While I never write reviews (good or bad) about my hotel stays, I feel compelled to write this one. Once a year, 4-5 of my best, lifelong friends meet at a spa and resort around the U.S. for some much needed down time, pampering, fellowship, and all out fun--without our spouses/partners and children. We only require 4 days (Fri-Mon) where we set aside all the stresses the world has put before us and we have a ball. We go to a different resort each year.

This year's pick was the Boca Raton Resort and Club. About 4 days before the trip, one of my girlfriends visited this site and read the reviews. Yikes!!!! We had not had a bad visit yet (knock on wood) and the reviews were not looking good. I called and spoke with Rebecca and informed her of our concerns that our girls' weekend was going to be ruined! She noted our concerns but guaranteed that we'd have a great stay.

Boy, was she wrong! Words cannot express how superb our stay was from the moment we arrived at the resort until the day we left. The Bungalows were to die for!!!! After we were greeted by the bellman, we met the most fantastic woman, Monica, who was like our own personal assistant--she even telephoned on her day off to make sure all of our needs were taken care. Our 2-bedroom suite was quite chic with contemporary furniture, appliances, art work, etc. We had a nice patio we entered through French doors from the living area. The place was clean and sparkled. All of the staff were professional and kind--I remember stating that I had never stayed at a hotel where everyone seemed to be happy to be at work!!!! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the spa was amazing. I had the oxygen facial and the ritual bath--if you do nothing else in life, this is one experience you must have!!!

We loved our experience so much that next year we will be back--something we've never done (i.e., visit a resort more than once)!!! Thanks, Rebecca, Monica, and crew!

Happy travels.

We have repeatedly visited the property over the years. The service is outstanding. We go for the tennis. The courts are the best and most maintained we have ever played on and the tennis staff takes good care of us. But the other hotel amenities are great, too. The spa is luxurious. The yacht club rooms are quiet and comfortable. The tower rooms have magnificent views. The the grounds are beautiful. We love the Boca Raton Resort & Club.

Stayed the for 5 nights on business a couple of years ago. The hotel had excellent service and the room was exeptional. Only downside would be the price. Good service and accpmodation cost good money

The hotel is as attractive as it can be for what it is, its age, and where it is. Given that, with all of the options that the world offers you, why stay here?

My room was in the old building and was the size of a shoe box. I was on business and needed to have room to work, but working on one of the two beds in the shoe box was my best option. Not just the room, but the entire building felt like a cave.

This hotel is not on a beach, it is on a golf course. A bus can take you to a beach if that is what you want, but their beach club is under massive renovation. You will not want to hang out there. The tiny pools are not much of an option.

Food is very good for a hotel of this type, but only if you enjoy paying $18 for yogurt, a bagel and a cup of coffee for breakfast. Cielo is a nice restaurant, but many more places with greater charm are found just a mile or so away.

If you are sentenced here by the judge, I understand why you are staying here. Otherwise, go somewhere nice that have interesting things to do and look at.
