Looks like it's been a while since anyone visited (and posted), thought I would share a few thoughts from our visit in June.
Why did we choose the Four Seasons Palm Beach?
Primarily, we were lured in by a few promos - 4th night free, $150 off $800 Amex statement credit, and booking via FHR which yielded $100 spa credit, early check-in, room upgrade, and late check out. Also, the kids for all seasons program was something that attracted us [as opposed to Ritz or Breakers] due to its liberal hours (9 to 5) and cost (free!).
Check-in: unfortunately they weren't able to accommodate us with the 1pm early check-in benefit, but by 3pm the room was available.
Room: we booked a garden (lowest category) and were upgraded to partial ocean - which was more of a pool view. The room itself was quite spacious, with plenty of room for a pack-n-play for our infant. Bathroom was large and overall the room itself was in excellent condition as you would expect.
Pool: you'll read it over and over again in other review, the pool is just too small. The deck area has plenty of chairs that are fairly tightly packed in, though we never encountered enough people to fill all the chair. The pool attendants are great though - waters, sunglasses cleaning, small cups of smoothie or fruit are constant through the day. The pool bar is great, but the prices are absurd. $16-20 for a mixed cocktail or frozen drink is just silly. We're from Miami so we expect expensive cocktails, but we paid less for drinks in the Maldives than in Palm Beach. Something not quite right about that. Poolside food service was great though - everything we had was hot, fresh and in good quantity.
Breakfast at the hotel restaurant was excellent. They have a great buffet spread which we were able to use for our "free breakfast" under the FHR deal, or a la carte.
Kids for all seasons: This was great, our daughter (5), loved it. It's 9 to 5 and free. We didn't end up leaving her there all day long though, as there were actually no other kids around. They have a variety of activities planned, as well as arts/crafts. They will also feed them if you want, otherwise you can get them for lunch and then take them back.
Overall we had a really good stay at the FS Palm Beach and would certainly recommend it for families. Any questions, feel free.
