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.

Fantastic experience!Our vacation started with meeting the most efficient ,professional and most helpful receptionist Mo, he was just brilliant. Everyone & everything in the hotel was really nice ….however 2 things I’d recommend to improve would be related to food.First :breakfast menu could have had wider variety & second was the waiting time on food order during the day could be shorter(some days it took 45 minutes waiting for cheeseburger! Otherwise :Really good location (loads of shops across the road,including the grocery shops )nice & clean rooms , great pools,(plenty complimentary towels at each pool ,few little shops and Starbucks on site were very usefull too.Looking forward to come back myself & highly recommender to anyone!!

My boyfriend grew up in North Carolina and he’s been wanting to take me to an authentic North Carolina barbecue spot so we came here after a dog park day and I am in love. Fried pickles fried okra and pulled pork are bomb!!! Also the owner or server was so kind. Will be coming back for sure

We were a group of 19 people, aged 5 to 79 years old. We loved the location as there were quite a few eating places within walking distance. We took the free trolley to Universal studios which was a nice touch. Please read the fine print as the resort and parking fees added up - especially since we had 6 rooms. They did not give us a break on the resort fees, even though they acknowledged how much money we spent ($1000 in resort fees alone). We did not eat on the resort and enjoyed the surrounding restaurants. The kids enjoyed the pool as some of the water slides were closed during the stay (again, making the sting of the fees hurt even more). We had views of the parking lot. Our flight was at 10 pm and they made us pay $45 for a 4pm checkout . So, they get you every way with the fees. Although the rooms were cleaned on 2 days, they were not cleaned on the other 2. We made our own beds and they were just as comfortable. I often travel this week to Orlando each year, but might try a different resort the next time. Read less

All around very great stay from the beds to the water park. The family had a great time. Erik was great and very helpful and helped us out and into our rides. Very happy with the stay and everyone there. The breakfast if you get it included is worth it. Very good food and the staff were awesome.
