Fort Lauderdale, Gold Coast Beaches

5 stars

Florida's first AAA Five Diamond hotel – need we say any more?! The Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale is glamorous yet unpretentious with it’s nautical design, comfy seating areas and relaxed ambience. Only the highway separates the hotel from the beachfront, but with a pedestrian bridge you’ll have your toes in the sand in minutes. 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. When it’s time to explore further afield, mainland Los Olas Boulevard is the place to go, just a short water taxi ride away, for which you’ll receive daily complimentary tickets from the hotel.

“Ft laud ritz hotel pool and pool attendants”

Nov 06, 2025Anonymous A

The pool area is stunning, with luxurious amenities and beautiful surroundings that overlooks the ocean. It has a dining restaurant and a bar, hot tubs and there is also beach access however during our visit it wasn't working. The service is great, and we were offered pool amenities multiple times, including frozen grapes and smoothies, as well as gelato ice cream, which added a luxury vibe to the experience. I would like to mention the excellent service provided by the pool staff, including Keddar our server, Scott and Richard at the bar and Ruben, the pool attendant.

“Outstanding Service From Start to Finish”

Oct 27, 2025Donna A

My sister and I just got back from a quick trip to the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale and we had a great stay. The hotel is beautiful, the location is convenient, and the service really stood out. Every employee we met was wonderful, but these two deserve a special mention. Our first interaction was with Maurell at the front desk, and she set the tone right away. She was very friendly and welcoming . We arrived early and tried to check in a few times but the room wasn't ready until the original check-in time of 4 PM. so it made for a long wait. When we went back up to the desk and were told the room was finally ready, she came out of the office to personally take care of us. She knew we had been waiting a long time and surprised us with an upgrade to a beautiful room with an amazing view of the pool and the ocean. Rodney by the pool also deserves a shout-out. He checked on us every day always with a smile, and made sure we were taken care of. He really did make us feel like VIPs. We really enjoyed our time at this beautiful hotel and we will definitely be back.

“Exotic Animal show at the Pool”

Oct 21, 2025Catherine H

The standout experience of our stay was undoubtedly the exotic animal show at the pool. It was both entertaining and fascinating to observe the animals up close and gain insights into their behaviors. Our pool server, JC, took exceptional care of us for two consecutive days, going above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. Thank you also to Ruben for consistently providing us with his warm and welcoming service, always ensuring we were seated in a pleasant spot. We are already looking forward to our next visit and plan to extend our stay a little longer next time.
