I really enjoyed the valet parking. They parked your car and returned your car quickly with no delays. They were very nice and friendly too. The wellness room was fully stocked with exercise equipment that were top notch in quality. I enjoyed my stay!

👍THE GOOD: Hotel golf course was great. View from room was terrific. Breakfast in room was very good with prompt delivery. Beach Club is excellent with very good, attentive staff. Easy to make dinner dining reservations at the Beach Club. Transportation every half hour to and from the hotel. 😒THE BAD: No concierge on duty. Had to talk to front desk staff that were busy checking in guests. Short on propane to fuel outside seating for dining. Some heaters could not be used in 60 degree weather. In peak months, no sun will shine on pool area (blocked by hotel building). Boutique shop on main floor closed for lunch in peak occupancy in February. Hotel under-staffed. Waitresses dress in jeans and most wearing tatooes. Sorry, not appealing the Ritz crowds. Had difficulty making reservations for dining in the main dining room. 👺THE UGLY: We had a foul odor coming from our bathroon drains. Called on the first day. Maintenance came, treated the drains, but odor continued on second day. We flushed the drains and by the third day the odor was just slightly noticeable. We left on the 4th day. All room doors close loudly at all hours of the night. They are good, heavy doors buu hard to close quietly. Sleep interrupted.

The only thing one should be aware the property is not waterfront as on the website picture. But, Khalid Khalil did an EXCELLENT JOB in sincerely caring and accommodating our needs. The Ritz should be happy to have him on their team. I am an owner of properties in the hospitality industry and appreciate how he handled a problem and turned it into a wonderful experience

I have stayed at many Ritz Carlton’s. However, I had never stayed at this one. When I arrived, the valet guy asked if we were sure we were staying at the Ritz?! We said “yes.” He eventually pulled over a luggage cart. My mother and I had to transfer our luggage all by ourselves. We get to the room and we were under-whelmed. It was very outdated. It really needs a renovation. The grout in the bathroom between the marble was dirty, the paint was chipping, and the bathroom door handle was falling off. We ordered room service. My filet was cooked perfectly, but it was so small. I think no more than 5 ounces. My mother got the fish tacos. The grouper was really over cooked and inedible. We had breakfast downstairs the next morning. I ordered the eggs Benedict. They use way too much cooking oil and butter. The asparagus was drowning in it. This was such a shock because the Ritz food is remarkable and this food was just average. Our room was on the seventh floor and at 7:30 am we were awoken by lawn maintenance lawn mowers and leaf blowers! It was awful. Why would you have your maintenance crews do that so early in the morning? Most people staying in a hotel of this caliber are on vacation and want to sleep in. I was there for business and did not have enough time to voice my concerns or complaints. I definitely do not recommend this Ritz Carlton and will never come back.
