Weekend at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne

I gotta tell you, my wife and I love it down here in Miami, we just got burned out moving in (still have some decorating left to do) so we decided to hit the beach this last weekend.

We didn’t just hit the beach, we turned it into a weekend mini vacation at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne!

Although Key Biscayne is only a 30 minute drive from our place in Coral Gables, it’s its own little island, both quiet and secluded. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway.

Shilpi and I have stayed at several 5 star hotels, but this is the first time we stayed at a Ritz, and all I can tell you is that it’s an AMAZING experience. The service, the food, the location (right on the beach) is all amazing.

Here’s what’s really cool…

I got a ton of perks for booking the Ritz with my black card :

PERK #1 : Upon check in our room was immediately upgraded to a Oceanside Suite. The room was HUGE, it had a seperate living room and bedroom, 2 bathrooms, a shower + a bathtub, and 2 balconies.

Our Suite was on the 12th floor so the view was great :

PERK #2 : We got full American breakfast buffet for 2 each morning + plus on time lunch for 2 all completely free.

We actually only ended up paying for dinner at the Cioppino the 2 nights we were there, which wasn’t keep, but it was some of the best food we’d had in a long time!

The Cioppino serves authentic Tuscan cuisine and was name one of the top 20 new restaurants in the US.

Get this : they fly in cheese from Tuscany twice a week. I won’t bludgeon you with what a meal for 2 costs at this restaurant, let’s just say I’m glad that our lunch and breakfast was covered!

PERK #3: $50 cover for incidental expenses. Not a big deal compared to the room upgrade and the food, but it all adds up.

We didn’t do too much while we were there, expect spend some time at the pool, and on the beach. We planned to go snorkeling but it was canceled (water was too choppy), however, we ended up biking through one of the parks on the island, and that was very cool.

Shilpi and I have some more little trips planned this summer, just enjoying our time while we’re in South Florida!

    To anyone here who is complaining:

    Last time I checked you don’t have to read this blog.

    Stop hating!

    You do realize that when you come and spend YOUR TIME to criticize someone, you’re HATING right?

    And it don’t matter if all your little spoiled unsuccessful friends do it also. It’s still HATING!

    Amit,

    Glad you had a good time. Please keep us updated. A LOT of us really enjoy your blog and look forward to your posts.

    Jesse,

    And last time I checked, statements such as your’s are completely false:
    “You do realize that when you come and spend YOUR TIME to criticize someone, you’re HATING right?”

    I don’t realize that for one reason, because if that was true I would never get anything improved.

    And me as a web developer/designer I would have to consider all my feedback givers as people that truly hate me. But in fact I consider them as great help to me.

    And once again, I never wished Amit bad luck. All the best to him!
