The Ritz-Carlton, Naples
Here is a little recap of our amazing stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Naples. Check out my instagram for more photos and videos from our trip!
When you think of resorts, I am sure the Ritz-Carlton comes to mind. The dedication to making each guest feel as if they were the only ones in the building is a craft they have mastered. Yet, just when you thought it could not get any better….they prove you wrong!
The Ritz Carlton, Naples resort greets you with the warm South Florida sun. Lying along the Gulf with 474 rooms, 2 pool areas family or Adult, world class spa and North America’s LARGEST Club Lounge of any Resort. You will be transported to vacation mode as soon as you are greeted at valet.
We arrived to the Ritz around noon, we were taken to the Club Lounge for our check-in. The Club has two large doors with card key only access. You are greeted by a private concierge who will make sure everything you want or need is hopefully provided. The club lounge will have 5 separate food services, breakfast, lunch, mid day, dinner, night cap. The full complementary bar is from 4-10pm. The food is meant to be light and delicious, wait till you see our pictures!
Once we were settled in our room with everything put away and Storm had his nap, we headed down to look around the resort. We landed by the beach for an early dinner at Gumbo Limbo. This completely open building was made for endless views of the ocean. The food was incredible, we started with chips and salsa. We shared braised pork tacos and each got our own meal of chicken and grouper tacos. Storm tried to eat the napkins, plate, chair and table. The service and view made our meal that much better.
After Dinner we walked around the beach and sat by the pool. Before calling it a night, we stopped and had a night cap with some Asian inspired finger food at the lounge. We loaded up on snacks and drinks from the 24/7 part of the lounge.
The next morning started around 5:37am according to Storm and his great night sleep in his fancy resort crib.
The club was available with a full coffee machine and light snacks, before fully opening at 7am. We sat outside on our balcony and enjoyed the early morning. After we got ready and lounged around the room, we headed back down to the lounge for breakfast at 7am. The spread was amazing and delicious, we both enjoyed the omelette/french toast station. The staff helped entertain and play with Storm while we ate and relaxed.
Once breakfast was done we headed to the family pool. We had a spot right next to the kiddo pool and larger pool. There was a chest full of floats and toys for kids to play with, we found an infant float that was just right for Storm. The weather held off until noon, which worked for us to get some lunch and rest.
When the rain was done, we headed down to the beach to grab a drink at the Sand Bar. They have a full staff at each pool and on the beach ready to cater to anything you need. Chairs will be set up for you upon request at both pool and beach by an attendant, they are professional and customer service driven.
After some rest in the room from the sun, we headed down to dinner at Nolita. The food was incredible, Italian is our favorite. We were shocked with how good the Calamari was, presentation and taste. After dinner we headed to the lounge for a night cap and fresh baked cookie.
We had the best time, thank you The Ritz-Carlton, Naples for hosting us!!
