I literally can't say enough good things about this hotel. The rooms were beautiful and spacious with nice little touches, like a tote bag and chocolates and a balm to help you sleep.
The staff was excellent, kind and patient with me and all my family members (23 of us in total!).
The beach was beautiful and the cabana service was awesome. There were TVs and refrigerators with juices and waters in the cabanas. An extra fee but well worth it since we were such a large group.
Dinners were all amazingly delicious and, again, the staff was wonderful with all of us.
Kid's club was a hit for the youngest (3) and the oldest (12) children in the group. They wanted to go all day every day. And there were some fun family events each day for all of us.
Gym was clean and large with great equipment. I had the best pedicure ever at the salon.
All in all a wonderful time and I would go back in a heartbeat!

My wife and I frequently stay at Eau for business, and it has become one of our favorite resorts. The personalized attention we receive—from the reservations team remembering the room I prefer to the special amenities that make our visits memorable—truly makes Eau feel like a second home to us.
The resort offers many exceptional venues to enjoy, but two of our personal favorites are the elegant hotel lobby and Breezes restaurant, with its stunning location along the beach wall. Another highlight is the Sunday afternoon brunch, a delightful event featuring fantastic island music from Arturo, perfectly complemented by the soothing sound of crashing waves in the background.
Eau truly delivers a magical experience every time.

Truly a gorgeous and memorable stay at the Eau. From the second you step into the stunning lobby you’re absolutely transported. Our room had the most incredible ocean views in our beautifully decorated room.
Pool service was on point with chair set up every morning and the staff didn’t miss a beat throughout the day. To be able to walk right down to the beach was so incredible.
We also took advantage of the group fitness classes and had the most lovely yoga class. I brought my kiddos (10 and 12) and they were welcomed with open arms.
Food was great, expensive but on par for the resort.
We booked through Amex and received so many incredible perks-daily breakfast credit, early/late check in/out and treats in our room upon arrival.

Arrived for family/business get together for the weekend and we received a friendly greeting immediately by the valet upon arrival.
Front desk check-in was friendly and was accented by glasses of sparkling wine.
The property’s public areas are very nice with wide marble floor corridors with antique furnishings.
The property boasts a handful of restaurants with different cuisines available.
The property’s pool area is very nice with a separate adult pool, cabanas available for private use and food/drink service.
Conference facilities were very good and the banquet food (breakfast and dinner) quite good.
Our room was a standard king and was spacious with a separate work desk Amal chaise lounge. Bathroom was very nice with separate bath tub, shower and toilet room.
The staff was superlative. Always pleasant and happy to assist. Staff being a game changer for hotels, the Eau Pam Beach staff was top class and a tribute to this very nice facility.
Checkout was a breeze with valet again very efficient.
A wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Eau Palm Beach if our travels bring us back to the area.

This gem, smack on the ocean in Palm Beach, has it together in ways seldom seen any longer. The staff is on point--friendly, professional, and actually happy to engage with guests in conversations.
There was no nickel and diming. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are complimentary for guests, as is valet parking, and no dreaded "resort fee."
I've seldom seen staff so happy. A shout out to Ahmet, whose joy in his job is infectious. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and couldn't do enough for you.
Our suite (418) was great--right on the ocean.
When everything comes together this well, you can tell senior management "gets it."
We had about as perfect a stay as one can have. So should you.

This former Ritz Carlton property is lovely with breathtaking views …. Outside the sunrises and sunsets are beautiful and inside the many gorgeous crystal chandeliers and antiques are stunning.
My husband and I stayed three nights in an ocean front king room. We loved the view. The bed is comfortable and the room is well appointed. Evening turndown service was a nice touch and we appreciated the chocolates housekeeping leaves on each nightstand. The bathroom is nice….but if I had one criticism it would be that the bathroom could use an update. The marble shower was lovely but the commode is so low…it’s time to invest in the higher profile which would likely better accommodate the generally older clientele. The hotel must have been full during our stay. On Saturday housekeeping did not arrive until after 5 pm to service our room which was disconcerting. They ended up combining the service with turndown which meant we needed to hastily change to get to a family gathering.
A word about the parking valets — they really hustle! We never waited more than a couple minutes for our car. The weekend of our visit the hotel hosted a beautiful black tie wedding which made for a VERY busy evening for the valets — yet they were cheerful and no one waited long for their car. Hats off to them!
I enjoyed the pool one day and found the service to be excellent. We dined at Polpo also - one breakfast (with the most incredible fruit plate I’ve ever enjoyed) and one dinner. Unfortunately Angle Restaurant is closed on Sunday and that was the one night we had no family plans. There is a sushi restaurant in the lobby area also and if we had stayed longer we would have tried that as well.
In all we enjoyed our stay. It’s clear this hotel is a top choice for meeting planners and celebratory events. In an area with many high end hotels this one does stand out as a good choice. We would absolutely return.

The Eau Pam Beach Resort is a fine all-inclusive beach resort with excellent local amenities & services. Our family had one of the rooms, and made extensive use of the restaurants and multiple pools (one dedicated for children). Sitting poolside, there were plenty of staff to bring us drinks, lunch (the ostrich meat sliders were excellent!) and much-needed sun screen. The beach was open to allow everyone to dip their toes in the sea. Very relaxing on a winter day when it's so cold & icy up north.
A nice touch for the young children was an arcade play area, where the staff helped out the kids draw various sea creates with colored pens. They then scanned the kid's pictures into a computer, which added the hand-drawn sea creature to the digital aquarium of fish swimming. A big hit with our kids.

We enjoyed a wonderful 5 day break at this beautiful resort. Although it was a holiday weekend and busy the overall feeling was one of calmness and control. All the staff were helpful and courteous and the resort facilities excellent. A lovely adult only pool area enhanced the experience. Our only complaint relates to the Angle Restaurant where an overly officious and unhelpful hostess spoiled the experience of a lovely restaurant. We made our booking for a set time some 2 months before and arrived on time. Yet the hostess looked into the room which was only half full and asked us to wait 15 minutes until a table would be ready. We immediately objected and said we had a booking and expected to be able to go to the table - this is our European way of doing things - particularly in a fine dining restaurant in a 5 star hotel. She was not very interested but luckily a senior waiter noticing this exchange intervened and said not to worry, a table would be ready in 3-4 minutes and poured us some champagne and soon after took us to the table. The hostess ignored us after that. The subsequent experience was lovely but we started the evening feeling very irritated. An example of the way a beautiful quality hotel can be let down by a poorly qualified or poorly trained member of staff.

Easily the worst resort I've ever stayed in -- in Palm Beach or otherwise. They were understaffed and the poor staff was so overworked that they couldn't do much of anything at all. They were simultaneously overbooked and the only restaurants on the property (and there is nowhere to eat within 15 min of the property) had wait times of about an hour ever day for every meal. The beach was tiny, overcrowded and littered with trash. If you want to relax by the adult tranquility pool, good luck, there's always kids in there. There's constant construction outside the hotel as well starting at about 6:30 am. The spa had no availability during our entire trip which is fine because everyone at the spa was rude to us anyway. The maids didn't clean our rooms 2 of the 4 days we were there, and when we brought up these issues to the hotel staff along with the facts that we didn’t have hot water multiple times and our toilets flushed about half the time, all they offered us was 2 extra nights. Like we would every come back here for any reason

I hate that it took me so long to write this review. I was still recovering mentally from the experience. I will make a long story short. I planned a solo trip for 4 days and ended up leaving 2 days early. The room I was in had bed bugs. I reported it to the staff/management and of course they denied it and also managed to insult me in the process when I was showing them the multiple bumps on my body. When the fabric skirt of the bed and mattress was checked there were tons of black streaks, and dots resembling a pen mark. If you google signs of bed bugs this is what you find. I was lucky to book with AMEX as there able to get me a refund and an early flight. However, upon my arrival home I had to go to urgent care for the severity of my bites and hire a professional bed bug service to gather all my belongs from me at the airport. I do travel a lot for work and this experience gives me such bad anxiety when staying in hotels.
