The Ray is a beautiful, modern hotel in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and attractions. The room was beautifully appointed with a very comfortable bed and an awesome shower. A well-stocked (but pricey) mini-bar had a Nespresso machine with free coffee, which was great. Bottled water was not complimentary, however, and cost $8. Overall, I was very pleased with my room. I was excited to get a balcony, but mine overlooked the back alley and a large AC unit. I only have two real criticisms...the banquet space is very close to guest rooms, and after a Friday night wedding, the cleanup was so loud right outside my door that I could not sleep. It didn't stop until 1am...staff were yelling loudly, racking chairs, and dishes were clanging loudly. I was surprised that they did not seem to many any effort to be quiet. They also charge a $30 resort fee which gives you access to the rooftop pool and fitness center. The one time I went to the roof hoping to swim, the small pool area was completely overrun by day visitors to the rooftop bar and lounge. Although signs clearly say the pool is for guests only, they don't actually enforce it. When I mentioned it to the front desk, to their credit, they apologized and refunded my resort fee. In-room dining said "coming soon," but there are two or three excellent restaurants on site. I would definitely go back there and stay. On the whole, it's the best location in Delray, and it's a beautiful property.
