We were pleasantly surprised at how much we liked Las Olas Beach Club. Trying unsuccessfully to get into an RCI property on either Sanibel Island or Captiva, Cocoa Beach popped up as available for the time we wanted to go. We took a chance since it is a gold crown property. We were given a two bedroom unit facing the ocean. What a beautiful and well maintained condo, and, of course, the view was spectacular. The staff, especially Alan, are friendly and helpful. There are many great restaurants in the area. The Mango Tree was our favorite, but there are other great suggestions listed in the newsletter. The pool area is very small...not what we're used to...but there was always somewhere to sit. I don't know if this would be true during a busier season, but we didn't have a problem with it. Over all, I'd give Las Olas a spot on my list of favorite vacation destinations.

We got into Las Olas through an RCI exchange for spring break. We has a 2 bedroom condo. The rooms are very spacious and our family of four is comfortably accommodated. The furniture and decor is a little dated but nothing is worn out or in bad condition. Every offseason they work to modernize (this year they replaced another TV in all the units with a flatscreen), so expect this to continue to improve. Located right on the beach with its own private access. About a dozen chairs, some beach toys, and a couple umbrellas are available for guests to borrow free of charge. We chose to use our own chairs for convenience, but their supplies would work fine. There's a small pool (4 ft deep) and a spa located on property as well. The activities coordinators do a great job of getting special deals for the guests, so make sure you attend the weekly meeting to cash in on these discounts. Our favorite was Surf Lessons with Lani, who is able to beat the prices of big stores like Ron Jon by a significant margin, and gives a further discount to Las Olas guests. Overall a great community feel and a great place to stay, but needs a little interior updating.

I go to the Las Olas Beach Club nearly every year. It is well managed and run, clean, extremely well-maintained and it has a great location. Over the years family and friends have accompanied me there and they are always so happy with the place. The people who run the condos have been there for years and years, which makes the place feel like home when you come back again.

The people who come here range from young to old. People are very friendly - you'll definitely get to know folks down at the pool. At the same time there are so many things to do down at the pier, in greater Cocoa Beach, in the countryside (airboat rides, horse back riding, fishing) or in Orlando, a short drive away.

I love having a huge, well equipped kitchen. It is so nice to hop up from the pool or the beach, whip up some lunch, then have it on the balcony overlooking the palm trees and the beach. Or you can use the poolside grills to barbeque some ribs or sear some tuna steaks. Fresh, right off the boat seafood is available at the Port Canveral dock seafood shop.

I would highly recommend Las Olas.
