was such a nice location for that. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, & I was def happy I chose staying here during our holiday. I do wish we got to check out the roof top, but each time I checked it was close. This was such a great visit and I'm glad I know it's here. I would gladly come back. Now I want to search for all their locations. I know there is one by Anna Maria Island which we also love to visit. This is also a dog friendly hotel Which is great for all the dog lovers!

Heartless, Unaccommodating, and Potentially Unlawful -- A Devastating Experience with Villa Festa…read more I WOULD NEVER USE THIS VENUE or book with Beth at Villa Festa. Our wedding was scheduled for October 4, 2025 but due to serious and unforeseen personal and financial hardship, we reached out to Villa Festa with advance notice, hoping for an honest, human conversation. We had already paid over $9,000 of a $10,000 contract -- more than 90% of the total cost, with payments made at the end of 2024 and additional payments in January 2025. Only leaving a 1300$ deposit remaining which was due a month prior, Despite this, and despite having received no services at all, the venue refused to offer a meaningful refund, only returning $1,071and keeping the rest -- while refusing to compromise in any reasonable way only on their terms When we asked about rescheduling, we were told we could only move the wedding to July or August -- the hottest, most uncomfortable months in Florida -- or pay additional upcharges and fees just to secure a new fall date. If we wanted to keep the original October weekend, we could -- but only if we dropped the weekend package or else lose value we already paid for. Downsizing or adjusting the event would also require giving up our full-weekend access or paying even more for the new year, which is over 1k. We were shocked to learn that the contract -- which the venue keeps pointing to -- contains a clause stating that exceptions can be made on a "case-by-case basis." Yet when we approached them early and respectfully, they refused to help unless it involved more payments or major losses on our end. Worse, the owner Beth has since ignored all emails, refused to return phone calls, and declined to meet in person -- showing zero effort to resolve the situation or even maintain basic communication. The entire interaction has been emotionally exhausting. In light of these circumstances, I believe that Villa Festa's rigid "no refund" stance may violate Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), under Florida Statutes 501.201-501.213. Businesses are prohibited from: -Failing to provide services as agreed -Misleading customers about contract terms -Acting in bad faith in enforcement of policies A "no refund" policy that disregards performance failures, ignores written clauses about case-by-case exceptions, and keeps thousands of dollars without delivering any service could very well be seen as unfair, deceptive, and potentially unenforceable under Florida law. Villa Festa may look like a charming venue, but behind the scenes, you'll find a lack of professionalism, empathy, and integrity. This was supposed to be the most important day of our lives -- instead, we were treated like a burden the moment the money was received. I would NEVER recommend this venue to anyone, and I hope this review saves someone else from a heartbreak, money and time.
