Pros +
- Everything was top notch, from the VIP parking of my GoldWing to the excellent staff and fantastic lounge, restaurant and room with an amazing view, absolutely my first choice when traveling.
- Beach club is great.
- Food and staff
Cons -
- Everything was just OK. Very disappointed. Expected much more. It was such an ordinary hotel, exactly like any standard Hilton or Marriott with a much higher price. Small room with no view.
- Terrible service. Computers down. Restaurant at the hotel bad service, overpriced, moldy fruit.
- Musty smell from carpets. Clogged drain in bathtub. Very expensive for a Ritz Carlton property lacking in quality rooms.

Food and staff
Musty smell from carpets. Clogged drain in bathtub. Very expensive for a Ritz Carlton property lacking in quality rooms.
Staff and service make this hotel a standout.
Beach was closed and it was not disclosed prior to check-in.for a newy renovated 5 star hotel, the bathroom waa a major disappointment, a shower/tub combo, better bathrooms in properties with 2 less stars and 1/3 pricepoint.
location, less crowded, private beach
grounds are not the same standards as before...in decline, staff is not of the same calibre as before. unfortunate
The pool and food were amazing and the staff was very accommodating and went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary.
Nothing comes to mind.
staff is awesome and lots of amenities. we used the shuttle to the beach, the pool, the restaurant, bikes, outdoor bar, paddle boards, even the notary! can walk into town easily.
It has a beautiful view from the balcony.
Our balcony was right beside a very large exhaust fan on a building rooftop below. It was so loud I couldn't enjoy sitting outside.
Great service, wonderful lobby aroma, welcoming, friendly staff. Room very comfortable. Bathroom as expected, spacious and elegant. Excellent staff at pool with attentive service. Despite the red tide, we had a wonderful time.
Staff all around was excellent - (waitress) in resturaunt was superb Pool staff was excellent- very cheerful and always there to attend to our needs
Everything was great. Can't wait to go back!!
Valet were amazing
The beach club is amazing!
first impression with pictures was the hotel and the beach club was in the same place, but beach club is about 10 minutes away.
the hotel has a lovely private beach club
The room that I stayed in has yellow stains on the tiles in the bathroom
service is impeccable
resort & valet fees were pricey and unexpected
