Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral
Wasn’t the fanciest places on Cocoa Beach, but loved the size of the rooms! Love the pool, the staff, the ability to have a cart, chairs and umbrella to bring to the beach. Will stay here again!

Radisson Resort at the Port
The room seemed heavily used, but clean and had everything we needed. The property was amazing especially the pool. Breakfast was well worth it.

Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront
Some of the lights in the room didn’t work and having to pay for parking should be included in the price. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and wish it was longer! :)

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach-Port Canaveral
It was a place to sleep. We had rock hard decorative pillows wrapped in pillow cases as pillows. Over crowded for continental breakfast so had to eat in our room.
