This is a mixed review. The bedding is a positive standout (it is exceptional), and rooms are recently refurbished and with very modern amenities. The service is below standard of a five star hotel on all fronts (waiting in line to check-in, single-day housekeeping, general unresponsiveness to repeated requests). Some of the amenities (gym, for example) are excessively crowded, perhaps a consequences of a very large hotel (500+ rooms?) plus shared amenities with a club). Boutique hotel this is not. Lots of character and attention to detail throughout (real candles grace the lobby in the evening, very good (but way-too-large) chocolates await at turn-down service). No coffee maker in the room or provided at reception, and coffee at News & Gourmet is average (as is the overall food quality). The security around the compound is a bit off putting. The beach is excellent by Florida standards, but average in comparison to true world-class beaches. In short, very classic, good for meetings, accessible location, and will stay again if hosted. BUT, this is NOT a destination property by any means. Not worth the price.…
Oceanfront suite with daily service including turndown. Fridge stocked with sparkling and flat water. Luxe linens. Toiletries way above par. So many trips here and it feels like home. The fitness center is outstanding and overlooks the Atlantic. The only critique of the Breakers is that yoga is not offered and it used to be if memory serves? Breakfast is served in the Circle dining room or on the beach - which we choose after working out. Staff has been there for many years, and the food is consistent especially for buffet. There are many spots around the property to find solitude - in the early mornings I find coffee in the small market and sit near the front lawn for reading and writing. Restaurants on property - all good. There is a shuttle every 5 minutes to off property shopping/restaurants, as well Tesla house cars that are generally available. Finding a spot at the adult pool can be challenging but once found is above adequate. Palm trees shade areas - balancing between sun and shade throughout the day. This stately property continues to thrive and excel - all through Covid even - and is only a short ride from PBI airport terminals.…
The Breaker’s is a lovely hotel but when you have high expectations and they fall very short it is disappointing. We booked the exclusive Flagler’s Club and have a suite. The suite we were given is small, dark and the rooms that are part of the Flagler Club are near the front of hotel and you look down on the roof of the building with ocean far in the distance. We have stayed at the Breaker’s in the past in a corner oceanfront suite- better room, larger and beautiful views to the ocean which is right below. The room we were given is right off the common area where they serve food for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks. We were told we would not here noise but you clearly here voices continuously. If they had explained the location of the Flagler Club rooms , that they were small and dark, did not even have a desk for working, we would have opted for an oceanfront suite. These are supposed to be the small, exclusive rooms- a special hotel in a large hotel. They do not deliver on that promise but charge significantly more.…
Some rooms are redone with an Art Deco spin. Of course there are two golf courses, tennis club, beach, pools…what do you really want? Actually, the best thing is the transparent bar with fish, eels, crustaceans swimming in the bar under your drink!!!!
this place is legendary and as such it is very well run and very expensive. but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. beach is great hotel rooms are period designed . food is expensive as you would expect
I attended an annual surgical meeting at The Breakers, Dec 3 thru 7. First, The Breakers knows how to hold a meeting. The meeting room, ancillary rooms, banquet facilities and staff were top notch. Best part was being able to secure adjoining rooms for my granddaughter and daughter who took full advantage of the larger hotel facilities. In addition to The Breakers’ tradition of service excellence, it turns out it is kid friendly. My 4 year old granddaughter had a ball exploring the building and grounds with her “passport” and taking full advantage (with her Mom and Grandmother) of the children’s play area, Beach and pool. My family had a great time. The food was excellent and the room was excellent with outstanding service. Can’t wait to head back.
This review is long overdue since my visit was April 2022. This was my 3rd stay at the Breakers & I was there to celebrate my birthday along with my friends.Of my various travel experiences the Breakers is at the top of my list.Absolutely beautiful with wonderful staff & variety of restaurants.I look forward to my next visit in the upcoming months.Jared was so very kind and able to locate an amazing room for me which was greatly appreciated.Yes it is somewhat pricey but well worth it. Wonderful spa
We have an amazing family vacation at the Breakers. Our room was beautiful. Staff was beyond helpful and kind. All the restaurants and late night options were great. We had a wonderful time with the kids, doing all the activities, and we also had a wonderful time as just adults when kids were with a babysitter that we arranged through the hotel. We can’t wait to go back!
My wife and I recently stayed here two nights to attend a wedding. The facilities and service were top notch but the prices were obscene, especially for food. The place reminds me of a cross between an old school resort (e.g. the Greenbrier) and a Ritz Carlton. The buildings and facilities have character but are in very good condition. Service was excellent - professional but fairly relaxed and friendly. Our room was spacious and very nice, particularly the bathroom. We got a discounted rate of $625/night which wasn’t too bad for the quality. The normal room rate was $1350/night which is way too high IMO. The food was good but too expensive. I had 3 fish tacos for lunch (no sides) that cost $64. They also have a mandatory service charge of 18% which I suspect does not get fully paid to the staff. The tacos were good but would cost $20 somewhere else. I was glad I got to see the place and it’s very impressive. I would not return, however, as I consider it a poor value.…
This hotel is a bit over the top for my taste. Yes, the pools/outdoor spaces are fabulous. Yes, the common areas are incredibly ornate. The Tesla service to Worth ave on command is nice. Yes, the view from an ocean front room is spectacular. Yes, the fitness center is great. Yes, the staff is generally friendly, but I still can't give it 5 stars. I think $62.00 for a pool side average taco and ice tea is obnoxious. I think the halls (at least ours - the mezzanine) are in dire need of a refresh. Our room was clean and large, but nothing great. For the price, I found the bathroom ok, but not incredible. I think it is difficult to navigate if you have a handicap. I thought the Christmas decorations were tacky. I think it is a lot of conspicuous consumption. It that is your thing, this is probably the place for you. It is Palm Beach, after all. But you've been warned...…
