The big blue fountain said nice as we drove into the Resort on Cocoa Beach. The canopied entrance, the beautiful big lobby filled with gigantic tropical flower arrangements, fountains and leisure white wicker furniture continued to say nice all week. In front of the resort was the swimming pool and next to it was scheduled good entertainment.
Our unit, on the fifth floor, was a delight. Yellow walls and sea green carpeting, with bright colored drapery and bedspread, brightened the Caribbean decor and was restful after a fun filled day of enjoying the surrounding area. Vertical blinds in both the living room and master bedroom gave privacy at night and, when pulled back in the daytime, we opened the double sliding glass doors to the covered, comfortably furnished balcony. White wicker for the headboard and bureau in the bedroom and highboy in the living room nicely complimented the tropical setting. Owners get an ocean view unit. We were exchanging, so we got an ocean front unit with a view of the ocean beyond another resort and if we looked in a southerly direction from the balcony, we could see the resort was right on the ocean. Looking north, we could see some of the high structures of the launching pads at Cape Canaveral. The bathroom off the master bedroom was oversized and had a glassed-in shower, Jacuzzi for two, and wall-to-wall vanity sink. The unit had a second full bathroom and complete laundry. Twelve-by-twelve-inch Mexican ceramic tile floors in the kitchen and baths were an attractive smudge sea green color.
Off the lobby, a 50-seat theater with a big screen played movies all day. The resort had a qualified childcare center, a really nice playground for toddlers, and a sprinkler pool outside. To keep in shape, there was a fully equipped exercise room and two full size pool tables. A video game arcade and game room were also available.
Orlando is only an hour’s drive west and the Kennedy Space Center is nearby, also. Shopping in Cocoa Village is great for everyone especially the older people.
