No longer a 5 star destination, sadly. My husband and I returned to the hotel ( after many years) to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had got engaged at this hotel many years ago and wanted to return, having absolutely loved the hotel and the wonderful memories they provided for us. The hotel itself has changed- nothing in the mini bar, no evening turn down service, food options are severely limited now; no breakfast buffet ( other than at weekends and even then, meager in its offering), very small in room dining menu and very few pool side choices. We booked the main restaurant ( twice in writing and once in person) for my husband’s birthday, hoping to sit at the same table where we got engaged. They did not appear to even have our booking and no birthday greeting was given. No cake was made ( as requested, twice, in writing) and we were led to a table inside the restaurant only after refusing to be seated on the patio where everyone without a booking was seated. I was so very upset as we have stayed at Ritz Carlton hotels all over the world for more than 20 years. Their reputation is built upon ‘Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen’. I requested to see the GM the next morning and was told he was unavailable. Another member of the management team, Connor, met with me and was very apologetic. He did everything he could to listen and make up for what happened, but the damage had been done. The GM has still not reached out to me. What incredibly poor service!
