The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale

We have been coming to Fort Lauderdale every year for my birthday for quite some time. We have stayed at many of the other beach resorts, but decided to stay at the Ritz Carlton this year and it surpassed every expectation. We had the most beautiful corner room, with breahtaking ocean views. The housekeeping was impeccable, always keept the room looking pristine, complete with no shortage of fresh towels, clean bedding and turndown service. The food at Burclock Coast and the pool bar was all delicious. The pool was so relaxing and clean, and we enjoyed being able to take the bridge to the beach whenever we wanted. What made the trip so special, however, was the customer service and connection made with the staff. Rueben at the front desk, the elite concierge, and especially Scott at the pool made our trip worth every penny. We already can't wait to come back next year and years to come to see Scott again! Thank you for the best time!

We had a terrific few days at the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. We were greeted by one of the best front doormen ever, Walter. Walter was over the top in how he greeted and made sure anything we needed was sorted out. We stayed on the Club floor. We arrived late and both Joey and DRay went that extra mile to make sure we got everything we needed. They were both personable and helpful and made our experience on the club floor wonderful during our trip. The food was great and the club facility was well worth the cost. We enjoyed staying at this hotel and would definitely consider going back mostly because of the amazing service.

From start to finish, my experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale was nothing short of outstanding. The staff truly exemplifies world-class hospitality. They accommodated my request to move from a pool-level room to a higher floor seamlessly, making my stay even more enjoyable. The highlight of my visit was the Club Lounge—it is, without question, the best I’ve ever experienced. The team there is phenomenal: attentive, warm, and genuinely committed to creating a memorable experience. The food offerings are exceptional, with a variety and quality that feel more like fine dining than a typical lounge. If you’re looking for luxury, personalized service, and an unforgettable stay, this property is a must. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

At the end of the day, hotel rooms can blend together. It’s a Ritz so you expect it to be nice and this one is average at best. If you gave choice between here and Four Seasons definitely pick Fiyr Seasons. We only stayed one night but everything was underwhelming. I upgraded to the Club Lounge and an absolute waste of $300. The breakfast was on par with the free breakfast at a Fairfield Inn. The same goes for every aspect of the lounge experience. So sad as this was my absolute favorite place to go and now it is not even on par with most average hotels.

I liked the atmosphere here. I felt relaxed and welcomed from the moment I arrived. Had a hiccup on check in but the front desk supervisor, Alton came to my rescue and handled the situation. He was heaven sent. Let’s not forget Monty, the bellman who welcomed me and got me into my beautiful room. Poolside I must give Ruben and Veronica a high five for their hospitality and impeccable service. I observed them with other hotel guest and seemingly they were both on point. The biggest five star goes to a position at the hotel generally that you wouldn’t think that be hands on with a guest visit. Well, it’s a different situation with the general manager, Jose Torres. He responded to a random email that I sent him that confirmed this was the location that I wanted to spend three nights. The staff took really good care of everything. It was refreshing. Staying here was like a dream thanks to the concierge staff. The quiet and peaceful feel gave me the best sleep in months. A beautiful place to relax and have lots of fun.
