My husband and I stayed for four nights over MLK weekend. Given some of the recent postings, we were quite concerned about our selection. We actually found the resort quite delightful. Our experience may be influenced by the fact that we had a very reasonable, in-season rate. However, our 9th floor room was very comfortable and well furnished. The bathroom was large and featured a double shower. The best thing about it was the fabulous view off the balcony.

It's true that the beach has experienced significant erosion. The pool remains a great alternative and they even have a sand terrace with loungers. The restaurant at the pool served great food and the staff were all quite friendly. It was a bit crowded on the nice days but that seems to come with the territory in the winter.

The exercise facility was well equipted and always empty. Front desk staff were polite and helpful. The best part of our experience was the dinner we had on our final night. Sinclair's was a reat treat. While not inexpensive, the quality of the food and service justified the prices.

This was our first trip to the Jupiter area and we loved the town. It has a more relaxed feel to it than Palm Beach or Delray. Less traffic but just as many good restaurants.

JBR is not a five star, Four Seasons experience. It's a beautiful, comfortable beach resort that we will most certainly return to.

Our otherwise nice, three-day stay in an ocean-view room (costing more than $1300 with all the state and local taxes) was marred by an intermittent stench of sewage coming from the shower in our room. We reported it three times, and each time the hotel said it was sending "Engineering" to fix the problem. However, "Engineering" was a young man, looking to be about high school age. The first time he arrived with a tiny plunger, spent five minutes and said "you're good to go." Second time he poured some yellow crystals down the shower drain and pronounced the problem fixed. Third time I don't know what he did, but I do know we had the smell of sewage back again.

Other than that the room was nice - beautiful furnishings, a great bed with wonderful linens and that view! But to spend the better part of $1500 in three nights and have a shower smelling of excrement is totally unacceptable. Jupiter Beach Resort's Management has not responded to either of my enquiries, in writing, about this.

As for service, it was mediocre at best. Most of the employees seemed to think that requests were bothering them or cutting in on their personal time. The lone employee at the front desk each time I interacted with him or her was semi-polite but not remotely friendly or helpful. Even a request for a newspaper to the telephone operator was met with a long pause and an indication that this was an unusual request. The only truly outstanding service was room service breakfast, both delicious and reasonably priced.

My wife, myself, and our two sons (age 5 and 3) stayed at Jupiter Beach Resort for 2 nights while attending a wedding in Palm Beach. We were willing to spend the extra money for this resort due to the advertised beautiful beach and heated swimming pool. The beach has been completeley eroded so ignore photos of the beach. The pool heater was broken and it seemed there was no activity to repair it. There was just enough sand and reef to walk on along the beach, and the resort has beach chairs which you can see, but they are locked up. There were no staff members available to unlock the chairs for us. I asked 6 staff people around the pool area how I can get some beach chairs and nobody had any idea, nor could they direct me to someone who did. Sinclair's bar at night was excruciating - each night the bartenders were PAINFULLY slow to a comedic point. Indeed it appeared they were bumbling back there on purpose. When a customer commented at the unendurable wait for a drink, and the bartender overheard her, he refused to acknowledge her presence for the rest of the evening and others had to get drinks for her. The rooms are beautiful and the resort is nice otherwise. The food is fine, especially breakfast. However, it is SO EXPENSIVE and it seems way overpriced to me.

Great hotel and great stay! Already planning another trip to the area and will definitely stay there. Nicole, sales rep was the best!
