WOW - JUST WOW!! We've stayed at some fabulous hotels over the years but this is one NOT TO MISS. OK so it's at the higher end of the budget but we've paid much more and got a lot less many, many times. The Yacht Club is part of The Boca Raton resort. This is just a truly luxurious hotel with outstanding service in a perfect location north of Miami on the Florida east coast. There are multiple accommodation options in the resort ranging from on the beach or on the marina. We opted for the Yacht Club overlooking the marina. We knew from the arrival that this was going to be something special. There were lots of valets - all keen, friendly, polite and professional. They were a real team. One took charge of taking us to the Yacht Club reception. You can tell that he really loved his job and enthused about he resort and its history. The decor and styling throughout this fabulous resort has to be seen to be appreciated. Sumptuous, stylish, classy, traditional but not dated. Flair in every direction - and that was just the walk from the entrance to the Yacht Club reception. Once delivered to the check in desk - a luxury setting with fine desks and comfortable seating - we were served champagne and offered water. The welcome was the best we've had in a 5 star hotel in years. It felt really genuine and warm - they wanted us to feel appreciated - and we did! We'd booked a 2 night stay in a one bedroom waterfront suite. This was in the main Yacht Club building. Ours was on the top floor with a balcony. The view was outstanding - overlooking the most wonderful yachts and marina with the rest of the resort across the water (on the beachfront) accessed by the resorts free water taxi. The suite was immaculate in every way. Fabulous bed and bedding, luxurious soft furnishings, stunning bathroom... the list is endless. Honestly - we are hard to please - but THIS is another level. So, so well done from the design through to the execution. There are numerous restaurants on the resort. We ate at the Harborside Pool Club on the first evening just after sunset. We wanted casual and this is right by one of the pools. Excellent service and delicious, very reasonably priced food. On our second night we ate at The Principessa Restaurant. OMG!! this didn't disappoint. I always try and find room for improvement in dining and staying. I can't think of anything at all. Honestly. And that is RARE for us. Service, setting, food, drink. TOP NOTCH. There was a bit of a wait time - but it was busy and to be expected. You can book online - I'd do that in advance as much as possible if you can. We sat outside on an early Jan evening - it was bliss. We had already booked our last night of a 10 night tour of the Sunshine State at The Breakers - had we not - we would definitely extended and we will definitely be back to this wonderful place. Well done team!!
