We stayed in Vero Beach Hotel and Club as part of our Florida vacation and can only say that this place is truly amazing.

The hotel itself is located in a small seaside village on a quaInt street with shops and boutiques. There are not endless restaurants to choose from, but the ones which are there are fantastic.

Packed with courtesy and style, this hotel is out of this world. The design and layout is exquisite from the ground entrance all the way to the room, which was just luxurious. The interior design is something to be savoured and the pool area is truly delightful.

The only downside to this hotel was leaving, as I could happily have settled for a few more days. Part of the 'Prefered Hotels' group it certainly lives up to it's reputation.

This is a must for anybody staying in Vero. Top recommendation!!!

I received a gift certificate for a "2-day, 1-night hotel stay" around the first of July 2004. It expired on October 15 of that same year.
That unfortunately was the summer my younger brother was killed in a car accident so I couldn't use the certificate in July and in August, the hurricanes began hitting the coast of Florida and in September it got even worse. The bottom line is this hotel was wiped out. I tried calling about using the certificate that spring 2005 but was told the hotel was being rebuilt-- called a couple of time after that and was told the same. It finally re-opened in Feb '07 and I called about using the cerficate and was told by Michelle - that since it was bought and sold they would no longer honor my gift certificate. I told her that I would share how they operate (not honoring prior commitments) with others and that's exactly what I'm doing.

My husband and I have been patiently waiting for this hotel to reopen after having been destroyed by the storms in '05. We were not disappointed. There is really no other place in Vero Beach to stay. There are a couple of run-down, weather-torn, mildew-ridden "motels", but no real options for the seasoned traveler with higher expectations who's willing to pay a bit more to be comfortable. This resort is exactly what we have been waiting for. A place that finally matches the tone of Vero Beach's quieter, more upscale side.

I'll start with the suite first: Phenomenal. Beautiful travertine covered the entire floor. Marble and granite were everywhere. Beautiful linens and furniture. Exquisitely appointed bathrooms with large shower with a separate soaking tub. Great toiletries too (I confess to finding them on-line and purchasing them later for home use!). It was difficult to pin down the Housekeeping schedule, some mornings early, others not until 3:00 pm. The room was meticulously cleaned each day, though. Nightly turndown service was lovely and timely. We slept like babies each night....right up to when construction began each morning on the second phase. It was a bit louder for us as we were in an oceanfront corner suite so we were not buffered by other rooms from the outside noise. The resort also appears to be in possession of the world's only turbine jet engine lawn and landscaping tools. I swear it sounded like there was a turbo-prop airplane landing on our balcony at 7:30 one morning. It turned out to be a landscaper with a leaf blower blowing off the pool deck.

The resort's main restaurant is not opened as of yet. They are operating a small poolside restaurant/bar with a minimal menu in the meantime. The food was satisfactory, but we have other restaurants we have grown to love over the years. The Lemon Tree for breakfast and The Tides for dinner are two of our favorites. And, of course, Bobby's which is right next-door.

There is no guest parking on premises, only valet. There is, however, abundant street parking most nights (the construction workers take up all the spots during the day).

One side note, on our first night, my husband and I sat outside in our white fluffy robes on our balcony and listened to the waves while having a glass of wine. The next morning my husband looked like a smallpox victim. Both of his legs were completely covered with no-see-um bites. These were terribly uncomfortable for him and he wanted me to stress to anyone reading this to remember the bug spray.

We travel to Vero a lot on pleasure and business, and most of the hotels there are old and yucky. This past week we stayed at the brand new Vero Beach Hotel and it was AWESOME.

If there are any complaints here, it is from people who must have stayed there during construction or before it was open. The rooms are gorgeous, brand new and very comfortable.

Construction is going on for the 2 BR condos next door, but it is a wonderful place to stay. Their suites are very similar to Ritz Carlton, and I cannot imagine anyone being unhappy.
