Something that is always incredible at the Ritz is the service provided by the staff at all levels. From the time you step in the hotel to the time the valet brings your car up and loads your car when you leave, the service and professionalism of the staff is superior. I would have given it an "excellent" review as... More

I visited this property for a conference last month.(Sorry about the delay in review) I have stayed at another Ritz further down the road (Naples) and I must say that I was not wowed by this experience like the one down the road. It is a smaller location, so I had to factor that in after the experience, but the... More

Stayed at the ritz for 5 nights and I have to say overall the service was ok but not 5 star by any means . The valet parking is terrible if you are in a hurry good luck we waited for up 10 minutes for our vehicle and then wait 5 or 10 minutes more for all the vehicles blocking... More

We found the drinks to be eyewateringly expensive but the food which was excellent not so much.Have to mention the staff who were without exception very pleasant and unfailingly... More

Great place to meet up with family and friends. Staff attitude and service, as well as the amenities, justified the cost. A bit of a hike (3+ miles) to the beach club but shuttle service is available and worth the trip. Same great service as in the main hotel.

As returning visitors to the RC in Sarasota we were delighted to be welcomed by name by the reception staff. I was allocated a room which was unfortunately next to a large air conditioning vent and therefore very noisy when on the balcony. I immediatly reported this problem to reception who responded by moving me to a new room without... More

We were greeted by a somewhat unfriendly Front Desk Agent who gave us a room overlooking the roof. It was my Birthday and I had mentioned this on the reservation so he could see that. You only have one every 365 days right? So I was disappointed initially. The room was smaller than at the Vinoy where we stayed the... More

As always, the Ritz-Carlton is an excellent choice for guests wanting that superlative service and smiles from the staff! Our room on the club level was immaculate and the staff in the club superbly friendly! I'm not sure who runs or manages these wonderful; people but they're doing a fine job up there! We actually made some friends with a... More

I was at the Ritz Carlton recently on business. Brought my spouse for some relax time. The hotel was beautiful and staff delightful and eager to please. However, I don't know if i would rush to stay at this hotel again. The meeting spaces were beautiful and staff was very helpful, but the beds were miserably hard even after an... More

This hotel is superb. The service is impeccable. Everyone is really happy and willing to help one have a great time. Their club on the beach is about a 10 minute van ride provided by the hotel and is right on the beach. There is also a pool, restaurant there, lockers and showers, and many facilities. The restaurant (just renovated)... More
