We just returned from a one week visit to the Boca Raton Hotel in Florida. We have visited multiple times, but I will say that our experience this time surpassed those earlier visits. We stayed at the Yacht Club, one of the four main hotel properties on the premises. We love this location for a few reasons. Among others: the suites are large and beautifully appointed; this is the only hotel on the property that is adults only and dog friendly; breakfast is served every morning for Yacht Club guests at the Flybridge restaurant on the 8th floor. All of these contribute to what can only be described as a luxurious experience. High praise goes to everyone at the Yacht Club reception area. Aaron Senturk at the Front Desk provided excellent customer service. We did bring our small dog with us. He even provided treats for her. Flybridge restaurant is commanded by Carmen Halic. She is a fabulous manager/hostess and makes everyone feel like family. Colleen Fischer in the business center was very helpful with our business needs. We can’t wait to return again. The hotel is a fabulous respite from the cold northern winters. Ron DiPietro

James Shaw the overnight manager is professional and compassionate. He made sure our experience was top notch. He handled a noise issue with speed and detail. Highly recommend this hotel for a first class experience.

We had an outstanding four day trip to The Boca Raton in November 2025 with several family members across three rooms and two of the buildings (Tower and The Yacht Club). From the very moment we arrived the staff was extremely courteous, even walking us from place to place if we didn’t know where something was. Our room was flawless, with the most comfortable bed we’ve ever found in a hotel, and a spacious living room (we booked a tower club suite). Our club rooms gave us access to the 27th floor lounge which had an excellent breakfast with great views. The activities were also terrific. Several of my family members did various water activities including the banana boat (a highlight for them), FlowRider for the kids, and lots of time at the beautiful beach and pools. I personally am much more into tennis, and a big reason we went to the Boca was the highly recommended tennis facility. Lauren (director of the racquet club) was extremely friendly and helpful, and my son had a terrific lesson with Bobby who was a big reason we were so excited to come, as well as Sashi who was also great. We also enjoyed the group tennis clinics and our other lessons. Most of all, the food was terrific. We had amazing meals at Harbor House and Sadells, and even the grab and go options were great when we needed something quick. We hope to come back soon!

We stayed are Beach Club. Servers and rooms were spectacular. Hotel was not crowded.Food was amazing. This place is next level. We were there during the flood and the handled it superbly. No change in service. They were out early the next morning repairing and fixing . The pools are beautiful and the service on the beach was perfect. Can’t wait to go back. See you next year. I am somewhat shocked by some of the negative. You will not be disappointed. Our daughter went last year and she highly recommended the Boca Raton. We will be back.

Magnificent as usual. My parents have been member since 2004 and have been coming here since I have been eight years old. I had my two adult children and husband at the beach resort and it was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for always making it a wonderful place
