Day 152 - Living It Up at The Ritz

someone is tickling my feet

Its all about Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne today...

KB is 5/10 minutes from Downtown and 20 minutes from South Beach and is an island "tropical oasis" ... with a village and the RC resort. The RCKB has 602 rooms inc 38 suites ... my suite 745 - 1 bedroom overlooks the Ocean ... its not snazzy .... just functional and homely.

First up, tennis down at the club that has 11 courts ... with tennis pro Mark who really helped my back-hand which has been languishing in the depths for a while.

Next up an interview with Marco Selva the GM on the 9th floor Club Lounge ... entertaining ... we marvelled at the fact that the resort was full over the weekend but didn't seem that way ... it is 12 acres with beach though ... so everyone could have been sitting in the sun while i was working!

Two drinkie features: Rum - the resort has 53 rums in the RUMBAR - i sampled the $750 one ... and an excellent tequila interview with the only tequila sommelier in the USA! I sampled a $72 a shot tequila... not a lime or salt in sight!

Finally a trip to the spa where lovely Giocanda gave me an excellent and colourful pedicure ... I have happy feet!

A great day ... a great resort!

We've moved on .... up to Aventura ... to Turnberry....I hope the sun shines!
