My husband and I were in Naples (business trip) and we enjoyed a truly wonderful extended stay at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort. The warm sunshine, earth grounding walks on the beautiful white sand of Vanderbilt Beach, and stunning sunsets from our hotel room balcony or Baleen restaurant were absolutely memorable. I brought my yoga mat with me and my daily workouts with the view of the ocean and swaying palm trees were extra joyful. (There are regular beach yoga classes held on the resort’s Gulf lawn.) However, what was truly exceptional to me were the very kind and gracious LaPlaya Team members who welcome guests with genuine hospitality. It was a delight to get to know some of these team members over our stay, and observe the many ways they anticipate guest needs and excel at service. We received a lovely warm welcome on arrival, as well as the many times I stopped by the front desk to retrieve a package delivery. A very special thank you to Ken, director of front office, Wenderson, and Nikolaus. And to the always smiling Bellman Cornell who exudes light and happiness, and did you know he is a published author? I also want to thank Yulie, director of housekeeping, and her hardworking team, especially Ditti, who made sure our room was sparkling clean with fresh linens and towels every week. I think my husband and I worked our way through most of the Baleen Restaurant menu. Thank you to Baleen restaurant general manager, Georgiana, and special shoutouts to servers Anne, Christopher, Baris, Vasi and Marius. I was royally pampered at SpaTerre (temporarily located in the Bay Tower) and what a delight to meet Teresa, director of spa and wellness, and nail esthetician extraordinaire Daymi - thank you for the best mani-pedi service! There is an excellent retail boutique at LaPlaya, as well as pop-up trunk shows set up in the lobby for guest shopping. Sales associate, Susan, is very personable and makes shopping for gifts a fun and pleasant experience. Regional retail manager, Allyson, is the curator behind this terrific selection of clothing, jewelry and unique gifts as well as orchestrating these dynamite trunk shows. So many more people to thank: concierge Diane, Edward in engineering, and Aleida who greets every employee with a smile and kindness in the employee cafeteria. Terry, Lisa, and Zee in human resources, Youssef and Sandy, club operations and membership, Rob and Liam and their energetic recreation team, and many more associates who were happy to assist us and made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. Thank you to everyone. What a Team! Read less

Breathtaking views, and a gorgeous room! Loved the food and the layout. Well kept property. Nice beach with plenty of fairly flat sand to run on. Sandbars make it easy to swim and play in the water. Claude was especially attentive to our needs and questions… he was very knowledgeable about the property and things to do in the area.

Played golf at the LaPlaya and the course was in terrific shape. The team in the restaurant is fantastic - kudos to Alba, Susan, Tyler, Karen, Danielle, Dan, Conrad, Joanne and Chef! Highly recommend playing the course and then having lunch and beverages after!
