We had an amazing experience at The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. Check-in was smooth with a lovely champagne welcome. Our Club Level room had a beautiful marina and pool view—slightly compact, but elegant and comfortable. Dining at Jack Dusty and Rufa was excellent (don’t miss the sliders!), and the poolside facilities like fishing kayaking and games were a hit with the whole family. The Club Lounge was the highlight—five gourmet food presentations daily, open bar, and outstanding staff who catered to my dietary needs with care and attention. We’ve stayed at many 5-star hotels, but this was one of the best lounge experiences we’ve had. Huge thanks to the Club Lounge team—you made our stay truly unforgettable!

Bad: Minor stuff that was easily addressed by a call to the front desk. In our room phones didn’t work via handsets and maid service plugged the bedside lamps into the non-switched outlet. Great: Everything else was excellent! The entire staff was superb. I Specifically want to single out the spa and beach… SPA: Excellent facility, fantastic amenities, kind helpful staff, my wife and I had an excellent couples massage; can’t say enough about the spa and staff. LIDO BEACH: The Beach Club is 3.3 miles from the hotel, but they have a bus that leaves every hour. It’s one of the best beaches I’ve visited in a long time. The staff was very attentive, food and drinks delivered to your lounge beachside; I could go on but you get the picture. In summation, if you can afford it, you’ll definitely come away relaxed and recharged.

Amazing hotel with wonderful views. Had a lovely family feel and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. It felt decadent but without the snobby mess you get at some hotels. We will definitely come back. The restaurant was pricey but the service and food were absolutely superb.
