Question
Do you have any
suggestions regarding a good venue in the Boca Raton area for a company
outing/pincnic?
Answer
You may want to visit
http://www.ci.boca-raton.fl.us/parks/parkslist1.cfm for a list of Boca
Raton parks. Spanish River Park is a very nice park located on
A1A (right next to the beach).
If you don't mind a little south of Boca
in Deerfield Beach, I know that Quiet Waters Park is a
very nice
place to have a company picnic with activities for children. You can
visit

Question
Are
there any upscale hotels on the beach in Boca Raton?
Answer
For
the most part, luxury condos comprise most of the real estate along the
beach in Boca.
However, you may want to look into the Radisson Bridge
Resort on the IntraCostal waterway
and only a 5 minute walk to the
beach. This is an upscale boutique-style resort with Mizner
style
architecture.

Question
Hi--I
am looking for someplace to go for spring break and I was wondering if
Boca Raton
attracts a young crowd? Thanks.
Answer
Boca
Raton is not really known as a place for Spring Break. You might
want to try Ft.
Lauderdale's Beach Place or Miami's South Beach.
Both of these are places that attract
young lively crowds.
Good
Luck.
