Port Canaveral vs Cocoa Beach Hotels

I have been going over and over the old threads and still can't get a clear picture.........are there advantages, other than being closer to port, into staying at Port Canaveral Hotels versus the many Cocoa Beach Hotels. Not thinking about price right now or restaurants. More about pretty area, beach access, places to visit.

Thank you!

The Canaveral hotels are very transient (cruisers mostly) whereas folks actually vacation at several Cocoa Beach hotels for weeks if not months. The reasons are the ones you mentioned - closer to the beach and family activities other than pools!

Here is a detailed description of the different areas - http://cruiseportcanaveral.us/hotels/

It is important to remember there are different clusters of hotels within Cocoa Beach and even Cape Canaveral (holiday inn Resort for example) that serve certain needs better than others. The hotels are not all along the beach for example. The article above describe this in detail.
