Run, Run Rudolph

The holidays are a great time of year filled with delicious food, fun with family, and incredible parties with friends. However, during the busy holidays, it is not always easy to make time for your workouts. If you are looking for an active event for you and your family to participate in this year, then you will want to check out the Cape Canaveral Reindeer Run on Saturday, December 14. This festive 5k, with unbelievable ocean views, is just the thing to help burn off some of the extra holiday calories. The starting line is only about 15 minutes from the International Palms Resort. All participants in the race are encouraged to dress as their favorite holiday characters. Every year, there is a wide variety of Santas, Rudolphs, elves, and even Frosty the Snowmen. All of the fun begins at 8 am, so make sure you rest up the night before the race!

“The buffet was delicious”

The buffet was fresh and delicious. The kids loved making their own waffles and they tasted really good. Our server Patty was awesome. This is our second time here in 2 weeks and we will definitely be back here again

“Enjoyed Our Pre-Cruise Loft!!!”

We stayed here before our cruise with as a group of four friends and had a great time!... We really enjoyed the tiki bar -- the rum buckets were great! Live music was also nice on Friday night. There were quite a few family friendly amenities and the property was right next to the beach. Would stay again!
