The Caribbean Court Hotel 

When you are in the Treasure Coast area of Florida which includes Vero Beach and Ft. Pierce, you now have a handful of deluxe class hotels that offers many of the amenities of the large five star hotels of Europe and Asia.  The Caribbean Court Hotel is a quaint yet modern boutique hotel of only 18 rooms, each with its own special character.   

The brainchild of Boris Gonzales, this unique hotel has evolved after extensive renovation of an older hotel that did not survive the ravages of neglect or hurricanes.  Mr. Gonzales, with his personal touch and fine taste, has not overlooked any details during the renovation of this magnificent  property located in Vero Beach just a hundred yards from the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  When arriving at the Caribbean Court, you see beautifully landscaped grounds with a tropical appearance that makes you feel like you are on an island in the Caribbean.  The parking area is tastefully done with paver stones instead of the mundane concrete or asphalt parking lots at other hotels.  Your first impression is that you have arrived at a private estate to spend the day or evening.  We also found out that the Mercedes in the parking lot was available to pick up guests who arrived on their private planes in Vero Beach or who flew in to West Palm Beach.  It is like staying at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong and being picked up at the airport in their Rolls Royce.    

  When we were taken to our room on the second floor, we found a very nice room with everything that one would expect from a five star hotel.  The furniture in the room included antiques, a very comfortable bed, a mini kitchen area to make coffee, toast, or cook a small meal in the microwave, a mini bar stocked with wines and champagne, bright and colorful art, a hand painted sink, and a day bed.  The bathroom area was renovated to the maxi considering the limitations because of the size available from the original building.  We opened the door to our veranda and we had a magnificent view of the courtyard below with the fantastic plants, flowers and trees along with the crystal clear blue water pool below.   After five minutes at the hotel, just fell in love with the understated  property. 

This is a perfect place for businesses or groups to have a retreat or meeting for their employees or executives.  This is also a great setting for a wedding or family reunion.  Everything is available, good food, good lodging, great pool and garden area, the beach, and closeness to the restored beach area of Vero Beach with the designer shops and galleries.  You can get anything from a delicious ice cream cone to a fine Rolex watch or an exquisite piece of fine art all located within a few blocks of each other.  www.caribbeancourt.com
