Laplaya Beach And Golf Resort

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Oct 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall, Laplaya is a nice hotel. I was disappointed by the need to pay for things that should have been gratis. The room wasn't equipped with a coffee machine, forcing early-rising guests to dress and trek to the lobby. The exercise equipment needs to be updated.

Positives: The oceanfront balcony was spacious and well-apportioned.

Negatives: The bathroom was not cleaned well and the design (counter tops) wasn't user-friendly.

This hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer and enjoyed more of the amenities. My husband owns a hospitality mystery shopping business and if we were shopping this hotel it would have received our highest marks. We have stayed in many beautiful hotels and this is among the best!

Positives: The cleanliness, attention to detail and decor.

Negatives: That gift shop was extremely expensive.

Stay at this hidden gem for the weekend. My wife and I had a fantastic time. We golfed one day and we fished the next. The gulf course was very nice though my balls spent more time in water and sand than in grass. The fishing was spectacular. My wife and I ate a few time at the Tiki bar and one night at Baleen the hotels restaurant. The Tiki food was very good and was served correctly and promptly by the Tiki staff. Baleen had a great view and food but was a little pricier than we are use to. Overall I would definitely recommend the La Playa to anyone who loves the beach, food, fishing or golf.

Positives: I liked all the activities they offer that are close by.

Negatives: I wish I could have stayed longer.

Beautiful,clean hotel with a great staff that knew us by name. Restaurant very good, very expensive. Extra fee of $20 valet and $17 beach chairs per day would have killed us if we had not got the room for so cheap. A lot of tipping but service was worth it and more. I would love to return again at the right price.

Positives: All the staff friendly and efficient. Beds were very comfortable. Good size nicely decorated room. Grounds and beach beautiful.

Negatives: We were across the street and there wasn't any security to enter building or elevators. No exhaust fan in the bathroom.

This hotel is the place to stay if you ever go to Naples Florida! We absolutely loved it! The staff go out of their way to see that you enjoy yourself and feel very comfortable. Every thing about the place was so clean and well kept. I hope to visit Naples again, and if so, there is no question about it, I will definitely stay at this hotel.

Positives: It was clean beautiful, clean and the staff could not be beat, they were wonderful!

Negatives: None.

The concierge was rude and not helpful. They charge extra for everything under the sun. The food is very expensive and terrible. I really loved their pool and beach. Their room was beautiful.

Positives: Beach location. Beautiful rooms.

Negatives: The concierge service. Parking, extra charges. Location of rooms across the street not handicap friendly place.

Overall it was a great experience. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Positives: Beautiful layout, on the beach, friendly staff.

Negatives: Housekeeping knocked on our door even when we had the sign on the door to not come in.

I found La Playa to be a wonderful hotel. The staff and facilities were great and with the location on Vanderbilt Beach, it couldn't have been nicer. Baleens is the restaurant in the hotel. Great food, service, atmosphere.

Positives: Great location, great service.

Negatives: Be careful of resort fees and parking fees. Resort fees did include towels, chairs, etc.

The best night in a hotel in a long time; even better that the R C next door last year.

Positives: Location, romance.

Negatives: We couldnt stay longer.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 22 Mar 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

Great location but rooms in need of upgrading (especially the utilities). Plumbing backuped up and lights constantly flitter (dim, and then brighten). Resort and parking fees excessive.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Poor plumbing and electricity service in room (lights dimmed).

This is a great hotel if you want to get away. Park the car and do nothing. Room I had was spacious and very nice for the business traveler. Not having convenient access to your car is annoying at best. Also internet kept going down so much it wasnt even useful.

Positives: Room was great, spacious.

Negatives: Valet parking only. $17 resort fee, $20 parking per day.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 12 Mar 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I would definitely recommend this service and this hotel to others.

Positives: The room, the people, the service, the location.

Negatives: I liked everything.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 08 Mar 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Would highly recommend. A first class resort.

Positives: Classy and high quality across the board.

Negatives: Hallways dimly lit and cold.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 03 Mar 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

We recommend highly. Room was great and large, all staff were very professional and extremely friendly. Beach was beautiful and our entire experience was extremely enjoyable. The hotel made every effort to ensure we had a wonderful time. We have stayed in 5 star hotels throughout the world and we thought La Playa ranked as a 5 star.

Positives: Very accommodating and friendly staff eager to please and provide great service. Everyone greets you!

Negatives: Nothing.

Met my expectations and then some! Not as stuffy as more expensive resorts yet quality of service was as good if not better! Food at the rest. Could have been a little better! Can't wait to go back.

Positives: Great Ambiance! Service Outstanding! An Amazing getaway.

Negatives: Food could have been better!

The hotel was beautiful with nice big rooms, a beautiful beach, and a beautiful pool. The front desk service was ok. We arrived 2 hours earlier than the 4 PM check-in time and were told to hang around the lobby as they will be able to get us in to the room shortly. We waited 2 hours in the lobby and were given no updates. We finally got into our room at 4:15 and they did not apologize. Also, on several occasions we wanted to talk with the concierge and could not find him/her. Instead, the desk clerk offered to answer our questions and did not give us answers that met our needs.

Positives: Great location, nice rooms, beautiful beach and pool.

Negatives: Rooms need some upkeep, front desk service not great.

I was so pleased to be greeted by at least three valets upon arrival, who whisked my bags to my room in no time. My room was across the street from the main tower, so I was skeptical, but the room was huge, with 12 foot ceilings and lovely, comfortable furniture. The lanai was also furnished, with ceiling fan--great place to enjoy breakfast. Food at Baleen was wonderful but service (table for 1) was glacial. Room service breakfast was prompt, and I enjoyed it on the lanai overlooking the water.

Positives: Great experience with staff from the moment I arrived.

Negatives: Dining service was slow.

The hotel was very romantic. The rooms were ok, not as nice as I would have expected. Beach and Pool area were amazing. Restaurant was over priced but food was really good. Perfect for couples or families as long as you have a lot to spend. They said parking would be $20 extra and that there would be a resort fee, but didn't charge us. We were celebrating our anniversary and got a room with two queen beds, when we asked for a king they said they would have to charge $200 more. Overall if we had the extra money to spend we would go again and may even bring the kids.

Positives: On the beach, nice pool.

Negatives: Restaurant overpriced but good. Couldn't give us a king bed unless we paid $200 (we were celebrating our anniversary).

Relaxing beach location, lively pool, comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff, overpriced restaurant, recommends alternative dining experience. A popular place is 'Naples tomato'.

Positives: Location on the beach.

Negatives: The exhaustive tipping that every transaction seemed to warrant.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Feb 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Great rooms, actually liked rooms better on Vanderbilt Bay than on ocean, saw dolphins out window, nice balcony, and great pools; also resort on ocean, quaint, not a mega-resort.

Positives: Luxurious, great rooms, great location.

Negatives: Cost of Valet, no self parking.
