I think we were lucky to have been assigned a bungalow suite when we stayed on Feb 4-7, 2013! The room is large, kitchen is adequate, closet space is great. Free shuttle in and out of the bungalows was a great help. The beach club is so worth it too. The bungalow attendants especially Francisco were very nice and helpful.
Our friends were in the main hotel and I can say that our bungalow suite was much better than their rooms.

I am sorry to see what the Waldorf / Hilton people have done to the grand old space. The dignity is gone, but in its place there are six places to eat from high end Italian to Sushi to kid food at Serendipity. The shops are not very interesting and add to the new cluttered look.

The front desk gets overcrowded and valet gets overwhelmed from time to time.

The grounds are still absolutely beautiful and the views grand.

I stayed in a twelfth floor Tower room overlooking the inland waterway and distant ocean to the
South. Stunning! My room and bathroom were very comfortable though I found the air conditioning was tricky and the adjustment was old fashioned.

Thee breakfast buffet is wonderful in either the grand old room or in the outer salon with views of tied up yachts.
I would go back...good value for the cost.

My wife and I stayed here as part of a conference I attended.

We stayed at the "bungalows" a little off the main site, and it was definitely worth it. First, shuttles were there frequently, and anytime we needed one, the attendant would call and we'd be in one about a minute later. The beach and main property were only a few minutes away. I had friends stay in the main part (the "Cloisters") section and were complaining a bit about their room, decor, etc. The Bungalows are more modern and updated (though there were a few comestic issues with our room), the plantation blinds, the big bed, etc. were all wonderful. And since we had a car, the free parking was a great added perk.

The facilities were nice, food was decent, and the beach was quiet and uncrowded. I'm not sure if this hotel should fetch the price it asks for (and I probably wouldn't stay there if paying on my own), but it is a very nice hotel right in the heart of Boca Raton.

I cannot believe I am about to write what I am going to write. Looking at the pictures, My wife and I were SO excited about talking great things. Folks...this is is the worst quality of rooms in my overall hotel experience...ever. Follow my posts, I am not high maintenance, but for pete's sake...Waldorf-Astoria....what a joke. I seriously felt that I was in the best hotel in a 3rd world country. Yes...the rest of the hotel was very nice...but SAVE YOUR MONEY. This is NOT even a 3 star hotel. Please look at my posted pictures. Closet door came off...nighttable was missing a leg!!!! Hinges are rusted..paint chipping....brass rusted..mirrors crooked...bathroom dirty...pillows...wow...the pillows were feather...I asked for foam...it felt like they got round cotton balls in put them in a sheet..the feather was firmer. What a joke. This hotel needs massive intervention...maybe new management. I honestly feel as if the Ritz-Carlton would NEVER let this slip through their hands like it has. The Fairfield inn's rooms locally is 7 times better....yes people..you heard right. I am so embarrassed and dissappointed to say that. I saw the hotel's reviews on how a Peter Serena addressed the issue and "assured a Waldorf luxury experience". Obviously that was not enough. Here is the bottom line...if you have marble in the bathrooms...and you paint over it...all over...scrape it off...lack of attention to detail. I really wish I could refund my stay. If you HAVE to stay here..sleep and get out of your room asap. So sad. Sorry honey..I promise a better Valentine next time. We'll stay at a Marriott!
