Coco Key Hotel & Water Park

International Drive, Orlando

Virgin rating

The hotel

Not only does CoCo Key offer great family rooms with plenty of space in the heart of Orlando, it boasts it's own water park too — one of the best in the area! With 14 slides, three heated pools and a state-of-the-art gaming arcade, kids of all ages can play to their hearts content all day, every day. You're also just a hop and a skip away from a myriad of Orlando attractions (including the theme parks), so there's never a dull moment! And although restaurants abound (you can walk to over 50 restaurants and shops), The Tradewinds Restaurant on-site is a great place to dine, feasting on deep south favourites, followed by amazing dessert selections. A daily entertainment program means the kids will be making friends in no time, including movies screened by the pool and interesting activities that are hosted by the hotel staff. Look for the hotel mascot CoCo in the morning and afternoon for photo opportunities.

Excellent Paid breakfast was good!! Customer Service was good, (when I returned home to Canada, I had question about the billing (on my Credit card). I called the hotel: The girl who answered the phone was to patience and nice, we went over the charges. Good The Water Park- even though it was January we still managed one day to use the Water park. (My kids (2 and 4) loved it) **January is not a good month if you’re looking for water play in Orlando (FYI) The location is great: Across the street is pizza, souvenir shop and Candy shop. Okay The rooms are very basic. Bad I had the tap beer from the water park bar ..it was horrible..just get the cans Advice In Orlando avoid basing your hotel (on free shuttle buses offers) ..better to pick a location like this (aside from Room comfort) and uber it. Uber from the airport as well. Even with kids my age. Read less

We had two rooms in block 8. They put groups with multiple rooms in conjoining rooms, the conjoining door was in the back wall of the room, so the rooms were back to back rather than next to each other.

We had two rooms in block 8. They put groups with multiple rooms in conjoining rooms, the conjoining door was in the back wall of the room, so the rooms were back to back rather than next to each other. In our case the door was jammed shut so the walk from one room to another was actually quite far. One room was facing the car park. This room was fine. The other room was facing the undercover pool. This resulted in a few issues: The air conditioning vent was in the front of the room, facing the pool. So it was sucking in moist, chlorine-smelling air into the room. This resulted in a room that I don’t think was actually damp but stank of damp. To the extent that when we got home any clean clothes had to be washed anyway because of the smell. As the room faced the undercover pool no natural light got into the room. The room didn’t have a ceiling light, only a wall light that wasn’t very bright and a lamp. So in the middle of the day in the Florida sunshine there was so little light in the room even with the lights on that I had to use the torch on my phone to look through my suitcase. The lights in the bathroom were bright. The above resulted in a really unpleasant dank room. Neither of the rooms had any wardrobes or drawers to put our things in. There was an iron but it didn’t work. The hairdryer was good. There was a fridge and a safe, we didn’t use the safe but the fridge was too cold and froze everything we put in there. The other downside of being by the undercover pool is that all the entertainment takes place by this pool. Several nights a week there would be loud music playing until late at night. It was so loud that I couldn’t hear the tv that was 2 feet from the end of the bed. Apart from one of the two rooms being unpleasant there were some positives: All the staff I encountered were very helpful, polite and friendly. There was a Starbucks in the hotel. It was more expensive than normal but we were given a 15% discount card on arrival which made it about normal price. The outside pool was nice with complimentary towels and sufficient sun beds. Free I-ride passes. The I-ride isn’t expensive but they only accept the correct cash so this saved having to worry about having dollar bills. The location is good. We were able to walk to universal studios (about 30 minutes) but there is a shuttle bus. There is a shuttle to Disney too. There is a Denny’s and a Dunkin next door and other restaurants close by. We really enjoyed chili’s and Chuys. If you have children below a certain age I think this could be a good hotel as the waterpark is included in the price. However, we don’t have children so didn’t benefit from the noisy water park. We have previously stayed at the Rosen Inn next door and would probably choose this hotel over coco key for future trips.

Kanye and Takia have been amazing. Highlight of our trip was their customer service. Efficient and friendly! This was our first year doing valet. They made it easy for our family to enjoy our vacation. We will be coming here each year we vacation. Thank you!
