We went back to The Palm Beaches for our kids spring break last week and this was our second time to the area! This time, the weather was rainy, but we were still able to enjoy the hotel and plenty of indoor activities. Below are all my recommendations for the area!

How to get there:

• Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is the closest airport. The other options are to fly into FLL or Miami Airport which are between 45-60 minutes away.
• We flew from Wilmington NC and Avelo Airlines just started offering nonstop flights to West Palm & FLL!

Where to stay:

• EAU Palm Beach: Forbes 5-star resort in Manalapan FL. This resort screams luxury and Palm Beach! It was our second time staying on property and they have updated so much in the last two years around the resort. Below is everything we loved about the hotel:
• On site you can find a newly renovated kids camp with an entire teen area. The staff let me know you can also rent this space out for birthday parties. There is a gaming station, art drawing station, and 24 hour arcade area! Make sure to sign the kids up in advance before your stay as well!
• Two pools and hot tubs
• Ping pong table, and tennis court area
• Amazing restaurants on site
• Walk out balcony room options
• Spa on site
• Watersports on site, non-motorized and motorized.
