Review
Ritz-Carlton’s flagship property, this newly renovated (reopened July 2023) Naples resort rests on a wide and tranquil stretch of beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The extravagant lobby and its Champagne bar are both flooded with natural light from floor to ceiling windows. Expansive grounds are beautifully manicured and maintained to create a refined tropical oasis. Spacious guest rooms and suites have been renovated and modernized, offering sleek furnishings and marble bathrooms (many have ocean views). The Ritz-Carlton Club Level—a 2023 addition—provides club-level guests a plethora of extra perks, including a separate check in/out desk with concierge, a staffed full bar and a dining room featuring five daily culinary presentations.
The resort fronts a powdery white sand beach, accessible through a leaf-shaded wooden walkway. There is also a large spa (with a steam room, multiple saunas, aqua lounges, and an outdoor mineral pool) as well as separate pools for families and adults, tennis courts and a golf course at the sister Ritz Carlton Naples Golf Resort.
There are four restaurants on property: Gumbo Limbo, an oceanside grill with Floridian fare and sunset views; Dusk, an Asian fusion restaurant with sushi and inventive cocktails, the upscale steakhouse The Grill; and Sofra, with its welcoming environment and delicious Mediterranean dishes.
Who Should Stay
Families and couples looking for a relaxing getaway at a full-service luxury resort right on the beach.
