Scene
A friendly, bright, and airy hotel with casual vibe and an airy but cozy lobby
The Resort on Cocoa Beach is a bright, casual hotel popular with vacationing families. It has an imposing white exterior and a much friendlier -- albeit gaudy -- lobby area. The front desk has a beach theme, with a grass roof and a hut-style design. Saltillo tile and potted plants cover the area, which is crowned with high wooden ceilings supported by arches and columns. A large stone fountain feature sits in the middle of the lobby with lots of plants and a tiki statue, and there are plenty of windows throughout the space that let in natural light.
Location
Directly on the beach, a five-minute drive from Cocoa Beach Pier
The Resort on Cocoa Beach sits directly on the sand, near Lori Wilson Park, I Dream of Jeannie Lane, and plenty of shops and restaurants. Cocoa Beach Pier is a five-minute drive away and getting to Port Canaveral takes 13 minutes. Cocoa Village is about 20 minutes away from the hotel, while the Melbourne International Airport, Brevard Zoo, and Kennedy Space Center are around half an hour. The Orlando International Airport is a 50-minute drive.

Sliding glass doors provide natural light and lead out to balconies with seating; some have exceptional ocean views.Bedrooms have green carpets, yellow walls with beach-themed artwork, plaid easy chairs, and colorful (but ugly) tropical curtains with matching bedspreads. Sliding glass doors in master bedrooms lead out to the balconies. Bathrooms are well-lit and have light granite countertops, big mirrors, and walk-in showers; some also have jetted tubs. While the units are pleasant and home-like, the walls are thin and there's a fee for daily housekeeping.
