    The vacation was one of the best that i have had over the last 20 years!

    The communication between the promises made and the execution of these promises from the team on the ground was terrible. They did something I really hated. They all blamed each other for the miscommunication. In the end, the concierge manager, Reena, saved the day and made things right.

    The entire resort was a "10," as I expected it to be since it's the Ritz Carlton! I asked for an upgrade, and they happily upgraded me for almost double my initial reservation. I found the business side of the vacation frustrating and a little shady. I was promised select upgrades for being on the concierge floor, which I only got because I complained bitterly. I was asked if I wanted the same seating every day, but on multiple occasions, my seating was given away to someone else. I was told I had select seating at the pool, and the seating was the worst seat on the beach. Lastly, I was told my resort fees were not going to be charged to me since I paid for this big upgrade, but I was charged about $101 additional each day. I had to get management involved to compromise and split the difference between them.

    I didn’t like how people came down early to the beach and claimed lounge chairs…for hours. There is supposed to be a 2 hour limit, but chairs around us were vacant until noon (towels plopped at 7:30am). Not very classy.

    Hotel is beautiful, great fitness room/gym, incredible beach and location. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

    Great hotel on a beautiful island. Would definitely come back and stay there again.

    The hotel is far up on Palm Beach away from the nightlife and action, which is a positive for some and maybe a negative for others. They do have taxis ready right out front to take you places which helps.

    The room was very spacious, as well as the entire hotel layout. The service was incredible and food at the hotel was very good, including even lunches at the Madero Pool Grill. We took advantage of the snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, kayaks and floats that were all offered free for guests.

    Nice place but the service needs work
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    I found that the service both at the beach and from the housekeeping staff was under par. Everyone was polite and friendly however the wait staff at the beach would disappear for long blocks of time, forget your order or never come back with your order. Would forget towels when setting up chairs in the morning. Housekeeping missed one day, and provided inconsistent turndown service. It's Not that it was bad its just not Ritz Carlton level service. Food is grossly overpriced in both restaurants.

    The facilites were clean, not crowded,and provided a wonderful beach.

    they put us in a side room despite all my reward points where we could see the day boat excursion workers were urinating in the bushes at the end of the day before driving home. we escalated and they moved us to the center ocean view corner room across the hall immediately but the AC wasn't as strong as the first room and really should have upgraded us for our trouble.

    Loved service, food, beach, property, casino. all lovely. we had our own car and the front of the hotel receiving staff were AMAZING with valeting and pulling up our car!! The whole concierge staff and front desk crew also amazing. As were the resutaurant personnel, the poolside cabana attendants, and the boutique staff and the coffee shop folks. All lovely and top notch.

    The rooms were very nice but a little below the Ritz standard. more like a nice Marriott. The Cabana service was nice but we thought the loungers needed to be much more luxurious for the price.

    The property was very clean and great view from our room. Staff were outstanding. Food was very good

    The service was extraordinary; the staff always greets you with a hello and a smile - and always asks if there's anything else they could do. The smaller number of rooms (as compared to the other hotels) made it easier to relax and enjoy the pool and beach.

    no complaints at all. Only suggestion would be the addition of a complimentary coffee service in lobby…… especially when you have an island power loss.

    just beautiful. Short walk to pools and beachfront. plenty of shade available to retreat from the sun. enjoyed our Cabana and service was exceptional.
