La Playa Beach & Golf Resort, a Noble House Resort

We have stayed at LaPlaya many times. We have found it a great place to have a "staycation". We were looking forward to a stay in a Lanai room, just steps from the beach. We were looking forward to see the room, since the entire building was rebuilt after the hurricane. Our view was disappointing. There were stack of chairs and dead trees for us to look at. The young chaise lounges on the beach were worn and did not look like they belongs at a luxury resort. The towels we were given for the beach were the thinest i have ever seen.

The hotel is situated on Vanderbilt Beach roughly 40 minutes south of the RSW airport and 20 minutes north of the shops and restaurants on 5th Avenue. It is in a quiet residential area (just up the street from the Ritz Carleton) and definitely requires a car to get around. The beach is beautiful and the beach attendants are excellent - shout out to Nick who was particularly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The beach set up includes lounge chairs, towels and umbrella and attendants will also deliver food and drinks from the on site Tiki Bar. Food choices are decent but grow tired if you’re there for a longer stay. Golf is not on site and there are no tennis or pickle ball courts. The pool is nice but has no ocean view. The sunsets are spectacular … and a constant draw for weddings and engagements which tend to impact the daily beach set up. The main restaurant attracts visitors from all over so reservations are recommended- particularly for the sunset timeframe. Rooms are spacious and comfortable but dated and in need of some maintenance to remedy mold spots, peeling paint, worn carpets, sagging mattresses and lumpy poly-fibre pillows. The sheets must be a polyester blend and are slippery and hot. Outdoor balcony furniture is plentiful but not comfortable and cushions are dirty and moldy. The bathroom has a single sink and a bathtub/shower combo. The bathtub is not very inviting. The staff are excellent throughout the resort - always friendly and attentive. Valet parking works seamlessly and is the only option. Check in and out was fast but note that they will strangely put a hold on your credit card for the full cost of the stay even if you already prepaid! All things considered, it can be a good value if the pricing is right. It has the potential to be a truly amazing resort and is a great option if you can overlook the issues.

LaPlaya is one of those places that just gets everything right. The rooms are gorgeous—beautifully designed, spotless, and genuinely luxurious—with views that stretch across the golf course and out toward the Gulf. It’s the kind of space you instantly relax into. BALEEN is the standout. Brunch on the terrace feels like a Naples postcard: sunshine, great food, and those open views of the fairway and water. And if you can catch a sunset dinner here, do it. The sky puts on a show and the whole experience feels special without trying too hard. Whether you’re staying the weekend or just popping in for a meal, LaPlaya delivers the kind of quality and atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and those unmistakable Naples views.

We stayed with our family and little kids (2,3 and 5 year old) at Le Playa Beach & Golf Resort for ten days in late September. The hotel is great if you want to stay on the beach and avoid the crowds (the territory and the hotel itself are not that big). We booked a beach house, which is the closest to the beach and a great option for families. There is also a Gulf Tower with great views of the gulf and direct access to the beach. The beach is amazing - very clean and if you love walking on the beach, there is an endless beachline. We would definitely recommend the hotel. The property is recently renovated, and the rooms are spacious and nice. The bathrooms are not big (they look more spacious in the pictures) but they are updated, and the bathroom amenities are great. The body lotion, shower gel, and shampoo – the scent and quality are very good. For those who like them and want to take home, you can also buy them in the hotel store. If you are staying in a beach house and are very sensitive to noise/sounds, I would recommend skipping the top floor, as there is a faint noise from the roof where some conditioning systems or other equipment is located. You would only hear it if you are very noise-sensitive, which I am. Many people praise the hotel staff in their reviews. This is 100% true. They make such a big difference! Starting with the reservations department and the very cheerful and helpful agent, Tanya – she was always friendly, professional, and ready to assist! The front desk team is the best – Nikolaus, Michael, Samantha - they are always there for you, very helpful, always smiling, and make you feel welcomed and want to come back! The Baleen restaurant is open all day and is very popular both among guests and locals; the food is always great! You can always find other restaurants in the area – a 10/15-minute walk away – or take a 30-minute ride to the city center with its great choice of restaurants. If you are travelling with kids – they do not have any kids' entertainment, but they do have a kids' pool and sell beach toys in the hotel store. There is also a very nice zoo about a 20-minute ride from the hotel. The next time we are back in Naples, we will definitely come back to stay here!

Room was amazing. Food was amazing.

Construction work and beach closed next to property.

I rarely write negative reviews, but to be honest this time our stay was a disappointment. This should serve as a warning to anyone considering making reservation in this expensive resort. First and foremost we were not notified ahead of time that there is a massive construction underway within the resort and on the beach. You can imagine our surprise when we received the following e-mail AFTER we made a non-refundable reservation: "The resort is currently undergoing storm prevention improvements in the areas surrounding the Beach House, Tiki Bar and pools. Access and services in these areas may be limited during this time. Additional prevention work is also being completed along the bayside of our resort." Why not to tell about it before people made the reservation or post it on the LaPlaya home page in red letters. If we knew what we know now, we would have definitely looked somewhere else. As a result our ocean front room was really a front row to a construction site with heavy trucks and bulldozers moving across the beach every few minutes within 10 feet of the sunbathing guests. The works starts around 8 am, so do not plan to sleep late. Resort is also changing the pavers around the pools with a stone cutting saws making such a noise that you can not use the balcony. Under the balcony you can see a lot of construction waste. The pools and buildings are fenced so you have to go around. There are some positives. The staff is doing an amazing job, very quick, friendly and treat you like VIPs. Thank you for that. Also the pools are nice. But AT THIS TIME (November 2025) the property itself does not leave up to high expectations. The parking fee of $44+ a day is higher than in Manhattan. The hot water is running out every day when people get back from the beach around 4PM, so you had to take a cold shower. The rooms don't have bottled water in the room, but a lot of useless bottles of alcohol, that had insane extra fees attached. We did not touch them. Rather we had to drive to a Publix supermarket and buy what we needed. You do not see this in the nice resort pictures but at this time and until they complete the construction (probably sometime in 2026) look somewhere else.

Todo excelente

Yes

I shopped in the gift shop at LaPlaya and the lovely lady named Kathy helped me with my purchases. She did a great job and really was a lot of help! Thank you!!
