We could not have been more pleased with our experience (five days) at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota. Our room, overlooking Sarasota Bay was quite generous in size; the bathroom was lovely, always spotless and well-stocked. The staff, from beginning to end was pleasant & accomodating, and never stuffy. The Beach Club was gorgeous - you could not ask for a... more

My Mom and I enjoyed a weekend at the Sarasota Ritz in adjoining rooms on the club floor. We were impressed as usual with the Ritz staff and service. From the person who greets you at your car to everyone you encounter on your path to the front desk and then to your room, everyone is just looking for a... more

Stayed at the Ritz for weekend get away. The check in process was quick and efficient and they brought us champagne when they couldn't accomodate our room upgrade request. Very thoughtful. Overall the hotel grounds were nice, we walked around them and thought it was ok., nice, but not spectacular. Annoyances: The shuttle to/from the Beach Club - seriously, it... more

The Ritz Carlton Sarasota was incredible from start to finish. The hotel is only about 15 minutes from the Sarasota airport and the valets were incredibly friendly and helpful. My husband and I each had a glass of champagne while checking in and we were happy to find that our room was ready despite it being close to 2 hours... more

We stayed with our toddler the week of July 4th. The staff is incredibly friendly and check in was fast. Our room was not ready as we arrived early so they took our cell phone number and called us when the room was ready. We were booked in a city view suite but they upgraded us to a bay view.... more

This Hotel was very clean and the smell of the Bulgari soap in the bathroom was a delight as you walked into your room. The rooms were a bit smaller than I would have expected for a 5* hotel, however the bathroom was a good size. I enjoyed the room tea and coffee making facilities which were replenished twice a... more

Having seen a few reviews on the Ritz Carlton prior to our stay, we were very openminded to what we were going to expect. We left Miami after staying at the Delano hotel (very dissapointing stay) and headed over to Sarasota in our hirecar. We pulled into the drive of the RC and were absolutely impressed with the first impressions.... more

We went to the RC for a weekend away. Although the property is very nice as you drive up to the hotel (the palms lining each side are fantastic). The overall interior of the property is in need of a face lift. Positive Comments: 1. Check in was very smooth with friendly associates and bellman. 2. The Spa associates were... more

Having read several negative comments regarding The Ritz Carlton I approached my stay with a little trepidation. However, with the exception of one point, The Ritz exceeded my expectations and I would have no hesitation in recommending it. That one exception was, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, a room on the 2nd floor overlooking a roof. I refused to... more

My wife and I were married last November 10, 2007 at the Ritz Carlton beach club in Sarasota, Florida. I read several of the reviews prior to choosing this destination and I was rather nervous. I'd have to say that when things first started off we too had a very bad experience. The Rep that we were given was too... more
