I am also curious about La Playa Beach and its housekeeping procedures.

I just read the note re housekeeping coming every other day to my hotel GM husband--we both got a chuckle out of it! I can't imagine anyone pulling this off--condo rentals yes, but not hotels. Some environmentally conscious hotels give you the option of having your towels changed only every other day IF you agree to that, but I've never heard of housekeeping coming only every other day. Are you certain they weren't just referring to towels Rick?<BR><BR>We were staying in a new hotel in my husband's chain in Bonita Springs this week and drove past LaPlaya after a marathon shopping day in Naples. It has a really nice location. Both the Registry and the Ritz, the two upper tier hotels in the area are set back from the beach and separated from it by boardwalks and mangroves. For someone looking to stay right on the beach, this looks to be a good alternative. Hopefully someone here plannning a stay will clarify this housekeeping issue!

ttt please

Up to the top one more time.

Ok, my better half thinks the note said that it is towels that will be changed every other day. It did say towels left on the floor will be changed everyday. Linens should be changed everyday! We only stayed one night... Sorry!!<BR><BR>Hopefully more people who will be going can note and then post more on housekeeping issues

Rick, Thanks so much for the info. Anybody else have anything else to share about La Playa?

Yes, i posted some detailed replies about the rooms at La Playa under a post called 'Naples hotel info' and it's currently dated 6/29 so you should be able to find it pretty easily. I'm still trying to resuscitate my scanner so I can post some of the photos I took. My real email address is in there, too.

I certainly din't mean to cause an uproar with my notes re lack of housekeeping. The grounds, pools and common areas are very clean, well landscaped and very attractive. The food is fabulous as well. I just thought that it was strange to only have housekeepiong so few times. I would stay there again but I should have asked the management what the deal was with housekeeping.

I am considering a vacation package that includes La Playa the weekend after Christmas. Options are beachview or 'Run of the House'. Do you think it is necessary to lock in a beachview for $200 extra, or are all the rooms nice? Any advice would help. Thanks!

Jane, all the rooms in themselves are nice. They're furnished beautifully and have the nicest amenities. It depends on how important a view is to you. If you're facing the front of the hotel, not the beach, your view will probably consist of the high-rise across the street.

Is it a nice, safe place for older kids? I may be leaving the kids alone at the hotel for a while during a meeting. <BR><BR>Did you get a open spacious feel or dark hallways?

Ab,<BR>The hotel is light and airy. The hallways in the tower are open to the outside so they are not dark at all.<BR><BR>I felt it is safe to leave teenagers for awhile if they are well behaved and won't wonder off and get into trouble. Aside from the beach and pool, there is not much else to do for teenagers (no gamerooms or anything like that)<BR><BR>You might call the hotel and ask what they think about it.<BR><BR>Rick

thanks for the reply. I don't want to ask the hotel, since I don't want anyone to know they'll be alone.<BR>

Do they have waterfalls in their swimming pool?

Why the obsession with waterfalls!!?? Call them and ask!

Sue,<BR>Yes the pool had waterfalls. <BR>
