Reviews
Last year the cappuccino wasn't tasty...hasn't changed, still doesn't taste good 😀 but there are plenty of other alternatives.
Nevertheless, it is a very good hotel where the staff should be mentioned that they do everything to satisfy the hotel guests.
The property itself is stunning, with a ambiance that’s both elegant and welcoming. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully appointed—everything you could want in a luxury hotel setting. What truly made our stay special, however, were the thoughtful touches provided by housekeeping. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, addressing our needs promptly and anticipate them before they arose.
One of the standout features of our stay was how well The Ritz-Carlton catered to families—specifically for our young daughter. From the moment we checked in, we were impressed with the array of toys and activities available for children, which kept her entertained and happy throughout our visit. The kids playroom was excellent. We spent almost 1hrs playing there. It’s clear that the hotel prioritizes making family stays as enjoyable and seamless as possible, and we deeply appreciated their efforts.
Our time at The Ritz-Carlton was a combination of luxury, comfort, and attentive service that made it feel like a true home away from home. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
Breakfast was also very good. Everything is clean and tidy. Had mentioned that it was more like a honeymoon trip but this I think went under…
However, the exceptional service truly made up for this minor preference. The staff was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, I loved my experience at the Ritz Carlton and would highly recommend it for its stellar service, even if the decor wasn’t exactly my style. It’s really busy in this area so it’s not that quiet. You can hear traffic and a lot of stuff going on, we were on the ninth floor, and it was still pretty loud
What I didn’t like was that the outdoor pool is too small, and the location isn’t great if you like walking around outside. But overall, it’s a beautiful hotel with excellent service and comfort.
