A TRUE 5 star hotel! We stayed in the Yacht Suites & the roo, balcony & view were spectacular! Service was impeccable from the moment we called to make the reservation till the moment we left. Staff is well-trained & extremely efficient & friendly. The lime water in the lobby is a nice touch! The grounds are so beautiful & tranquil, they beg to be enjoyed with a leisurely stroll. The restaurants were good; nothing spectacular, but better than having to leave the property! Room service was exceptional; eggs cooked to perfection, steaming coffee, fresh juice; all served by a very helpful waiter. (a bit costly, but woth the luxury of eating in bed!) Hopefully we'll return again this October. It was a real treat!

Stayed here for a romantic getaway/tennis weekend. Pricey, clearly a "destination" hotel but lacks some attention to detail, probably as a result of being so large. Even recently renovated Tower rooms were not as sleek as rooms like at W hotels. I heard Cloister rooms were worse but heard positive things about Beach Club. Breakfast buffet was good, fairly reasonable at $29. Could hear noise from adjacent rooms, which surprised me given priciness of rooms. Centrally-located. Staff were friendly but forgot to call us when room was ready (waited 2 hours after being told it would be a short time) but made up for it by allowing needed late check-out.

I've been to the Boca Raton Resort twice, both times for conferences. What a wonderful location to attend to business, but also offers avenues of escape. Beach is very good! Restaurants are actually worth staying in the hotel for (the breakfast buffet is magnificent). My only complaint was that neither time did I stay in the tower. My rooms in this otherwise attractive hotel, were quite ordinary. They were clean and well-appointed, but very standard.
I would like to come back, though with the prices they charge, I might have to stick to conferences and their special rates.

I have been staying at this hotel at least once a year for the last 20 years and it has gone through a lot of changes (refurbishing, several owners, etc.). I stay in the Tower which has lovely rooms (most overlooking either the inland waterway or the golf course). Try to get a room on a higher floor as rooms on lower floors have views blocked by the roofs of other buildings. I haven't stayed in the Cloister rooms for several years but am told the rooms are smaller and most lack views. The restaurants are first rate. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel adds $20 a day to your charges to cover tips, newspaper, coffee in room, etc. (although we always run into a few who seem to expect a tip).
