International Palms Oceanfront Cocoa Beach Resort

This place must have been great once, but now it’s a tear down. We got in off a late flight and we’re looking forward to a good nights sleep and a day at the pool before I had to go to work. The lobby was dated but the staff were friendly. At this point we were not going to be picky about anything - we just wanted our room. Got to the room and just couldn’t believe it. Called the desk and they said no other rooms were available … parking lot was deserted though. We debated sleeping in the rental car - it was THAT bad. It was obvious that they had flooding issue they just covered up. There was water damage 4-6 inches up the walls that had been painted over, moldy areas in the corners, cracked tiles from the subfloor giving way, etc - I mean this was not just a housekeeping issue this is structural and a health code violation! The bathroom was “cleaned” but not clean. The refrigerator was so loud it was like having a running vehicle in the room so we unplugged it. The air conditioner worked. The floors were filthy and our socks ruined. Never used any other amenities because 4 hours later we found another room and moved to the Hilton just down the street. $60 more but we’ll worth it. Funny thing - Hilton has supposedly purchased that property and it’s scheduled for a tear down. They apologized when we told them of our experience. Our room was so bad that if the rest of the rooms were like ours (bottom floor NE corner from the pool with deck), they should be condemned now!

OMG! Do not stay here! Door looks like it has been broken into! Bedding smells! Paint chipping in room! Landscaping is terrible! I can't say enough about this place! Non refundable! TERRIBLE! Enamel in bathtub chipping! Beds are are hard! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING APPEALING ABOUT THIS PLACE! DO NOT STAY HERE! AWFUL!

We recently booked a reservation for 3 nights at International Palms Resort In May for November. Luckily we only drove 1 hour to this resort. We arrived to find a sign in the front glass doors to lobby.. CLOSED PERMENANTLY We just drove back home after a quick lunch and short look at the ocean. Good thing we were not out of state visitors. We have stay at this resort many times and it was always being renovated. Looks like there were big problems at this property forcing them to close. Traveluro booked our reservations and refunded our money. Trip Advisor and Traveluro need to take this resort off of your travel desination list.

An excellent dining experience, we would give it 7 out of 5. Take your time and interact with Christine and the chef; it’s such an intimate setting and a perfect opportunity to learn more about this Teesside culinary artform. Remember to pay attention to the Chicken as well as the fish. The chefs spend years perfecting their art and consider it as important as all the other ingredients. Soak it all in – the tradition, the skill, the respect, the service, all amounting to the quintessential dining experience.
