Frommer's Review

If the Breakers is too mammoth for your taste, consider the Ritz. A lot warmer than the Four Seasons, The Ritz, located on a beautiful beach in a tiny town about 8 miles from Worth Avenue, lacks pretension. A $60-million renovation in March 2007 added flatscreen TVs, bedside electronic control panels, new mahogany furniture, and sleeper sofas in guest rooms and suites. New oceanfront suites have invisible televisions hidden behind mirrors, only visible when turned on. For those who can't stay off their cellphones, the hotel has also enhanced its previously paltry cellular reception. A new pool is hidden in a courtyard area and is ideal for relaxation; the 28,000-square-foot Grand Spa has koi and lily ponds. The specialty restaurant, Angle, is open for dinner only; a casual oceanfront restaurant called Temple Orange features contemporary American fare with fresh seafood. There's also Breeze, a poolside cafe and bar.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; bar; 2 outdoor pools; Boutique Spa and Fitness; Jacuzzi; watersports; equipment rental; bike rental; children's center/programs; teen's center/programs; concierge; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
