Other writing have indicated the place needs a facelift. True! But the economy is lousy there and the space center is no longer going to be a viable economic force unless the private sector makes it happen. The staff is really very helpful and courteous. We were a bit worried when we arrived but, over time, we thought the place was pretty cool! The resort restaurant is incredibly affordable with good food and a friendly staff too. This is a nice place for folks with modest retirement incomes. A trip to the Space Center is an absolute must, and there is a senior discount. The Savannahs Golf Course is a real bargain on certain days of the week, and a very fair, but challenging, track. And,above all, IT IS QUIET! We will be back.

I stayed here with some friends for 5 nights.
Let me start out with the positive things first.
The location is excellent.
The condo was very clean.
Well stocked kitchen complete with Cutco knifes.
Great view from the very large balcony.
Maureen the activities person was very nice.
The live music by the pool one day was super.
Pool was nice but on the small side.
Here's the downside.
I agree with other posts the lobby did have a very stale odor.
The beds and pillows need to be replaced.
My feet were super dirty after walking around the unit so from then on I kept my sandals on.
This is minor but a tv in the extra bedroom would have been nice.
The worst thing was my departure day the water was turned off with no warning! We asked how long they thought it would be off and they said maybe an hour. Turned out to be more like 2 1/2 hrs! Had I known they were going to do this I would have taken a shower before they turned it off. Nothing worse then traveling with sand and suntan lotion all over you.They said they didn't know it was going to be turned off. Really!? It didn't get turned back before I needed to get ready to leave so I had to take a shower with one gallon of water that I asked for. I feel sorry for the people who may have been in the middle of their shower and the water was turned off.Interesting that the whole first floor had water so the restaurant could still be open. This was not handled well at all. They could have offered a complementary lunch or something~ not that it would change the situation but it would have been a good PR move. So I guess I should be thankful for the gallon of water and an I'm sorry.
I wad a guest of my friends so I didn't pay for the condo. So that's good. If I had I would have made more of an issue. I don't this will be a future destination for me.

After checking in and having to sign out the luggage rack, I wasn't sure that this was where I wanted to spend a whole week. The first glance at the condo room made me wonder the same thing, as it is truly a step back in time, decor-wise. They still use real keys too! But, the place kinda grows on you and you start to not notice the 80's decor. The condo was super clean and the location of the Resort is wonderful. We spent very little time at the resort -- went golfing, kayaking, a day at the Kennedy Space Center, and other sightseeing, so cannot report much about the activities during the day. We did take in the Beach Walk -- lead by the Activities Director, who was very sweet and fun, although she could learn a few more details about what she is showing people -- it was a very light introduction of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the presentation one evening by the Jungle Adventures Nature Park and Zoo representative -- if you are going to this, bring along your camera and a couple of bucks -- we went empty-handed. Other things I would suggest you might like to bring would include binoculars as there are many cruise ships coming and going, and some just killing time prior to taking their turn into Port Canaveral. They are directly in front of the resort. Also bring your own shampoo, etc. There are no extras other than soap in the condo. You'll need some laundry supplies if you plan to do more than 1 load of wash -- there was a sample-size box of Tide provided. If you think you'll need scissors, bring them. The kitchen is fairly well appointed, but no scissors. Free parking is plentiful. Free Internet WiFi was great and truly appreciated -- one of the main things I look for in my RCI Exchanges! There is an alarm clock in the Master Bedroom (and a second TV), but the second bedroom has neither, in case that matters. I would not hesitate in recommending this resort.

Let me start off from my first impression. Honestly, I was concerned. The resort looked worn from the outside and not very clean. I thought the lobby smelled. The elevators flat out stunk. I looked at my husband and we sort of exchanged an uh oh look. Still, we had driven all the way to Florida and we were tired and decided to approach with a positive attitude. My first impression of the room was that it was very spacious. I loved the large balcony. We were on the second floor so we could see the ocean and the foliage that seperates the dunes from the hotel property.I will say both of our bathrooms needed help. There was some rust and the fans were super loud. Our bedrooms seemed more updated. The linens and the mattresses seemed new. Our washer and dryer worked but again, rusted. One thing about the resort which I loved were the wild cats. There are wild cats that live in the foliage outside. They are fed by the resort and are protected by the Brevard SPCA. They dont go near you but they are fun to watch. The resort was very close to the ocean and it was nice to hear the waves and be such a short walk from them. We were also pleased that we didnt have to go far at all for groceries. There is a store within walking distance. There were plenty of places to eat on Merrit Island, which is a very short drive. Olive Garden, Carrabas, Outback, Longhorn Steakhouse.. I dont know if we would stay at Discovery again but we did enjoy Cocoa Beach.
