Discovery Beach Resort, a VRI Resort

We stayed at Discovery Beach the first week of June, and we had a tough time accepting the fact we gave up a wonderful resort for a trade to this place. We bought our timeshare in 1987, and still to this day our resort is a top-notch, very high-demand resort. We have traded to resorts overseas, and all over the United States as well as to several areas in Canada. I have no idea what Discovery Beach is doing with its maintenance fees. It was incredible how trashed this place was; they hadn’t done any maintenance to the rooms in many years. I had live roaches coming out of my dishwasher, and yes, I included a couple of photos of the inside of the dishwasher. There are bug parts on the front inner lip of the dishwasher. The inside appears to have never been cleaned out, and still, to this day I have no idea how roaches manage to live under the screen of the dishwasher. Not only were roaches inside the dishwasher, but I spent the entire week killing roaches all over the unit. The chairs were terrible, they must have been 20 years old, I included a photo of one of the chairs, every single dining room looked the same; just like something you would pick up at a Goodwill Store. The coffee table weighed 30 pounds or more, it had a granite top on the coffee table. I kept waiting for the leg to fall off whenever it was moved due to the weight. The patio furniture was made from PVC pipe. Our master bathroom faucet had corrosion through the body, it was nasty; I also included a photo of the faucet. The water line to the toilet was rusted, having been there many years. The toilet was difficult to flush and must be original with the resort. Where does the maintenance fee go? The fees certainly do go to replacing anything. The staff was rude, the person who had any sense of politeness was the lady who worked midweek at the towel exchange. She was very pleasant, and a prime example for others to follow. I came down early evening one night looking for my daughter-in-law and was followed by one of the staff, and he finally said “Do you need something”? It was as though I was some crook coming in to take stuff, very condescending. I had my stupid yellow band on my wrist to show I belonged inside the lobby of the resort. My laundry room door fell off the hinges and was hanging by one roller. I took the door off the guide and laid the door against a bedroom wall. There were pieces that fell to the floor, so I gathered up the pieces and took them down to the front desk. I asked for a maintenance person, and the gentleman working the front desk said: “What do you need”. I explained to him I wanted to talk with the maintenance guy, and the gentleman said, what is it you need? I dumped the parts from the roller and guide on his desk and told the gentleman I wanted to give these broken parts that belong to the laundry room door to the maintenance guy, he may need these parts when he goes to fix the door. There are other stories, but I wi

We had a really nice stay at Discovery Beach! Honestly it’s pretty dated, like really dated, but it was very clean, the staff are super kind and accommodating and it was a great home base for our Florida holiday. Footsteps to the pier, on what we feel is our favorite beach to visit. We were lucky to see a Space X Falcon launch and the staff gave us some insider tips on where to watch, it was spectacular. There is a restaurant and bar on site, games room etc. There is covered parking for those big rain falls. It was a really great place, we would recommend to friends or family.

The staff at this resort are excellent. Very accommodating. Things were broken inside this unit, including a dishwasher, but the staff replaced them immediately. Management has clearly let this place go, however. Things are old outdated and rundown. Definitely time for an update in the units.

I expected a king bed, and all they have are queen beds. We paid for an ocean front condo, and we couldn’t even see the ocean because of high shrubs blocking the view. They also didn’t have decent WiFi, it wouldn’t hold on our phones, and they didn’t allow streaming on the TV’s to receive Netflix, or other options. There was also no outdoor hose or water available to wash off feet from the beach.

Hotel is just ok. Staff is rude and not helpful at all. Many other hotels in the area where you are treated better. Disappointing. After excellent 2 weeks in thailand, i go home with bad last impression thanks to this rude personel. Otherwise, clean and nice rooms

Well cared for older facility with great staff, activities and location. Staff are friendly and go above and beyond. Settled nicely on the beach, just off Cocoa Beach Pier. We even were able to watch a rocket launch from Kennedy Space Centre from our beach. You won’t be disappointed.

I love this place. The heated pool hot tub sauna and restuarant. Best clam chowder ever. Great location and Nearby shopping . Close to pier and cruise port.very friendly staff. Also saw a rocket from our balcony

Great amount of space for families. We had 2 BR unit and sleeper sofa in living room, so 5-6 people no problem. The sleeper sofa is not that comfortable though - but that's usually the case. All rooms face the ocean, although 2nd floor the trees block a bit of the view, but it's also a nice view and you see some Florida wildlife. Outdoor pool is heated - I'm thinking upper 70s? Warm enough to swim even if the air temperature is colder. Hot tub is nice too. We didn't use the basketball or tennis courts that are on top of the garage, but they look in good shape. Plenty of parking. Staff seemed nice. Property overall is in good condition. Good location, grocery store nearby - full kitchen helps families save money for eating. This is our second time staying here and probably won't be the last!

Great place at a great price. I went in January to see rockets being launched at Cape Canaveral, Cocoa beach is the place to be for that and this hotel was great. It's not band new, but not outdated, clean, quiet and everything I need.
