International Palms Oceanfront Cocoa Beach Resort

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.

I am from Trinidad and Tobago and was visiting family in Charlotte NC. I was fortunate to have visited this Museum and Mr. Darren McGill took his time to take us around. Mr. McGill is extremely knowledgeable and the emotion with which he described the historical scenes made you feel as though you were right there. I recommend that this Museum be on your ‘to-do’ list. Excellent place especially for children. Thank you!

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.

I was booking hotels for a family vacation in Florida. I was kind of tired of planning and making reservations, I saw this hotel's website and it looked pretty good. I didn't bother to read reviews, but I sure wish I had. In my entire life I have never been to a hotel this bad. The lobby looks ok, nothing fancy but nothing to worry about. There was actually a line to check-in and three employees working at the desk. We checked in and headed to our room. In driving to our parking lot, a lot of the buildings just look old. Not painted, abandoned, handles missing on the doors, etc. I thought it was just some older Florida hotel, but the rooms would be nice. How wrong I was. Unlocked the door. The stench of mold hits us as we open the door. The room is absolutely awful. There entire wall is moldy, not just a bit, the entire wall. The beds look disgusting and not something I'd ever want to sleep on. I took two steps into the room. Then just said, NOPE, and walked immediately back to the lobby. There is no way I would ever stay in this room. It was the Artemis 1 launch weekend so the town was pretty much sold out, but I'd rather sleep in my car than sleep in this room. The front desk worker immediately gave us a refund. She didn't seem surprised, I guess this happens all the time. I'm not some person who has to have a perfect hotel room. I've stayed in 3rd world countries at places that cost $2 a night. This was the worst hotel I've ever seen in my life. Their website is a complete scam, it is nothing like what is shown on the website. Basically to sum it up, DO NOT STAY HERE.

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!

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!

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!
