I will be posting some pictures from the Ritz over the next day or two on this page. Here is a video of my room.
Built as a St. Regis in 2009, it was quickly renovated to be a Ritz, and it is absolutely a beautiful property. From the moment you step foot in the lobby, you feel welcomed, comfortable and relaxed. Check in took less than 2 minutes, the staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. They will offer you fruit and water and explain how to find your room. I chose to use a bellman, which made going up to the room much easier and relaxing.
The room was large and spacious (not cluttered) with a well placed TV and a beautiful view of the pool and Fort Lauderdale beach. The bed was pillowtop and comfortable. The pillows were not my favorite, however, I always have issues with pillows. I have no doubt you will be extremely comfortable and relaxed in your room. The TV in your room allows you to connect to Netflix and Pandora, if you'd like to kick back with a movie or music of your choice.
In the morning, coffee and water will be set by the elevators, complimentary to guests, a nice touch.
Burlock Coast, the restaurant on site had great food, service and atmosphere. The bar was fun and enjoyable. I had breakfast here each morning and had dinner once. All of my meals were the proper size, temp and tasted great. The service is next level, everyone is cheerful and happy to help with a smile.
The pool bar and pool area is spacious and never crowded like other hotels. Even on Saturday, there were plenty of chairs and space to hang at the pool and enjoy the property.
I highly recommend the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale for any type of trip. Want to do a week in Fort Lauderdale? This is the place to stay. Want to do a couple nights pre cruise, the Ritz will help you start your trip with comfort style. Even a staycation, the Ritz will be amazing. The spa and gym will get your day started.
Let me know how I can help get you booked at the Ritz!
