Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although with a stunning ocean view, needed some updating and were not noise-proof, serviced a bit late at 4pm. The service was outstanding with a hospitable team, but a few instances of unprofessionalism were noted. The location was perfect, steps from the beach and close to all South Beach attractions. The dining was fantastic but seemed a bit pricey. Overall, a stay with good and not-so-good aspects.
The hotel has an excellent location, close to the beach and many restaurants. The rooms need some redecoration and maintenance, making the check-in experience not very pleasant. However, there are refreshing samples of iced drinks by the concierge, adding a nice touch to the service. Be aware of additional charges for resort fees and taxes.
The hotel's location by the beach is outstanding, and there are great shopping options nearby. The service exceeded my expectations with attentive staff. However, the pricing may not fully reflect the value, and there were unexpected extra costs.
The hotel has a great location with a lovely beach and proximity to South Beach attractions. The rooms show signs of aging and may have issues with ants, and service can be improved in some areas. The dining experience was a mix of great food and awkward situations with tipping. However, the facilities offer a pleasant stay overall.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The location was amazing right on the beach, but there were some issues with the room that need to be addressed. The service was top-notch with attentive staff, yet the dining experience fell slightly short despite some great options. Overall, a mixed but memorable experience.
The hotel rooms were suitable for families with kids and had a decent standard, although not quite meeting the lavish expectations often associated with the Ritz brand. The location was excellent with a beautiful beach area nearby and easy access to all the attractions in South Beach. However, there were some hidden costs not initially disclosed, impacting the perceived value of the stay. The dining experience had some shortcomings, like reservation mix-ups and added tips, but the overall atmosphere was included and enjoyable.
