Reviews for Cloister at The Boca Raton
Incredible Glow-Up
What a Glow-Up! I stayed at the hotel over 10 years ago and it was clearly in need of a refresh. WOW - what a refresh! The property has kept its iconic history but added incredibly beautiful renovations to rooms, beach club, spa, fitness center, dining - everything is 5-star! Highly recommend!

CLASSIC FLORIDA RESORT PERFECTION!
Boca Raton Resort What an absolutely lovely historic resort on the water. From arrival to departure we felt cared for and spoiled at such a luxurious level. The room was classic with complimentary treats. The bars and restaurants were so wonderful. Cocktails and food were spot on. The staff makes the property what it is, everyone was kind and went over and above to make sure everyone was treated equally with class and attention. The spa, although I didn't have a treatment, is one of the most beautiful and all inclusive pampering I have every seen across the globe on many travels. If you are up looking for a special experience in and/or near Boca I challenge you to look no further.

dylan at front desk excellent
Had a wonderful stay at the resort. Dylan at the front desk was especially helpful. He was kind, knowledgeable and extremely professional. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was special and that all our needs were met.

I LOVED everything about The Boca Raton! The variety of towers, pools, restaurants, shopping, lounges and more made me want to stay a week! Brian at the pool on The Cloister side was also very nice and stayed cool, calm, and collected when confronted by a difficult guest. All the guests in our section were impressed with how well he handled the situation and were rooting for him! I have to go back when the weather is more cooperative and not stuff myself too much during dinner at the Flamingo Room next time, because I couldn't even stuff in the Banana Split Flambe I'd been wanting to try!

Horrible security/service
This was one of the worst hotel experiences ever. My room was left ajar one afternoon. It ended up somehow demagnetized. No one cared. They foxed it, but no apologies or concern of how/why it was open. Thankfully nothing was missing, not that they asked.
