My husband and I just returned from a 3-night stay at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club. With taxes and…read morefees, our room was over $800 per night, so we expected a restful, high-quality experience. While the property itself is beautiful and the woman who checked us in was warm and welcoming, our stay unfortunately ended on a very negative note. We had to check out at 3:40 a.m. for an early flight and went to bed early. The room next door was hosting a loud party with multiple people, and we could clearly hear laughing and shouting through the walls. Just after midnight, I called the front desk and explained that we had an early flight and couldn't sleep due to the noise. Brittany assured me she would send security. However, the noise continued without any change, and it never sounded as though security approached the room. At 12:53 a.m., when the noise grew even louder, I called again. This time I was told that security "did not believe it was a disturbance." At that point, I genuinely felt as though the resort was prioritizing the enjoyment of the party next door over our ability to rest--despite a clear request for assistance and the fact that we needed to be up in just three hours for a cross-country flight. I again explained what we were hearing and asked that someone please address the issue. Finally, at 1:04 a.m., security broke up the party. By then, it was extremely difficult to fall asleep before our 3:00 a.m. alarm, leaving us exhausted for a long travel day. When we checked out this morning, the front desk associate Effrain printed our receipt but did not ask how our stay was or thank us for visiting. When I mentioned this, he stated that it was "early in the morning" for him. I explained the situation from the night before, and he replied that he didn't know anything about it but could "write it in a report." When we asked how to contact a manager, he said we could email but did not have an email address to provide, stating that he had only been there three months. We came to Ponte Vedra to attend my company's executive Christmas party and hoped for a relaxing weekend. While the resort is undeniably beautiful, the lack of responsiveness to a legitimate noise disturbance--combined with dismissive customer service at checkout--left us extremely disappointed, especially at this price point. We truly wish our experience had matched the reputation and cost of the resort.

I have a home in palm coast with a private pool and may start seeking others from Sunny Sands to visit and enjoy the wind and sun as we did there, once.

Ornate, luxurious, top notch service, everything you'd expect from a Ritz property…read more Lobby bar - A beautiful living room for hanging out during the day. We arrived at the Ritz too late for dinner anywhere but the lobby bar. Enjoyed several sushi rolls with drinks, each one imaginative fresh and tasty. But some event had recently let out and the lobby bar got crowded and LOUD. I mean over 100db loud (measured). That's the equivalent of enjoying sushi while jackhammers are crushing concrete all around you. Whoa! Ocean front one bedroom suite - Plush, large, comfortable. Curtains blocked most light, but the bright morning sun still peeked in around the edges. Comfortable bed and plenty cold for good sleeping. Two huge TVs. While the only premium feed provided is Netflix, the cable box had been lowered behind the TV in the living room such that it was simple to plug in your own device. If this is by design, kudos to the Ritz. If this was accidental, we feel very fortunate. Awesome to have a second half bath, wish that was an option at more hotels. The main bath, very roomy, with a huge dressing area, was a little odd in that, while there was a door to the toilet, there was no door to the tub/shower. Not a big deal, as it was around a corner providing a little privacy, it's still a weak design decision. Huge balcony with ocean front views that go on forever. A few chairs and a table, but a bit under furnished. Still quite a treat for the view, breeze and privacy. Never even slightly tempted to leave the property during our stay. Over a 4 night stay, we visited nearly every bar and restaurant option, and never felt like we were having to "make do". Pool - the kiddie pool was closed for renovations, so children took over the main pool all day. If you're not a tolerant direct parent, you're not gonna get in that water, if you know what I mean. Overall the pool and chairs were pretty crowded, so almost worth the premium to have rented a cabana for 8-2 one day. Lots more room and comfort, both lounge chairs and couch seating, TV, snacks and drinks.

Our friends and family also joined us and we booked 4 rooms including suites. The resort had a new owner when we initially visited in 2021 and several changes were to be made. The place could be really nice but it has taken its toll over the past 3 years. The owner has not done any upgrades as were promised. The furniture is falling apart and you can't even sit on it with having flakes left on your clothing. The floors and carpet in the main lobby are dirty and stained. The fish tank up front as well as the large koi pond are not cleaned and the poor fish inside struggle for air. There is black gunk and mold all over the glass, thick and hanging from the filters. You can't enjoy the pool because it is not cleaned and there are tons of bugs. It was so bad they even closed the pool several days. The mosquitoes and flying bugs outside are so abundant that you can't even enjoy the outdoors. So much for a relaxing water vacation! Trees were not trimmed and there were several overgrown areas which I feel contributed to the excess amount of bugs. If you walked around outside you were attacked by swarms of bugs. You literally had to hold your breath when walking thru them or you would swallow some. NASTY! The rooms were pretty clean overall but in poor condition. Furniture needed updating and there was no table or chairs in our suite. Just a bed and couch. The electrical outlets kept popping making it difficult to plug anything in. It is sad that this place is in a great location but nothing is being done to make it amenable. Upon leaving we were asked if we were booking for next year. When we said no and let them know why. They didn't seem to care. So we definitely will not be back. I suggest saving your money and possibly going to another nearby location. This could take a turn for the better. But it hasn't in 3 years. Not to mention the owner was not very friendly or concerned. A final note: The AC in the main lobby and several of the rooms didn't work well and the staff thought it best to turn it off. It was better outside on 104 heat than inside a supposedly cool resort with no pool access.

I've stayed at other motels but liked this one the best and they gave me a discount since I stay there so much. I have to be at another job in the morning on the opposite side of the state so I got done at this job about 11:30 am and called in and told them that I'd be leaving and needed to check out after I get my stuff. The tweeker looking chick that's been up for days with dark ass circles around her eyes like a raccoon, proceeds to tell me I'm getting charged for tonight since check out is 11. So I hung up on her, left the job I was on, went and packed up my clothes and went to the office to ask wtf. On the way down I see the house cleaner and ask her if she had been to my room yet she said no I just got upstairs and cleaning the room on the total opposite end of the building right now I won't be to yours for another while. So I wasn't stopping her from doing her job obviously. So now it's time to go to the offfice and it's her and the mgr guy probably the owner who tf knows said that yes if I stay past 11 then I'll be charged for that night. This mf tries to tell me I don't have the right to talk to his house cleaners. lol this is America mf and I'll talk to whoever tf I want to thank you. I wasn't stopping her from doing her job of cleaning my room for the next customer and you want to charge me the extra hundred dollars for tonight????. He wants to argue so I give back my special discount card and room key and walked tf out telling them I won't ever stay here again after paying my bill from the night before that I owed like a decent human being. Moral of the story: don't piss off your customers over an hour of time especially if it doesn't affect anything that you have going on because now it just cost you thousands of dollars over the next few years!!!!!! I hope the owner or investors reads this and fires both these assholes over lost clientele. Remember WE are the ones that pay YOUR FUKING BILLS!!!!!!!!!

We received another confirmation email prior to our arrival that made it clear early check-in before 3 could not be accommodated so we were careful to arrive between the check-in hours of 3-9 PM. Check-in was easy and the room was very well appointed with everything we needed. We've stayed in everything from 5-star hotels in Europe and Indonesia to very cheap motels in small towns. This hotel competes with some of the better places we have stayed. The hotel is has been renovated by the owners and matches the cute quaint vibe of the city itself, Crystal River. It is also within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the water / boat ramps which we loved. The room came with a bottle of wine and some sweet treats which we really appreciated. Especially once we learned that getting a spot for dinner on Valentines Day in the small town was pretty much impossible. Because of this we opted to get carry out, open our wine, and enjoy the dessert left in the room. As others mentioned the room was spotless, we found the decor to be current and fresh, the bathroom was stunning, and the AC and refrigerator were perfect. We will return at the next possible time and highly, highly recommend.

I checked into the hotel on 03/27/2026 and checked out the very same day because the room condition was unacceptable. The room was not clean and did not meet reasonable expectations for a hotel stay. I was uncomfortable remaining there and chose to leave rather than stay overnight. Despite the fact that I never actually stayed at the property, the hotel has refused to issue any refund and is keeping the full charge for the entire stay. I attempted to resolve the issue directly with the hotel and through Expedia, providing clear communication about why I left the property the same day. Communication from the hotel was delayed and unhelpful. I received responses saying the matter would be sent to management, but no meaningful resolution was ever provided. What made this experience even more concerning was the dispute process afterward. During my credit card dispute, the hotel reportedly claimed that I "never checked out," which is completely false. I did leave the property the same day and have documentation showing my attempts to contact the hotel and resolve the matter. A disappointing room is one thing, but the lack of accountability, refusal to reasonably address the situation, and inaccurate statements made afterward are what ultimately led me to leave this review. I strongly encourage future guests to thoroughly inspect their room immediately upon arrival and keep records of all communication if problems arise.
