Never a disappointing stay at the Ritz!

Pros: Everything
Cons: Travelocity and the games they play on pricing with airfare.
Location: You are right where all the action happens and on the most perfect beach and then when you get back to the quiet elegance of the hotel its wonderful.
Aside from the typical games Travelocity (when it comes to pricing) and the other search sites play the Ritz carlton is amazing in overall service and location.

Best Ever Vacation

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Cons: price
If you want it all for a beach type vacation - this is it! Walking distance to everything, clean beach, staff is in the bend over backward status your entire stay, and rooms are what you want and then some. Workout facilities - makes you do over time, pool is heated, drinks at the bar are super, two hot tubs, beach is top notch, and great place for the kids too (activities for them at the pool). Once you try it - you will save all year long just to do it again!

This hotel was the perfect getaway!

The hotel was beautiful, sophisticated, clean, and although right in the middle of everything- quiet and restful. Within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the beach. The staff was courteous, helpful and well-trained. They made you feel welcome and cared for. This is a hotel we will visit again and have already recommended to family and friends.

The staff and food are excellent and it is well located.

Our problem: the spa was under renovationa and we were not told that when we booked facials and massages. When we were taken to "treatment rooms" we were taken to dimly lit guest rooms and layed on beds! In addition construction was going on all around us whiel in the "treatmetn room." Other than the spa which hopefuly is renovated,it is a nice, well located hotel.
