Wonderful customer service!

Manager Madison was incredibly kind and accommodating during our stay. We stayed one night and had a family issue and needed to change hotels for location. She went out of her way to help, she even called around and helped us with hotels. Instead of treating us like just another transaction, she truly saw us as people. Exceptional customer service…

The Hotel, staff, restaurants, service were all 5 star plus. Everyone we met was lovely and genuinely wanted to help to make our stay as perfect as possible
They went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary and made it one of the most special ones for us to remember
It is a beautiful resort with the beach and pools extremely well looked after and serviced well by the staff for food & drinks
We would definitely come back and we don’t often say that
There wasn’t anything at all to complain about
There are lots of places to visit nearby for both couples and families
Thank you especially to Leslie Fabiola who was amazing Guest Relations Co-Ordinator at Ritz Carlton who helped make our stay the very best

Wonderful hotel
Jul 26, 2025Lindsay C
Fabulous hotel. Upgraded our room, as a special occasion. Much quieter location and hotel than South Beach, so if want a quiet, elegant hotel. Must compliment the staff at this hotel, everyone from the beach and pool staff, to the arrivals desk were first class. Would definitely recommend!

If you are hear to rest and relax skip for the next 4 weeks. Renovation continues until mid/end…
