Six distinct dining venues include Jack Dusty for seafood, Ridley's Porch for waterfront dining at the Beach Club, and the Golf Club Grille. The property houses 60000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, two heated swimming pools, and a full-service spa offering marine treatments.

Pros

Pet-friendly policies distinguish it as Sarasota's only luxury hotel accepting animals

Club Level rooms include five daily food presentations and complimentary garment pressing

Two lighted tennis courts available at The Golf Club with complimentary shuttle service

Kemp's Market offers convenient beachside grab-and-go options at Lido Key

Cons

Golf Club requires 20-minute drive to Vanderipe location

Beach Club amenities located off-site from main hotel property

“The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota excels with its private beach club access and prime waterfront location, though some find the physical property showing its age. I noted the dedicated staff and elevated club-level experience, set against the backdrop of Sarasota's cultural scene. For travelers who prioritize attentive service and exclusive beach access, this remains a solid choice despite dated aspects.”
