Let me know if you’ve stayed at any of these hotels. Or which ones you’d add to the list!
Reiterating my previous post, Ritz Carlton Golf Resort in Naples is a Tier 3 and can be used for the three free nights. But because of the free shuttle to the Ritz Carlton Naples on the beach, you can spend much of the day at the Tier 5 hotel and then return to the Golf Resort. It’s the best of both worlds.
Any concerns that three free nights will have the same impact as Wyndham’s three free nights which pressured (?) the Hawaii hotel to mess up their award inventory and ultimately switch brands. In other words, how hard would it be to find six straight nights at the Maui hotel?
does this card offer the same travel insurance as the Chase Sapphire? Specifically, for paying taxes/fees on award tickets like the Chase Sapphire? If so, this card would be great in order to cover those travel credits
@PSL – Unfortunately, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples switched to a Tier 5 hotel last year. So you’re not able to use the complimentary nights at this hotel.
@HeavenlyJane – Thanks for sharing your experience!
You missed our very favorite – Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain – outside of Tucson. It is a golf resort but course is down the road from the hotel so it doesn’t make it feel overly golfy. We love it because it abuts the Tortolita Mountain Park, a Saguaro catcus-studded state park that rivals nearby Saguaro National Park. There are lots of trails that leave straight from the hotel front and back. They even have a naturalist on staff that leads bird walks in the am and night hike and star talks in the evening. To us, it feels like a high-end national park lodge. We were there for a weekend this past February and will be returning this coming January. It’s the sort of place that I can easily return to every winter for a weekend get-away.
