Summary: First I want to start by saying., The Ritz at Sarasota FL has lost their quality.. The day of my arrival., I asked the car bell guy if he could please help us load our luggage onto the cart since we had a long trip & we were all so tired., He said OK gets the cart places by the vehicle takes the tip goes around the vehicle.. by than my son already had taken out the luggage’s out the vehicle and put it on the cart himself. So than he takes off.,? what happened to bell service? we check in I get a connecting room with my guest that i was checking in with.? We were not asked if that is something we wanted? that is normall something your asked at check in? I didn’t know until we got to our room.. Than once we settle in the room we realize the AC was not working well.. I tried expressing all of this to the manager & all she had to say was “ I’M SORRY “.. ?

Dr Sherly Jul 7, 2025 05:54:23 PM
Summary: The bathroom tub was not cleaned the shower head didn’t work I can’t understand why such a great resort had shower curtains instead shower doors. The room didn’t have a working fridge to store bottles water It was my 37th wedding anniversary we were very disappointed
DIEGO Jul 5, 2025 08:27:53 AM
Summary: Brilliant service! Unique place! They have an amazing and private beach club near the hotel (around 10 mins from there) and each guest has permission to access there.
Charles Jun 12, 2025 10:38:06 PM
Summary: Bad: Minor stuff that was easily addressed by a call to the front desk. In our room phones didn’t work via handsets and maid service plugged the bedside lamps into the non-switched outlet. Great: Everything else was excellent! The entire staff was superb. I Specifically want to single out the spa and beach… SPA: Excellent facility, fantastic amenities, kind helpful staff, my wife and I had an excellent couples massage; can’t say enough about the spa and staff. LIDO BEACH: The Beach Club is 3.3 miles from the hotel, but they have a bus that leaves every hour. It’s one of the best beaches I’ve visited in a long time. The staff was very attentive, food and drinks delivered to your lounge beachside; I could go on but you get the picture. In summation, if you can afford it, you’ll definitely come away relaxed and recharged.
Jolene Jun 11, 2025 11:44:19 PM
Summary: Amazing hotel with wonderful views. Had a lovely family feel and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. It felt decadent but without the snobby mess you get at some hotels. We will definitely come back. The restaurant was pricey but the service and food were absolutely superb.

Summary: We have been there a couple time and love it. Easy shuttle to the beach club.
Mehrdad May 4, 2025 08:41:22 PM
Summary: This hotel needs update. The carpets are old and dirty and never feels like a 5 star hotel.
