The Beach at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

"Best are the six Oceanfront Lanai Suites, just a few grains of sand away from the beach"

"A huge (though relaxed) beachfront resort with reliable service, a great pool, a top-notch spa, and a modern fitness center, the Ritz offers more for the money"

"But the hotel also has great amenities, such as the Cantina Beach restaurant, a sleek affair with a fire pit in the sand and more than 80 kinds of tequila, making it a good choice for romantic getaways"

"The only Ritz with a DJ to spin disco tunes in its lobby, it offers a beautiful pool and beach club with a tanning butler"

"Try the urban rainforest with 23 body sprays or head to the beach and lounge in a groovy, tented sunbed"
