St. Thomas
The Ritz-Carlton is, without a doubt, the best place to stay. If you’re the type who likes to kick off the day with a good sweat, they’ve got a workout center and tennis courts that’ll do the trick. But if you’re more about skipping straight to the Piña Coladas and kicking back, well, they’ve got that covered too. We read all the reviews before booking and even checked out a few other spots while we were there—let me tell ya, it wasn’t even close.
The Ritz was, well... The Ritz! The property is absolutely beautiful, and it’s first-class all the way from the moment you step out of the taxi. The only downside is that the rooms are set back on the hill a bit, so you’ll be climbing some stairs to get to them. Honestly, though, I didn’t mind—it made for a great leg workout and made me feel like I earned my playtime every time I headed back to the room.
