I came to Florida from abroad needing a new guitar. I searched in all of the music stores around South Florida to no avail. Then with a stroke of luck I searched “classical guitar near me” and found Eduardo‘s website Guitars from Spain.
I immediately called the number and was greeted by Eduardo the owner. He was so kind and patient and ready to answer all of my questions with deep knowledge and expertise. I set an appointment for the next day and within two hours I had the most amazing new guitar, far beyond any expectations that I had. The two hours I spent with Eduardo choosing the right guitar for me we’re also Guided by his humble expertise, patience and understanding of the instruments from the makers to the workmanship. If you’re looking for a classical guitar I can’t think of any better place then guitars of Spain. Thank you so very much
Guitars from Spain provided outstanding service. They have a great selection of high quality professional & concert guitars for competitive prices. Ed spends time with you to make sure you are getting the right guitar for yourself and needs. I couldn’t be more pleased with the sound and look of my new guitar with the beautiful granadillo back and sides…great volume and projection! I definitely recommend!
Una maravillosa tarde con el señor eduardo.el trato super.recomiendo 100% este lugar a cualquiera que desee adquirir una guitarra de gran calidad y un buen trato de primera.graciass

Address: 9850 Sandalfoot Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
Thank you for the fair treatment and holding my jewelry. Will definitely come back!!!
They’re so personable and friendly and welcoming and give the best prices and deals!
I love this pawn shop it’s the ONLY pawn shop I use or suggest they are very helpful with anything you’d need they also sell and deal thru eBay for any item you may be looking for they don’t have at the store!!
I thought that all these bad reviews were not right but wow. I would never recommend anybody to go there. This guy a scammer, he will tell you that your jewerly is fake
I rarely ever write bad reviews as you can see but, as soon as you walk in the door, the guy, who I’m assuming is the owner with a birth mark over his face is extremely rude, no greeting or anything. Looks at me and automatically says, and I quote verbatim, “I’m sure you don’t have anything I want, sorry”. I said excuse me, what do you mean? ” I’m not interested in what you have sorry” in I believe an Israeli accent. I had a REAL Solid gold 18k karat bracelet that I proceeded to take out anyways after he said that and he said, “what you want for it?” I told him my price and he said “no, not interested in bracelet”.. I’ve been to a few shady pawn shops but this one tops the cake by far. Save your valuables for a place who isn’t racist and most likely can’t afford what you have. I went to cash for gold on power line and Hillsborough who gladly gave me a fair price and business.
Was not what I was expecting they did not want any of my gold took it somewhere else got a good price would not go there dirty plays anyhow smell like mold
5. Power Audio And Tint
Address: 23133 Sandalfoot Plaza Dr #1, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
There is a wide array of audio and car equipment. They are very helpful in explaining the process and what needs to be done. I have gotten a couple of my cars fitted with new audio systems and they did a good job and very fast.
My only regret about going to power audio and tint is that I didn’t go there sooner. It would have saved me money. Bill is a straight shooter. He gives you the facts and you make the call. Service was impeccable. Thanks Bill.
Very honest and knowledgeable. I really recommend these guys!
Did not clean up the back of the car after taking a tent off I had to go back for a second time
Power Auto and tint replace the factory speakers in my Ford Fusion they did a really good job there speakers are little high priced but for the labor and everything else they did a great job I would definitely approve. I would definitely and recommend to a friend.
Great service and friendly. Our second car here and the tints never bubbles. Excellent job, they know what they’re doing.
I wouldn’t recommend buying the holders for the phone that sticks to the dash. I went in there to try and return it because the phone holder came off the dash but unfortunately I waited too long to return it. So the guy installed it again and but it came off once again.
Don’t recommend service. Over charging people and system stopped working..
Terrible experience. Had to go back twice to get the windows fixed because they did a terrible job the first time. Second time wasn’t much better they still left bubbles in the tints. They leave the car completely dirty inside and out so I had to get it detailed each time and the second time they scratched my trunk multiple times from putting stuff on it. Would not recommended and I will just go elsewhere to get the tints fixed for the third time I give up on going back to them. Only good thing is their customer service but the person who does the tints is careless and must not be experienced. I went by the good reviews and a referral so I guess it must be a new person.
Im beyond disappointed with the service power audio has provided the last few days. I had an amazing experience with Bill before but now they show lack of customer service. Within the last few months I been having audio issues and the tint job is literally falling off. Even after i left work to meet an appt their own staff made, I was told sorry cant help you and we are too busy. After spending quite a bit of money and referring friends family and coworkers I would recommend never dealing with this shop. Better to spend more money and have people follow through then to get push aside and time and money wasted.
6. Whadada Productions Inc
Address: 10088 Aqua Vista Way, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
Did an amazing job putting on new strings and setup for my SG. Good customer service. A+++
Amazing music store with fair prices and great customer service! I’ve used them for vocal lessons and they are my go to place for supplies and repairs.
Love Backstage, they are so nice and friendly. The music lessons offered are great! Really special place, they have really helped my little musician out tremendously!
Small store with limited quantities of product. Although if they should run out of a product they are able to re-order any product you may need. The store was out of French Horn Standard Essential books but they were able to order one for us and have it available for pick up the very next day. Customer Service is great and prices are reasonable – received a text message from Backstage Music when the book arrived in store and was ready for pick up.
This is good place and they are kind. But if you are a professional musician who are using professional instrument and looking for a repair shop, I don’t recommend here.
I’m seeing all of these fantastic reviews, yet my guitar I took in came out of the setup in about the same condition than before, except with new strings. There are still issues like fret buzz and a faulty bridge pickup. The action was set up inconsistently, with my high E string choking out when I bend it higher than a half step. I’d never try to talk down on a small business like this, but this was just the case. With my poor review being an anomaly however, I’m sure that my guitar was a fluke or a bad day for the tech. No disrespect or hard feelings towards him.
It’s great place! Excellent teachers, very kind and sweet team. My kids love it.
My children love going to their lessons. They have learned so much and their teachers are amazing. I love how I can watch them but not be in their space while they are learning. I highly recommend.
This place is asome it is better the most othe music academy’s and it is nice when you work whith the constructers
A family friendly, spiritual, musical organization. I feel it has the same values that I teach at home. My daughter loves Ms. Andrea her singing teacher.
They called themselves a family. Well, if they think their students are “family” why do they kick an 8 year old boy out of their academy just because his parents were concerned about his safety? Yes, it happened to us. After being in this academy for 3 years, we went to a performance in Disney Springs. According to the staff, the kids had to be taken from a McDonalds to the changing room in only 2 cars. They put 4 + kids on the back seat of a sedan (not sure why they did not take my offer of using our minivan and/or rent one), most of these kids legally need a booster and could not even use the seat belt. Once we brought this up to the owners in the McDonalds parking lot, they got upset and asked us to leave and said our son should not be playing on the performance. Again, this is in Orlando and we invested time and money to get there. At the end, we allowed them to take the kids like that, so our kid could play on his concert as he was expecting. We tried to follow the car to make sure the kids were safe but lost them on the road. Performance went well, but after we got home couple of days after, we received a call from the owner saying that they are a family and they are not problematic people and did not want to see my son in their academy again. The only thing my son kept asking us was: “What did I do wrong?”. We explained to him that he did not do ANYTHING wrong, but after that he quit playing the drums. We offered him to take him to other academies, but he just does not want to play drums anymore after the experience. So, should they be calling themselves a family when they kick the kids out their academy just because their parents are concern about their safety?
Would I recommend this place? ABSOLUTELY NO!
Horrible customer service. I had a bad experience and don’t recommend it to anyone. First, teachers change often, and classes are very short, which makes it confusing for kids to follow, and the whole learning experience becomes very minimal, with no quality learning time. I wanted to cancel my plan 3 weeks before the end of the month. I called on the phone, saying that I would have a busy work schedule and could not bring my son to classes anymore and wanted to cancel my plan. The front desk employee said she would send me the cancellation form, but never did. I couldn’t be there for many classes, and when I went there last time, they said you should have cancelled that before the 19th of the month. I talked to them many times, with no result. They basically want to charge money for nothing. It’s all unethical; if people want to cancel, just let them cancel the plan.
Caveat Emptor: The only thing “international” about them is their staff. On that note, the music teachers are all great with kids and very kind (which is not at all true of the admin staff or owners.) However, if a business is going to hold itself out as an international academy (of… well… anything) it should be just that. This place is nothing of the sort. They don’t compete with other schools, programs, or (ahem, actual) academies, not locally and certainly not abroad. At best, they have garage-band-style recitals on a makeshift stage next to the coffee machine. All bashing aside, the teachers save the day, in that it’s actually not a bad place for giving your kid a sneak peek into the world of music, but forget about anything more than that… despite the grossly misleading name on the door.
13. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 22100 FL-7, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
Its ok sometimes the shelves are all messed up and this place on weekend like Saturday and Sunday is so packed like a zoo. I wish the shopping carts could be cleaner because there are a lot of papers and garbages all over the place.
Nice
Feels a little crowded. Not much space to move around… but usually I find what I need.
Rude customer service
My mom taught me. If you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all. Get the picture?
I have a video of your manager Patricia, accusing a Customer of stealing, and instead of apologizing for their mistake, they canceled the customers transaction out of spite…then her friend Wonda another manager apparently would not let me pay for the items I rang up either… I was shopping for about an hour and a half, myself and 3 small children, had 2 full shopping carts, and your managers are playing games bc I proved her wrong….Check you cameras, I feel like this was RACIALLY Motivated by Manager Patricia
Worst experience ever… this is poor management and customer service!
14. McDonald’s
Address: 23073 Sandalfoot Plaza Dr, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
The food was great the drinks were great in the music was great! Couldn’t ask for anything more
it was clean, the service was efficient and the food delicious
Regular Macdonald’s service. Nothing bad, nothing exceptional. I did appreciate their swiftness to fill our order. Good
McDonald’s
I dont understand why they put exactly what I asked to be removed from my sandwich
What are horrible McDonald’s nine out of 10 times during the week I ordered Iced Tea unsweetened exactly how I say it I get a high c orange drink but that’s the way it is sometimes it’s hitting mats
I’ve come here multiple times where the line is fairly short but takes significantly long for someone to take your order and then another long period of time to finally pay and pull up and actually get the food. Like close to 25 minutes, I’ve seen people just drive off without continuing from frustration
Very bad service!! I go here 1-2 day they always get something wrong with the order the service sucks and the employees have atittudes!!!
15. Autism Thrift Store
Address: 23269 FL-7, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
I absolutely adore this place I could get lost for hours.
I love this thrift store. They have tons of name brand items
Always have nice furniture and great stuff!
Very organized place and good price to
Just an average thrift store at best. Small store as well as small selection. And the prices are relatively high. Never has those colored-tag sales like all the other thrift stores have. However, it’s my go-to thrift store because it’s the only one in my area.
Customer service in this thrift store Boca location is negative & needs to be addressed. Rudeness is what’s experience when visiting, especially one lady that’s always at register.
To add insult to injury, The prices are ridiculously expensive, even more so than buying brand new at a store. I don’t understand why, since all this stuff was given free to them, I’ve donated tons of stuff myself. Wondering how the funds are allocated??
To top it off I was interested in buying a large ticket item over $300, I asked how do I know it works, the lady basically said we can’t help you with that. What?!?! Are you serious? And I can’t even return item if it doesn’t work! At least at other thrift stores they help you, you can verify if item works & allow credit.
Senior leadership or corporate needs to look into this Boca location! I was going there b/c the autism community is close to my heart, I wish a more positive environment was representing!!!
Good stuff. They could use a full time manager to handle the staff
Rude staff. Ignore you.
16. Hobby Lobby
Address: 21759 FL-7, Boca Raton, FL 33428 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
Just about anything you need you can find there. That’s why they’re called Hobby Lobby
Good
Always awesome
Variedades
Hobby Lobby is a Big Store with a lot to offer but, I feel that they are over priced on numerous items, especially when you compare the exact same items with Stores like Michael’s and Walmart. Both of which are much cheaper on the exact same items. Another downfall is that there is never any staff around to help you or answer questions. They also refuse to Price-match with their competitors and, refuse to honor competitors coupons, which you think they would especially if they want your business. Even though they are a bigger store then Michael’s and, have a bigger selection on certain things, I’d rather go to Michaels or Walmart to save money and receive better Customer Assistance.
The selections are limited and dated. Plus they are closed on Sundays. Michael’s is better.
Staff is depressed and literally told me that management is a blight among the workplace.
Racists
I would Never Shop in this Bigoted corporations stores!!!
17. The Guitar Exchange Incorporated
Address: 7688 Wiles Rd, Coral Springs, FL 33067 , Sandalfoot Cove , Florida , United States
Awesome guitar shop! They recently fixed my 60’s Gibson acoustic that has had a broken headstock for more than 10 years. They did a great job and the prices are more than reasonable. Gary is very knowledgeable and down to earth. You instantly feel like you’re talking to a friend. He offers his advice regardless if you’re buying something or not. Plus he’s got a great selection of guitars, I’m personally eyeballing the Les Paul Standard and PRS. Seriously consider checking this place out, even if just to talk shop
This place is great! I went to the store for a diagnosis and repair of my guitar. Luckily it was an easy fix and the repair was done same-day. Gary was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. You can tell he enjoys what he does and knows what he’s doing. Definitely my go to for any future repairs and/or purchases.
I’ve been bringing my guitars in to get set up by Gary Kramer for years. He’s my go to guy! The Guitar Exchange is worth the half hour drive for me. They rock!
could use more extended range guitars
I bought a cheap USED guitar from Gary a while back, just to learn. When the time came to upgrade he would not take it as a part of payment nor in consignment, I was stuck with it. He must have taken it from someone else to sell but he would not take it back from me, not nice. The guitar was in the same condition as when I bought it.
He does not give prices over the phone. Fine, I buy online. I don’t have time to waste to see if I can get a competitive price by going out of my way to the store. The few times I have gone to the store I get MSRP.
I gave three stars because he is not all that bad, just not good enough for me.
