I stayed at the 5-star Four Seasons in Palm Beach, Florida. I regret booking just one night.

The Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach sits on the coast of Florida.

The oceanfront hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, is four stories tall with 207 rooms and suites — all of which have their own balcony.

Muted colors, sand-colored furnishings, and potted palms created a classic, beachy vibe in the lobby.

I've stayed at three Four Seasons hotels, and one thing I've learned is that each location is designed to suit the destination. So I wasn't surprised when I stepped inside the lobby and found a tropical decor style.

With details like chandeliers resembling ropes and pastel pillows patterned with fruit and leaves, it was impossible to forget I was in Florida.

Once I checked in, I headed to my room.

I booked a Palm View room, complete with a king-sized bed across from a TV, a small sitting area, and plenty of floor space. The interior design blended midcentury modern furnishings with pastel accents, making the room feel like a little beach house.

I had a roomy marble bathroom.

The bathroom had a double sink and vanity, a bathtub, a spacious standing shower, and a toilet separated by a door. I especially appreciated the cozy terry bathrobe. The marble was the color of sand, and the walls were a muted sea green.

My favorite part of the room was the balcony.

It was larger than most hotel room balconies I've seen, and there was a table and two cushioned chairs. As the sun began to set, I sat and took in the view of the gardens and the ocean. I long for more sunsets on this balcony.

After checking out my room, I headed downstairs to take a look at the hotel's amenities, including the five-star spa.

The spa features a eucalyptus steam room, a saltwater whirlpool, and a range of treatments, including massages and facials. With less than 24 hours at this hotel, I didn't have time to use the spa.

Florie's is a Mediterranean restaurant and bar.

If I had another night at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, I would have dined at Florie's.

Herbs in the seasonal cocktails at Florie's Bar come straight from the hotel's garden. For those like me who don't drink, there are plenty of non-alcoholic cocktails available.

The restaurant serves dishes cooked over a live fire, from pizzas to steaks and fish entrées.

Another on-site restaurant, Seaway, sits in the shade beneath sea grape trees.

I would also have loved to dine on the shaded patio at Seaway, a seafood restaurant with a wide selection of proteins, including lobster, stone crab, and local red snappers, as well as oysters, tiger shrimp, and fresh tuna.

Many of the dishes feature tropical ingredients, such as coconut, pomegranate, and mango.

The hotel has two pools — one of which is for adults only.

I wish I'd had time to relax by the pool while being served frozen fruit and cooling towels.

To me, the best part of the hotel was the private beach.

How often do you find a pristine beach free of crowds on a hot day?

Just past the pool at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, a sandy pathway leads to a private beach exclusive to Four Seasons guests. When I went, it was quiet and mostly empty. I wish I could have spent more time on this exclusive strip of the Florida coastline.

I left the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach with one thought — one night just isn't enough.

To truly relax into the luxury beach vibe of this five-star resort, I'll have to return for a longer stay to try the restaurants, experience poolside service, and spend more time on a quiet, peaceful beach.
