Fodor's Expert Review Opal Grand Resort

By far the largest hotel in Delray Beach, this resort, formerly a Marriott, has two towers on a stellar plot of land at the east end of Atlantic Avenue—it's the only hotel that directly overlooks the water, yet it is still within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Rooms and suites are spacious, and many have stunning ocean views. If you want a bit of pampering, there's also a spa. Furthermore, the property houses eight tricked-out Villas by the Sea, catering to its most well-heeled guests. The main resort pool is surrounded by a comfortable deck, and there's a second pool in a quiet area that's just for adults.
