Fall getaway

Stayed in a club room. Exceptional service. Our two young children were welome. Room a little smaller than expected but adequate. 6 year old enjoyed Ritz Kids. Rooms including suites not nearly as impressive as Sea Island but service was better.

splendid resort

just a splendid overall experience. definitely pricier than your average hotel, but the service and aesthetics far exceed that of any other hotel/resort. fully equipped gym was great , the beach was beautiful, and the cute gopher turtles from the sand dunes were also an added bonus :)

Great Stay!

We visited this fabulous hotel and were treated like royalty! The food was good and service was great. The only thing that wasn't disclosed was the $17/day parking fee. I could have parked myself!

luxurious get away

We spent a long fall weekend at the Rtiz, this is off season so we sometimes felt like we had the place to ourselves. The downfall was that this was also the construction season with many rooms, including right next door, filled with noisy construction workers. But, the walks on the fabulous beach were wonderful

Great Stay

Ritz at Amelia was great. Room was upgraded to ocean view upon arrival because the lady at the desk said it was a slow night. All the staff was great. Very helpful and friendly. Room was a good size and the view was great.
