What are your top hotel recommendations – with kids and without?

The Breakers is the most family-friendly resort and The Colony Hotel offers a fashionable stay, with both options offering iconic stays right in the heart of the island. The Four Seasons was also recently renovated and has a stunning property with our favorite spa. If you are not staying on property, you can visit the Four Seasons spa and add their Day Spa Beach Retreat Pass that includes beachfront access, a $40 lunch credit, complimentary valet parking, and more!

Favorite boutiques, vintage stores, etc.?

We have so many wonderful new additions to an already notable lineup of shops.

Can’t-miss recommendations for friends visiting from out of town?

The Royal Poinciana Plaza has a first-class collection of restaurants, bites and shops that are all must-sees. We also suggest hopping around the hotels to dine and experience their people watching. When in Palm Beach, you should also walk and drive around as much as possible to take in all of the scenery.
