Naples Hotel Tips by TRimer

The Ritz-Carlton, Naples: Beach Resort with Wonderful Spa The Ritz-Carlton Naples Review

I have now stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Naples twice. Both times were wonderful and for business. The first time we stayed in a room with a gulf view on the club level- which meant we had access to wine and food all day. This is good because the food at the Ritz is not cheap (can we say $40 for 2 people to have lunch at the pool).

Unique Qualities: They are about to do a major renovation to the hotel to upgrade all the rooms. The rooms are nice but not spectacular. They all have balconies and most have great views. The soap in the bathrooms (spa products) are fantastic. The restaurants are wonderful. They will be upgrading the one bar too to have plasma televisions. The little shops around the hotel are nice. Be sure to try out the ice cream. Also, the pool shop sells big floats for the pool.
