The Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain

I stayed here with my husband for 8 nights and so we were able to get familiar with the property and the employees. It is located in a remote area, but that is part of its charm. They are currently selling lots/building homes around it, so I am feeling fortunate that I was able to experience this area now. The location to hiking and spectacular mountain views are top notch. The main building, pool, and main floor restaurant views are also top notch. Our dinners there were good to very good. Service well trained, tried to make small talk and asked open ended questions. The pool staff were the stars! They were vibrant, fun, very attentive and helpful. The night sky is simply amazing and one of my favorite memories is when we placed bocce ball after dinner outside in their citrus grove under the stars. The room was very nice with nice amenities, but like another post mentioned, the room was VERY noisy. I think it was coming from the refrigerator? We should have asked for a different room, but we liked the location of our room. Overall it felt like a 4.5 star experience. We did leave disappointed when they didn’t allow for a late check out on a Monday. Just asked for a few hours. That did leave a bad taste in my mouth and so probably won’t be going back.

This is by far the greatest resort experience I’ve ever been at, and I am still here. The staff will fit all of your accommodations as soon as possible and they are nothing but respectful. All they want to do is make your stay more enjoyable. The food is also lights out. I am SO HAPPY HERE. Sadly I leave tomorrow :(. Oh and the golf course is INSANE. Worth every penny

What a great hotel. The view and the Ritz really knows hospitality. From the moment you enter the property until we left, the staff was amazing!! Great amenities- hiking, bike, the pool and the gym.

Beautiful resort with so much to do. Plenty of hiking and biking trails of varying difficulty. There are also 4 tennis courts for guests. The rooms are very quiet and the bed is comfortable. Everyone working at the resort looks so happy, and the service is impeccable. However, Marriot has gone too far to beg for tips. It's annoying to see the housekeeper (they are great) stuff notes to ask for gratuity every day, and then in the app Marriot asks again for tips.

Beautiful scenery on the way here. The staff were mostly young kids in their 20s but courteous and professional. Room was spacious with a beautiful mountain view. Bed was comfy for 2 nights I stayed. There was a small mix-up on the welcome card, which was quickly corrected. I learned a lot and had fun looking for scorpions on the night hike — a must-do experience. Turndown service was wonderful as usual. I left feeling peaceful and happy after my stay. Ritz Dove Mountain is great for families, couples and solo visitors. I’m already planning to return and highly recommend this place.
