Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral Beach Resort

Scene

A busy and tropically styled, family-friendly resort

This huge resort property has an upbeat and bustling atmosphere with lots of kids and families running around and plenty of pools on the palm tree dotted grounds. Tan tile and high ceilings covered in wood adorn the contemporary, tropical-style lobby, which has a large fish fountain at its center. Wicker chairs with pale patterned cushions are gathered in small seating areas and there are potted plants throughout. The hotel's Cape Grill & Bar has a beach feel with bright, colorful walls, tabletops adorned with tropical prints, and wooden chairs with purple upholstering. Flat-screen TVs, green walls, and a bamboo ceiling decorate the stylish bar area.
