“You have to stay at the Ritz at least once in your life!”
You really feal like royalty when you are staying at the Ritz. They do everything with very high standards. We had an awsome time! Very beautiful and very clean...the food was amazing and the customer service was very quite friendly and accommodating.
“Best service I've ever experienced.”
Fantastic hotel. Outstanding service. Great beach club. Again, outstanding service from top to bottom.
“Best service I have ever had!”
This Ritz- Carlton experience blew my mind. My husband and I received welcome glasses of champagne ad bottled water upon our 3pm check in. We bought the cheapest room possible, not expecting that every guest room has a private balcony and a view. We were also thrilled when we learned that we also had access to the Ritz' private beach club in Lido key which is just 5 minutes away. So not only did we get to enjoy our hotel with views of the marina, we also got to enjoy another Ritz resort right on the beach! When we arrived we were set up by the pool with towels, a pitcher of water, and were offered to take our picture. Then we swam in the ocean where a group of dolphins swam 25 feet from us. Amazing time and will be back!
“Would love to return!”
We loved the hotel and the private beach club was perfect for us. It's location was close to all that we wanted to do. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking!
“Excellent Brunch”
One great value
“Great Property”
We stayed at this hotel for 8 days and were very happy with the accomdations. The rooms are nothing too special, but the staff and service were great. The beach club is FANTASTIC!! I would highly recommend this hotel to others. I was pleasantly surprised that the hotel was very family friendly. When we return to Sarasota we will only stay at this hotel.
“Can't wait to go back, outstanding hotel!”
Love the hotel and Beach Club! Will be back, guaranteed!
“beautiful hotel with 5 star service”
The hotel is great, the beach club is amazing. All the staff was friendly and nothing was forgotten (everyone knew our names!)
“Perfect”
My boyfriend and I are in our late twenties so we are not the usual Ritz clientel, but they made every effort to insure we felt comfortable and welcome. The level of personal service was without comparison.
