I am thankful for being able to tag along with my wife for the Legends of Boca Experience at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. We enjoyed two nights’ accommodations in their renovated guest rooms, a private cocktail mixer with tennis legend Jimmy Connors, and a massage at the Waldorf Astoria Spa, named #1 Spa in the World in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards!
This place is even sexy when it rains.
Although the forecast was mostly rainy and overcast, my spirit never dampened during my two days at the Boca Raton Resort & Club .
There is never a shortage of things to do here.
It is kind of hard to come down with cabin fever in a place like this.
After two days of being mostly indoors, I still don’t think I had enough time to soak everything in.
For Sunday breakfast we enjoyed a world class breakfast buffet.
Of course we visited the omelette station.
and the bagel station…
I also enjoyed a few hot items.
Although the weather forced a change in plans…
I just used the lush tropical canopy as an umbrella and took off exploring.
On some areas of the property it feels like you are walking through a rain forest.
In-between rain showers and events, I somehow found time to walk the entire grounds. Maybe next time I’ll play some golf.
There was no shortage of quiet places to sit and enjoy nature.
Many of the tropical plants and trees I had never seen before.
Now for my 50 minute deep tissue massage in the Waldorf Astoria Spa!
As a massage therapist and former massage therapy instructor, I can be hard client when it comes to getting a massage. After 12 years of experience, I have pretty much seen everything and have received many more massages than your average customer. I can be difficult to impress. When I rate a spa experience, I do so not just as a customer, but also a professional in the field and as a teacher. My spa experience at the Waldorf Astoria Spa was truly world class. The atmosphere is top notch, my therapist was highly skilled, communicated effectively, and provided me with an excellent deep tissue massage. She balanced her time precisely and made sure to address each of my problem areas. I can honestly say this has been one of the best spa experiences ever.
After the massage, it was off to the shower, then I had to sneak a peek in the Ritual Bath Room. Since I had the joint all to myself, I also snuck a dip in the whirlpool.
I could spend many more days just studying the art and architecture in this place.
And roaming the halls
And sleeping in a really comfortable bed.
But like all good things, it had to end and I had to go back home. Until next time you sexy, sexy place.
let me have that spa all day long I love it. Outside may be dreary but the inside and the atmosphere would make up for all of that. Love the photos!
Wow! This looks so beautiful and relaxing! That spa looks fantastic! Makes me want a great getaway like this! Till the end of the year rolls around I get burned out and need a break this would do the trick for sure 🙂
What a beautiful property! It looks like a hotel that you would see somewhere in Europe or South America! I really love the colors of the exterior walls and that food looks so yummy – it sounds like you had a fun trip in Boca Raton! 😀
Your pictures are just drop dead gorgeous! What an awesome trip. Boca Raton, is a place that I have heard about but not many people that I know have visit it. Now, this is something I am going to have to talk to my friends about, Boca Raton Resort & Club here we come!
This is a great place to visit! I never been to Legends of Boca and all those photos just made me want to add it to my bucket list. I should really start saving today to get to this lovely place. 🙂
Wow – this whole place looks absolutely stunning. I have never been to Boca Raton, but I think it just landed on my bucket list. I love your gorgeous photography – especially the jungle. It looks so lush! Thank you for sharing!
Wow looks like an amazing hotel to stay at. I love to find places like this with so much history evident but there are so many luxuries. The whirlpool would be my favorite to visit in the hotel.
Oh my word…. I am in love! The hot tub looks so amazing and it’s sad but I could totally see myself in there falling asleep! Haha That could be because I am currently tired and want to sleep but oh man, that hot tub looks amazing! Everything looks truly amazing! I want to go!! And your photos, are beautiful!!
