DELRAY BEACH, Florida (December 22, 2014) – Ocean Properties Ltd. today announced the completion of a revitalization project at the 115-room oceanfront Delray Sands Resort on Highland Beach, a member of the company’s prestigious Opal Collection. Located between Delray Beach and Boca Raton on a quiet stretch of sandy Atlantic shoreline, the new Delray Sands Resort now offers exceptional amenities, including ocean-inspired guestrooms and suites, oceanfront meeting and event space and an all-new dining experience with breathtaking ocean views.
“It’s uncommon to find a comfortable, luxury resort located directly on the beach in South Florida, so we’ve designed the property to showcase its greatest asset and incorporate ocean elements throughout,” said Andy Berger, Vice President of Operations at Ocean Properties.
According to Berger, each aspect of the resort has been designed to evoke the sea, including a beautiful water feature that greets guests as they enter the new lobby and continue along a meticulously landscaped path to the resort’s guestrooms, pool and the beach. The revitalized guest rooms feature comfortable furnishings and amenities such as mini refrigerators, in-room coffee makers and premium cable channels, as well as furnished balconies on rooms overlooking the pool or beach.
“Beyond the new lobby and their guestrooms, our guests will even be able to experience this ocean inspiration on the menu at Latitudes, which we believe will be the area’s best new restaurant,” added Berger.
The focal point of the resort, Latitudes is an all-new oceanfront restaurant and lounge comprised of five social and dining spaces, including the main dining room with views of the ocean, an outdoor ocean terrace, the new Wave Pool Bar and private social event spaces. With a modern coastal palette of bright sea salt white, deep ocean blues and driftwood oak, the innovative design of the main dining room features terraced seating areas that cascade down to the ocean, giving every guest an ocean view. Drawing on his New England background, Chef Mattaeus Schkrioba will create menus featuring farm-to-table selections and a refreshing blend of bright new flavors and classic seafood dishes.
For special occasions, the resort’s two indoor spaces and outdoor terrace make it an ideal location for beachfront weddings or corporate events. Overlooking Highland Beach, the Windrift Room accommodates up to 100 guests and features a stunning wall of floor-to-ceiling windows providing picturesque views. The outdoor poolside space easily accommodates 60 guests for cocktail receptions, rehearsal dinners or even outdoor meetings. The resort’s on-site sales manager and wedding specialist work directly with each guest to meet specific needs and execute a flawless event.
