The Resort on Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed here a couple of times when visiting the space center. Less than 30 minute drive to the center. The rooms are really a 2 bedroom condo. Lots of room, tastefully decorated. Walk out the back door and you are on the beach. Nice heated pool and hot tub. Other resort activities like a movie room. Decent Mexican restaurant in the hotel. Liked this hotel so much it has become my gold standard for how I judge similar properties. Only about a third of the rooms have a direct water view,...

We were on a road trip just looking for a place to spend the night. We booked online and even though we arrived late and the office was alredy closed, we got our keys and were also able to leave before the office opened. Inside we found a lovely little house perfekt to prepare some dinner and more than enough space to sleep. Thanks for a very nice stay, I can recommend it to anyone!! (If you plan to stay longer than one night you schoud know, that the beach is only a ew steps away)
