Frommer's Exceptional

The Ritz-Carlton takes Key Biscayne to the height of luxury with 44 acres of tropical gardens, a 20,000-square-foot European-style spa, and a world-class tennis center under the direction of tennis pro Cliff Drysdale. Decorated in British Colonial style, The Ritz-Carlton is straight out of Bermuda, with its impressive flower-laden landscaping. The Ritz Kids programs provide children ages 5 to 12 with fantastic activities, and the 1,200-foot beachfront offers everything from pure relaxation to fishing, boating, or windsurfing. Spacious and luxuriously appointed rooms are elegantly Floridian, featuring large balconies overlooking the ocean or lush gardens. The oceanfront Italian restaurant Cioppino is excellent for formal dining, or if you prefer casual dining, the oceanfront Cantina Beach serves great Mexican food and even a Tequlier -- a sommelier for tequila -- and a brand new Rum Bar. The hotel's remote location -- just a 10-minute drive from the hustle and bustle -- makes it a favorite for those (John Travolta, among others) who want to avoid the hubbub.
