Fantastic stay from start to finish! Beautiful property and great location. We traveled for the Miami Open but also for a romantic weekend and we were not disappointed. The suite had amazing views, the room service was excellent and all the staff was helpful with what ever we needed. We did not even have time to take advantage of the spa or some of the restaurants but we really enjoyed riding the bikes along the ocean path. It was also a short drive to the Bal Harbour shops which were amazing. We would definitely stay here again! This oceanfront property is perfect for couples or families.

Not deserving if Ritz Carlton name ot brand. Third stag here and each was worse than before. Property is magnificent but it is an ownership, management and training problem.
Have stayed at Ritz Carltons all over the world and this is worst managed property.

Made us wait for room until 5 minutes before 4 pm check in. Said hotel was fully booked which was a lie. Website showed 6 room categories immediately available gor our entire stat.

Awakened at 7 am my maintenance workers talking outside our room.

Gangsta rap videos playing loudly at pool bar.

Just a poorly managed oroperty at every level.

Expect the answer to everything here to be “No!”- The bathtub in our room did not turn off or drain properly and maintenance joined us right before my 4 year old and 2 year olds bed time to fix it, housekeeping took hours to show up, I was reprimanded for taking “too many beach towels”- we had a party of 4, not 2. The beach shuts down at 4:30, along with the pool bar which is less than ideal. If you want to take a swim past 4:30, there won’t be a towel in site to dry off with. Late checkout? Dont even think about it. The staff at this hotel needs a lesson in hospitality- when my husband first brought some of our issues to the Manager who should get out of the office and get on the floor- the Manager told me husband he had only called about housekeeping coming 3 hours ago- laughable. No, I am so sorry, how can I make your stay better. We were offered a measly 30K Bonvoy points for our troubles. For the nightly price- stay as bar away as possible!

I booked a room with ocean view balcony ( which I paid extra for) but was given a different a different room with a view of the building next to the hotel and that they don’t have “ocean view rooms” when their website literally says that and that is what I booked and when I told the front desk they gave “another room”. Car parking is $55 per day for those who want to rent a car. I wouldn’t go back because the price you pay for isn’t worth what you get. I normally don’t like to give bad reviews but we didn’t enjoy it even though we paid $2600+ for a day and two night stay.

Hotel triggered fraud protection on my Chase Sapphire Preferred card. Instead of contacting me they just locked me out of my prepaid room. I felt like a criminal. Their beach is useless and covered with seaweed. They are happy to charge $300 for a day bed but cant be bothered to rake the seaweed and trash out of the beach sand like real luxury hotels do. Also they had the audacity to add a \"gratuity\" charge of 74$ to my minibar. Its like paying a tip to a vending machine. I think im going to avoid all marriot properties from now on. They are all acting in a consistently anti customer way.

For the price point, every staff member should be going above and beyond. Some did: Daniel at the beach, the young lady at check in, the bellman at check in. But many acted as if we were bothering them if we had a request or a question. Again, for price point, service should be above and beyond, and many times it was avg or below avg. Beach service was very slow and infrequent, “starts” at 11:30 (too late) and in reality never had a server before 12ish, then took 30-45 min to get food. Restaurants were both 7/10. Nothing to write home about. For the money spent, we won’t be returning. We’ve stayed at comparable properties within a mile or so, with 10/10 restaurants and 10/10 service.

Upgrade was supposed to be in reservation notes (per Ritz area executive) but were not and refused upgrade even though property was EMPTY. Then at check in told we would be given instead an \"oceanview\" room but received exactly the same room that we already had booked. A shell game.
Hotel and beach bars are ridiculously small for such a large property.
Pay a huge \"Resort Fee\" but they still nickel and dime guests on other fees.

I recently stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were exceptional, providing top-notch service and making sure I felt welcome and well taken care of throughout my stay. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience.

The food was good with a decent variety to suit different tastes. Everything was fresh and well-prepared.

The highlight, though, was the incredible ocean view from my room. It was breathtaking and unbelievably relaxing perfect for a peaceful getaway. Waking up to that view every morning was unforgettable.

One thing to note: the hotel does show a bit of its age, so if you’re looking for something ultra-modern and cutting edge in terms of design, you might notice some wear. However, this was by no means a deal breaker. The exceptional service and stunning views more than make up for it, and I would definitely stay here again!

The staff is amazing and the hotel is beautiful. It is a completely different vibe than south beach. Taylor and Marlene were so kind and helped make our stay special! Beautiful beaches and close to great luxury shopping.

The in-room dining food and restaurant can definitely use an upgrade. We were very disappointed that the food served at The Ritz was very poor. Modernizing the hotel amenities and adding more restaurants and bars to give guests other options would certainly help the hotel be competitive.

If asked, “Would I stay here again?”….unfortunately, will have to say no because there are much better options.

Stay away. This hotel is understaffed, and twice staff did not clean the room by 2 pm, but a person did come to account for the minibar every day. The single restaurant has a limited menu, and terrible breakfast. Go to the nearby St Regis hotel a few building down for an amazing buffet for the same price. Some of the concierge were new to Miami and knew little about the area. The area is far from any restaurants and room service closes at 10pm. The only redeeming value is the view and location to the beach. Skip this hotel.

Not a normal Ritz Carlton Hotel

This is not your normal Ritz Carlton Hotel and I wish it wasn’t advertised as such. It is a residential place with basically no lobby, one restaurant and a very small pool area. We were there on a holiday and service to get drinks or food was nonexistent. There is not a Club Level and no real bar. Our one bedroom suite was nice and roomy so we spent most of our time there.

The positive: the staff were generally nice, and the hotel had the familiar Ritz Carlton quiet feel and smell. The showers are amazing and the view into the bay gorgeous. It ends there. The breakfast was boring (go to another hotel nearby for an awesome buffet - just not here). Dining (room and restaurant) ends at 10 pm. My bed wasn’t made twice in a row by 2 pm because they are under staffed, but did have staff to knock on door mid-day to check on minibar. The staff is new on rotating basis and don’t know Miami. One staff member was incredibly rude when we had a question about the pool. The hotel gives a voucher for a happy hour drink for coffee or wine but staff didn’t want to honor it for coffee except once as a favor. The morning coffee was watered down.

Our stay was two nights, the first night we got very little sleep. Our neighbors had a party that went on into the wee hours. This is my sixth time staying at this location. The staff are doing the best they can, however the service has gone downhill. The Ritz Carlton should be providing top notch service, as their reputation is based on top-notch service, the service has fallen short dramatically. When you’re paying over $500/night plus an additional resort fee for a room you expect better service.
