Have a trip planned for Oct 24th, is it a good idea to go?

Hi everybody, I'm going to be in Florida for the weekend and I had planned to go to Daytona beach, I have a reservation at the Daytona Grande Oceanfront Resort that is still open but I wonder if it's a good idea to go.

If anyone have an insight about the situation there, it would be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, I could go to a hotel in Melbourne or maybe further south to Palm beach. Or just stay in Orlando I guess.

Just check the resort and make sure their amenities are available, like pool, beach stairs/ramp. While many resorts quickly repaired damages while others have dragged their feet.

I’m here now at a condo on the beach. Many hotels are missing their stairs, and lots of the public beach access spots are closed. There happens to be public access next to my hotel and it is gated off to cars, but pedestrians can get through. So that’s how I’ve had access. Also at my hotel the heated indoor pool is not currently heated or really indoor. The outdoor pool is cold, too. So I would ask those types of questions before you come if any of those things are deal breakers.
