Tranquil stay
The Ritz-Carlton is an elegant property, offering a beautiful setting and all the amenities one expects from a luxury hotel.
The rooms are nearly soundproof and the beds comfortable, allowing for a restful night's sleep...so important when traveling!
The staff are professional and pleasant without exception.
The food is good, the bar atmospheric, and my favorite feature is the Moet & Chandon vending machine (for guests only).
The only issue during the stay was the slow/glitchy Wi-fi service, but that problem was solved by using my personal hotspot.

Smelly room
Our room, sheets, & towels all smelled like fabreeze. It gave us a headache. We could not sleep there the second night. We left early because the room smelled so terrible.
Property was clean and comfortable. The hotel has great amenities.

Absolutely Amazing
I cannot rave enough on how amazing this unit was at The Ritz Carlton. The beds were super comfy. I will definitely book again. Next time I hope I don’t need to leave the resort as they have everything you need. Owner was great to work with.

Key Biscayne
My wife and I had an exceptional stay at the Ritz Carlton. The beach and pool were outstanding, providing us with a perfect retreat. The staff was incredibly nice, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. Communication with the host was excellent, ensuring all our needs were met seamlessly. The room was clean and exactly as described, ensuring a comfortable experience. Accessible parking made our arrival hassle-free. And we couldn't agree more about the outstanding quality of Ritz amenities, especially the food and beverages, which truly exceeded our expectations. Overall, a delightful experience that we would highly recommend.

Great location
The beach access was fantastic, good food on property, parking was easy, and kitchenette was fine. Manager was responsive and quickly addressed our one concern. Bathroom doors are louvred, so you don’t have privacy as with a solid door. Overall, I’d love to live there!
