- Free breakfast

- Cheaper food options

RC:
- Newer, nicer hard product
- Speedboat vs. Seaplane (no weather issues, faster transfer)
- More F&B options
- Guaranteed hammock for the OWB

Could someone that has visited both properties provide any additional perspective to help make the decision? Thanks so much!
Ritz above and beyond. It's a much higher end product than the W. Actually a couple of F&B directors/chefs who are working at the Ritz came from the W.

I stayed at the W a long time ago (13 years ago) and it seems they never renovated the place, still looks the same when I stayed there.
