For cruise-ship passengers who can't wait to get under way, this splashy resort, done up in pink and turquoise, already feels like the Caribbean. Guest room decor is simple and restrained, but the pool is lushly landscaped and features a cascading waterfall, tiki bar, and occasional appearances by the "Radisson parrots," about a dozen wild birds who call the resort home. This resort, a little south of Port Canaveral, is not on the ocean, but only a short ride away.
The four-story Residence Inn is one of the closest all-suite hotels to the Kennedy Space Center. Considerably larger than traditional hotel rooms, the one- and two-bedroom suites include a full kitchen (dishwasher and all) and separate living and sleeping areas. The morning buffet and manager's reception are popular with guests. It is also convenient to other area attractions such as Port Canaveral, the Cocoa Beach Pier, the Brevard Zoo, and Cocoa Village, and is only an hour from Walt Disney World.
