Florida vs Caribbean? Why We Chose The Boca Raton Hotel Over a Caribbean Vacation

[@michaelmiller1215]

I came to the Boca Raton as an employee when I finished College in 1981. At that time, it was largely just a Convention Hotel. That is apparently not the focus of the property now. Everything is either new, or has been renovated since my time there. I felt that the Hotel was very expensive- even at that time. But the property did pride itself on service. Working at the Front Desk and as Convention Reservations Coordinator, I remember meeting Itzhak Perlman, Polly Bergen, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, and former President Ford even came as a guest speaker.

Nice overview about the renovated property! Will be there in August….4th time over the last 10 years. Cheers from Hamburg/Germany

Nice video, thank you. You mention the cost of food a few times; what were the tabs like for your family of 3. We are thinking of going this summer and wondering how much I should budget for a family of five (all kids under 10.)

With a family of three, including one child, it was very hard to escape any meal for less than $100. Dinners, even at some of their more casual restaurants like the flamingo grill were around $200 before the cost of alcohol. So if you’re looking to manage food costs, recommend leaving the resort a few nights. Even the pool food is expensive. But so long as you budget for it and fully expect it going in, you’ll have a great time. Most of the menus should be on their website with prices, so definitely recommend checking that out before booking anything just to make sure you’re comfortable. Good luck and safe travels. Thanks for watching.
