Hilton West Palm Beach

My favorite hotel in Palm Beach is Hilton West Palm Beach which is in downtown and walking distance from The Square. I love this tropical paradise and it is a great place for a getaway or staycation. Book this hotel for your next girl’s trip, weekend with your bae or family trip with the kids. It is family friendly and has a ton of seating and lounge areas to enjoy. Make sure to check out their restaurant Galley for dinner or Bbrunch on Sundays. I’ve spent birthday celebrations here and days relaxing by the pool. They also have cabanas you can rent for that special occasion or if you just want an upgrade. 

Pelican Grand Beach Resort

Pelican Grand Beach Resort is one of those resorts you would never expect to be in Fort Lauderdale. It is a hidden resort that will check off all your expectations. When was the last time you enjoyed a lazy river while relaxing at a resort? I’m guessing a while, right! This resort has a lazy river, pool, beach access and food service, as well as a luxury spa. The ultimate staycation experience, this is one of my husband’s favorite resorts and literally goes around the lazy river until he falls into a nap. The staff, food, and drinks are unforgettable! I highly encourage you to make dinner reservations at Ocean 2000, my husband and I dined there for his birthday and the food was incredible and literally chef’s kiss!

JW Marriot & Tidal Cove Waterpark

JW Marriott Resort is located in Aventura and in the past few years underwent major renovations especially the new Tidal Cove Waterpark that is the waterpark of everyone’s dream. Not only do they have a waterpark for adults but a private section for kids and family, how fun! There are plenty of lounge chairs, private cabanas and dining areas to have a tasty lunch. I loved their strawberry daiquiri, a perfect cocktail in the hot Florida weather!
