The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

I'm a Marriott Ambassador and do not typically write a review. My wife and I are staying at another Marriott resort in Palm Desert area and wanted to go to a nice spa for massages. We heard the Ritz Carlton was very nice and we both had later afternoon 80 minute massages. We came a couple hours early and enjoyed the hot tubs, steam room and sauna. We get a lot of massages and my wife said this is the best massage she's ever had and mine was one of the best I've had. We also decided to book dinner at the Edge restaurant after our massages and it was an incredible steak dinner and all the staff were amazing and great food and service! We will be back!

This hotel is truly nice. The staff is incredibly friendly and the rooms are clean, and very nice. The food here has been great so far, not to mention the drinks from the bar are great as well.

Classic Ritz Carlton property in a location that is close to many attractions, but tucked up in the hills for maximum atmosphere. The staff were some of the kindest, most helpful people that we have encountered in our travels. The hotel was quiet and our bedding luxurious. We had a balcony that overlooked the adult pool. Although there was an adult pool, we chose the "main" pool for our sunbathing as the vibe was just more fun and lively. Both restaurants on the property were excellent.

We spent 4 nights at the Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage. We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are spectacular. Service in every aspect is top notch and just what you would expect from Ritz Carlton. Our room was very comfortable and immaculately clean. Linens and bedding were luxurious and very comfortable. We had club lounge access and found the service at all times to be attentive and food/snack offerings across all day parts plentiful and excellent. The fitness center was modern, very clean, and well equipped. We would definitely recommend Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage and we look forward to a return visit.

An excellent hotel in a lovely location and we hope to go back in the future. Food for all meals was extremely good. There are some local rambling walks which we enjoyed prior to breakfast each day before the temperatures became excessive. Disappointed I was only offered Valet parking which came a high cost, I couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed to park the car myself like we do in the UK. Note: the gym was a pathetic attempt at one as it was in a temporary location due to refurbishment works, not sure when the new gym will be in action. Swimming pool was open until 10pm and we went in with the kids late in the afternoon / early evening each day and it was lovely. Note: This hotel whilst excellent it does charge these American Mandatory "Junk" Fees on checkout which needs to be banned. In our experience the better quality hotels like the four seasons don't charge these fees. However, as we had two interconnecting rooms they only charged one set of Mandatory "Junk" Fees instead of two sets of fees and this was appreciated.
