Jus a couple draw backs that didn't effect our stay per say but will add up you costs, daily resort fees have gone up and no free valet/overnight parking even if you staying at The Ritz. Key Biscayne had enough choice within walking distance that it didn't effect it. Only draw back was the food/restaurant or lack of choices was a lil scant, but we are still trying to get over a pandemic. The Ritz Spa did not dissapoint! Pili(my therapist) was calm and willing to accommodate my changing needs(I previously booked a sea salt scrub with massage but burned my back the day before) she listened to me and immediately suggested a CBD Massage, she had perfect pressure and was a dream! The beach was exceptional here very clean and kept up daily. The property was a dream, clean, nicely laid out and right on Key Biscayne beach. I highly recommend arriving at least an hour early and have a drink at Lido bar at Four Seasons Surfside because it is an absolutely stunning ambiance.Rooms were clean, nice decor(not to beachy) and surprisingly roomy. Thomas Keller Surf Club Restaurant was excellent and for sure a MUST if you are in the area. I recommend calling ahead of time to start your order or enjoy cocktails and appetizers just knowing you will have a good amount of wait time if you choose this as your main entree. It is important to note if you want to order this entree it takes about 2 hours from the time you order until serving. Their favorite menu item of mine is the Sea Salt Crusted Market Fish because it reminds me of dining on the Amalfi Coast. Seaspice is actually located next to Kiki on The River. I always love dining at his restaurants this one was no exception. Matador is by Jean-Georges, my absolute favorite chef. Glass and Vine had such a cute outdoorsy area with trees lit up and on certain nights they have live music. Hillstone Restaurant was great for a steakhouse. I was not impressed with the meal but I do want to note it has a fun vibe so I really would save this restaurant if you are looking for a trendy nightlife spot. One evening we dined at Kiki on the River. I loved Hillstone, Glass and Vine, Matador, Seaspice, and The Surf Club Restaurant. I love combining time at the resort and time exploring the destination during my vacation.ĭuring my time at Key Biscayne I really wanted to dine and try out different and popular restaurants in Miami as Miami is known more for their dining than Key Bisayne. We enjoyed all of our amenities included in the Cabana such as snacks, sunscreens, lotions, champagne, fruit platter and more! We had 4 lounge chairs in the sun area and in the covered area we had a sectional sofa with a fan perfect for alternating when the Florida heat hits. Our cabana attendant for the day really embodied the Ritz Carlton level of excellent service you expect to receive at a 5 star luxury resort. We decided to rent one of the Supreme Pool Cabanas by the Adult-Only Pool. My last day on property was my actual birthday. We ended with dinner at Seaspice which is ideal for anyone on their yacht day as the yacht can pull up dockside to enter the restaurant. We played around on the Jet Skis, drank some champagne and enjoyed the day. This vacation was also my birthday celebration! We rented a beautiful 80 foot yacht on Friday and had a fabulous time. The rest of the days we spent enjoying the downtown area of Miami dining out at local restaurants, and of course lounging at the beach and pool. We ate at Cantina Beach Restaurant on property and it was an easy casual meal that we wanted. If you know me, you know I always like to dine on property for dinner the first night. We were so happy to have the perk granted to us to refresh after the travel day and change into beach attire to start off our vacation! With being a Ritz STAR Advisor early-check (subject to availability) is a perk for myself and my clients. We reserved a One Bedroom Executive Ocean View Suite connecting to an Ocean View Room with 2 double beds for my daughter and her friend. The Miami Airport is easily accessible from any of the New York Airports and if none of those flight options work for you, you can always fly into Fort Lauderdale airport, only an hour from the property. Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne was the right destination for me and my family during my daughter’s school break as we wanted an easy getaway to a warm weather destination within the United States.
