The Breakers Palm Beach

I had some experience dealing with this hotel as a returning guest so this stay was significantly better than my previous July visit. They gave good pre-arrival suggestions as to celebrating our anniversary at the hotel and arranged us good tables including at the Seafood Bar which normally does not take reservations. We had excellent service at that dinner. We had a nice fruit and cheese platter and chocolates on arrival and rose pedals in the bedroom at night. Our deluxe suite 3192 had better ocean views than the 2091 or 2093 suite I had last time and it was closer to the pools. The bathroom in the suite is excellent and I liked that the shower controls were away from the shower head. I had to call in maintenance because the AC at night keeps shifting to automatic rather than keep the room at a cool constant temperature. This is a very annoying money-saving trend in hotels and they shouldn't do it in suites that are costing over $2,000 a night. Breakfast buffet in the Circle room is magnificent in every respect. As an Amex FHR amenity, it's really great. I enjoyed the early check-in at noon and the late checkout. We ate at several outlets here and enjoyed all of them; some of the F&B prices are high but the quality is excellent and the portions are really for 2 anyway, so if you are sharing the prices are fine. Only thing I don't really like here is the gym. It was crowded and I couldn't get a treadmill and some of them did not even work. This place needs a larger gym. The ocean was closed the whole weekend due to high rip tides but that's not the hotel's fault. It does mean that if you come to Palm Beach, you might not get the ocean, but the rest of the place is great and I really like flying in and out of the local airport. Most important to me was that although this is a large hotel, if the concierge staff wants to look after you and if you let them know you want them to, they can do a good job of making your stay go great.

What struck me most was the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth from every staff member we encountered. The rooms were immaculate, with those little thoughtful touches that make all the difference. The common areas invited socializing while still maintaining peaceful spots for solitude. The breakfast spread was a highlight of each morning.

What an amazing place, so many pools, beautiful views, exercise classes, pool activities, great food and very friendly staff. Expensive but well worth it. Several restaurants, cafes and shopping. Walk across the bridge to west palm beach for more shopping and more restaurants.

Overall incredible hotel - from the minute you pull up til your departure, everything is done incredibly well. The suites are beautiful and well thought out. The facilities are comprehensive and superb. The staff excellent. We have been there twice recently and plan on going back every so often bc it is so enjoyable. The only caveat is it is expensive. If you are looking for a bargain, this is not it.

Amazing resort, has it all. Families welcome with facilities, amazing customer service and delicious food. From check in to check out seamless. Buffet breakfast delicious . We been dining at Echo, Flaglers for many years as well as HMF lounge and Henry’s since inception. All tremendous. Beach front , spa and gym superb.
