Quick Verdict: The Cottages at PGA National Resort vs White Elephant Palm Beach

When The Cottages at PGA National Resort wins: choose the cottages for roomy, Serena & Lily–designed two-bedroom accommodations, extensive resort pools and the resort’s large 40,000 sq ft spa and multiple dining venues — ideal for golfers, multi-generation groups and families.

When White Elephant Palm Beach wins: pick White Elephant for an intimate, high-rated boutique stay a short drive from Palm Beach’s main shopping and beachfront areas — better for couples or travelers prioritizing a compact luxury base and easy access to Worth Avenue and the beach shuttle.

Bottom line: both properties are polished luxury options but serve different trip priorities — PGA National is a full-service resort campus with golf and family amenities; White Elephant is a small Palm Beach boutique if you want proximity to the ocean and the town’s shops and restaurants.
