This resort's massive lemon-yellow buildings that sprawl across a pristine stretch of Palm Beach offer a revelation compared to what most might think a Holiday Inn stay might entail—inviting rooms, a fun vibe, and distinct sections that will appeal to those looking for quiet active fun or a family-friendly environment. The rooms, though not luxe, feel fresh and higher floor options can offer impressive sea views. But it’s the design of the outdoor areas that impress the most, with inviting water circuits seamlessly spilling onto one of the best sea swimming spots on Palm Beach, largely because it's completely cordoned off from noisy motorized water sports. On-site dining is also a cut above, with spots like Da Vinci Ristorante and Agave Mexican Cuisine. All-inclusive and bed-and-breakfast plans are available.
