Naples hotels

If you’re looking for an all-encompassing resort experience at a Naples hotel with your family, with plenty to do onsite, around town and down on the beach, too, consider the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort.
I’ve stayed here a few times with my young kids, and there’s never a minute to be bored, between the property’s four swimming pools (including an adults-only one and the family-friendly tiki pool), chickee huts for lounging in the shade on the wide beach, onsite bowling alley and 12 restaurants.
Come sunset, I always grab a table set just back from the sand at the hotel’s best beachfront bar, Kane Tiki Bar & Grill, a must visit for sure while you are there. A fruity rum drink works magic for toasting the sun as it sinks into the Gulf of Mexico.

Casual beachfront sophistication on Vanderbilt Beach (one of Naples’ prettiest) is the name of the game when you plan a vacation at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort – a Noble House Resort. Pick your favorite hangout in the form of four pools with Gulf of Mexico views or the beach itself, where you can relax in the shade of a private cabana with a Beach Butler at the ready to deliver drinks and snacks.
My favorite spot at this property during a recent stay ended up being the balcony of my suite, where I’d relax with my morning coffee while watching dolphins slice the glassy waters below.
The hotel is known among bon vivants for its excellent spa as well as its stellar seafood restaurant, BALEEN, one of the best in Naples, a serious foodie town, for freshly caught fish served at tables lit by tiki lamps overlooking the sand.
