My bedroom was great - beautiful, large, comfortable, quiet, good turndown service, balcony big enough to sit on & enjoy the gulf view. I think they claim all rooms have gulf view, but this is not a gulf-front hotel. Meeting rooms met our needs well. Congenial, efficient staff. "Cocomango" toiletries were good and contribute to the subtropical ambience. There's a quiet pool with lap lanes near the tennis complex.

Tram ride or nice walk on elevated boardwalk through mangroves to the public beach. No charge for chairs or towels for hotel guests - other than the $10 daily "resort fee". I didn't watch the sunset from this beach, but it was gorgeous from near the Naples Pier.

Food is terribly overpriced, but I grew up on the redneck part of the gulf coast so I was happier with the fried seafood at Grouper & Chips. There are several chain restaurants a short drive from the hotel.
