Maybe my expectations should have been lower

For what I paid a night I was disappointed to be placed in a basement level musty room. I came in too late to do anything about it the first night but then asked to be moved. Second room nicer. Food and overall prices were very very high and I felt like the quality of the food was cheap (yet expensive)

Too crowded to stay at Ritz on July 4th weekend

too many people, not enough chairs poolside, had to wait a long time to a table at restaurant, long lines at quick coffee bar area and highly recommend going a different weekend next time

Staff is wonderful, highly service oriented -- loved it!

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, the view
What a beautiful hotel! The views are breathtaking! The staff was amazing, very accommodating, and highly service oriented. The flowers that greet you in the lobby were innovative arrangements, beautiful to view, and lovely to smell. Our room was so clean, and all of the essentials were there. The bathroom was highly functional for 2 -- separate room with toilet, and double sink so that 2 can get ready at the same time. I loved our balcony, and used it every day to read a book, or enjoy the view. The restaurants were fabulous -- they have thought of everything. The outdoor restaurant was my favorite. If you forget your sunglasses while the sun is setting, they have extras. If it is chilly once the sun goes down, they have blankets. There is just one change that I would request in our room, perhaps others. The air conditioner was probably the noisiest that I've ever heard -- each time it "kicked on" it would wake us all through the night. There must be quieter technology available, and something to consider if there was ever a renovation. I can't wait to go back there!!!

I wish there were more than five starts, this hotel would get 20. They treat their hotel guest like queens and kings, catering to all their needs.

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
This hotel caters to their guest needs, whatever they can do to make your stay fantastic, they will do it. No matter what time it is, they will accomodate! Their rooms are clean, their bed and pillows are comfortable. When they turn down your bed at night, you feel more like home.

We greatly enjoyed our long weekend stay - perfect getaway spot for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful coastal view and nightly sunsets.

I had been looking for a hotel in which we could stay for a long weekend. This was one of 2 hotels recommended by a family member, and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our favorite spot was the outdoor patio/bar which we enjoyed the beautiful weather and views.

Amazing stay...

I went with two girlfriends and the hotel was all we could ask for and more. Our room had an amazing ocean view with huge fluffy beds and a large flat screen tv. Both pools were very nice as well as the jacuzzis. The restaurant was good but pretty pricey. I would stay here again!
