Concierge "Aah, the Breakers—one of the most famous, most exclusive, and yes, priciest places to stay in America (it's even snagged a spot on the National Register of Historic Places)."
Fodor's "More than an opulent hotel, the Breakers is a 140-acre self-contained jewel of a resort built in an Italian Renaissance style and loaded with amenities." Full review
Frommer's "This 140-acre beachfront hotel is quintessential Palm Beach, where old money mixes with new money, and the Old World gives way, albeit reluctantly, to a bit of modernity." Full review
Jetsetter "Historic Henry Flagler-built compound with a half-mile of private beach, four pools, two golf courses and a spa." Full review
Oyster5.0
"This sprawling 140-acre resort feels more like a Renaissance palace than a hotel." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler91.4
"This historic hotel, built by Henry Morrison Flagler, has "timeless Italian Renaissance–style architecture"." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Unsurpassed in terms of luxury when oil tycoon Henry Flagler built it in 1896, the Breakers outdid itself in a 1926 renovation modeled after various Italian renaissance palaces and gardens." Full review
Michelin Guide "The regal lobby's hand-painted, vaulted ceiling recalls the Palazzo Carega in Genoa."
DK Eyewitness "Palm Beach landmark, this Italian Renaissance-style oceanfront hotel is where old money clashes with new."
Star Service "This yesteryear hotel has been steadily updating its image to meet the needs and wants of 21st-century travelers." Full review

Concierge "The beach is the main attraction: Though the seven-acre strand is not private like the one at the Breakers, the out-of-the way location keeps it from getting as crowded as the public beaches."
Lonely Planet "A tad more expensive - and exclusive - than the Four Seasons, this oceanfront palace is a bit further south, in quiet Manalapan."
Travel + Leisure "Formerly the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Typical Ritz Carlton hotel with exquisite service, this is a bit of a drive from downtown."
Fodor's "In the coastal town of Manalapan .... this sublime, glamorous destination resort showcases a newer, younger face of luxury." Full review
Jetsetter "Mediterranean Revival mansion with a destination spa, elegant guestrooms and plenty of Palm Beach panache." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars
"Located in the small seaside town of Manalapan just south of Palm Beach on South Florida’s finest sandy beaches and turquoise waters." Full review
OysterLuxury
"Even in ultra-luxurious Palm Beach County, the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa stands out from the five-pearl pack (with a little help from the hotel's past life as a Ritz-Carlton property)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This playful yet extravagant oceanfront resort has fans around the world. It’s home to a decadent spa and one of the best pools in Florida."
Travel + Leisure "The Jonathan Adler-designed rooms and stress-melting massages win over parents...kids club featuring a giant light-peg wall, virtual playground zone, sketch aquarium, magic mirror, and cinema "
