It’s rare for me to think a $1k / night rate for a hotel is worth it but with this Ritz property, I felt like it was a bargain. Had the ocean view room, no balcony for the basic one but regardless was incredible. I am excited to go back and try a different room. The staff were helpful and present at all hours.

Don’t go!

Not worth the price! Nice location, but there are several nice hotels with as good a view for a quarter the price. Nothing special about this place. Over priced food and average service at restaurants was disappointing. Went for Anniversary, paid $1600 for the night, and not even a card in the room. Won’t go back! Do not recommend.
