Pathway from our Room

"La Playa Beach & Golf Resort - A Beachfront Standout in Naples" We just returned from LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, and it may have set a new bar for us. First, the staff's attentiveness was on another level; they deserve their own paragraph. Everyone we met, from the valet to the front desk, restaurant, and beach staff, was congenial, friendly, and genuinely willing to help. Not rehearsed politeness, but real warmth that made the whole stay feel personal. The rooms, lobby, and common areas were immaculate, clearly the work of a team that takes real pride in the property. The on-site restaurant, Baleen, was a standout, and honestly, one of the best meals we've had anywhere in Naples. We started with a beet and butternut squash salad, followed by blackened grouper and a free-range chicken paillard, both cooked to perfection and paired with a glass of Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay. Breakfast was just as delectable and included one of my favorites, huevos rancheros. Friends say I'm hypercritical when it comes to food, and I'm not arguing. Most restaurants get by on mediocrity; Baleen doesn't. Every dish was artistic and balanced in its presentation, and only surpassed by its taste. We stayed in a Lanai Room, literally steps from the beach, and "magical" is the only word for it. Waking up that close to the sand and the Gulf is something we won't forget anytime soon. The bedding was extremely comfortable, and we loved that there were even pillow firmness options, so you could dial in exactly how you rest. As my old friend would say, "We'll be back." And I really don't have a choice in the matter, as my wife flatly refuses to go anywhere else in Naples.

La Playa Beach resort is always a place I go to when I'm in Naples. The staff here is really friendly and I love that they set up your beach equipment for you. The views are stunning and everything here is top tier. Sometimes, the food and drink can be overpriced, but it is still enjoyable! A recent favorite of mine has been the big kahuna dog and the tropical frose.

Seman /sperm stains and pubic hair

We booked a junior suite at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, FL for my wife's 65th birthday celebration, and what happened was beyond unacceptable -- something I never thought I would experience at a supposedly high end hotel resort. At 11 PM, when we were getting ready for bed, we pulled back the sheets and found dry bodily fluid stains and hair on the mattress. Housekeeping spent over two hours trying to fix it, repeatedly bringing queen size sheets and covers that didn't fit the bed. They couldn't find the correct bedding for the junior suite we paid for. After that failed, they moved us to another room -- but it wasn't comparable, and it had an equipment room right outside the door, blasting noise loud enough that sleep would have been impossible. We went back to the front desk, and they told us they had nothing else available. At that point, we demanded a full refund and said we were leaving. Instead of helping, the night manager was dismissive and rude. She charged us for one night, told us to "take it up with the daytime manager tomorrow," and acted like we were the inconvenience. So instead of celebrating her 65th birthday, we ended up driving home at 1 AM -- and because of this, we also lost our restaurant reservations and tickets for a comedy show the next day, all prepaid and non refundable. The next day the daytime manager called and apologized, fully refunded us our playa resurvation, and promised a gift certificate will be sent the next day so we could "come back and experience the amazing stay we should have had." Well that never happned. I emailed asking for the promised certificate -- and well now they're ghosting us. And based on how all of this was handled, it really feels like this isn't an isolated incident and happens often. So to add insult to injury- Tomorrow certificate never came. No response. No accountability. Posting this publicly because private communication clearly isn't a priority for you. Do better....much

La Playa Beach and Golf Resort in Naples Florida is a beautiful place to stay. The resort has so many wonderful amenities and a fantastic restaurant. I'm attending business meetings here but my Wife has been able to see quite a bit of this wonderful place. We just watched the gorgeous Sunset over the Gulf of America and it was absolutely breathtaking!

Sunset view

Great view but super overcrowded and loud. It was over 20 minutes before we were served. Then we suffered sticker shock as drinks were $20+ and a salad + protein was $40 on average. Once was enough.

Attempt to keep water from going under the door.
Kim L.

The hotel is not in good shape. Our room had what appeared to be mold spots on the ceiling they tried the cover. Floors were scratched. Tub had pits and rust in it. Water came under the front door. Other areas of the lobby were leaking water. It is not what you expect for almost $1000 a night. On a positive note, the breakfast and service at the restaurant was great.

By the time we walked the short distance inside, they greeted us by name with glasses of champagne. Our room was available early so we were able to check right in. They led us to our room, showed us around, and offered to give us a tour of the facility. We had lunch at Gumbo Limbo right on the beach. The views and food were terrific.

We struck up a conversation, and she thanked me for my patience while waiting in line. Since I'm a Marriott Bonvoy member, I asked if there happened to be any upgrades available. She smiled and said she had found one for me. I thanked her, headed upstairs, and opened the doors to what I can only describe as the most incredible hotel suite I have ever seen. I knew something was different the moment I saw the double entry doors. Inside was an immaculate, magnificent suite featuring a spacious living room, a luxurious master bedroom, a second bedroom, spacious living room and **three bathrooms**, with breathtaking views overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the beach, and the pool from multiple balconies. The master bathroom alone was larger than many standard hotel rooms and even featured its own Toto toilet. Every detail reflected luxury, from the remote-controlled drapes and sheers to every toiletry imaginable, and even a thoughtfully stocked minibar featuring Macallan 12. I was so stunned that I immediately Face Timed my wife to show her the suite. Her reaction? *"You have to come get me."* I had driven two hours from home to attend a conference and had expected nothing more than a beautiful room with a king-size bed. Instead, I found myself in what felt like a private luxury residence. So, I got back in my car, drove the two hours home, picked up my wife and daughter, and then drove the two hours back to Naples--all so they could experience this extraordinary suite with me. It was absolutely worth every mile. I've been staying in hotels for more than 50 years, and without question, this is the finest hotel room I have ever experienced. What makes the experience even more remarkable is that it all came from a complimentary upgrade as a Marriott Bonvoy member. That one thoughtful gesture transformed a business trip into an unforgettable family memory. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples delivered an experience I'll never forget. Thank you to the wonderful woman at the front desk for her kindness and generosity and thank you to everyone at the Ritz-Carlton for making this one of the most memorable hotel stays of my life.

Our rooms were ready upon checking in and it was an easy process. When first walking in the lobby I loved the chandeliers and luxury feel of the hotel. They have valet service which they're all extremely nice. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite that was equipped with a kitchen/sink/fridge/and dishwasher which was nice on nights we wanted to eat in. The beds were my favorite as the sheets are very comfy. The view is stellar over looking the marina with boats docked. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. I also think the highlight of this hotel is the service. Our rooms were cleaned every day, even when we were in our rooms late afternoon and needed the room cleaned later on in the day without having to ask to come back later for cleaning. Also, the pools, hot tub, and lazy river are so fun and beautifully kept. There is also an adult only section of the pool with a lap pool , regular pool, and hot tub which was nice. However, the club where the pools are are a little far and the hotel staff transport you to and from the pools back to the hotel. Some times it takes five minutes but when they're busy you might wait 10-20 minutes for a shuttle which can sometimes be hard to wait with small children. Also, if you want a shuttle to the beach it's great because they give you towels, umbrellas, and chairs. The downside is we had to wait almost 30 minutes for the shuttle back to the hotel. The same gentlemen that valet the cars are the ones that shuttle guests around. When they're busy valeting, shuttle services get backed up. I do think they should have more shuttles, but other than that it was a wonderful experience. Lastly, Larry was one of the best shuttle staff. He was personable, helpful, and always had a smile. Overall, we enjoyed our time here.

I enjoyed a lovely stay at the Compass by Margaritaville in Naples…read more It's in a bustling area with plenty of eateries and beach access nearby (no beach access from the hotel, but lovely beaches a short drive away). Plus, they have a fun in house restaurant and bar as well. The lobby area leads right into the bar area and they also have a little souvenir shop/snack shop as well. The rooms are spacious and the air conditioning works like a champ (not my experience at every hotel in Southwest Florida). My king room had a comfy chair, desk, kitchenette with dinette, and bathroom with plenty of counter space for all my toiletries. The overall feel of the hotel had much more character than similarly priced chain hotels. The service was wonderful for the majority of my stay. On my final morning, they wouldn't let my delivery driver up with my food (they called my room but my phone wasn't working right--and I didn't expect that since every other morning they had let up my delivery with no call or fuss). When I called down to see if someone from the hotel could deliver it as I wasn't yet dressed, they said no they didn't have the staff (fair). But, beyond that inconvenient blip--the rest of the trip was lovely. Get to it!

Overall, I dig the resort even if the amenity pricing overall is pricey. My wife and loved the bedroom with the ceiling high mirror by the beds. We managed to sleep ok in one of the queen-sized beds (they didn't have any kings available). The bathroom had a separate roman tub, which was really nice, in addition to the clear glass-paneled standing shower. Plenty of counter space to place our toiletries, and the closet space was solid. Being that we were there for three nights at least, we were able to spread out in the room. The desk area was really good to do work, while the front cocktail/snack bar area allowed us to place our drinks and other snacks with a refrigerator below for cold beverages and leftovers. There is an adult only pool in addition to the large pool with the tropical island motif water slide for the kids to play on. The main pool area is really nice and had a nice design with a walk-in entrance on the north side. I was bummed that the hot tub in the adult only area was under repair for our trip. I really had wanted to go in that. A good feature for the pool area is that there is an elevator that will take you up to the third floor where the fitness center is located as well as the rooms, bypassing the lobby altogether. The pricing for food and beverages was high but more hotel-price high than just palm beach high. Still, it was expensive for the breakfast buffet when it was the standard fare such as scrambled eggs and bacon. For more than $30, I only did it once. After which I just went to the coffee bar that had cold brew. The main bar was jammed packed due to the conference being held that my wife was attending. The bartenders did the best they could but I felt the hotel could have prepared better for having more bartenders and barbacks during those peak hours. The drinks and food we ordered one night were satisfying but felt it was a little more than what we could have paid. While the amenities such as the spa looked alluring, I wasn't sold on spending between $150 and $200 on a 60-minute massage. A lot of the options felt more out of price range than what I could have spent elsewhere. Despite the pricing concerns, the resort is really nice and the cart shuttles that take you on the boardwalk to the beach is fantastic. There is a cafe by the beach when you arrive where you can order hot dogs, burgers, and sandwiches as well as ice cream and cold drinks. They also have alcoholic beverages if you are inclined. And the ocean views are fantastic.

From the moment you arrive, until you leave you get exactly what you hoped for from Four Seasons. Service the is beyond normal expectation, a staff that wants to make your day better, and a location that makes the days go by way to fast. This place has a local vibe that is unique. And really relaxing and peaceful. I look to Four Seasons to help me unwind from a busy schedule and day to day interruptions. I find that really exists at Naples. The sand is white, and the ocean is right at your feet. The sunset is unobstructed from the deck off our room, and from our bed. Really cool. There was cheering from the bar patrons when the suns last light fell behind the ocean. It was beautiful. The pastry chef makes the best cinnamon rolls at brunch. Staff is always within reach, and the manager was present throughout our stay. They have opened a nice coffee shop cafe on premise that is really convenient and the coffee is excellent. My Grandkids loved the Naples zoo, it's small but good. Has a fun boat ride. And the Revs auto museum Was awesome, including race ready cars from multiple decades. If you like high end race cars don't miss it. If you enjoy Four Seasons, you will love the Naples resort

We were sat on a high top table after we said we had 3 small kids. I asked if the high chair was as high as the table and we were told yes. To my surprise when the high chair came it was the height of a regular chair to which my toddler kept sliding off. We ordered the kids food first so it would come out "quicker". The food took about 45 mins to an hour to come. When I mentioned I had a shellfish allergy I was told I could not eat their French fries, I could not have anything that was fried since it was all with the same oil. I ordered the burger on their menu which after waiting for my food I was told I could also not have that. I ended up eating a regular cheese burger. We said we wouldn't return, but at dinner time there are apparently 5 restaurants at the resort. Some don't allow children, another requires a dress code, so in reality you have 3 restaurants to choose from. We returned to Quinn's for dinner, where we waited an hour for our food after ordering. We were told the kitchen was backed up, but the restaurant was not full and mind you there are 5 other restaurants on property. When our food arrived, the ceviche that was ordered was completely dry. To be honest the food was below average. I'd recommend anyone staying here to eat OUTSIDE the hotel. We also tried the other restaurant the Polynesian one. The food was average, it also took a very long time. On the third evening we dinned outside of the hotel and the service was much better. The services from the waiters was fine however the kitchen needs to improve. The breakfast restaurant with the buffet is designed so you pay the high price of $44 for a buffet. We ordered something from the regular menu because some people weren't going to eat enough to make the $44 worth it. The food took so long, it's almost as if they do it on purpose so you're more likely to choose the buffet, pay extra to get your food immediately. Mind you, some of the things ordered were waffles, which were available on the buffet side immediately made. For the $600-$1000 that this hotel costs a night. I do not find the service and attention worth it. The rooms need upgrades, staff takes a long time to answer the phone, however when you call from and outside line, they answer immediately. You're better off staying at the Hilton, and paying less.

Someone else noted on here that they always open the lobby doors for you, which is a nice touch. They also offered me a bottle of water or champagne, I believe it was, upon check-in, I did see the champagne and figured it was for people with status, but I guess not! -Lovely rooms with lots of space, I received one with two queen beds, even though I was just by myself. I also had a partial view of the pool. I ended up going to a lot of the rooms this trip because that's where my meetings were, and one of them had a really nice pool view and sitting area so that must've been a suite. -Pretty nice pool area. I walked around it my first night here and I finally got to use it on my third night. Do note that the lazy river area and waterslides all close at 6 PM, which made it difficult as my meetings usually went until five or 6 PM. There are maybe 5 pools including an adults pool (ages 17+). -Meeting spaces were all very nice but kinda spread apart ... a bit of a walk sometimes. CONS: -The shower in my room had very weak water pressure, I think because the knob that you turned to get it from bath to shower was not functioning correctly. (however: the bath tub was very nice ... one picky thing, though, the shampoo and conditioner and body wash are mounted on the wall so that's really difficult to use if you're taking a bath...) -You definitely need a car to get around (or Uber). I did DoorDash 2 of the 3 nights because of this. -On my last night doing DoorDash, the restaurant I ordered from didn't give me any utensils. I called the hotel restaurant to see if they could bring me some, and they said yes, but never did ... rather disappointing. This property was probably 4.5/5 from me so I'm rounding up to a 5, and I'd definitely stay here again. I'm pretty sure our conference rate was really reasonable as well, I believe it was $179 per night before taxes.

They were so respectful of the guests and kept our tables immaculately cleared. Access to the island by boat was a surprise and thoroughly enjoyable. Plus, the captain and boat crew were focused on ensuring patrons had a positive experience by slowing for bird and dolphin sightings and their willingness to take family pictures. In addition, our room was incredible with three balconies and two amazing views. The gym was also nice; all the machines were clean and working, plus it was well equipped. For such a fancy hotel, I was quite surprised there was nowhere to find water. I expected a fruity water station somewhere near the entry, a standard in high-end hotels today. I was also surprised the concierge could not provide a running map. Even with the local construction, the path right out the front door is nice and separated from traffic. I found the run to Target (for a cool coffee drink) was perfect for a 5-miler. Surely the 10-mile option would include even more treats. Having the front doors opened every time anyone approached the front of the hotel was a nice touch.

The complimentary breakfast was "ok" nothing spectacular, but still decent. The guy who collected the towels by the pool (seemed like a manager/lead) was rude every single day - to the point we waited to take our towels back a few times to avoid another interaction. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I wanted a quick getaway to clear our heads and reset, and we found this spot down in…read moreFt. Myers that ended up being even better than we expected. The entire area was clean, right on the beach, and the staff was friendly everywhere we went. The resort offers a ton of amenities: free kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, lounge chairs, and umbrellas. They also have paid options like fishing charters and other nearby excursions. There are three pools total -- two family pools and one adults‑only pool -- plus a couple of hot tubs. Our room was amazing. We were on the first floor with a perfect view of the beach. The adults‑only pool was right in front of our balcony, so we could relax, listen to the music, or join the trivia games happening throughout the day. The room itself was spacious and included a kitchenette with a stove, which made it easy to cook if we wanted to. You can stay busy here or do absolutely nothing -- we chose the "chill" route. There are two restaurants and a bar on the property, but if you want more options, you can walk about 15-30 minutes (rough estimate) or drive 2 mins (fyi paid parking) to the main strip with plenty of shops and restaurants. The front desk also told us about a trolley that runs for $0.75 each way or $2.00 for an all‑day pass. Everything was close by, we didn't get in our car until it was time to head home. We'll definitely be coming back. It's a little on the pricier side, but with everything included -- and probably more that I'm forgetting -- it's absolutely worth it.
