Sun and Fun Posted May 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I am looking for a very nice hotel to stay in for one night on the beach by Port Canaveral. This will be the first night of a very long awaited vacation for my family of four (husband, 15-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter). I don't just want a place to sleep before the cruise. I am looking for a hotel with nice amenities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epcopres Posted May 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have heard the raddison is awesome. Its not on the beach but has a killer pool this kids would probably love. Thats where my next one will probably be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiner6 Posted May 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2015 La Quinta near pier 39, great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nimbex1970 Posted May 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Check out the Raddison at the port. The pool is excellent for the kids. There is tennis and several other activities. Plus transport to the pier for a fee. It is our go to place. If you want a cheap breakfast, there is a mc donalds in walking distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted May 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I am staying at the Raddison at the Port Saturday night so I can let you know my thoughts when my cruise returns.... but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun and Fun Posted May 27, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks everyone! I found the Radisson when I was searching but wasn't sure. I see there is a trolley you can take to the beach that looks like it stops right by the Radisson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted May 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Doubletree, on the beach, balconies have a southern view of beach as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legaljen1969 Posted May 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Most people seem to really enjoy the Radisson at the Port and Doubletree. I stayed at the Radisson a few years ago. It was okay to me, but I see it has undergone many upgrades. The pool is really nice. I have not done Doubletree. Everyone I know who has stayed there has enjoyed it. If you do change your mind and decide to do a "just somewhere to sleep," we stayed at the LaQuinta on North Atlantic Blvd. It is pretty basic, but it was very clean.

ryano Posted May 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you do change your mind and decide to do a "just somewhere to sleep," we stayed at the LaQuinta on North Atlantic Blvd. It is pretty basic, but it was very clean. Thats where I stay. Three times so far and am always pleased. Its clean, the staff is friendly, the sports bar is great and the Asian restaurant is really good. And I got it for much less a night than Ive ever found the Radisson to be priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGCFreddie Posted May 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Check out the Raddison at the port. The pool is excellent for the kids. There is tennis and several other activities.

Zachary's, a small Greek restaurant, is also right there at the Radisson. They have great breakfasts and food and their baklava is to die for!!! I also vote for the Radisson. Great pool area and a shuttle that takes you directly to the port and back. Go for it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted May 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) How about the holiday inn vacations club cape canaveral. Nice pools with 4 story water slides and lazy river. Arcade and many activities for the kids. Also has a shuttle to the beach. Edited May 27, 2015 by frank808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abisha Posted May 27, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I am booked for my October cruise at Country Inn & Suites which was very reasonable. Friends who are cruising with us stayed there and liked it. They offer free breakfast. They do provide a shuttle (although I think there is a fee). They do not offer their own airport shuttle, but recommend on their website Cocoa Beach Shuttle service, but if you call around, you can definitely get comparable, competitive rates.

mattpro Posted May 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Only stayed once in Cocoa Beach. A CC poster mentioned to go to goportcaneveral dot. com Flew into Orlando airport - picked up by Travel lynx - took to the Palm's International hotel right on the beach - stayed overnight - picked up the next day - took to the ship - then taken to the airport after cruise was over. Total price - $ 139.00 Considering I live in No. Va. (25 miles from DCA) where a round trip taxi to the airport and back is $150.00, I thought the package deal was more than reasonable ............ and would do it again if I sail out of PC.

Diver2014 Posted May 28, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Best Western, Discovery Beach resort & tennis Club, Courtyard Marriott & the Resort on Cocoa Beach are all on the beach. Cocoa Beach is awesome - stayed there last week at Jetty Park campground. (The campground also has cabins for rent and is right next to the beach and Port Canaveral channel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg698 Posted May 28, 2015 #19 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think there are nicer places to stay than the Raddison that are closer to the beach and around the same price. We stayed there last Aug.(price has increased since then) the only thing I was pleased about was the shuttle it was very quick with going to port and on return to our car. I am going to try the Hampton Inn or either the Courtyard by Marriot in Cocoa Beach this October for our cruise. Raddison is just very dated to me and the lock on our door would not lock.

officerswife Posted May 28, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Courtyard in Cocoa Beach. Awesome hotel, lots of places to eat within walking distance and beach is right there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbear405 Posted May 31, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Residence Inn at the port is very nice, good if you have larger groups as rooms can hold families well, some 2 BR suites as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphinsc Posted May 31, 2015 #22 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Any thoughts on comfort inn? Stayed there pre-cruise for our last cruise and are planning to stay there pre-cruise again for our next cruise. YMMV, but for us it was fine. Fairly large pool, shuffleboard, a smallish lounge and fitness area, a GREAT free breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable. The walk to the beach wasn't far at all and the Ron Jon's and Cocoa Beach Surf Shop are right next door. Worked wonderfully for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
