LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort

This place surprised us in the best possible way. We went for Memorial weekend and expectations were low as the holiday weekend tends to be busy and chaotic in many Florida hotels, not here. We dropped off our car with valet and never felt the need to leave the resort until the day we checked out. The young man (sorry I can’t remember the name) at check in was extremely welcoming and attentive. We enjoyed the pool, the beach and the amazing restaurant every single day. My daughter loved the mermaid show and her favorite part of the trip was collecting seashells along the beach. Housekeeping was absolutely fantastic. The service at the restaurant was always outstanding. The staff taking care of the beach chairs and umbrellas were always very helpful. The team with the jet skis made our riding experience fantastic. Glad that Costco partners with this resort.

Always an amazing time! We had the chance to experience so much incredible sea life during our stay—right from the property! A huge thank you to all the staff for being so accommodating and truly making us feel like family. A special shoutout to: Billy, Mo, Daniela, Karriane, Nydia, Sanjuana, Michael, Clark, Wendell, Rob, Marley, Vinny, Yussef, Sam, Samantha, and Vinny (yes, twice—you really made an impression!). The entire staff and team you are all amazing and I hope you will continue on. Georgina, you will always be family to us :) Can’t wait to come back! <3

"An Anniversary to Remember at LaPlaya Beach Resort – Where You're Treated Like a Star" Last week, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary at La Playa Beach & Golf Resort in beautiful Naples, Florida. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like celebrities. It all began with Wenderson Annorat, the assistant front-office manager, whose radiant smile and cheerful greeting immediately set the tone for a warm atmosphere of hospitality. His calm professionalism and genuine delight in welcoming us created the feeling that our stay truly mattered. Wenderson didn't stop at the desk; he proactively offered restaurant suggestions tailored to our tastes and even followed up later with a phone call to ensure our room and dinner arrangements were just right. We took Wendeon's recommendation and ate at Baleen. Naples is known for its excellent restaurants, and our meal at Baleen was truly exceptional. The Property We booked an ocean-front room with an oversized balcony and views of the Gulf that left us speechless. The tastefully decorated room and thoughtful attention are hallmarks of La Playa's service. Set against the Gulf's turquoise waters, the resort blends upscale elegance with a laid‑back, coastal vibe. Our room boasted sweeping ocean views, plush linens, and thoughtful amenities, fluffy bathrobes, a well‑stocked minibar, and a Jacuzzi tub that elevated the experience. Dining Destinations Thanks to Wenderson's tip, we savored dinner at the Baleen, the resort's signature beachfront restaurant. What a treat the menu was! Every dish seemed to sing with the taste of fresh, locally caught seafood and exotic tropical notes, all paired with cocktails that were works of art. The staff welcomed us like we were old friends, making the whole experience feel wonderfully intimate. We also ate breakfast at Baleen. A nice touch is the toasted sourdough bread that we had with our meal. Service That Shines Personal touches abounded: seamless check-in and check-out. Everywhere we went, team members, including the valets, beamed with warm greetings, indicating a culture that truly invests in the guest experience. Moments That Sparkle One evening, we found a chilled bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a handwritten note waiting in our room, a surprise arranged by the front desk team to commemorate our anniversary. Paired with the sound of ocean waves just steps away from our balcony, it was a moment of pure romantic magic. Final Verdict: LaPlaya Beach Resort is not just a place to stay; it's a place to be celebrated, with breathtaking beachfront views, refined dining, and impeccable service led by Gregg Harper, the resort's general manager. Gregg and his team deliver an elevated, boutique‑style escape. For anniversaries, milestone celebrations, or anyone craving the red‑carpet treatment, La Playa is the place. We left feeling like VIPs, with memories that will brighten our future.

On our 5 day stay… Claude helped up with our bags and was very kind. Samantha helped us check-in and was very sweet and helpful. Pierre helped us clean some broken glass we found in our room and was very kind, he kept checking and re-checking the floor and made sure the floor was spotless. You can tell he does what he does with love. Samantha our server at the beach was very kind as well and was being so cute with our baby. Aaron helped us check out and was very helpful. Wenderson was the manager that helped us when we found broken glass on the floor of our room. - he offered to move us to another room (but I denied because I had already fully unpacked), so he offered us free breakfast at Baleen downstairs - which was amazing. Very accommodating and kind. I’ve been on many vacations and I’ve never been so relaxed. The beach is the best part - and the way the gentlemen working there set up chairs/umbrellas/ towels for you. Very convenient. Same at the pool. All the staff there were amazing. I would definitely go again!

La Playa Beach & Golf Resort Review The La Playa Beach & Golf Resort is our very own slice of paradise! We first visited 20 years ago this year on our honeymoon! So of course it has always held a special place in our hearts. Last week we returned with our teenagers in tow and it was as if we had never been away! We were treated like royalty from the offset. From Michael’s warm and friendly welcome on the front desk to Claude’s the concierge’s fun and efficient demeanour, the La Playa team were effortlessly synchronised. Be sure to ask for the supremely talented Vinny at the Tiki bar, who is a whizz with a cocktail and kudos to the chef as we have never tasted bar food like it on all our travels! Marley is the super composed face of the tiki bar and manages to look after the beach and pool area with effortless swanlike grace! Highly recommend talking to lovely Chris about hiring a cabana for the day. Sheer luxury which will see you pampered whilst enjoying the privacy of the stunning swimming pools and jacuzzi! Our rooms were pristine, opulent and availed of unrivalled views of Vanderbilt Bay. On that note the La Playa has the best frontage on the beach and we even witnessed a dolphin swimming past whilst we ate breakfast in the revered Baleen restaurant! I must mention Wenderson who oversaw our check-out. He personally ensured that our experience ended in the way that it had began. His natural warmth is infectious. A genuine ambassador for the resort! During our stay we were most fortunate to meet the charismatic gent that orchestrates everything at the La Playa in GM, Gregg Harper. Gregg, we want to personally thank you and your talented team for helping us to create lifelong family memories!
