Thanks!

The Westin is located on the southern end of Palm Beach, but not the end. The Divi Phoenix timeshare is the last resort property on that stretch. The area is much windier than the other resorts along Palm Beach. We were told it has something to do with the way in which the tower is positioned.

The standards as Westin customers are generally accustomed to, are usually one of the bigger disappoints as well. The other negative is an outdated pool.
