The hotel

Split between Harbourside and Beachside, there are 200 private, tropical acres to explore at the new golden era of the historic Boca Raton resort. Having undergone a massive transformation, this beautifully exclusive hotel is great for adding on to a Miami or Orlando trip, for that beachside relaxation and indulgence. One iconic resort, made up of 5 distinct hotels, the Baca Raton offers a variety of accommodations from beachfront suites to bungalows hidden away in the gardens. From poolside relaxation to thrilling waterfront adventure, there are a host of activities on offer, not least the ‘extraordinaty experiences’ such as private boat trips, sunset dining, or for golf enthusiasts, ‘The Course Is Yours’, which closes off the 18-hole championship course for you to enjoy exclusively, complete with branded apparel and sunset drinks to round off the day. Whilst there is a VIP feel to the resort, it’s great for any ages. The Banyan bunch kids club offers a fantastic activity schedule for the little ones, whilst the splash pad and 5-story water slides offer perfect respite for them on a hot day in the Sunshine state. Whilst they’re entertained, be sure to book in for a treatment at Spa Palerma, a 50,000sq ft secluded oasis offering indulgent experiences such as the Diamond Facial and Gemstone Body Ritual. However you choose to spend your day here, there are plenty of options when it comes to staying fed and hydrated, with 10 restaurants, bars ,and cafes serving up everything from grab and go items to fine dining.

A premier, luxe property where the service, ambiance, food, and amenities are all top shelf. We come here every couple of years for a professional conference, but this was our last year. I'm going to miss it so much! It's not a cookie-cutter chain resort but one of a kind and worth a visit

Spent 4 days at The Boca Raton or our 15th wedding anniversary in June 2025. We were upgraded to a suite with a balcony, over looking the Bocce court. We enjoyed Beachside, taking the water taxi over(the cold water they hand out on the boat was delish) Beach service was great, adult pool at Beach Club was amazing, the lounge chairs were so comfy and we enjoyed drinks at the pool. We ate at Harbor House our first night, it was delish, we just had pizza and it was so good. We did eat at Japanese Bocce club- food was unreal- my husband had the oysters and sushi and was so happy. We had dinner on our Anniversary at Flamingo Grill- it was soo good, bext steaks we have had in awhile. Only downside was it was miserably hot and my husband wore shorts and a nice top and we had to sit in the lounge bc he did not have pants on. There were kids in the dining room not in dress pants, so just felt kindy icky. But our service was good and food was delish. We ate at the harborside pool for lunch a couple of days and it was tasty. We will be back. Read less

Stayed three nights at Beachside part of property in early June. Two rooms for the family in partial ocean view rooms. Property was bought by MSD Capital and has done a major revamp. Note, hotel and it's facilities are part of a high end club, and there are certain aras, like on the beach, that are reserved for members only. Pros - hotel was just remodeled (beach side, at least) - once on property, very little reason to leave if you're their for vacation - excellent beach, plenty of chairs and water sport rentals available - friendly staff, and tipping is not expected Cons - expensive, notably the food on site is pricey, but very good - despite having a lot of dining options at the Beach and Harborside locations, couldn't get a reservation a couple of times, most notably at the Japanese restaurant Would I stay again? Definitely during off season (Memorial Day though Labor Day), when all the snow birds go north and Boca empties out. Property never felt crowded, despite restaurants being full. Not sure I would pay the higher rates during peak season, especially as I hear it gets very crowded. But the off season vibe is great. Read less

We decided to try this hotel after The Breakers at Palm Beach. The property is beautiful. The beach is better. We stayed in the bungalows but probably should have gone for the original hotel. The crowd and vibe are different than at The Breakers at Palm, but we still had a good time. This property overall is one notch below The Breakers, but… Read more

This was our first time at this hotel and it was top three worst days of my entire life. From the time we checked in, we were supposed to be close to a room with the rest of our family and not only did the man at the front desk immediately shut me down before looking he also had an attitude, and it wasn’t until one of the managers stepped in where he even attempted to look at the system to see if he can make anything work, which he could not. Time after time even before we arrived. We were trying to get restaurant reservations, and they assured me that they would follow up with confirmation about us sitting together or reservation times and never once did I ever get any form of communication whether it was a call an email or a text message like they assured me and this happened no less than 10 times While we were staying on property and before we even got there. Over and over they gave a bad attitude when we would get to the restaurant and requested for us to be sitting together, even though one person would say we were and then we would get there and they would say we wouldn’t but like I said no one would even return my call or communicate with me for any form of confirmation. When we got to our room, the fruit that we requested was not there and instead they gave us little oranges which is the one fruit. I said my son gets inflammation so they didn’t even read the notes and did not care. The childcare services are ridiculous spending $50 per child per hour is more expensive than any other luxury hotel and not only that no one was even available so for me to have childcare options so I could go work out in the morning doesn’t exist there because the kids club doesn’t even open until 10 AM! There was zero options to make that happen so that is a major flaw and problem and honestly they should have something complementary for kids so adults could go work out, which could even be separate from their kids club and maybe cap the time to three hours so adults can go work out in the morning otherwise there are no options for this and the lack of concern or care for anything that had gone wrong on the trip was very very noticeable. The first night we went to the sushi restaurant and it took two hours for my kids to get their food and we got there before anybody else had gotten to the restaurant at 5 PM in the entire restaurant was completely full and people had gotten their food by the time my kids got their food, which was Ridiculous and the manager would not even come over to apologize or see if there was anything that they could do he just did not care at all. We finally left and took the kids somewhere else to eat.The experience just kept getting worse and worse worse Read less
