This hotel, while beautiful is not on the beach or golf course. It is a drive to their beach and golf facility. If you want to unwind on the beach in Sarasota, it is not the ideal location. Our room was over $600.00 for one evening. It was a small room with a partial water view. We did however, have... More

Unfortunatly, we only stayed one night at this amazing property. I always look forward to the Ritz Carlton beds....I've missed many a tee time and breakfast due to their comfiness ;) Everyone, as usual is friendly, courteous and helpful. The concierge gave us a history of the Golf Course we were playing, which is about a 30 minute drive from... More

This is an ostentatious hotel that looks fancy but isn't worth the cost. Here's an example - like most expensive hotels, they charge you an arm and a leg for Internet access, while mid-level hotels offer it free. But worse - the download speed for the $12 expense was 1.02 mbps! Unbelievable that they could even find a router that... More

The only down side that I could possibly express about this hotel is the valet parking charges $24 a day is a bit much. Right that's the gripes out of the way. We arrived early, a little after noon, not expecting to be checked in, but we were straight away and we were upgraded to a suite, and what an... More

This place is truly a Ritz Carlton, Staff was amazing, the rooms spotless and every single employee made you feel welcome! The views from the rooms were amazing. Complimentary Shuttle to and from the beach....You can't beat that!

Although I stayed here on and off since it first opened we had always stayed on Longboat Key to be on the beach, but when the Colony went downhill we decided to look elsewhere for a regular place to stay and this is it. We have had both normal rooms and suites, always clean and spacious with all amenities. We... More

The hotel is located at a beautiful setting right on the bay. The sunset from their patio was just breathtaking. The room was really comfortable and decorated very nicely. We had a really nice stay there

I want to start by saying that this is a revised review as my first review of this hotel was extremely negative because I wrote it before I learned of the hotels' recent transformation and also before my wife and I spoke with the manager to explain some of the extremely disappointing things we had experienced during our stay. It's... More

It truly was a lovely stay at the Ritz-Carlton on our recent week-long visit. The hotel is elegant and quiet, rooms comfortable, bathrooms spacious and we found the maid service to be quite good. All the staff greated us warmly wherever we went. The hotel's pool in a marina setting is large, attractive and convenient, but the real gem is... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ritz! We were there for two nights for a wedding. It was a beautiful venue. The pool and the room were very nice. But what I really enjoyed was the restaurant! The breakfast (particularly the French Toast) was such a treat. You must order it and indulge. We ate it twice! YUM! My... More
