| Boca Raton Resort & Club: Surf & Golf! Image by Miami Fashion Spotlight. |
As our duty to inform readers, we are always writing about extra amenities and services that make a big difference in five star hotels, and even more important in what makes a hotel “special class”–let’s start by saying Boca Raton Resort & Club, is a very special A-one!
Water and Land: The compatibility between the elements
We let our imagination run wild and decided this time to try some of the most important amenities that this hotel offers: Surf & Golf. On the first day we took our own private surf lessons, and on the second one we played golf at the legendary golf course (ranked among Golf Digest’s “Top 75 Courses in North America”).

Water: One-of-a-kind surf for beginners!
Anxious to learn something new, we met early with surf instructor, Morgan Baer and his team of professionals at the Surf School by Billabong at the Beach Club (Billabong is the renowned Australian surf-wear company that sponsors surf competitions around the world as well as Costa del Este Water Sports).
Believe or not, we were standing up on the board on our fourth attempt. The techniques and instructions provided by Morgan makes everything fun and easier. We recommend to beginners taking classes in groups for extra fun! The surf school also provides a Billabong lycra rash guard for each student, a customize video and photo emailed. The activities include: surfing, standing up, paddle boarding, surf contest and ocean awareness, among others.
This multi-sensory experience taught us something very important– balance is everything in life!

Land: Golf Vacations!
The next day and just a short shuttle ride from Boca Beach Club, we were ready at 8:30 AM for the 18-hole championship course. Our experience began as soon as we walked on to the beautifully maintained links with all skill levels: par 71; 6,253 yards; slope – 128; 12 water hazards, including a signature water feature designed by Hugh Hughes. This resort course gave us an amazing, challenging game!
If you are a golf lover, we recommend this destination as an unforgettable golf getaway.

Dine & Wine
We couldn’t finish this review without sharing our fine dining experience at Lucca Restaurant. This Mediterranean style restaurant overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway with an open kitchen that serves inventive Tuscan cuisine, and the list of award-winning wines is to die for!
We tried the scallops picatta served with caramelized spaghetti squash and lemon sage brown butter along with the Prosecco Lunetta and the exquisite Tiramisu as desert–“Bravissimi!”
