Cape Canaveral Beach ResortRental Guest Reviews

Tiki Bar Speed is Comical

Had an overall nice vacation with extended family at Cape Canaveral. My issues are twofold: 1. The Tiki bar is overly/comically slow. Lines would form and if you really wanted a drink, you had to be prepared to wait. The bartenders were actually great (outdoor bartenders, indoor - different story) but the setup was painfully slow - this needs to be addressed. I'm talking 30-40 minute wait for 12 people in front of you. Changes needed here. 2. The outdoor pool slide was open once during the 6 days we spent there, Our families are in high school so it wasn't a big deal but the site boasts this slide and if I had young children who were counting on this slide, I would have been very disappointed. There was a bar tender inside who was miserable, to put it lightly but also one who was very happy and an absolute pleasure to talk to and be around.

No benefit to being Spire Elite

There wasn't any benefit to being Spire Elite. Most properties go above and beyond and acknowledge status. There wasn't an upgrade despite two welcome emails send prior to our arrival implying there would probably be one. The property itself has some good amenities. The restaurant is decent. Nothing is close though. The rooms are dated and the shower had mildew.

Very kid friendly/poor room service

- There is no room service. You have to call if you want towels or any requests. It can take 2 days for them to deliver to room - Food options not very fancy and wait time for dinner is long even though there is only 2 people in the room (after 6:00pm check in) - There is a timeshare resort so they will give you a tag and state to get your parking pass you have to go to this other table and turn in your tag, which only gets you to the timeshare people, but you do get the parking pass.

Great Family Vacation

Everything was great except the pool bar was slow and understaffed.

Florida fun

We had a wonderful relaxing vacation. Would recommend this location to everyone. Beautiful setting and close to the ocean.

beach vacation with kids

Highly recommend for families. Lots to do on property (pools, movies, game room). shuttle service or walk to beach. not happy with the restaurant but lots of restaurant options off property -- and if you have a kitchen easy access to grocery store or walmart. kids liked seeing the cruise ships go out. close to kennedy space center.

Safety

When we first checked in the dead bolt lock worked After several days it would not work This needs attention too

Loved the amenities, not the rooms.

This property needs updating if this is to be considered a premier resort. The only thing updated was the showers. The toilet had a slow leak that should have been discovered during pre-inspection. The carpet was wet due to the leak. We hung around that morning until it was fixed, didn’t realize we could leave. Loved the amenities, especially movie theatre and my grandson loved the pool/water park. Loved the ocean view and most of the staff was great except the service at the bar area was very slow and the bartender could have been a little friendlier. Did not appreciate the sales push to get my parking permit nor the sales call the following day. I paid full price to avoid such nonsense. Just wanted to relax. Didn’t seem to matter about being in the rewards club, didn’t notice any discounts or special treatment.

Not Holiday Inn Quality

The pool area was very nice and clean. Debbie at the pool bar was fantastic. The food that was ordered from this bar was outstanding. The only problem with the pool area was it all closed down at 5pm. The front desk staff were rude. The room was a total disaster. I have never seen a room this filthy. The carpet was ripped and frayed. The shower had mold and hair in it. The walls were chipping and flaking. When these things were brought to the attention of the front desk staff, nothing was done. This is not a Holiday Inn Property I would every recommend.

Incredible Pool Area

We stayed for 1 night before our cruise. We wish our flight would have been on time so we could have spent more time relaxing before going to the port. Tried to book for after our cruise but it filled up fast. It is very easy to find and close to the port. Grocery stores are a short drive away. The room décor could use some updates, but overall that is cosmetic. The property is clean and well maintained. The gorgeous outdoor pool area and other amenities (movie room, game room and indoor play area for young kids, beach shuttle) put this resort at the top of our list for a repeat stay. Highly recommend staying here.
