My husband and I planned a special trip to begin our retirement. We chose the Ritz Carlton, Rancho Mirage, CA. The room was beautiful and very clean. There was a huge bath tub and a wonderful shower. We chose the desert view and enjoyed the sunrise from our balcony. The Spa was beautiful and the people there were very accomodating to made the experience very relaxing. We had dinner at the Edge restaurant on property - food was carefully prepared and delicious. Cecelia, our server, made our evening extra special by treating us like long time friends. She had great stories about the area and the food. Everywhere we went on property was clan and all the employees helped make our experience special. We definitely had a 5 star experience.
