From the reviews
My husband, our children, and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Ritz-Carlton last weekend, and overall it was a beautiful and memorable experience for our family. The hotel itself is stunning, with elegant surroundings and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our time together feel extra special.
Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami was exceptional from start to finish. The property is absolutely beautiful, immaculately maintained, elegant, and peaceful, with stunning ocean views that truly set the tone for a relaxing getaway.
I had an overall amazing experience at The Ritz Carlton in Bal Harbour. The property itself is stunning, with a beautiful, clean beach and a calm, luxurious atmosphere that makes it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Every detail of the hotel reflects quality and care. The service truly stood out.
Thomas to the rescue. We were having somewhat of a bumpy beginning of our stay at this beautiful hotel. It was all service based issues. After speaking with one of the pool managers, Thomas, he definitely exceeded our expectations and created a very memorable time for my husband and I.
Getting married at The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
