The VIP vibe at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota comes from indulgences like its bay-side location, its palm-dappled pool, and its celeb-worthy dining venues. Overlooking Sarasota Bay, you can watch the water as you laze by the chic outdoor pool and whirlpool, and as you tuck into coastal cuisine, cocktails, and craft beers at Jack Dusty. Venture across the John Ringling Causeway to Lido Key, where you'll find the hotels beach club, in the form of a tiki bar, alongside seaside-styled Ridley’s Porch restaurant, right on the soft sands (you may even get to enjoy it from your private balcony, as some have marina views). The luminary luxuries continue back at the hotel with opulent spa treatments - in a newly renovated spa might we add - and access to the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.

This is one of my favorite Ritz Carlton’s in Florida! Service is always spectacular from when you first pull up and greeted with outstanding service from the valet attendants and bellman to the speedy, adequate and friendly check in. The rooms are always on point, beautiful and clean. I would like to recognize the astounding customer service that we received at the beach club from Dave at valet, Carlos, the pool attendant setting you up right , Leah and Kira, keeping your drinks full with a smile and Mike out there in the heat with his drill gun setting you up the perfect spot by the beach. Just exceptional customer service! Also can’t forget about Jorge at Jack Dusty’s who was so very kind to us on our anniversary breakfast! We appreciate you all! We will be back for our third year in a row next year, for anniversary again because of all the amazing people who assisted us! Thank you!

After hurricane Milton I was displaced from my home here in Florida needed a hotel to stay in. My concern was which hotel was not affected by the storm. There was only one. This one, supposedly. I was Completely mislead upon booking as to the operational functions of the hotel after the storm. I was told everything is in working order except the elevators. That was a complete lie as the pools were down, the hallways had dehumidifiers because of the musty smell, the dining area had no lighting, there was no Wi-Fi or cable, the food was terrible, the staircase to get to the rooms were a nightmare and overall the exorbitant price I paid was the same as if it all functioned. Bait and switch. Shame on you Ritz Carlton. Shame on you.

Worst

This property of ritz Carlton is a shame to the company. They damaged our car during valet services. Afterwards instead of taking care of our damage they just ignored all communications from our end.
Pathetic customer service. This was the worst experience I had .
