Hotel Review: The Four Seasons Palm Beach
Last week Aneesh and I stayed at The Four Seasons Palm Beach for 4 nights and this was our second time visiting this property in a year. We LOVED everything about our visit and I thought I would share my 10 reasons why we had a great vacation and why you should plan a visit too!
1. Courteous staff. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left every single staff member was courteous, greeted us with a smile, and said hello. At the end I even wanted to tip a staff member who took great care of us at the pool and he genuinely didn't want to take my money. (But I made him!) He was so humble and polite as were all the staff at the property.
2. Anything is possible attitude. No matter which Four Seasons I have stayed at in the past the attitude from everyone who works here is always positive and they are willing to accommodate your needs. Even little changes like I wanted to order one cookie but the order had two or I wanted to substitute avocado instead of chicken- they were willing and happy to do this. When you spend so much money you want the best service and The Four Seasons always delivers.
3. Cleanliness of the rooms, property, and pool. The rooms are neutral and modern in design and feel peaceful and relaxing. Each room had a balcony and we even enjoyed a room upgrade without even asking for it.

4 Coffee in the lobby. This sounds like such a minor thing but having good coffee and tea in the lobby is such a nice luxury. I looked forward to getting up each morning, grabbing a coffee, and taking a long walk on the beach before breakfast.
5. So many complimentary amenities. Complimentary amenities including sunscreen and Popsicles at the pool, coffee and tea in the lobby, house car and bicycles, free Wi-Fi, digital access to newspapers, daily fitness classes, spa access including whirlpool and steam, just to name a few. This place takes care of you they are not interested in nickel and diming you for every little item.
6. New Four Seasons App. I used the Four Season App the entire time to check fitness class schedules, book spa appointments, request housekeeping/ turn down service, and to order room service. The app was easy to use and it was nice to be able to personalize and customize our stay. Check out is super easy with the app as well. If you're visiting a Four Seasons I highly recommend you download and use the new app.
7. High quality food and drinks. Every meal, whether is was our daily breakfast at Graze , the occasional room service, lounging at the bar, or eating at Jove- everything we ate was delicious, fresh, and made to order. Without even asking all our salads and meals were split ahead of time for us. The pool side menu was great too and I liked how it included several healthy salad options.
My favorite dish was the Tuna and Salmon Chirashi which came highly recommended by Chris, one of our favorite staff members. Basically this dish is a deconstructed sushi roll consisting of sushi style tuna and salmon, sticky rice, avocado, cucumber, tempura, sweet soy, and kimchi aioli.
8. Beautiful and well kept beaches. This private white sand beach was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed our twice daily strolls on the beach.
9.The Spa. The spa was heavenly and so luxurious. I booked the 50 minute Reflexology and Aneesh experienced the 50 minute Ocean Bliss massage. We also took full advantage of the full spa experience including the whirlpool, steam, sauna, and relaxation lounge.
10. Home Away From Home. The Four Seasons Palm beach is THE perfect place for a relaxing getaway and our stay truly felt like home away from home. Best of all everyone here is treated like a VIP. I can't wait to come back again next year!
One evening after our massages at the spa, we ordered coffee and cookies, watched several episodes of House of Cards, and had a super lazing evening.
