Address: 3700 N. Ocean Dr.
Description: Singer Island is its own little piece of paradise. Set apart from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway—and the highest bridge you’ll ever cross—it’s a very special spot in Palm Beach County.The 223 guest rooms and suites at this Hilton property run the gamut from one-bed island-view to upper-level ocean view. All are open and airy and light-colored, bringing the deep blues of the Florida skies and the aquamarine ocean and Intracoastal into even sharper focus. Every room has a minibar, coffeemaker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, walk-out balcony, work desk, and minifridge, along with extra touches such as Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries. If you’ve got business to conduct, there are meeting rooms and a full-service business center.You can swim at a pool overlooking the ocean, go jet-skiing or snorkeling, or work out in the fitness center, and perhaps afterward, work out the kinks in a hot tub. There’s golf everywhere around you—more courses than you could play if you stayed here for months. A gift shop has snacks and sundries, and a newsstand lets you keep up with what’s going on in the world (if you really want to!).The seaside Coconuts Restaurant specializes in the bounty of the ocean, with items such as spicy rare tuna or blackened mahi mahi with lemon. And if you ever get a hankering for the bright lights and amusements of the mainland, it’s just on the other side of that very-tall bridge. Pets up to 75 pounds allowed for $75 non-refundable fee.
