Which Ritz-Carlton
We just returned from an 8 day trip to the Ritz-Carlton in St. Thomas and had a wonderful time.. we loved the resort, absolutely fantastic. However, we had very noisy neighbors above us, so I called & complained to the room executive. Surprisingly, we ended up receiving 3 complimentary nights (plus American breakfast for two each morning) at pretty much any Ritz-Carlton in the world, with the exception of Chicago, London and Paris (which are not directly owned by the Ritz-Carlton, LLC).
While I was considering going to either NYC or back to St. Thomas to redeem these certificates, I was wondering if perhaps any of you could recommend another Ritz-Carlton that you were truly impressed with. I'm hoping to stay in the continental U.S. or the Carribean, although I'm open to all suggestions. We will either travel in January or June, have yet to decide.
Thanks in advance!

The RC in San Juan might be a good place for January. The location is the best of both worlds -- on a nice beach, but also in a cosmopolitan urban locale, walking distance to great entertainment options (and cabbing distance to fabulous Old San Juan).
The hotel itself doesn't stand out among RC properties -- it's certainly very attractive, with good-sized and well-decorated rooms, and reasonably attentive staff -- but it isn't above-average. What makes it special is the locale.
P.S. It's close to the airport, so you will notice the jets when you're at the beach. We didn't notice the noise in our room.

I love the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel (down in lovely Dana Point, CA), and the R-C Huntington (in Pasadena) is an absolute treasure.
Third the R-C Naples. And I think the R-C in South Beach might be a lot of fun for a few nights.

Thanks so much for all of the responses! I was also leaning towards the one in Laguna, it sounds quite nice; although that's something I would hope to expect from all Ritz's.
Any other suggestions, details, would be much appreciated.
