“Beautiful Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Spent a few days last week at the Ritz Carlton Palm Beach for a business meeting. Views were beautiful from my ocean front room and service was impeccable. I don’t like the featherbed mattress toppers at this properly, they were very hot and the marginally efficient AC could not keep up with my comfort preference for a cool room. The resort had a run in with Hurricane Sandy two weeks before but other than a small (really nonexistent) beach at high tide and a temporary stairway to replace the washed away one to the beach, all is well. I heard the pool was filled with sand, but there are no traces of that any longer. Their meeting space is not quite up to Ritz standards in the area of decor, but they served the purpose. Banquet food was very good, we had a large group sit-down lunch (80 people) of braised short ribs, it was excellent. This is a great property for a getaway with your family.

“Surprise! It's not in palm beach!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Just stayed here for a business meeting. Was looking forward to time on worth avenue and the while palm beach atmosphere.
Drove to palm beach late at night and then started looking for it, and couldn't find it.
Guess what. It is in Lantana Florida .. Waaaaaay south . Almost to boynton beach.
Beautiful hotel and spa but,,,, There is really nothing nearby this place.
Just sayin'.

Room Tip: Rooms with balconies with ocean view.. Even if they are not100% ocean view.. Are awesome.

“A bit of a let down!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

My family and I were very excited to stay at the West Palm Beach Ritz Carlton. Upon arrival, it was as expected... beautiful property and helpful staff. We were not able to spend much time that night at the hotel because we had other plans, but when we did arrive back at our room that night, we were confronted with the ever so annoying whine of the elevator as we attempted to sleep. It wasn't the people coming off on our floor, but every time it was moving floor to floor it whined so loud that it kept me up most of the night! Absolutely miserable! It is what it is though... I had intentions of enjoying the pool and beach area with my family the next day, so I was looking forward to it. Arriving at the pool about 1030am, it was packed with people from a local law firm, each with their own water bottles (not filled with water, mind you), at the kids pool (kids are not allowed at the quiet pool). The attendants rushed to help them set up their chairs, but completely ignored us taking our own towels from their booths to find chairs. Everyone was smoking cigarettes one after another, completely ignorant of everyone else that might be TRYING to use the pool, including kids! There were plenty of chairs not being used, but apparently everyone had put towels on nearly EVERY chair so they could save them for later in the day. We approached a pool attendant to ask about the smoking since it was bothering the kids, and they said that they allow it, and that we would have to move. Where else would you have liked me to move? They had taken over the ENTIRE pool area. We attempted to relax for about an hour, asking for menus and such because we were hungry. After about an hour of not one attempt to help us, we decided it wasn't worth it, so we packed up and left for home by 12:30. I will probably not return to this property.

Room Tip: Specifically, request a room AWAY from the elevator. We stayed at this hotel for 1 night, and our r...

“Outstanding service and amenities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

You would have to really look to find a negative about this hotel. The rooms were in excellent condition, as was the lobby area. Service is excellent, attentive without being cloying. We were there after a hurricane so they were scrambling to fix the steps going down to the beach that had been destroyed. An attendant was there building steps by hand so people could get down.
Check in was easy as was check out. We wanted to use the mini bar as a frig and there was not a blink about that. Rooms have a safe, a large bathroom and the beds were comfortbable.
The only unhappy surprise was that there was a fee for parking $28 per day which we did not expect. That really increased the cost of staying at that hotel. The bridge closest to the hotel was closed for construction and we should have been told that when we made our resrevation. Without a car though, you are stuck. There is a small shopping center across the street but nowhere close to pick up a few groceries. I would say this is an adult location and too formal for kids.

Room Tip: Rooms with balcony are the best.

“Perfect Weekend in PB”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

My husband and I sat in the sun, enjoyed delicious meals at BLT, walked around Palm Beach - came home relaxed and refreshed. We enjoyed the adults only pool area. Would highly recommend for a short weekend getaway, especially if you are looking for a quieter, slower pace than Miami. Amazing RC breakfast and omelet station. Upscale town nearby, quick cab ride away from the Breakers. Enjoyed the ice cream store across the street as well. Service is impeccable, we were approached by a manager while we were at the pool and asked how we were enjoying our stay - we told her that we were celebrating our engagement...an hour later she had prepared a special gift for us...its the small things that really make a difference - ENJOY.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
After a $130 million transformation, The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach embraces barefoot elegance, as an inviting oceanfront resort nestled on seven waterfront acres. The Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond hotel is recognized for personalized service, exquisite accommodations and as the destination of choice for those looking for memory making experiences. The oceanfront Terrace and Stir Bar have created a magnet to the firepit - glowing at night, it's the gathering spot to enjoy sushi, dazzling desserts, and creative cocktails. While visiting the resort, guests can enjoy several distinctive dining options. Temple Orange is open for all three meals and is a refreshingly modern choice for seasonal cuisine - sit indoors or dine al fresco; Angle is a contemporary, American supper club featuring locally-grown ingredients and harvested South Florida specialties, line-caught fish, Creekstone Farms all natural, prime beef, craft beers and award winning wine wall. Breeze, the only oceanfront burger bar in the Palm Beaches features gourmet burgers, seaside salads, light bites and tropical drinks. Oceanfront Cabana dining is a sublime dining experience beachside for couples or families. Discover Eau Spa, a glamorous 42,000 square foot retreat that allows guests to engage in magical spa experiences with a variety of sensational beauty treatments and surprising touches throughout. The Self-Centered Garden invites you to lose yourself within the open-air sanctuary--relax on swing chairs while trailing your feet in a pool of shallow water. Twelve of the 19 Spa Villas offer a private escape in the peacefulness of natural surroundings with lavish garden enclaves. Ritz Kids programs are known around the world, but here the Under-the-Sea themed "AquaNuts" sets the tone for the younger set. The teens program called Coast embraces a "state of mind" - meaning nothing too organized. All suites at the resort face directly at the ocean from every square foot - including the oversized soaking tubs - nice view! This resort features private balconies for all guest rooms. Lanai Terrace Rooms and Suites offer "private cabana cachet" with the guestroom experience with quick access to pools and beach. The Ritz-Carlton Club Level is exclusively accessible - a lounge features five culinary presentations. Watersports lovers can expect to find all their favorite activities and tennis fans have their choice of three tennis courts with a pro on-site. ... more   less
