Fodor's Expert Review Waterstone Resort & Marina

The sleek, modern resort is home to the only waterfront dining in Boca Raton as well as light and airy rooms with views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean. A wide hallway studded with modern art leads from the front desk to the jazzy BL Lounge, bathed in light from sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking Boca Lake. On the east, dockside seating overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway is at the outdoor Seaspray. Rooms are modern, and bathrooms are tricked out, some with soaking tubs, trough sinks, and glass-walled showers. Balconies provide views of the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean. Walk to the beach, or take the beach shuttle—the hotel provides chairs and umbrellas. Otherwise, laze by the waterfront pool sipping a cool one from the patio bar. Water-sports rentals are available here as well.
