    Incredible stay at a welcoming property!

    I want to express my gratitude to the entire staff at this hotel for their exceptional service and hospitality. We were displaced from the hurricane and EVERYONE was incredible! The food was unbelievably delicious! Room service was fantastic. The rooms were very clean and housekeeping was great. The Bell Desk and valets were perfect! The stress of being forced from home was overwhelming and everyone here made us feel so very supported.

    Worst

    This property of ritz Carlton is a shame to the company. They damaged our car during valet services. Afterwards instead of taking care of our damage they just ignored all communications from our end. Pathetic customer service. This was the worst experience I had .

    Great family stay!

    We had a great stay here. Some of the reviews made me second guess our upcoming stay, but I am glad we moved forward. The hotel is great, the staff is even better. Is this the newest Ritz out there? No. However, it's the nicest spot in Sarasota. The dining is great and the beach club is the perfect day to spend the day. We were there off season in August, some of the schools had just started. On a few days there were only a handful of guests at the beach club pool area. It was great! We used our rental car to get to the beach club so we wouldn't need to wait for the shuttle. It's a short drive. Such a really nice relaxing stay! I will say, the new St. Regis will give this Ritz a run once it opens this fall. It looks amazing, so they will need to step up their game.

    Really nice hotel and beach club

    Saw some bad reviews that had me worried prior to my stay but fortunately my experience was great and I would definitely recommend. It is a very, very nice property with staff that are wonderful and extremely helpful. The room was very nice and very clean with a large balcony with a water view. The beach club was spectacular and was one of the nicest beach experiences I have ever had. Extremely large and beautiful pool with a large hot tub and a tiki bar and full restaurant. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the beach was private and really amazing. Get there early because it fills up quick and can get pretty crazy in the afternoon. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.
