A magnificent hotel; fabulous service, fabulous rooms, beautiful setting. Great facilities; water sports, beach, infinity pool, spa, fitness facilities, tennis courts.

The hotel is off the beaten track on an island filled with hilly terrain and windy roads. Leaving the site to their than the little town of Red Hook is less than easy. Enormously overpriced taxis ($90 to the airport) encourage one to stay put. The prices, especially in the restaurants ( a bit overpriced on an overpriced island) seem to reflect the. Fact that there are not a lot of obvious alternatives.

In spite of this, perhaps the best hotel we Haves ever experienced. Take the Lady Linsey dinner sail to nearby St. John.

Let me start off by saying, I was a bit apprehensive when my husband told me he booked the Ritz. He started pulling nice clothes from his closet to pack, and all I thought was.....I do not want to be at an uptight snooty place with our young children!! Boy, was I wrong! This place was the nicest resort we have ever stayed at, and we travel quite a bit and have higher standards as far as accommodations go. When we arrived we were greeted with tropical drinks, they gave the kids "virgin" ones and he carried a bottle of rum to pour shots into ours! That was perfect considering our long flight with crabby kids! We were debating between an ocean view room and garden view, so they drove us to each room so we could see it. Take note;;; the ocean view room was no more spectacular than the garden view. I suggest you save the extra $ and just go with garden. In fact our balcony was even larger. (we were on the lower level).

We didn't leave the resort much as we grew accustom to the impeccable service from the staff! My 5 year old got water in his ear, so my husband asked someone if they sold anything to help with it. Rather than just telling him where to get it, they told him they would go get it and bring it to us. If that was enough, she had also got him ear plugs as well. Now, that to me, is going above and beyond! Every employee made an effort to really get to know us! Asked us about ourselves and remembered all our names And what we liked to drink and eat. Even as passing by they would greet us by our names. They made up our chairs by the pool ( incredible infinity pool!!) brought us fresh towels when they could see our were wet.

We did not use the kids program. When we travel its most always with our children. We go on vacation with them to BE with them and enjoy it. During the day is the fun time, the kids are so exhausted come nightitme, going to dinner becomes more of a chore. The kids program only runs until, 4pm. Which is a bit disappointing, as it would have been nice to have dinner with my husband while the kids could unwind at the kids program. I do feel as though they are lacking on that end.

The food in the Restaurant left something to be desired, but did the trick. I don't believe it matched up to rest of the resort. Sails, which is an out door restaurant, was great! We had lunch poolside everyday there.

We booked a cruise in the hotels signature catamaran, the Lady Lynsay....which is a little pricey for all four of us, but believe me.....you get your money's worth for sure! The hotels amazing service is also demonstrated on the boat! The kids loved it and we all had a blast! They brought out a whole spread on yummy snacks and the bar was open! I think that was our favorite part of the trip!

The hotel offers some water sports that are included (no charge) we took paddle boats outs, used snorkeling gear and the hobie sailboat....that was amazing!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this resort. We've been home for two days, and I am having a hard time adjusting to reality! Lol! This has set the bar extremely high for future travel.....but it's my husbands fault...not mine!! Lol!

Wonderful, gorgeous hotel, with fantastic service. The people who work here are so nice, and it really seems to come from the heart. We had a blissful week here. Our room overlooked the Carribean, our bed was so comfortable. The drinks were amazing. My only criticism would be that I would've liked to hear some indigenous music, instead of really corny reggae Xmas songs, and the food in the main restaurant could be better, but all one the most restful vacations we've ever had. We were lucky to arrive the week before Xmas, and just as we were leaving, it became very crowded and I would advise going there one to 2 weks before Xmas, or after New Years. Also, I've heard it's less windy in late January, the wind was alittle annoying. But all in all a great place.

Chef & Manager (William & Michael) are the living proof that Ritz stands for unsurpassed customer service.

We are vegan and attended the new years eve celebration in this casual, ocean front restaurant. The menu was a fixed buffet that at first looked somewhat vegan friendly.

When we arrived, we learned that most buffet items that could have been vegan were cooked with animal products. So there was almost nothing for us to eat expect a humble salad.

We spoke with Manager. He wasted no time to have the Chef come over to talk to us. The Chef, in a very professional manner, asked questions to learned about our dietary needs.

With almost no guidance from us, he proceeded to prepare a custom-plate for us. Not only was the thought amazing but the quality, flavors and creativity of the dishes were amazing!

Michael and William made our New Years Celebration a night to remember. Make sure that during your stay you stop by this casual restaurant and enjoy the genuine, great service & amazing food.
