Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral
1 mi from Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal
9009 Astronaut Blvd, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920
via Agoda
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront
7 mi from Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal
1 Hendry Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
About this hotel
Oceanfront at 1 Hendry Ave, right beside the Cocoa Beach Pier, but about 7 miles and 15-25 minutes from the cruise terminals. An older beach property; variable. Around $109-129 for a beachfront room with free breakfast is the cheapest way to spend the night before on the sand. Adequate. Outdoor pool with a bar, balconies, direct beach access. Watch out: no cruise parking and no terminal shuttle, so the car and the transfer are both your problem; note this is a different hotel from the La Quinta Inn at 1275 N Atlantic Ave.
Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral
3.5 mi from Port Canaveral Cruise Terminal
5600 N Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
About this hotel
Beachfront at the north end of Cocoa Beach, the closest beach hotel to the port. Refreshed but a mixed record. Full hot breakfast buffet, two heated pools and direct beach access at around $129-154. Used to cruise mornings. Fire pit terrace, poolside bar and an on-site grill restaurant, so dinner needs no car. Watch out: rebranded to 'Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral', so older listings use the old name; the Park & Cruise package price and parking day count are not published anywhere.
