"Eau" is the French word for "water," pronounced like a short "o" -- good to know if you're a guest at the five-star rated Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa.

Located in the small beach community of Manalapan, some 12 miles south of Palm Beach, the 309-room resort sits on seven acres along the Atlantic Ocean and for five years running has been recognized as Florida’s top resort in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
