Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach Review

A huge double-sided marble fireplace dominates the elegant lobby of this hotel (which is actually in Manalapan) and foreshadows the luxury of the guest rooms, which have richly upholstered furnishings and marble tubs. Most rooms have ocean views and all have balconies. A $130 million transformation of this classic hotel into a sublime "barefoot elegance" destination resort reflects the spirit of a traveler who has collected art, furnishings, and attitude from around the world. The expansion added a 3,000-square-foot oceanfront terrace, a second pool, fitness center, and a grand spa. Coconut palms shade the pools and courtyard—all of which are served by attendants—including a tanning butler—who can fulfill whims from iced drinks and sunscreen to cool face towels.

    A bit of a disappointment - my boyfriend and I knew it was off the beaten track but had no idea that there would be no shuttle service or public transportation available to get around. That still would have been ok because what we really wanted to do was just unwind and rent bikes and be low key but then the bike rental place no longer delivered (this happened between the night we arrived and the next morning) and the Ritz didn't even try and address the issue. Only one restaurant was open and it really was only so-so. The wine list left something to be desired. And while the staff was very nice and meant well I wouldn't put them up there with the professional category that I usually experience at Ritz hotels (or their key competitors)

    On the plus side the spa is spectacular - really probably one of the nicest I've been too.

    But that didn't make up for the downfalls. Oh well live and learn and least we got out of the NE cold and had a little sun for a few days.

    PS I totally agree that the shower is small and water pressure pitiful.
