Bottom Line
The 66-room Discovery Beach Resort is a mid-range timeshare property located right on the beach. The resort offers large condos with fully equipped kitchens, washers/dryers, coffeemakers, and balconies with seating and wonderful ocean or city views. However, housekeeping is only offered once every two weeks and there is a cleaning fee for guests staying less than a week. The quiet beach area is the top highlight along with the outdoor pool and hot tub, and there is an on-site restaurant and bar, a sauna, a fitness center, and a game room. Free Wi-Fi and covered parking are provided. Guests may also want to consider the family-friendly Resort on Cocoa Beach, which also offers rental condos on the beach.

Scene
A welcoming yet dated beach hotel popular with vacationing families
This dated oceanfront party has a friendly, casual vibe. The lobby has gray tile and high ceilings as well as green leather couches and a flat-screen TV. A beach mural stands at the entrance of the Discovery Beach Cafe, while green leaf-patterned carpet runs throughout the dining area. Maroon leather chairs and green laminate tables cover the space while big windows let in natural light. Additional common areas include the outdoor Tiki Bar, which sits underneath a grass roof and is surrounded by white chairs with stripped padding. Most guests here are vacationers, and the property gets a lot of families with children.
