BEACHSIDE HOTEL & SUITES COCOA BEACH - PORT CANAVERAL, Cocoa Beach

The hotel is situated one block from Cocoa Beach (2 km from Seacrest Beach) and is a 2 km walk from the iconic Cocoa Beach Pier. Numerous restaurants, fast-food outlets, and the large Ron Jon Surf Shop are within a few minutes' walk. Port Canaveral is 7 km away, and the Kennedy Space Center is within a 30-minute drive. Melbourne International Airport is 28 km away. Free on-site parking is available, and the hotel can arrange a paid shuttle to the cruise terminal for direct bookings. The surrounding area has a mix of shops and dining options that guests can easily explore on foot. The property's proximity to the beach allows for convenient access to the ocean and the opportunity to see rocket launches from the shore.

The hotel offers double rooms and suites. Double rooms feature a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bath, and hairdryer, along with a tea and coffee maker and a safe deposit box. Suites provide separate living and sleeping areas, often with a sofa bed, microwave, and small refrigerator. Room 'Sea View' options overlook the ocean, while 'Pool View' rooms face the courtyard and lazy river. Rooms described as 'Street View' lack privacy due to windows facing the walkway. Room quality varies: some are recently updated with laminate flooring and a retro style, but others are older, with faded paint, older fixtures, and reported issues such as noisy air conditioning units, lumpy pillows, and mould in bathrooms. Noise can be an issue in certain rooms; those adjacent to the pool area can experience noise from the lazy river pump and evening entertainment. Rooms on the ground floor can have passersby walking directly outside the window. Road-facing rooms are subject to street noise.

The included breakfast buffet offers a variety of hot and cold options, including eggs, sausage, French toast, waffles, pastries, cereal, fruit, and coffee. It is served from 7:00 to 10:00 daily. The Duck Dive Pool Bar & Grill serves American cuisine for lunch and cocktails, with a children's menu available. The bar is open from 12:00 to 19:00. The area is also full of restaurants within a short walk, providing additional dining choices. Service at the pool bar can be slow during peak times. The hotel uses plastic cutlery and paper plates for breakfast, which may be a consideration for some.

The outdoor heated pool and lazy river are open year-round (weather permitting) from 9 am to 11 pm. The pool area has a shallow end, sun loungers, and a large movie screen that shows family films in the evening. The hotel also provides free bicycle rental, and live music or a DJ is often present at the poolside bar. Complimentary beach equipment (umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, surfboards) is available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis. A children's play area with games is on site. The hotel's outdoor areas are generally well-maintained and popular with families. The poolside bar and grill serve food and drinks.

Free public parking is available on site without reservation, with accessible parking spaces. The 24-hour reception offers a safety deposit box, luggage storage (free), and invoice provision.
