Nice new property in a beautiful location. The service was a little less than usual for a RC.

I booked a room with ocean view balcony ( which I paid extra for) but was given a different a different room with a view of the building next to the hotel and that they don’t have “ocean view rooms” when their website literally says that and that is what I booked and when I told the front desk they gave “another room”. Car parking is $55 per day for those who want to rent a car. I wouldn’t go back because the price you pay for isn’t worth what you get. I normally don’t like to give bad reviews but we didn’t enjoy it even though we paid $2600+ for a day and two night stay.

Restaurant and beach facility is phenomenal, albeit a little difficult to find. Service was OK overall and gym equipment needs to be cleaned much more often (also not sure why kept so warm). Overall amazing facility though so would be back!

Hotel triggered fraud protection on my Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Instead of contacting me they just locked me out of my prepaid room. I felt like a criminal. Their beach is useless and covered with seaweed. They are happy to charge $300 for a day bed but cant be bothered to rake the seaweed and trash out of the beach sand like real luxury hotels do. Also they had the audacity to add a "gratuity" charge of 74$ to my minibar. Its like paying a tip to a vending machine. I think im going to avoid all marriot properties from now on. They are all acting in a consistently anti customer way.

For the price point, every staff member should be going above and beyond. Some did: Daniel at the beach, the young lady at check in, the bellman at check in. But many acted as if we were bothering them if we had a request or a question. Again, for price point, service should be above and beyond, and many times it was avg or below avg. Beach service was very slow and infrequent, “starts” at 11:30 (too late) and in reality never had a server before 12ish, then took 30-45 min to get food. Restaurants were both 7/10. Nothing to write home about. For the money spent, we won’t be returning. We’ve stayed at comparable properties within a mile or so, with 10/10 restaurants and 10/10 service.

Poor service. Room had to be changed, still had problems. Need to get the basics right. Property needs an update. Staff need to be more reactive to issues. There are so many hotel options in the area, go elsewhere.

Upgrade was supposed to be in reservation notes (per Ritz area executive) but were not and refused upgrade even though property was EMPTY. Then at check in told we would be given instead an "oceanview" room but received exactly the same room that we already had booked. A shell game. Hotel and beach bars are ridiculously small for such a large property. Pay a huge "Resort Fee" but they still nickel and dime guests on other fees.

This hotel was established as an after-thought converting one of many Residence towers into a hotel. Poor Bar. Awful breakfast buffet. In general, I was surprised to find a Ritz-Carlton that doesn't deliver real value.

Ritz are simply not what they used to be. I keep trying and constant dissatisfaction. House keeping justbwalks in...then came right into my "locked" bathroom. Did not speak English, no apolgy. Garbage cans around property overflowing. Front desk ,bell men and in room dining excellent(except the food that did come did not match what was on the menu)
