The Boca Raton Beach Club

Previously a Waldorf Astoria resort, the Boca Raton Beach Club is now an independent property undergoing a multimillion dollar renovation as part of a project the property calls "A New Golden Era." Despite the ongoing construction, reviewers are still blown away by the service and amenities, though they do warn prices are sky-high. Along with three oceanfront pools and a private stretch of beach, guests are also granted access to all of the exclusive amenities found at the members-only Boca Raton Club, including its tennis courts and golf course. Plus, visitors can access the facilities of the larger Boca Raton resort, including its fitness center and 50,000-square-foot spa. Rooms at the beach club are outfitted in an airy, beachy style, with muted tones of blue, gray and sage, and are equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, Nespresso coffee makers, Molton Brown toiletries, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and separate rainfall showers. Outside their digs, lodgers can retreat to two new Colin Cowie venues, including the beachside Marisol, which serves Greek dishes. Note that a daily $45 resort fee includes a complimentary in-room minibar and snacks, resort bikes, a beach bag, fitness classes, and beach chairs and towels, among other amenities.
