Ritz Carlton, Sarasota, FL

Offering an alluring blend of cosmopolitan charm and coastal elegance, The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota is a destination unlike any other. The resort offers a superb vantage point to explore attractions, dining and museums, while its proximity to white-sand beaches and array of five-star amenities, including a luxury spa and an 18-hole championship golf course, allow guests to relax while experiencing the radiant natural beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Whether you’re exploring Sarasota’s colorful history, sinking your toes into a white sand beach or watching the sun dip below the Gulf of Mexico, The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota invites you to savor it all. Showcasing a serene private beach club, 18 holes of championship golf, a luxurious spa, vibrant waterfront dining and five-star accommodations, the resort is the perfect escape to experience the endless charms of Florida’s west coast.

Here is what you need to know about this Resort Hotel. First, the hotel is NOT located on the beach. That’s the bad news. The good news is, the hotel does own a private Beach Club on the Gulf of Mexico, less than 10 minutes away. The Hotel does provide continuous, free transportation to and from the Beach Club. That being said, both the Main Hotel and the Beach Club are exceptionally wonderful. Following with the theme of appealing to younger demographics they demolished the original, fabulous, formal dining room many years ago and replaced it with, “Jack Dusty” a much more casual, Florida type dining spot. This hotel absolutely, and totally lives up to the renowned Marriott high standards. Always, spotless from top to bottom, Super service and exceptionally friendly. Always “my pleasure”  as they say.  We frequent this hotel often. MFS
