Inside the recently renovated expansive lobby, adorned with fresh tropical flowers, towering trees, hanging lounge chairs, and freestanding reception desks your anticipation mounts. Is it time for lunch by the pool? Of course, but make sure you start with one of the delicious frozen tropical cocktails at Cascades Pool Bar, before your chow-down on excellent fish tacos, burgers, or crafted salad. Spend your afternoon by the pool, where chairs are safely distanced, or walk along the beach with your feet in the surf. The sunrise is magical on Delray Beach and not to be missed. Delray Beach is a hub for the creative arts and Atlantic Avenue is full of unique and hips shops to explore.

Delray beach is an acclaimed dining destination. There are beautiful candle-lit fine-dining spots, forward-focused cuisine eateries, and live music joints all walking distance from the hotel. Make sure you check-in with Patricia the well-versed concierge at the Opal Grand Ocean Front Resort and Spa, who can arrange golfing, outdoor activities and make reservations for you Delray’s hotspots. Just a short walk down A1A is the very popular Boston On The Beach where you can catch sporting events, live music and enjoy Florida casual dining. The finest oceanfront dining in Delray is at 50 Ocean, located on the second floor above Boston’s. 50 Ocean is a Delray institution, highly regarded for its fine cuisine, fresh seafood, excellent service, and stunning ocean views. Delray Beach is authentic, inclusive, and casually cool, a fun place without the pretense of the posturing of some of its neighboring towns. The finest qualities of Delray are reflected in the warm, welcoming, and high-standard of hospitality at this picture-perfect escape destination The Opal Grand Oceanfront Resort and Spa.
