  Beautiful hotel with a calm and serene atmosphere The Four Seasons in Palm Beach is a very beautiful hotel. The building itself is a bit old, but the rooms are clean, comfortable and nicely designed. They are not very large, but cozy, with a good shower, great amenities and extremely good service. There are two lovely restaurants on the property and the breakfast is very good. I ordered only from the à la carte menu and the staff were always very accommodating. We attended a wedding at the hotel and it was organized beautifully. The beach is absolutely stunning, with white sand and very comfortable sunbeds. The bed in the room is also very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm, peaceful and serene. I truly love this place and would definitely recommend staying here.

  I’m standing on the trapezoid-shaped balcony of the One Bedroom Suite, and today has been the most beautiful day I’ve had in Miami since arriving in October. I earned early outsized returns in the AI industry and now invest in large language models, and I rely on AI for almost everything: planning my 365-day global travel routes, choosing cities by climate, evaluating hotels and room types, allocating budgets, pulling offers and coupons from hotel websites to optimize pricing, and generating low-cognitive pre-arrival notes for hotel teams. 1. Studio vs One Bedroom Suite: the real difference is how close you are to the shoreline Before checking in, I followed AI’s suggestion and booked an Ocean View Studio. It has a simple layout and a large balcony facing the ocean, averaging about $1,800 for 22 nights, while the One Bedroom Suite Ocean Front averages close to $4,000. With only a difference between 51 sqm and 64 sqm, the price gap didn’t make sense. ChatGPT said the Studio was angled; Gemini said both were front-facing but the Studio might be blocked by the pool and palm trees. After staying here, I realized both missed the true distinction: it is not the angle or the floor, but how far the room sits from the sea. The Studio is set behind the pool area and pushed back by palm trees, so even though it faces the ocean, it feels more distant. The One Bedroom Suite sits almost directly on the shoreline, placing you beside the ocean with wind, waves, light, and movement close in front of you. 2. Acoustic architecture: two trapezoid balconies creating a natural dual-channel sound field This suite’s balconies are not simple rectangles. One is deeper and one shallower, both carved inward toward the interior. The deeper balcony brings in fuller, lower-frequency wave sound; the shallow one brings in brighter, higher-frequency sound. Together they create a natural surround effect using only the building’s geometry. When I later revisited the hotel website, I noticed the line “Fall asleep with the Atlantic sound,” which reflects the intent of this design. 3. Sacrificing interior space for balcony experience: a quiet kind of luxury The floor plan shows how the room gives up interior area to make space for the two trapezoid balconies, forming a slightly irregular interior with softened edges. The deeper balcony creates real depth for standing, sitting, and moving around; the fan-shaped opening expands the view and natural light; and the overall shape blocks wind, letting you stay outside even on warm rainy days. The suite steps back on interior square footage to offer a closer, more complete experience with the ocean. It is a quiet, understated form of luxury. 4. Rain, waves, clouds, and the balcony: a small natural cinematic moment I was lucky to be here on a warm, low-wind rainy day. The sky moved between dim and bright; the rain shifted from heavy to fine and drifted lightly into the balcony; the sea changed from greenish to gray-blue; white waves layered onto the sand; birds flew close through the rain adjusting their posture mid-air. Visibility blurred and returned, turning the scene into a quiet natural film. This weather isn’t daily, but staying longer (I stayed 22 nights) gives you the chance to encounter a day like this—warm, rainy, cloudy, and full of movement. 5. Who this resort is perfect for: quiet, smooth, and wrapped in nature This is a truly silent resort. The pool rarely plays music, and the restaurant only plays very soft blues. There is no forced sense of ceremony and no display-type luxury. Its beauty comes from its quietness and acoustic intention. Service is smooth, unobtrusive, and well-timed. The cleanliness of the tile edges, the condition of the wallpaper, and the feel of the curtains and sofa fabrics show how carefully this older resort has been maintained. It is ideal for people who love quiet, have minimal social needs, enjoy thinking or talking to AI, have no permanent home, and live year-round in hotels.

  I recently stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach and was shocked by how atypical the experience was for a brand I've always known for luxury and impeccable service. Upon arrival, I wasn't greeted by anyone—no one offered to help with my bags, and the valet/doormen were too busy chatting among themselves or assisting other guests. It wasn't a huge issue, but it set the tone for the rest of the stay. While waiting for our room, we spent 2-3 hours at the beach and could only get one drink the entire time. There was just one server on staff, running herself ragged trying to keep up with everyone. She was working so hard. It was clearly not her fault. It turns out there was a wedding and a bachelorette party that weekend, and management was completely unprepared—despite charging us a higher rate due to the busyness. For $2,000 per night, you expect far better staffing and service. Our room took hours to be ready, and we were upgraded to a suite that was spacious but nothing extraordinary. The shower was tiny, with abysmal water pressure and part of the showerhead not even functioning. We notified the hotel, but there was no follow-up—no maintenance visit, nothing. We were too exhausted from travel to push for a room change, so we just dealt with it. The spa had excellent massage therapists, which was a highlight, but even there, one of the showers had no hot water. I let management know, but when I returned later, it still wasn't fixed—clearly ignored. Additionally, the room phone barely worked, making it hard to contact staff. We didn't formally complain during our stay because we were trying to salvage our vacation and focus on enjoying the moment, but we did report the maintenance issues in hopes of helping future guests. Overall, this felt like a 3-star experience at best, not the 5-star luxury I expect from Four Seasons. Very disappointing, and I won't be returning.
