Best Ritz Carlton in Florida?
 
We are taking a trip to Florida the week of Thanksgiving. Any thoughts on the best Ritz Carlton in Florida for that time of year? We are looking specifically at Amelia Island, Naples (Beach), and Key Biscayne. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi raleighite:
If included in your plans are nightlife I suggest Key Biscayne, (by nightlife I mean the area in general, not the hotel) if total relaxation is what you want Naples. Can not comment on Amelia Island.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Colombiana - I am pregnant so we are not going to be out partying late although good restaurants don't hurt. We definitely want a nice beach and a good spa. Thanks so much for your reply.

Weather could be tricky in Amelia Island at Thanksgiving and not beach weather.

I'd go for the Ritz-Carlton Biscayne Bay.

Last I new the Ritz Carlton Naples was still the highest rated in Florida by most sources, but it all depends on what you want.

You can expect MUCH cooler temperatures at Amelia Island in November than in Key Biscayne or Naples if that makes a difference.

I loved the Ritz in Naples. It has everything -- spa, beach, beautiful pool and an easy shuttle to their other property with the golf course. Naples is also a cute town with good restaurants and shopping.

Hi raleighite:
Congratulations! I too would go to Naples.

For your preference as described- Naples, hands down.
