I have to share about the fantastic three-day trip my husband and I recently took to Jensen Beach, Florida. We were both so excited to explore a new spot on Florida’s east coast and try out this hotel we’d heard so much about. Let me tell you, Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa did not disappoint! Looking for a a new vacation spot, read more for my Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa in Jensen Beach Hotel Review.
The resort is nestled right along the glistening shores, offering a perfect blend of laid-back vibes and upscale amenities. It was like the Atlantic Ocean was right at our doorstep, adding to the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a fun family vacation, or even a getaway with your girlfriends, this place has something for everyone. We felt pampered and taken care of every moment we were there.
Getting There
Jensen Beach is such a gem along Florida’s East Coast, and it’s very easy to get to. If you’re flying, the closest major airport is Palm Beach International (PBI), just about a 45-minute drive away. My husband and I decided to drive from Naples, crossing Alligator Alley, which took us around 3 hours. The drive was actually quite enjoyable, and it gave us a chance to catch up and enjoy the scenery.
Our Resort Experience
The moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most stunning ocean views and the friendliest staff. The resort has this chic coastal design that feels both elegant and super relaxing.
Our room was fantastic—spacious with a beautiful ocean view that we could have stared at all day. Once we unpacked, we quickly changed and headed to the Dune Beach Bar, which is just a few steps from the beach. We grabbed a bite to eat there, and the bartender whipped up some refreshing margaritas that were just perfect.
Later on, our friends who live nearby picked us up from the hotel and took us on a little tour of downtown Stuart. It’s such a charming area! We ended up at The District Table & Bar, a fun local spot that used to be a bank. We had the best time dining on a delicious peach salad, cheesy street corn, and some fantastic fried chicken, all while reminiscing about old times and catching up.
I was lucky to wake up early the next morning and catch the most breathtaking sunrise. Our room had a Nespresso coffee maker, so I made myself a cup and sat out on the balcony, just soaking in the glistening shoreline. It was the perfect way to start the day.
Later, my husband and I headed to the Drift Kitchen & Bar located in the resort for a bountiful breakfast. The food was amazing, and we were ready to explore more of this beautiful place. There’s so much to do here—though I knew we’d eventually end up by the pool, soaking up the sun.
First, I had to check out the spa. They offer so many relaxing services, and though they have a fitness center, we were determined on getting outdoors. We took a long walk on the beach and then enjoyed a refreshing swim in the ocean. The resort has two pools, several cozy firepits, and a soaking spa with a waterfall, making it easy to unwind.
After a blissful day relaxing at the resort, we discovered the fun game area with ping pong, bags, and even a giant chess board. In the evening, we met up with our friends again in downtown Stuart for a delicious Italian meal at Pepe Sale.
The next morning, we started the morning with another stunning sunrise and a cup of coffee on the balcony. Afterward, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Drift Kitchen & Bar before heading to the beach for a morning walk. It was so peaceful, and we got to experience some unique local happenings: a lecture about nesting turtles, surfers catching waves, and even a fisherman making a catch. It was such a vibrant scene!
Later in the day, I met up with my girlfriend for coffee at Jan’s in downtown Jensen Beach. If you ever leave the hotel, you have to check this place out. It’s a quaint little area with a charming, artistic vibe. Downtown Jensen Beach feels like a cozy beach village with its unique shops, restaurants, and bars—it’s a must-see.
