I cannott think of any hotel that I have stayed in, anyplace in the world, where the management excluded resident guests from the bars of the hotel so that non-residents could benefit from them. Does this property not have separate facilities for catering for external patrons? Preventing access to one of the only two bars in the property is bad... More

Friendly and accommodating, even by Ritz Carlton standards, within 24 hours, the ebullient staff will make you feel as if the Ritz Sarasota is your own private club. In fact, it is impossible to stay anonymous here, with "How are you doing, sir?" being asked whenever you are within a 20 foot radius. At the foot of the Ringling causeway,... More

Resort is excellent. Great amenities and service. Nice areas to walk close by. Only negative is that the beach is a couple of miles away. Would go back in a heart beat. More

I made the dinner reservations online and added the comment that it was our 40th wedding anniversary. We were treated so special by the entire staff. We even were presented with a platter of desserts with 'Happy 40th' written in chocolate! We will be returning to dine. The food was great and the price was right. Wonderful experience. More

We can't say anything negative. They just put on the Ritz! We loved their golf course. Food, entertainment and service was excellent. The people who work there are outstanding and we didn't have any problem giving them a worth while tip. We stayed there three nights loved the room and the beds were so comfortable. The view from the hotel... More

Loved our stay here! Hotel is usual Ritz quality. Clean, beautiful, large bathroom, comfy beds. Location is good with most Sarasota attractions in short driving distance. They also have a shuttle to the private beach club and the St Armand shopping circle. The beach club is gorgeous! We had unexpected cold weather, and wished we could have spent the day... More
