Our Staff
The Board of Directors and General Manager at Tropic Shores Resort take immense pride in our dedicated staff! Their unwavering commitment and hard work contribute significantly to making our resort a truly exceptional place for both our owners and guests. They create what Hawaiians would call OHANA (one’s extended family). Their commitment to service excellence, attention to detail, guest satisfaction, team spirit, adaptability, and resilience has allowed for us to traverse the rough times we have experienced with the repairs to the resort so that we can all be glad to call Tropic Shores Resort our home away from home.
Danielle, General Manager
Let me be the first to welcome you to Daytona and Tropic Shores Resort!
My name is Danielle DeLoach and I am proud to be your General Manager!
I have over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry. I have worked myself up in various capacities, being a server, housekeeping, front desk, and manager. I love that I get to combine my passion for memorable owner and guest experiences with being able to provide an ohana vibe for you and our wonderful staff. I love being able to spend time with our owners and guests to make them feel at home.
When I am not immersed in the resort’s operations, I love spending time with my family out on the beach and exploring the local cuisine.
Please, if you see me out and about the property, let me know how things are going. I want to make your time here at Tropic Shores Resort full of great memories and I am always looking for new ways to try to make it even more enjoyable. Also, if you get a chance, say thank you to our hard-working staff. They strive to make your time here as relaxing as possible!
Again, welcome to Tropic Shores Resort. Enjoy your time here on the “World’s Most Famous Beach!”
Savannah Morris, Housekeeping Manager
My name is Savannah Morris. I was born and raised in the small town of Rutland VA. I enjoy crafts and music. I am engaged to my middle school sweetheart of 22 years. After graduation, I started work as a room attendant at Best Western Inn and Suites, a 91 room condominium resort. With in a year I was promoted to Assistant Executive Housekeeper. During the 5 years there, I was utilized as task force to coach and start sister properties in places such as Main, Massachusetts and more. I was soon offered the opportunity to move to Florida to be the Executive Housekeeper at Holiday Inn LPGA. This was their first and only hotel down south. During this time, we had a 4-year-old son and a 6-month-old son. Within the next two months, we found ourselves living and buying our first home in Daytona Beach! After 5 years at the Holday Inn, I was offered a position at The Plaza Resort and Spa. This resort was much bigger, 321 rooms and was on the ocean. I started there as an Assistant executive housekeeper and within two month was promoted to run the staff of 78 as the Executive Housekeeper. I learned a great number of skills at this property including HOA experience. Unfortunately it closed for complete remodel after hurricane Irma. While enjoying family time with my sons now 15 and 9, running them from baseball, football, soccer and basketball, I also provided short-term task force at The Max Resort in Daytona, as well as the Hilton on the Speedway. I am now extremely happy to have found a family here at The Tropic Shores!

Erica, Front Desk Manager
My name is Erica Kirk. I was born in San Diego, CA and moved 2 years later to Lindenhurst, NY where I grew up. I graduated high school and started work as a cashier in a department store then worked as a receptionist for a door lock manufacturer. A few years later I met my husband and we got married and had 2 children. I became a stay at home mom for the next 18 years or so. My family moved to Florida in 2014 and we have been enjoying life here. When my kids got old enough, I went back to the workforce starting at a resort in Daytona as a front desk agent. After about 2 years I transferred to Tropic Shores Resort and became the Front Desk Manager shortly after I began. Now I work diligently alongside our managers and the Board to keep Tropic Shores running as smooth as possible. I look after the front desk, reservations, and accounts receivable. I enjoy working with all of our staff as they make the work environment very pleasant.
