Dover HouseBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Delray Beach is a quiet nice town 1 hour away from Miami. You have everything yoy might need at a short driving distance and the beach is huge and wonderful. My dad just loved the relaxed atmoshpere of the place and spent a lot of time sunbathing on the beach just across the road.

Quick Tips:

Go for dinner or for Breakfast to Boston's on the Beach, in Ocean Boulevard. If you like those huge fry-ups for breakfast, you are in the right place. I enjoyed a lovely crab salad for dinner.

Best Way To Get Around:

The best way to go around is definetely by car, all the most interesting places are easily reachable with the I95. Palm Beach is only 30 minutes away and Miami is one hour away, but be careful of rush hour . . . the times can double.

Best Things Nearby:
There is a big supermarket five minutes away from the resort and the beach is just across the road. Palm Beach is 30 minutes away and Miami is just an hour away.

Best Things About the Resort:
Dover House is an extremely quiet place in a wonderful location, well connected to all amenities. I relaxed on the beach and sitting at the patio outside my unit.

Resort Experience:
Dover House's apartments are basic-furnished, but there are all the necessary conforts to make your stay pleasant. The living room had a queen size sofa-bed and TV, while the kitchen was small, but complete with cooker, oven-grill, microwave, and dishwasher. The bathroom was very confortable and the bedroom had a king-size bed and another TV. One problem: my bedroom was just above the central air conditioning unit, which ran 24 hours a day and was a bit noisy during the night.

What I enjoyed most about the resort was the patio outside the unit, where I spent a lot of time sitting in the shade when I wasn't feeling like going to the beach. The resort also has a small swimming pool, which I didn't use.
