“Great location and friendly staff. Rooms are good, my 1 bedroom was very clean and functional. Yeah, it's a little dated but I'm not living here permanently! Multiple bathrooms and TVs are bonus. You need to be 3rd floor and above to see the ocean.”

“Not a 5 Star property, but the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is remarkable and friendly. If you are staying in Cocoa Beach, it is nicely positioned. Most of the rooms have open views, especially 3rd floor on up. Quiet fairly empty beach on this end of the area.”

“Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. We were in an oceanfront room, the balcony is huge. It was nice to have a bar and restaurant on site. Lots of things to do in the area. Will definitely go back.”

“The resort is currently under renovations according to booking but we never heard or seen any construction we had a good stay. Room we stayed in was roomy but we were on second floor so ocean view was blocked by palm trees and mangroves the website does not mention this when booking so when booking I would make sure room is on 4th floor above if you want an ocean view...the restaurant/bar on site was awesome food was good.... they do have a small game room. Overall it was a good stay”
