Palm Beach Hotel Information

I will be going to the Palm Beach area in early July for a concert. I am looking at several hotels: Delray Marriot, Marriot Ocean Point, Crowne Plaza Oceanfront, and Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Hotel. I know these hotels are in different areas, and that is ok. I am wondering how these hotels compare as far as room cleanliness, pool area, and the beach. Thank you for any information.

I'm only familiar with the Delray & Singer Island places (not sure of location of the others.) The Delray Marriott is supposed to be lovely with a nice beach and sits at the end of the "main drag", Atlantic Ave., where there are tons of restaurants lining both sides of the street. Downtown Delray is a "youngish" area (for Fla.). It's about a 15-20 min drive north to West Palm on the Tpk. Singer Island has, IMO, one of the nicest east coast Fla. beaches but it's a bit removed with limited restaurant choices close by. Most important, I think soemone recently posted that the Hilton was undergoing some renovation so check on this. That could be noisy & inconvenient. There is at least one ocean front hotel in Palm Beach (maybe one of the others you mentioned) which would be closest to your concert venue perhaps. Also, there's a Ritz Carlton just outside Palm Beach that may have some specials in July. Have you checked Rants & Raves here? Hope this helps.

PS If you read the string today called "South Florida beaches" there are more mentions of the Delray Marriott.

Sarengetty- The Delray Marriott on Atlantic Ave and Ocean Blve is NEW -right across the street from the beach and at the end of Atlantic Ave where EVERYTHING is happening!! A terrific location to be- and you do NOT even need a car!! Singer Island is WAY WAY out Have no info on the other hotels you mentioned--but I have stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Manalapan ( considered to be Palm Beach) and it is GORGEOUS--DIRECTLY on the beach with an awesome pool--but you do need a car there.... In my opnion, unless you NEED to be in PALM BEACH- stay in Delray- as that Marriott is right in the swing of things-- The renovated Delray Downtown area is very hip and young!! You will love it!

Wow! I guess the Marriot in Delray will be the way we go. Thanks for the info and the tip on the construction at the Hilton. I believe the Marriot Delray is across the street from the beach. Is there beach access right across the street?
