Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room, decorated with personalized touches to celebrate a special occasion, was lovely. The service was top-notch, although there was a minor issue with housekeeping. The beachfront location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The dining options were limited due to low occupancy, but the hotel had great fruit options. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel offers a unique room experience with a partial view of a noisy highway but beautifully decorated with personal wedding memorabilia. The service exceeded expectations with enthusiastic staff. The location is perfect for a tranquil beach getaway, away from the bustling South Beach, but with some seaweed issues. The dining experience is excellent, featuring fresh fruit and pizza delights. The facilities are top-notch, enhancing the overall stay.
This hotel offers magnificent rooms with a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and a very relaxing free-standing tub in the master bath. The exclusivity and privacy are highlighted with two balconies. However, the view is not facing the ocean directly, and the second bedrooms face north towards the channel rather than the beach and ocean.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delightful and disappointing experiences. The room was beautifully decorated with elements from a wedding, creating a romantic ambiance, but the view of the noisy highway took away from the serenity. The service provided by Joseph was outstanding, adding a personal touch to our stay. The location was convenient, with unique cabanas offering entertainment options, yet surrounded by a noisy environment. Unfortunately, dining options were limited due to low occupancy, but the overall service and amenities at this Ritz Carlton made the stay memorable.
The room, though offering partial ocean views, was partially obstructed by a noisy highway, lacking a true peaceful retreat feel. The service was warm and accommodating, with efforts to cater to individual needs. The location was great for those seeking beach tranquility, marred slightly by nearby disturbances. The dining options were varied but seemed overpriced, with cancellations due to low occupancy. Overall, a mixed experience with positives and negatives to consider.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic, with clean and comfy rooms and super friendly staff. The location is perfect near the beach and restaurants, but the dining experience could be improved. The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable, and while the price was reasonable, the extra charge for Wi-Fi was a downside.
