International Palms Oceanfront Cocoa Beach Resort

This place has some serious potential. Unfortunately it needs to be gutted and renovated. The electricity is SCARY! When you turn on the bathroom light, there is a loud pop above the bed in the room. Outlets are half out of the wall- literally. The woman working the front desk was EXTREMELY kind and helpful. The location was nice. The pool was packed, but was a nice space. Take “fitness center” off the list of amenities right NOW! Way overpriced for the dump of a hotel, but again- it COULD be wonderful.

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!

Booked room online based on photos and Amenities. The tub had been painted over. When you took a bath the paint would be floating in the water. The refrigerator was rusted and leaked water. The floor was so dirty. I had to clean it. Advertised bar and restaurant open, breakfast spot and bar were open just 1 day. The TV had a snowy picture, maintenance person, explained that is the picture. They don’t have cable. Really unbelievable!

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.
