The Breakers Palm Beach

Partial ocean view room is a joke. $1800 a night and we are staring at a roof. Common areas are nice but rooms are dark and views are non existent unless you book an ocean front I suppose. It’s an old hotel so expect small rooms and small windows.

We are staying in a 1 bedroom suite which has a separate living room with a bathroom and closet along the hallway to the bedroom. The two large screen TVs are nice and at least 60”. The living room and bedroom is right sized and the bedroom has some views of the grounds, golf course and ocean. The bathroom is large with dual sink and a large walk-in shower as would be expected at a higher end hotel. But while there is enough space, there is no door to separate the toilet from the bathroom as you’d expect. The toilet is made by Toto and should have been upgraded to the Toto electric total wash toilet seat. The spray in the shower is not adjustable and there is no removable handheld shower in the shower, which is so easy to have. There is one on the side of the bathtub, but it is not the same. There is no pre-moist make-up removal packets like at the the Four Seasons. While it is a great idea to have a portable water spigot in the bathroom, there is no sealed glass to it drink from. If you have seen how housekeeping clean the glasses in the room, you would never use them for drinking. We never do. The closet is roomy but the mirrored doors don’t swing flush to the walls, so it ends up blocking the hallway. The decor in the rooms are better than most and staff service is superb. But at$1,750/night for the suite it is $1,000 more than what it’s worth.
