WESTGATE COCOA BEACH RESORT, Cocoa Beach

The resort sits between Atlantic Avenue and Ocean Beach Blvd, placing you within a few minutes' walk of the sand. The Alan Shepard Beach Park is less than 1 km away. Ron Jon Surf Shop is just a 7-minute walk, and Port Canaveral is a 9-minute drive. Melbourne International Airport is 31 km away, and Kennedy Space Center is about 30 minutes by car. The location is central for accessing casual eateries and shops, though the main strip has wide roads and a strip-mall feel. A free shuttle runs to the Cocoa Beach Pier, making it easy to explore the area without a car.

The resort offers Two-Bedroom and Four-Bedroom Suites, each featuring a full kitchen with stove, oven, and fridge, plus a dining area and living room. Units include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Two-bedroom suites have two separate bathrooms and sleep up to 6 guests. While some rooms have been updated, the property is an older motel conversion: bedrooms can be small with limited natural light, and some units lack balconies or patios. Road-facing rooms can experience traffic noise, while upper-floor rooms may hear noise from above. For a quieter stay with better beach proximity, request a room in Building 7.

Wellness and leisure facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, a lazy river, a children's splash pad, and a hot tub. The water park passes are complimentary for all guests. The fitness centre and spa & wellness centre (sauna, jacuzzi) are also free to use. The pool area can get crowded, especially on weekends, and the lazy river is shallow (under 0.9 m) and suited for children. The hot tub is heavily chlorinated. The on-site entertainment staff runs daily activities like bingo, crafts, and games, and the beach is a short walk away with chair and umbrella rentals available for a fee.
