I had an incredible experience at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. From start to finish, the service was exceptional—but I want to give a special shout-out to Caleb, Ricardo, and Carlos at the beach. We rented a daybed, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were so friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The highlight of the day was when they surprised me with a birthday cake to celebrate my 40th—such a thoughtful and memorable gesture! The Ritz truly lives up to its reputation for top-tier service, and the extra special touches made my day unforgettable. Highly recommend! Read less

We had Christopher, Ricardo and Oskens taking care of us on the beach during our stay, and these gentlemen are delightful.

We had Christopher, Ricardo and Oskens taking care of us on the beach during our stay, and these gentlemen are delightful. As a business owner, they’re the kind of guys you promote to management as culture setters for your team. They’re delightful, polite, respectful, and are on top of everything; they would be wasted in a low level position. I hope management sees this and recognizes them for the standout gents they are. The beach front was beautiful, right in front of the walkout sand bar, and I would absolutely come here again. Read less

My stay at the Ritz Hotel was absolutely amazing, and I have to give special thanks to Oskens and Caleb for taking such great care of me during my visit. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly valued as a guest. Their hospitality went above and beyond—whether it was making sure my day bed was perfect, checking in to see if I needed anything, or just greeting me with a warm smile, they made all the difference. The hotel itself is stunning, with luxurious rooms, beautiful beach views, and everything you could ask for in a relaxing getaway. But it was their service that made this experience unforgettable.

***this is not a review of the property as I did not stay there. This is a review of my experience with booking my reservation. let me preface by saying I don’t write negative reviews often. If I make a mistake, I will always own up to it as I believe in honesty and respect. I booked a two night reservation at the Ritz Carlton for December 2024. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to change my reservation dates twice and kindly enough reservations team changed it with no issues and it was a pleasant experience over the phone. My updated dates were officially booked for April 25 to April 27. On April 15 (10 days before my stay) I had called the hotel out of curiosity to ask that if I canceled my reservation, would I get my refund back? The response from the receptionist or reservations agent (not totally sure who I spoke to) responded. Yes, I will get my refund back because I am canceling well in advance. I did my due diligence there. I asked the question and then I proceeded to cancel the reservation. Mind you I would have stayed at the hotel and kept my reservation had I known I wasn’t getting my refund back, but because I was told I would get my refund back, I decided I’ll cancel it and book it for another time. 1 week after I cancel, no refund. I called and they said they will look into it. 2 weeks after I cancelled, I told my refund was denied because I changed my reservation dates twice. Please note, the market director of reservation sales , Mauricio, clearly stated in his email to me “The person that told you that a refund will be processed, did not have access to see the history as we do.” If that’s the case, then train your staff properly, or tell them to ask and confirm with those who DO have access to that information first before telling your guests the wrong thing! So because of WRONG information that I was told, and admitted to be told by the Director of Sales, I’m down $1693. I kindly asked for a credit if a refund wasn’t possible. And Marriott could not even honor that. The Ritz is known for their customer service and 5 star amenities. As a loyal Bonvoy member I’m very disappointed in this. I have a $5k stay at the Bal Harbour property that I will be cancelling because my loyalty is no longer with Marriott anymore. Not a good look for a 5 star hotel, multinational, billion dollar corporation. For the same price and better experience, I will be putting my money to better use at Four Seasons. For any future guest reading my review, thank you for your time. If you have any questions about my experience or want more information, feel free to email me at amir1040@gmail.com. Please don’t make the same mistake that I did and make sure you document everything. Make sure you get the name, the date, time of the person you talk to if you ever cancel or make changes to your reservation because clearly Ritz Carlton South Beach Miami does not honor what they tell their guests.
