My 2 cents.
Was gold when we stayed there 3 years ago. I have Ritz Credit card and used the free Club level upgrade for 7 nights. Rate was $429.00 per night and we booked Oceanfront room.
The upside is you'll have easy access to pool and ocean. Downside is somewhat long walk over enclosed walkway over road back to lobby area.
Also, Deckers, on Tue. or Sat night, have all you can eat lobster tails. Dukes is also a fun place up the road from the Ritz.
