2 Marriott Hotels Feature Gold Coast Florida Cooking

Florida's Gold Coast, a special stretch from Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale is defined as much by waterfront mega mansions as by small walk able towns anchored by beach front parks perfect for pickup volleyball and reveling in the wide open Atlantic. In recent years, Marriott has successfully captured the best of this region by developing boutique hotel experiences on Palm Beach's Singer Island and Pompano Beach featuring onsite dining featuring Gold Coast Florida's bounty.

 

Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island

Outfitted with your very own fully equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher as well as 3 popular on site dining possibilities, you really don't need to summon valet for off property excursions when it's time to eat. Choices span an exclusive 5-seat Kitchen Table experience at 3800 Ocean to fresh-made margaritas and Mexican specialties at Lagoon Cantina.

3800 Ocean is where prime oceanfront views are only matched by the dishes coming out of the "collective kitchen" helmed by Executive Chef Dean Max. Inspired by the personal influences and cultural backgrounds of each chef, their combined talents are unleashed on the area's rich bounty creating a daily-changing menu featuring dishes like Florida Orange Soy Glazed Grilled Cobia and Grapefruit Roasted Half Chicken. The bar at 3800 Ocean's Lounge, fondly known as artisan cocktail central, is lined with jars of fresh garnishes, limes, and other fruits just waiting for the blender.

After paddle boarding, kayaking, or snorkeling courtesy of on site rentals, Caribbean beach shack-style Reef Tiki Bar serves up Pacific Rim inspired eats and drinks like the resort's signature Coconut Island Breeze in a fresh cracked coconut.

Marriott Pompano Beach Resort and Spa

Paying homage to Prohibition-era legend William Frederick McCoy, an in depth photo exhibit of Roy and his partner Gertrude Lythgoe on a wall inside McCoy's Oceanfront offers a mini history lesson showing these rum-runners bootlegging cases of rum just offshore from Bimini. The drinks menu extends this speakeasy milieu into your glass with cocktails like Giggle Water (Crop Organic Cucumber Vodka mixed with fresh lemonade). Seasonally inventive dishes include fresh breaded Florida Pompano or their house made Gnocchi with Florida Rock Shrimp and saffron. Outdoor patio seating overlooking the pools adds another dimension of social space under the open sky and swaying palms.
