Throughout South Florida just the mere mention of the Breakers Resort causes a person to imagine palm trees gently swaying in the breeze, the cool crystal blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the sort of pampering that everyone should experience at least once in their lives. Situated on 140 acres of beach front property, the Breakers is the most luxurious place to stay while visiting Palm Beach County. For over 100 years the resort has acted as a vacation playground to families and couples as well as the rich and famous. Even by Palm Beach's standards this is the creme de la creme.
