However, the accessibility of that elegance comes into play when one realizes they're eating exceptional fine dining just a few tables over from a kid in his flip-flops eating one of the best meals of his life as well! When my older son's kid's menu pizza came out - served on a pizza stone with crust that rivals any pizza place in the area - both my wife and I wondered if we should've ordered that instead. Thankfully, there were leftovers!
The restaurant also offers specials like half off craft cocktails Sunday-Thursday, half off wine on Tuesdays and half off starters on Wednesdays.
The property also has a lot of the little touches that other resorts tend to miss. A secluded "hammock garden" of hanging swings isn't a necessity, but for a few brief moments, you can't imagine why any resort wouldn't have one! My kids were hooked when they were handed plush turtles on arrival, but lost their minds when they learned about the awesomely retro gaming room. One can even check out a telescope from the front desk, head out onto the private beach and stargaze the night away - an experience potentially dwarfed by heading out to that same beach the night sea turtles are hatching!
The Jupiter area itself doesn't scream upscale luxury, but it does exude fun, beautiful nature and scenery and is just a short drive from literally anything one could want in nightlife or shopping both in Jupiter as well as in nearby West Palm Beach. The town is almost taking its cue from the resort, as it shows signs of transforming from sleepy little beach town into luxury destination with shopping complexes and restaurants that add a little gilded edge to small-town Florida life.
Jupiter offers world-class fishing due to its location by the Gulfstream and features plenty of natural Florida beauty. Go climb the picturesque and historic Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse or head to one of the many (free) wildlife conservation centers within minutes from the resort. My entire family enjoyed the Loxahatchee River Center,Busch Wildlife Sanctuary and especially the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, which has treated and released well over 1,000 sea turtles. We also spent an evening on Jupiter's Riverwalk, which provided a nice relaxing stroll as well as plenty to see and do.

If you can pull away from Sinclair's, the property also has a relaxed poolside venue called "The Sandbar" which also offers service at the pool and on the resort's secluded, private beach. Off the resort, the area has tons of incredible dining opportunities including Guanabanas, which feels like you're eating in a beach-front tropical tree house and was recommended by just about everyone from the resort; as well as Little Moir's Food Shack which comes recommended by Zagat as one of the best restaurants not only in Florida, but in the entire country. Its "Sweet and Spicy" bowl with coconut rice rivaled the grilled bronzini from Sinclair's as the best food on our trip.
Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa will make you feel like you're home in a way most have not experienced both with top-notch amenities and service as well as a beautiful location and attitude. Once you get there, you will not want to leave.
