Smoke free premises. 266 units, some two bedrooms. 9 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
Pros: Service was as expected for a Ritz! Great bar!

Pros: The hotel was beautiful but the amazing customer service is what made the experience. This is some of the best service I have received at a hotel from everyone to the attendants on the beach, the drivers, the door men, the bell men, the attendants in the gift shop, the concierge, the attendants at the front desk- all top of the line. We loved it and will definitely return!

Pros: It is so clean there and I love how friendly the staff is.
Cons: I was told my room would be upgraded, it seemed more like being down graded. I was in room 225, and the key didn't work, handle broke on closet door, but no big deal.

Cons: Enjoyed the stay and will stay again. the valet attendants were great, and the hotel was gracious to help make our 45th wedding anniversary very special. Couldn't add pictures because my phone went swimming and could not swim so we lost all our photos:(

Cons: The basement level was how we got to the pool from our fifth floor room. Entire Hotel was superb...but this lower level when we exited the elevators till we got outside was like a different hotel...cold, uninviting, sterile and even a bit scary when I walked thru alone.

Pros: Staff was outstanding!
Cons: Not the Ritz' fault, but I came across the hotel on my iPad Maps app... I was looking for a nice hotel on Lido Key or Siesta Key and the app (mistakenly) depicts the Ritz Beach Club as a hotel. I should have been a little more careful to realize that the hotel is on the mainland, Sarasota Bay.

Casie Hancock - Lead Hostess UNBELIEVEABLE lovely, and Tabatha; so nice. I wish I had space and could write about everyone but I will just have to say that EVERYONE at The Ritz Carlton Sarasota was so professional and wonderful. Alejandra at the Pool with the best pool guy, forgot his name was fabulous. So attentive. One day I just wanted to stay in the room it was so comfortable. (504) I had a wonderful time playing in their game room near the pool.Playing PING PONG was great with my friends. I have been in many lovely Hotels around the world but this Hotel was the BEST.
Cons: I LOVED everything. Only thing I didn't live was that I had to LEAVE.
