Prior to Arrival
Are there room blocks available to reserve a hotel room?
Yes. Room blocks are available at the Colony Hotel and Hyatt Place to book until May 5, 2024.
The details under the Travel section.
What airport should I fly into?
West Palm Beach Airport (PBI) or Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL)
What is the best way to get around Palm Beach?
We recommend using a ride share app.
If you rent a car, there is valet parking at the Colony Hotel and self-parking at the Hyatt Hotel.
What should I pack for the beach?
The water temperatures are perfect for swimming and snorkeling this time of year, so I recommend bringing goggles or a snorkel kit if you have an interest in that. For time on land, you will want to make sure the beach shoes you pack are fine for walking on sand. The sand is SCORCHING hot this time of year and you will want some protection until you get to the shore.
Is there a gift registry?
No gifts please. You're presence is our present.
