A Visit to Naples Grande Beach Resort

Naples Grande Beach Resort is a stunning hotel and resort offering everything you could want in a vacation. As it’s under two hours from our house, my husband and I headed down to Naples for a short getaway at the Naples Grand Beach Resort.

Just a bit south of us on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples has everything you could want. Gorgeous beaches, amazing shopping, and restaurants that make this foodie girl swoon.

In fact, right after our arrival, we decided to relax in our room with a glass of Prosecco and a snack from the kitchen at the Naples Grande.

I was already in heaven! I have to remember to get the recipe for the chutney they served with that platter. It was fantastic.

Our room was lovely and so comfortable. The bedding was luxurious, and I really wanted to steal the pillows. (Kidding, of course, but they were so nice!)

You’ve probably heard me say it before, but I love nice toiletries, and the Naples Grande has Bath & Body Works products in the bathroom. Love.

Our room had a large desk for getting a little work done, and a Keurig for morning java. I’m grateful for that! The coffee shop downstairs has pastries and muffins, too. We also had a small fridge for leftovers and water.

We decided to stay in the hotel for dinner, but unfortunately, the main restaurant was closed that night. We were so disappointed as the menu looked so good, but we had a nice time in the Lobby Lounge sharing appetizers.

The appetizers were outstanding! A couple of drinks and good food, and we were ready to call it a night. With so many things to do in Naples Florida, we wanted to get an early start.

Visit the Beach

The nature walkway is a nice 6/10 of a mile walk, but there is also an open-air tram ride.

Down at the beach, we found a little restaurant that served sandwiches and appetizers. We shared a Greek platter of hummus and a beer before walking down a short ramp to the beach. It was a glorious sunny day at Naples Grande Beach Resort.

There are stools out on the boardwalk area where most people brought their food to eat. There was also a nice beach bar.

But don’t get the idea that the area is just for adults. We saw a lot of families, and down on the beach, the kids will find buckets and shovels to build their sandcastles.

The sand is powdery and white, and soft on your feet. If you stay long enough to see the sunset, you’ll be in for a treat. There’s nothing like a sunset on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Here’s where I might suggest the tram for the ride back. As gorgeous as the views are, at different times of the year, the mosquitoes can be annoying.

I ended up with a few bites, but the view was worth it when we walked back to the hotel.

The Naples Grande Beach Resort is located at 475 Seagate Drive. I’ve only touched on all the amenities. With three pools, a fitness center, a nature walk, the beach, six restaurants, a coffee bar, and in-room dining, you may not want to leave.

If you do get the itch to go off property, downtown Naples is a fun area to take a walk, do some shopping, and stop for a bite at one of the many restaurants. We enjoyed our weekend away and can’t wait to go back with our girls.
