The 94-room upscale Costa d'Este Beach
Resort is a breezy, modern hotel with a truly indulgent feel, owned by singer
Gloria Estefan and her husband. The resort consists of two five-story towers,
and many of the rooms have gorgeous Atlantic Ocean views. The property offers access to a beautiful beach, as well as a full-service spa, small but attractive outdoor pool, and stylish restaurant
serving locally sourced cuisine -- but expect to pay a resort fee and extra for breakfast. The guest rooms are spotless and high-end, with
expensive looking marble bathrooms and custom teak furnishings; the sumptuous suites have soaking tubs. With its relaxed elegance and chic poolside scene, the hotel suits younger friends and couples keen on soaking up the Vero Beach sun.

Scene
Sand, waves, and celebrity, with palm trees and breezy modern style
The door hangers at the Costa d’Este Beach
Resort read “Too Fabulous to Be Disturbed,” and the resort’s atmosphere is
luxurious enough to make each guest feel as fabulous as celebrity owner Gloria
Estefan. The property’s beautiful sandy beach and rolling Atlantic waves have
inspired the gleaming white and natural wood decor seen throughout the open
and airy interiors. The landscaping, with requisite palm trees, includes a picturesque
strip of beach grass between the resort and sand -- one example of the attention to detail evident at the property. The atmosphere at the
Costa d’Este manages to combine a modern Miami vibe with a touch of quintessential Florida, as the hallways, furniture, and even various porthole-style windows curve
beautifully, echoing the waves a few yards down the beach. Guests who want a
vacation that feels like a true escape, but with close proximity to top golf courses
and theme parks, will find the Costa d’Este Beach
Resort to be a good fit.
Location
On the beach, near culture, dining, and plenty of golf

conveniently located on a pretty, palm-lined boulevard in a lovely area of
small town Vero Beach. The Vero Beach Museum of Art and Riverside Theatre are a 15-minute walk, and there are several restaurants within a few minutes' stroll, plus a Saturday farmers' market less than five minutes away on foot. There are five golf courses within 15 miles of the
resort. Vero Beach Marina is just over a mile away, and the Vero Beach Country Club is three miles off. The Kennedy
Space Center is within an hour-and-a-half drive, close enough for a phenomenal day trip.
