Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club

Unfortunately, Covid 19 hit during our stay and the beaches and restaurants were closed. It was a lot of money to be paid for a vacation that really was altered. It would have been nice if they compensated you in some way, but I know most of it was out of their control.

The night was a little breezy but with great attention from the manager and waiter who made sure we had heating elements nearby we enjoyed a beautiful sunset dinner. I had the Scallops and my husband had the Black Grouper (not blackened) rarely seen on menus. The food was delicious and the service expert. There was a wedding going on at the same time and it did not effect our enjoyment of the evening. We highly recommend Naples Beach and Golf Resort

Every year when we are in Naples this is our favorite place to enjoy lunch with an ocean view. I love the crab cakes and Sangria. We also tried out the spa this year, excellent facial. Not as luxurious as other spas but well maintained. Considered renting beach chairs ( will rent to non-guests of the hotel) but it was too windy that day to enjoy laying out. Huge bonus is there is complimentary valet parking if you are going to the restaurant or spa.

The Naples Beach Hotel is in an enviable setting on a beautiful beach and within walking distance of both Old Naples entertainment districts. The pools overlook the beach and management has the wisdom to realize that pool goers would rather hear the ocean waves and birds in the trees than the loud music found at most resort hotels. The live music at the poolside restaurant begins no earlier than cocktail hour and ends promptly at 8:30 which is much appreciated. The quaint mid-century buildings should live up to the setting and the price. But they don’t. I stayed in the low rise Florida building which I would advise against. The rooms are dirty with mold on the shower door and dirt and grime on the light switches. Yuck. The queen beds seem to be made up with twin or full size mattress pads creating an uncomfortable ridge six inches from each side of the bed. And the cheap lumpy little pillows were so terrible that I went out and bought a pillow! There is no full height mirror anywhere in the room. The room i stayed in was huge but seemed to be furnished with random pieces of castoff furniture with only one small chair and a tiny desk. There are windows facing both sides of the room which should enable guests to enjoy refreshing ocean breezes. But no. The windows on one side do not open at all and on the other the window screens have holes in them but since the windows only open a few inches they are useless anyway. For almost $500 a night this hotel was a terrible disappointment.

This is our fourth trip here. I hear it will no longer be here after next year when new ownership will take over and build a new hotel. Makes me feel a bit sad. This place is a bit of a blast from the past regarding hotels and resorts. I love it. It has character and the grounds are beautiful. The landscaping is impeccable. The rooms are dated but comfortable, clean, spacious and I love them. Food is really good and the casual, comfortable views of the beach and gulf make this place unique.
