Alternatively, plot up in a poolside cabana on the elevated deck looking over the Atlantic with it’s dedicated bar and food service at hand to meet your needs. With an expansive fitness centre overlooking the Intracoastal waterway and a spa that offers it’s own happy hour you can ensure your mind and body are well looked after.

“Impeccable Service Meets Seaside Elegance”

Sep 05, 2025Maria C

Our stay at the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale was exceptional, with outstanding service provided from the moment we arrived. Allan politely assisted us with our luggage and escorted us to our luxurious suite, which was meticulously clean. Jellyssa demonstrated a high level of professionalism and accomodation throughout our stay. A delightful surprise awaited us in our suite - a bottle of champagne, cake and birthday card, which made my birthday celebration truly special. The Burlock Restaurant offered an exquisite dining experience, with Ascash providing us thorough explantaion of the menu. The culinary team, including the chef and kitchen staff excelled in preparing our meals from appetizers, main course & desserts, including a complimentary birthday cake with candle. The Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale clearly values its loyal Bonvoy customers. We higky recommend their exceptional service and look forward to returning. The coastal view meets impeccable service. Thank you for creating unforgettable experience.

“Disappointing”

Aug 30, 2025bjornhorn

We booked the weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and while we’ve stayed at this Ritz-Carlton many times before, this was our worst experience. We were told we’d been upgraded as an American Express Platinum member, but it was actually the same room we booked —and the least comfortable one we’ve had here. The shower was completely open, with no door, which was uncomfortably cold. When I asked about switching, I was told, “We don’t have showers with full glass doors,” which is not true, based on both past stays and the hotel’s own website. It felt very misleading. The highlights were the thoughtful cake and prosecco for the birthday, plus a wonderful meal at Burlock Coast—Lou was a fantastic server, and the food was excellent. Sadly, despite those moments, the overall stay fell far below the standard we’ve come to expect from this hotel.

“Don’t book here unless you want to fight over incorrect reservations and billing!”

As soon as I checked in, I was told that they gave me a free upgraded room. The better room was a partial ocean view. What confused me was I was already in a king full ocean view. They didn’t believe me so I had to pull out my reservation to show them that I had, indeed, booked a full ocean-view king. The bathroom in the room as nice, the room itself was outdated and the small balcony for my “full” ocean view had peeling paint and only a view to the east and south. The north was totally blocked by part of the hotel…so it wasn’t a full ocean view as described! Then we wanted to go to the beach. When we tried to go via the road overpass from the pool deck, we found out that the overpass was not available. No sign was posted to inform anyone except an out-of-order sign in front of the elevator. To seal the deal, when I arrived to my cruise ship and reviewed my final bill, I found that I was charged THREE times for parking! WHAT?!? I flew in! However, my brother did charge his parking to my room…but for one car (because that’s all he can drive at one time)! The person who answered the phone kept asking me if I was sure I didn’t park three cars there for the evening!! Breakfast at the restaurant was super-expensive for eggs and bacon! Save your money and walk the 3 blocks north to Starbucks and grab a breakfast sandwich for $5! All-in-all, a very disappointing stay! I booked here because the Ritz was one of my bucket-list hotels. It is now permanently crossed off that list as I will never consider staying at another one! Do yourself a favor; fly into Miami, stay at the InterContinental and Uber to Port Everglades! Much nicer hotel and you’ll even save money!
