The Ritz-Carlton consists of two main buildings; the Waterway, which contains the lobby, restaurants, spa and guest rooms opposite the lagoon, and the other, which is a U-shaped complex of residential suites around a pool and restaurants, faces the ocean. A long corridor containing pieces of local art on the walls connects the buildings.[2] The main Waterway building contains the hotel lobby and concierge, the Silver Palm Lounge, Taikun and Blue by Eric Reipert on the 3rd floor. It also contains the Silver Rain La Prairie Spa, a ballroom, and the "Garden View" and "Resort View" rooms. The lagoon and garden is to the east of this and contains the Blue Tip Golf Course, designed by Greg Norman, and three clay tennis courts and one grass court designed by Nick Bollettieri.[2]

The hotel has 24 residential suites, which range from one to three bedrooms. The largest and most expensive suite is the 2,400 square feet (220 m2) Ritz-Carlton Suite overlooking the ocean, which as of 2006 cost $5,000 a night.[2] The Resort View Club Room, with an area of 480 square feet (45 m2), overlooks the North Sound Pool and has a 75 square feet (7.0 m2) terrace.[3] Ocean Front Club Room, of the same size, overlooks the beach. Many of the rooms are furnished in Italian linens and marble tables, with rattan chairs on the balconies.[2]
