"The Boca Raton has undergone a $200 million metamorphosis, and it’s primed to show it off. The 200-acre resort is sandwiched between a half-mile of private beachfront and an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary (and bifurcated by Lake Boca Raton)—an elevated option to take in Florida’s famous sunshine and water activities, complete with pristine, light-filled interiors with views of towering palm trees, high-end amenities galore, and a deluxe outdoorsy lifestyle that beckons you to stay in the sun a little longer. The property has pontoon boats and catamaran cruises, plus two water taxis that transport guests to the private beachfront. Because if you haven’t been on the water in Florida, have you really been to Florida? Rooms from $475. —Nila Do Simon" - CNT Editors
