    We went here with a group of high school students to take an etiquette class and then get a tour of the Breakers. It is truly a lovely place and every employee is super helpful and very kind. I love how the whole hotel is set up. The hotel feels so elegant all the time which I love. I love how it overlooks the ocean - you almost feel as if you can or will fall into it!

    Had the opportunity to brunch here recently and it was truly fabulous. The setting alone is worth it. Classic Palm Beach elegance, bright and lively, but still refined. It feels special the second you walk in. The food selection was beautiful and thoughtfully presented. Fresh seafood, perfectly prepared hot dishes, and a dessert spread that felt indulgent in the best way. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was polished and attentive without hovering. Overall, such a great experience and absolutely worth it for a celebration or just a luxe Sunday. Would happily return.

    This hotel has a lot of potential and there are definitely some really great things about it -- free ice cream, awesome kid activities, beautiful grounds, and overall it does feel like a luxury property. But honestly, customer service really needs improvement. The room numbering system feels like a complete labyrinth, finding your room can turn into a full adventure. The chains on the playground? Really questionable choice for a family resort. And getting a seat by the pool feels about as likely as finding a $100 million lottery ticket laying on the ground. Is it one of the best hotels? Maybe. But with better organization and much stronger customer service, it could actually live up to the reputation.

    Stunning property, fittingly named as you can watch the waves breaking against the rocks right along the shoreline. This historic hotel and event space reminded me in some ways of The Biltmore in Asheville. Everything is clean and pristine yet kept in a fashion that feels true to the era it was built. The aquarium at the bar area was simply incredible and we loved also hanging out at the larger bar area as well. A must if in the area!

    Beautiful old hotel , I didn't stay here but brunch is a must if you visit . About the hotel Founded on the sands of Palm Beach in 1896, The Breakers welcomes guests with unparalleled seaside glamour and world-class amenities. Enjoy everything under the sun - private beachfront, four pools, acclaimed restaurants, indoor-outdoor Ocean Fitness center, stunning spa, shopping, golf and more.

    You have to come stay here at least once in your lifetime. The most luxurious, old money, historic experience you'll ever have. Truly spectacular. Can't wait to come back!

    The Breaker is always a top notch experience: brunch is one of the best I've seen anywhere--the variety of food is vast, the music is lovely, the views and space are beautiful. It's great for those special occasions. The Seafood Bar is fun as fish tanks with clown fish are the bar counter--so entertaining and flaming. Cocktails are good and mocktails as well. Their store has a great variety of goods, and we made the most of some of the sale section to pick up some things for the home. It's nice to walk around after eating and enjoy the beauty of the hotel. There are exhibitions to learn the history of Palm beach and Flagler, and artifacts of hotel history. Their ballrooms are magnificent, and although their Spanish ball room with portraits of Spanish historical figures are mislabeled (yikes) it's still a lovely space reminiscent to Spain.

    I had never heard of it before my visit to West Palm Beach FL. We dressed up after reading about it. Walked in for lunch, at the Sea Food restaurant. Everything and more visually, locations, historic and taste wise did not disappoint. Only spend a couple of hours for lunch. Pricy but worth it, if you like food and wine. It had the feel of regal people that had been dining and wandering these halls. I Loved every minute of that place.

    Amazing family friendly resort hotel. Breathtaking views and the service from every staff member was superb. The restaurants all had great drinks and food and had a children's menu. Kid friendly pool access, and kids entertainment center with outdoor playground, basketball court, mini golf and arcade. 10-15 min from airport and free shuttle access to any of their restaurants that are not in immediate campus. Only thing to be prepared for is that given Palm Beach is bougie is general, that some of the guests are "aloof", rather than friendly, if you get my gist.

    Everything was great. Fantastic staff and beautiful bar and views. They have a bar that stretches along a great glass windows with a wonderful view of the ocean. But what's really unique is that the bar is also an aquarium with fish and live reefs . It's very unique and incredibly cool to look at while you're enjoying your snack and drink. You're not going to get and deals here. But you're paying for a very nice experience. I highly suggest the bar for the fish views and the fast and excellent service. We had the we had the grilled cheese served on Parker House rolls. Although it was a little pricey, it was enough to share for two people and both be very satisfied. If you don't like tomato soup, I suggest you ask to substitute french fries. They were good.

    This is a beautiful historical hotel north of downtown West Palm Beach. To go in as a visitor you need to give your ID to the security guard before pulling in to the visitor parking area We walked around the grounds and we loved the decor and the details all around. The price per night is about $1300-1500 for the basic room. It's a great place to bring out of town guests so they can experience the life of the rich and famous!

    A friend of mine, who's a member, recently brought me to The Breakers, and I'm still swooning from the experience. From the moment you pull into the palm-lined drive, you know you're about to enter somewhere truly special--and trust me, it delivers. Founded in 1896 by the legendary Henry Flagler (yes, the same railroad magnate who basically built modern Florida!), The Breakers oozes historic grandeur while offering every modern luxury imaginable. Flagler's vision of opulence and coastal elegance is alive and well here--and elevated to perfection. We didn't just come for the view (though wow--the Atlantic Ocean views from the rooms are worth every penny). We stayed, sipped, and spoiled ourselves with everything the resort has to offer. The cocktails at the bar? Exquisite. You can taste the craftsmanship in every glass. And if you're not up for venturing out--why would you be?--the resort truly puts everything at your fingertips. You've got world-class restaurants, golf, multiple pools, and a five-star spa that feels like a sanctuary from the world. Whether you're here to relax in the sunshine or play like royalty, you'll be more than taken care of. I highly recommend choosing a room that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean--there's nothing like waking up to that endless blue. The Breakers isn't just a hotel, it's an experience. One that reminds you life can be both luxurious and unforgettable. Can't wait to return.

    One of the best resort experiences we've ever had as a family. The Breakers truly lives up to its five-star reputation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, elegant, and welcoming. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we even scored a complimentary upgrade through our Amex, which was a great surprise. The food was fantastic--especially the buffet, which had a wide variety of high-quality options. The entire resort is beautifully maintained, and the service across the board was excellent. While we didn't get a chance to play pickleball this time, we loved knowing it was available. The resort also offered a convenient shuttle service that took us to nearby restaurants, the museum, and Worth Avenue, where we did some shopping and strolling. The location really can't be beat--it's close to iconic landmarks, the ocean, and everything you'd want to see in Palm Beach. We also appreciated the wide, open green spaces where our infant could safely roam and explore. The landscaping is gorgeous and made our daily walks feel peaceful and refreshing. There was some construction going on, but it didn't really affect our stay. We were only there for a few nights and honestly, everything else made up for it. Check-in was quick, staff were friendly, and our room was cleaned twice a day--plus we loved the little chocolates they left behind. Yes, prices for food and some amenities are on the higher end, but the overall quality and experience made it feel worth it. Even small touches, like being served sparkling water by default and still water in cans, really stood out to us. We created some amazing memories here and we'll absolutely be coming back. This place checks all the boxes for a luxury family getaway.

    How much does a night in a hotel cost?

    It depends on time of year, special events, etc. Plan on $700-$2,000 for a basic room.

    Can I bring my service small dog?

    Yes service dogs can go anywhere if they're truly a service dog

    Is there a bar service on the beach?

    How much do the bungalows cost to rent in May?

    $999

    Free self-parking, if there's room. Tell the guard you plan to self-park. He will send you to the right. It's a two-minute walk from the lot to the front door.

    It really depends on the season and room you select. The rates range from high $300s to high $1,000s. It is cheaper to stay in the Summer believe it or not. They have an exclusive section of the hotel that is called The Flagler Club, which ranges… Read more

Two large umbrellas hung in the closet in case of rainy weather. The bar and refrigerator were stocked with alcohol, snacks, and more water. The beds are comfortable and featured sheets stitched with The Ben's name and logo. Hotel amenities included a rooftop pool, glass elevator, gym, and room service. Complimentary bikes and shuttle services are available. Bruno, a Circuit vehicle, provides rides exclusively for The Ben guests anywhere within a 2 mile radius of the hotel. There is also a Book Butler that can bring you a curated and rotated book delivered on a silver platter! Tatianna, at the Front Desk, answered questions and provided good breakfast recommendations. Kevin, Bell Services, was also helpful. He made sure I had all the information on how to schedule a ride with Bruno and that we had water boxes for our trip and activities we had planned for the day.

You can set your combination to lock it so your belongings are safe. There is a beauty area with blow dryers, hair ties, Q-tips and other female products are available upon request. Showers are also present. The steam and sauna rooms were incredible. My favorite part was the heated jacuzzi pool with the overhead waterfall that comes rushing down into the jacuzzi. It was activated by a button that you can press on the outside. It was clothing optional in this area. The outdoor spa area is an oasis of beauty. It was raining a bit on the day I came, but they have silver hanging chairs with water beneath your feet, cabanas and waterfalls. It's blissfully calming. I've never experienced anything like it!
