Public transit and trains

Palm Tran buses serve the broader Palm Beach Gardens area and The Gardens Mall nearby; route schedules and connections vary by day and require planning if you choose to travel without a car.
- Brightline: alight at West Palm Beach station, then use local transit or rideshare for the final leg.
- Palm Tran buses run several routes that access The Gardens Mall area close to the resort; check Palm Tran schedules for exact stops and times.
- Public-transit options are lower cost but significantly slower and less direct than a taxi or rideshare.

| Palm Tran buses | Budget travelers comfortable with transfers and longer travel times |
| Taxi/rideshare from WPB station | Quick final-leg option after arriving by train or bus |
