Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel felt like being in a luxury condo rather than a regular hotel room, with all the expected Ritz-Carlton amenities. The rooms were well laid out and furnished, providing a comfortable experience.
The hotel offered excellent room amenities with extra pillows and blankets already provided, but the WiFi charges were quite high. The location was a perfect mix of proximity to Miami yet peaceful, although it lacked outdoor attractions. The dining experience was rated good, with outstanding service at the onsite restaurant, though the dinner was average. The overall service was marred by staff engaging in personal conversations while neglecting new customers, but their friendliness was appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed with a modern beachy look, stocked with extra pillows and blankets ahead of time. The service was top-notch, with incredibly welcoming staff making everything smooth and quick. The location was just perfect, offering a peaceful setting close to Miami. The dining options were outstanding, especially the seafood choices.
