Fodor's Expert Review The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club
851 Gulf Shore Blvd. N, Naples, Florida, 34102, USA
Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.
Family-owned and -managed since 1946, this art deco resort is a piece of Naples history—and its stretch of powdery sand has lots of action at all times. You can order drinks from the beach bar and sprawl out under an umbrella on one of the luxe chaise lounges. The multi-pool beachfront area also has two pools, one for adults only. The property is also known for its par-72, 18-hole championship golf course, the first resort course in this area of the state; it's the only beachfront hotel in Naples with an on-site course. Though housed in a 1970s Florida hotel shell, all rooms have been renovated, adding a fresh and elegant seaside appeal to the property's authenticity. Ask for a room in the original Florida Building for a taste of Old Florida charm.
