Eau is one of two splurges here that charge no resort fee — The Breakers is the other. Its daily-benefits page says "No resort fee", dogs stay without a pet fee, and Nobu Manalapan is one of four places to eat, with oceanfront pools and the Eau Spa.
It used to be Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa; the old site now redirects to the new name.
Distance is the trade. Our routing makes the terminal about 18.2 road miles and 29 minutes from Manalapan with no traffic — the longest morning on this list. It isn't on AAA's 2026 lists.
Book it for a few days before the cruise, and spend the last night closer to Riviera Beach.
Book it if
- You hate resort fees
- Bringing the dog
- Dinner at Nobu
