When the Ritz-Carlton on Grand Bay closed for renovations last April, a favorite destination for local dining, entertainment and spa treatments was temporarily shut down.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with \u201cthe Ritz\u201d &#8211; as it is known to many Key Biscayners &#8211; reopened in earnest this past December, locals are returning to the reimagined property, eager to make up for lost time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Ladies and Gentlemen are just as excited to welcome local residents back as Key Biscayners are to return and experience the newly reimagined property,\u201d Market General Manager Derek Flint told Islander News.<\/p>\n<p>As an added way to say, \u201cwelcome back,\u201d the resort is also bringing back a pre-pandemic favorite: the Key Card program, which offers exclusive savings and perks to verified Key Biscayne residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope residents take advantage of the benefits and exclusivity the new Key Card provides,\u201d Flint added.<\/p>\n<p>Islander News spoke with Flint about the return of the program and what residents can expect.<\/p>\n<p>IN: How does the return of the Key Card program fit into this new chapter for the property?<\/p>\n<p>DF. We are honored to welcome the Key Biscayne community. The return of the Key Card program is a meaningful part of this new chapter, an era defined by a deep appreciation for the island that shapes our identity.<\/p>\n<p>The program is exclusively designed for Key Biscayne residents and celebrates the community that has been integral to our story since the very beginning. Through curated culinary moments, spa experiences and tailored offerings, the Key Card program becomes not simply a benefit, but a true homecoming for locals.<\/p>\n<p>IN: In what ways has the Key Card program been updated or enhanced compared to its pre-pandemic version?<\/p>\n<p>DF. The program has been elevated to complement our resort. Residents can now enjoy a series of curated experiences designed to bring the resort\u2019s transformation to life, whether through spa &amp; wellness, food and beverage or leisure.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also made the property more accessible than ever. Parking is now just $5, making it effortless for residents to visit frequently and explore their favorite spaces, from the spa, to our dining venues, to the renewed outdoor areas.<\/p>\n<p>IN: Do you see residents engaging differently with the resort now following the renovations?<\/p>\n<p>DF. We anticipate that our residents will interact with the resort in a more immersive way. The renovations have created inviting spaces that feel both elevated and familiar. While it is our pleasure to provide the finest experience, we kindly request reservations at our Spa, Luma and Paral\u00eda restaurants. At times, the resort may experience exclusivity measures that reserve experiences for registered in-house guests or those with advance reservations.<\/p>\n<p>IN: What do you see as the biggest benefit for residents? Is it about access, exclusivity, affordability, or creating more of a \u201clocal\u201d experience at the resort?<\/p>\n<p>DF. The most meaningful benefit is the sense of community the Key Card creates. Residents receive special access, along with savings that are designed to give the island a resort experience that truly belongs to them.<\/p>\n<p>Just as important, the Key Card program helps bring people together and reconnect over great food and beautiful views.
