The Breakers is the splurge that costs less than it looks to park. It's AAA Four Diamond and Forbes Four-Star, on 140 oceanfront acres, with complimentary overnight valet and, in its own words, "never a resort fee".
There's a lot of resort: four pools and six whirlpool spas at the Ocean Club, an indoor-outdoor spa with 17 treatment rooms, and HMF, Echo, Flagler Steakhouse and more to eat.
Our routing puts the terminal about 5.5 road miles away, roughly 15 minutes. The free Mercedes-Maybach house car is for getting around locally, and an airport transfer comes free only with the 30-night Resident Guest Program.
Book it for one proper Palm Beach night, then a cab north in the morning.
Book it if
- You want no resort fee and free valet
- Dinner at one of a dozen venues
- The ocean and the spa before a short cruise
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast included in print.
- You want a shuttle to the port.
- You're bringing a pet; the pages we read don't say.
