MaryAnn261 Posted October 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Has anyone stayed here recently? Been reading mixed reviews but most are older. Are the renovations complete? Thinking of staying one night pre-cruise in Feb 2015. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaGrl4Evr Posted October 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here is a link to a cruise review that mentions a bit about the hotel. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2116360&highlight=international+palms . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmax Posted October 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Renovations weren't complete when we were there in March. It's an older hotel and renovations seem to be slow. We normally stay in a 3 or 4 star hotel when cruising from Fort Lauderdale and Miami. When cruising from Port Canaveral, We have stayed at International Palms-Cocoa Beach 3 times, (during warm weather) because it has beach access and a fun outdoor pool bar with food service-you can see the ocean! The rooms we stayed in (got a deal under $90 on Hotwire): compare to old basic Holiday Inn. Nothing fancy, but like being on the beach. We recommend Papa Vito's in Cocoa Beach for pizza - excellent! They also have Italian food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny .... it IS an old Holiday Inn the property was Holiday Inn Cocoa Beach until a few years ago when it was sold and became an International Palms property! Last time I was there the place was looking pretty darn good overall, given that it IS a refurbished property . . . I go there annually for a car show that's hosted on the property .... here's pictures I took of the pool and kids pool area This is one of the few Cocoa Beach (and Cape Canaveral) hotels that has DIRECT ocean beach access . . .

cruzmax Posted October 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Capt. BJ. - I agree, the outdoor area is nice. MaryAnn261 - I do know that some rooms have been updated; We were offered another room for extra $$, but chose to stay at our Hotwire price. We have always stayed on Fri or Sat and they had music/entertainment at outdoor bar, which was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
