Excellent Hotel with amazing view to marina

I really liked that there is an outdoor heated pool with a view of the marina. The hotel has a kosher bar and restaurant, parking for hotel guests. We received courteous treatment, excellent breakfast and stunning views. Thank you!
An overpriced subpar for Ritz; an insult to the brand

Having been to several Ritz-Carlton properties over the years, I constantly kept asking myself how this rather subdued and small hotel managed to convince the powers that be to be bestowed with the hallowed name. Across the board, the hotel is not up to the brand snuff.
To start, the lobby is tiny and feels cramped. The service in the lobby bar is haphazard and slow and the selection is truly limited and printed on a piece of paper.
The location, while great overall, has the luxury hotel ($750/night normally) situated on top of a boarded up dump of a has-been mall, half empty. There is no beach but a marina - lovely but a schlep of a walk to where you can actually bathe.
The hotel pool, at the rooftop - is petite and reminds one of a cruise ship-sized pool. The bar at the pool closes pretty early and unlike the Ritz ultimate service quality, the staff is generally ok telling you to go away. (Is that a Ritz? one asks).
On to the rooms: The view is pretty great as all rooms face the ocean. The balconies are serviceable and fun to sit on.
The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, with a giant bathroom offering high quality products. But then, you are struck by the fact that the toilet stall and shower stall are TINY. With the doors opening into the stall, you find yourself twisting (and I am not portly) in order to access the toilet or take a shower; even starting the shower to let the hot water run ends up giving you a cold shower for trying.
As a business visit, the desk and chair are quite comfortable and again - a shortcoming: There is no power outlet available if you want to use the desk light. That's it. And again you scratch your head and ask - is this a RITZ?
The hotel's restaurant is pretty darn average; the breakfast choices are decent but nothing is great. The coffee comes from an automated machine. No Barista or attempt to level up.
So there you have it: event as a Marriott, this hotel will be just OK.
There is no great service, no great facilities, and nothing to make you think - WOW, this was worth it.
There are other choices that give you as good anything - and I would recommend the Dan Acadia nearby for real class. This is just a plain hotel pretending to be excellent. It's very much 'just good'.
This is not a Ritz by any scale and an embarassment to the marque .

The only reason why I have not rated this hotel with 5 stars is because of loud music all night long from a speaker directly in front of the room door. I asked the concierge every evening (sometimes twice the evening) to low down the speaker volume, which unfortunately hasn’t happened, at least I haven’t heard any difference.
If you can, ask for a room without a speaker in front of your room.

My partner and I recently stayed at this lovely hotel for four nights … we were expecting five star luxury and that’s exactly what we got!
Our room was spacious and modern with a superking bed , the bathroom was long and narrow but had a huge bathtub, two sinks, a big walk in shower and a separate toilet. The balcony was big with a partial view of the sea. The staff is excellent - they couldn’t have been friendlier or any more helpful to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We had a really good breakfast each morning and again the staff was superb. The only other meal we had at the hotel was in the lobby area late when we arrived .. the goujons and chips were absolutely gorgeous; one portion would be enough for two people - it was all piping hot and obviously had been freshly made -.we were very impressed.
We’d definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a great five-star property with service to match.

Your holiday may be affected by travel restrictions or cancellations
We are continually reviewing our flying schedules, taking into account the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice against all non-essential travel. Depending on when you are due to travel, your holiday may be affected and we’ll email you to let you know as least 21 days before travel.
Your next holiday is only a click away - our website has thousands of options ready to book. But if you need more help, just give us a call on 0344 472 9646.
With many customers needing our help, we are prioritising those customers due to travel before 31 December 2020. Log in to Manage my booking where you can message us about your options or you can give us a call. Bear in mind you may have to wait longer than expected. We continue to review this and working to open up these options to more customers. In the meantime check out our FAQs to see if this can help answer any immediate questions.
Rest assured; we will notify you as soon as we know if your holiday has been affected by email.

Don’t worry if you’ve missed a payment or just need a little more time to pay; we have options available to help you. If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.
We understand that you may wish to change your holiday plans and we appreciate the need for flexibility.
We'll be in touch by email letting you know how to register to change your holiday plans. You can also log into Manage my booking to find the details there.
Please look out for emails from us or visit our dedicated Covid-19 (Coronavirus) page for the latest updates.
If we haven’t notified you of any changes, your holiday will be going ahead as planned but if you prefer to move your holiday to a later time we can help. You can call our team on 0344 472 9499 who can look at options for you.
Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
I returned early from holiday and have further questions?
