Could've been much better!!

The onsite contruction absolutely ruined everything for us. The frustration of being rerouted, the loud sounds, the smell of gasoline fuled machines - it was very bad!! This was our second vacation to Orlando, Florida in as many years, both at the Ritz. Not again!!

Beautiful grounds, elegant comfort, superior hotel

Superior quality, with attention to detail and guest comforts prevail at this resort. Stunning penthouse view, suberb accommodations & service. Excellent food prepared to exacting specification was most appreciated at H&H for special dietary request above and beyond their down home, boldly Southern inspired cuisine. Our Red Velvet dessert choice was more than satisfyingly indulgent. The Spa featured Vitale's restaurant, which provided a crisp, flavourful, creation of green and juliened vegetables with a generous side of chopped chicken accented with a sweet chili glaze to add as you wished. Freshly prepared juices cleansed the body and soul. Fresh berries and fruit along with an extra Coca-Cola beverage were cheerfully provided for our plane trip home. Don't forget to have dinner at the gourmet club Norman's, where a bold menu awaits beyond the artfully crafted gates, along with an extensive choice of fine wines & service extraordinare. Complementary shipping was provided for our purchases at the Signature and Spa gift shops brimming with lovely gifts & tokens for all. Swift and prompt Concierge services ensured on time and quality Mears TownCar services to the airport and our 2016 Invictus Games destinations. Michael Sureda

I travel quite often & personally I think..

Pros: Nice Pool & Grounds
Cons: Communication!!!
Location: Nice Quite Location
I personally think this hotel is was a dissapointment & did not live up to the "Ritz-Carlton" Image that I had anticipated. Although the staff was pleasant in demeanor I felt they were not responsive to simple requests. I was my friends birthday & I had called ahead in advance to make them aware of this days before even taking flight. Even my reminder upon check-in & a second reminder when I visited the front desk still went unresponsive. It took 3 attempts for me just to get a mere cookie plate. Not what I had hoped.

The Best!!

I have stayed at many hotels and this is by far the BEST. Everyone at the hotel is great. Took my 7 year old to Disney & wanted a hotel to relax after, the Ritz surpassed my expectations. They also have ritz kids which my son loved! The pool is beautiful and very relaxing. I wish I could of stayed longer. Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful hotel, incredible staff, and great food!

Pros: There wasn't anything I disliked about this hotel, but the Highball and Harvest restaurant was definitely a major high point.
Location: It's Orlando, you can do anything. BUT, it was nice that we didn't have to leave the hotel to have a wonderful weekend!
Went for a long weekend for our anniversary. Treated like royalty from the minute we walked in the door. Champagne on check in, upgraded our room, and all around great service. Had lunch at Highball & Harvest. Their on-site farm to table restaurant. It was so good we ate there 3 more times. Absolutely no reason to leave the property! The bartender at H & H had a very thoughtful anniversary gift sent to our room......a plate of homemade chocalates with Happy Anniversary written on the chocolate tray, gift pillowcases with special messages, and other nice trinkets. It didn't hurt that the weather was beautiful. Throw in a couples massage at the Ritz spa and it was the perfect weekend!

Short drive from all things Disney.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
Hotel staff make the off-Disney property well worth it. Beautiful views and close enough to all theme parks and downtown Orlando.

Excellent place to stay

An excellent place to stay. The staff was very friendly, the room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable and pillows as well. I saw some reviews and there were complaints about the valet, I did not have to pay for valet. The food is expensive but worth the money. Someone said on a review that there is a McDonalds across the street to save you money, don't book this hotel if you are trying to save money, find something that suits your budget. Excellent experience, definetely recommended, I would go again.
