Virgin rating

The hotel

Whether it’s a relaxing break after a week in Orlando’s theme parks you’re after, or a perfect spot either side of your Caribbean cruise, Hilton Cocoa Beach is an ideal option to add on to your trip for a few nights of chilling out on the waterfront. The oceanfront pool deck is largest on the Space Coast, and accompanied by the Tiki bar offer up the chance to relax and unwind in the sun with a cocktail in hand, overlooking the sparkling Atlantic. If you’re still after something more to occupy the family; the hotel is just minutes from Kennedy Space Centre to keep the kids both educated and entertained. Water sports including surfing, boogie boarding and snorkelling. Kid-sized boogie boards are also available as well as surfing lessons for all ages and skill ratings. Alternatively, grab some team mates and get stuck into a game of volleyball. Salt Restaurant overlooks the ocean and is a favourite hotspot for seafood, steaks and traditional fare. Before you settle there for the evening, however, enjoy a drink special in Longboards Tiki Beach Grille, listening to some live music perhaps. In the Salt Lounge you can catch up on all the latest news from NASA and, if your holiday coincides with a rocket launch, just head outside — it’ll be easily visible from the beach!

⭐☆☆☆☆ Disrespectful Staff and Disappointing Experience—Avoid This Hotel I’ve stayed at many Hilton properties as a loyal Gold member, but my experience at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront was shockingly disappointing and disrespectful. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that guest satisfaction was not a priority at this property. After a long three-hour drive, I was told I had to wait until nearly 4 PM to check in, despite selecting my room through the digital key system the morning before. The front desk staff, particularly a larger woman with a Southern accent, was rude, condescending, and dismissive. She spoke over me, used a sarcastic tone, and made me feel unwelcome. She even changed my room without my request or explanation, further delaying the process. To make matters worse, when I decided to check if my room was ready, I found it was already cleaned and available. I received a notification that my room was ready 15 minutes after I was already in it! The lack of basic communication and consideration was unacceptable. As a Hilton Gold member, I’ve come to expect certain benefits, but this property flat-out denied me those benefits, claiming I couldn’t receive them because I booked through American Express. This has NEVER been an issue at any other Hilton property. It felt like they were finding excuses to deny me what I had earned through my loyalty to Hilton. The room itself was uncomfortable. The temperature was stuck at 71 degrees and couldn’t be adjusted. When I requested a late checkout, I was told 12 PM was the absolute latest, even though Gold members are typically granted 2 PM or later. The staff’s lack of flexibility and unwillingness to accommodate basic requests made me feel like my loyalty meant nothing to them. This experience was not just disappointing—it was downright disrespectful. The staff’s attitude made it clear that guests are an inconvenience to them, and it’s honestly baffling how such unprofessional behavior is tolerated at a Hilton-branded hotel. The beachfront location might seem appealing, but don’t be fooled—this property doesn’t deserve your business. Save yourself the frustration and choose a hotel that values its guests. Read less

Great place to stay on the beach! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great food options and fair prices. We came here for 1 night and were made aware of a rocket launch that we got to witness from the end of hotel pier to beach. Will be back and stay here again.

We love staying at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront. Antoinette was absolutely outstanding! She is definitely an asset to the Hilton organization! She really made our stay special and we will be back to see her and Timmothy the bellman. Great place to visit.
