Gut: Sauberkeit und Check-in
The Ritz Carlton has soooo much Sargassum right now, it is really bad this year. When we checked in they put us in the very end of the Lily building, which was right next to the spot where they collect all of the sargassum and it gets rotten. They have barriers out in the water that direct it all there, and they have heavy equipment scooping it out every day. We appreciated how hard they were working to remove it, but the smell was so bad we could not go outside the unit and could even smell it inside. We also had to listen to the equipment and super loud local parties at beach across the street. Once we walked through the property we found the smell wasn’t bad in the other half of the residences or the hotel, so we asked to be moved. They moved us to the Iris building The room was not as nice but at least we could sit on our patio or walk outside without the smell. This was a pain because we had to repack and move everything. I have no idea why they would expect anyone to stay next to rotting sargassum. We didn’t spend much time at the Ritz because of all the seaweed. The hotel side was more crowded but nicer. The food was very good, but the service was slow. We did a private boat to the BVI one day and Lady Lindsay to St. John which were great and convenient going from Ritz beach. We spent a fortune on taxis to go places, 8 pp one way minimum to go 5 min away. I know they can’t help the seaweed, but be wary this time of year. Our room was clean and spacious.
