Where in the world can you find 5 star luxury at value, off-season prices?
The Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota is so special that I wish I did not live close by. This property combines the sophistication of a vibrant city with a casual coastal lifestyle. It is the perfect escape, especially during shoulder season. There is golf on a Tom Fazio designed course. You can walk to the city or take a shuttle to the private Members Beach Club on lovely Lido Beach. I pop in for coffee or a memorable martini meticulously made by Peter, the well know mixologist.
A custom package is the most economical and inclusive way to experience the exceptional dining and luxurious spa, along with golf or/and a white sandy beach on the gulf of Mexico. The golf and spa package is called “Birdies and Back-rubs”.
Whether you come by car, moped or boat, there is always a warm welcome for your relaxing escape in paradise, any time of the year.

I have also enjoyed the many amenities of the two Ritz-Carlton’s south of Sarasota in Naples, about a two-hour drive at the most.
