try harder
We had a very nice stay. Great view, clean room. The mattresses need to be flipped so they aren't leaning to one side. We arrived at 5 PM. The first night we had trouble with the QR code to order room service and the front desk was helpful. Food the first night was pretty bad, hard tough cold chicken sandwich. My husband's burger was tough, over spiced and hard. The fries were rubbery. We hardly ate any of it. They forgot the ice we ordered. Ice machine was broken or we would have used it. Bad start. Next time we had room service they forgot to bring my husbands dinner. Mine was cold. Seemed no matter what we ordered it arrived wrong/missing something and cold or just icky, except the wine. The delivery people were nice as was were the house keeping ladies. Over all the place was clean. We had a great dinner at Blue Water, the Pad Thai was the best I have ever had...but sadly couldn't get in again on Wednesday and Thursday. Alloro breakfast was very good. The smoked salmon was the best I have ever had. They served the smallest eggs I have ever seen, but good. Wondered why there was sooooo much garlic in the guacamole..not my favorite. The coffee place was excellent, super nice helpers. Sail had nice food, servers and drinks. Except the lettuce/veggie wrap gave me diarrhea all night. Coconut Grove has a super bar and excellent bar tender, Charlesworth is amazing. Give that man a raise!!!! The gift shop was low on all sizes of women's tops. Nice sales person.

Put in a handicapped room and we ARE NOT handicapped. Spa did not recognize our reservation and staff was very rude and demeaning, talk to the hand with attitude. Rained for 3 days and no umbrellas in our room. Shuttle service did not want to take us to our room upon check in until I offered to drive. Could not reach Aloro to order a pizza to pick up since mail box full, when called concierge would not contact restaurant instead told up to keep calling Aloro directly. Concierge would not shuttle us to Caribbean Fish market next door. The facility is a RINO Ritz in name only. Will never return. Sad since surroundings are beautiful. On to St Croix and St Bartz.

I paid ~1,500 per night for a room at the Ritz - a supposedly 5 star hotel. This is a 3 star hotel. The staff was friendly but the hotel itself is worn down and dirty. 5 star amenities are no where near this place. The food was of 3 star quality. Nothing about this place is 5 star. I’ve stayed in lux hotels all over the world this has been the worst. Based on this I wouldn’t stay at another Ritz…this hotel should lose its flag, be closed and revamped. If not don’t advertise as 5 star it’s 3 star at most. Again dirty, poor food, amenities are terrible, staff is nice but that it, they are slow u knowledgeable and not a lux experience. I never wrote reviews this is my first but need to share so other don’t waste their money. If I had paid 300/night I wouldn’t be upset, but 1,500 was a waste…..The Ritz corporate needs to visit this place….
