There is a reason for the line "Puttin' on the Ritz"! On the surface very upscale/snooty but in reality not so much. The base construction of the hotel is...

It was the perfect place. The staff was amazing, catering to your every need and want. It is, thus far my favorite hotel.

We arrived late at night and were given room 711.When we woke up the next morning we noticed the carpets in the room were in terrible condition.(stained to say the least)We asked for a room change and were given a room at the 9th floor.The back light mirror was missing a screw and could not be adjusted and the maid left a dirty towel (small) on the bath faucet.Not up to Ritz Carlton Standards

 by  anonymous  on  2007-06-02

Very accommodating hotel with clean and spacious rooms. The only downside was the Breakfast offering since it was too expensive.

 by  anonymous  on  2007-05-02

I just stayed at the Ritz last weekend for my 1-year anniversary. What a great time! The room service, wait staff at several restaurants, room service and spa staff were all top notch! The constant tipping feels excessive after several days, but the service is so great its worth it. Take stacks of 5's and 10's to be prepared.

 by  anonymous  on  2007-02-02

This is a superlative place. The beach club is to die for. Come here when you want to be pampered. They have a slogan, which I cannot remember, but it speaks to allowing them to take you away from your everyday cares - they do this in spades! Will there be anything else, Mrs. XXXX? My pleasure.

 by  anonymous  on  2006-09-02

The hotel was very easy to find, in the heart of Sararsota, and they provided a regular coach to the Beach Club, which had great facilities right on the ocean. Food and service were excellent

 by  anonymous  on  2005-10-02

I stay at the Ritz every year in October for 1 week. It is a truly wonderful experience, and dont' forget to visit the beach club. Enjoy Life!!
