Over Thanksgiving, Mindy and Lauren’s families stayed at the Boca Raton Resort and the Boca Beach Club. The property proved to be a relaxing escape for all. The Boca Raton Resort sits on Lake Boca Raton in an iconic building called The Cloister that opened in 1926. The historical charm is evident everywhere you look. Mindy stayed in the attached Yacht Club with views of the lake and where you can find rooms with two queen beds. Lauren stayed at the oceanfront Boca Beach Club with a super modern design. The resort also offers rooms and suites in the main Cloister building, Tower building as well as bungalows that have views of the golf course. It sits on 356 acres and offers several pools, watersports (including surfing lessons), kids clubs (ages 3-12), spa, marina, golf, tennis, several dining and shopping options and more. For the holidays, they also had an ice skating rink and offered lessons. A variety of family activities change according to the seasons. Their popular hotel scavenger hunt called Mizner Quest teaches families about the local nature, wildlife and interesting historical facts. Fans of modern art can take a tour of the funky sculptures that are boldly placed around the resort. We appreciated the boat and bus transportation to get around the resort, the variety of dining options including takeout food outlets with plenty of healthy food options and the plentiful and overly attentive staff.
