sleep
- The resort reopened in December 2025 after a $100M renovation. Rooms feel clean, bright, and modern.
- It’s a large property (450 rooms), so service can feel less personal unless you book Club Level.
- You can connect a king room to a two-queen room, or a one-bedroom suite to a standard room — flexible setups for families.
- All rooms have a bathtub.
- One-bedroom suites have a separate living room with a sleeper sofa, an extra half bath, and two balconies (one off the bedroom and one off the living room).
- Residential Studio Rooms do not have a balcony but include a kitchenette with a microwave and stovetop.
- Residential Suites have full kitchens but only one balcony and one bathroom.
play
- Two heated outdoor pools: a zero-entry oceanfront family pool (with plenty of seating) and a separate adults-only pool, plus a large hot tub.
- Splash pad located near the family pool.
- The private beach is fairly narrow, and seaweed can accumulate depending on conditions.
- Free non-motorized water sports include paddleboards, kayaks, floats, and snorkeling equipment.
- The Cliff Drysdale Racquet Garden is a standout: 11 tennis courts plus padel courts, with strong junior programming, camps, and clinics.
- Ritz Kids (ages 5–12) offers half- and full-day sessions focused on nature, ocean exploration, crafts, and sports. Reservations can be made online. It’s expensive, but well run.
- On select days, a half-day turtle exploration program is offered for kids.
- Other kid-friendly activities include a putting green, outdoor ping pong table, and a large chess set.
- The property is stroller-friendly and easy to navigate.
- The island setting feels quiet and relaxed, especially compared to the liveliness of Miami.
- If you want to venture off property, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is a fun nearby outing.
eat
- Two main dinner restaurants, plus several casual daytime options.
- Breakfast at Luma starts at 7am. Room service begins at 6am, and coffee is available in the lobby.
- Poolside pizza from Stefano’s is an easy win with kids.
- You can order from restaurant menus directly to your pool chair, though service may slow during busy periods.
- Scoop (gelato) and the chocolate shop close in the early evening, so late-night dessert options are limited.
- If you’re staying in a residential room, the hotel can stock your fridge in advance.
- Club Level rooms include access to the 9th-floor lounge with breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks, and a dedicated concierge.
