Reviewed by @niki_eleni: My stay at Eau Palm Beach was the perfect mix of relaxation and wellness. I loved waking up to the ocean breeze on my balcony, and hitting the gym with those Peloton bikes was a huge plus. If you want a beach getaway without losing your fitness routine, this is the spot.

5 things to know before you go
💡The exterior architecture is a dated yellow-ocher Mediterranean style that completely belies the vibrant, modern Jonathan Adler interiors.
💡The beach is highly susceptible to erosion and seasonal seaweed; at high tide, the sand can almost completely disappear.
💡The heavy, solid wood doors in the hallways are fantastic for soundproofing, but they can be tough for small children to open.
💡You don't just get a standard robe at the spa—you get to choose your own custom aromatherapy scent and music for your treatment room.
💡The hotel provides a surprisingly high-quality canvas beach bag in your room that you can actually take home for free.
