Who it’s NOT for: Value travelers — a top-tier Ritz-Carlton beach resort at peak Naples rates, especially in winter. Travelers wanting an intimate boutique or a walkable Old Naples town base — this is a large (~474-room) beachfront resort on Vanderbilt Beach (North Naples), a drive from Fifth Avenue / Third Street. Anyone who wants golf on-property — the beach flagship is not the golf resort; its sister Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón is the golf campus (guests can typically access it, but confirm). Guests seeking historic character — the appeal here is a freshly renovated modern-luxe resort, not period charm.
Biggest surprise: the renovation is a genuine reinvention — the new Vanderbilt Tower, Club Lounge, redesigned rooms, and new pools/dining reset the property to a current-luxe standard rather than a tired legacy resort.
Worth the money? yes for a beach-luxe couple or celebration group wanting a polished, full-service Gulf-front Ritz with a Club Level tier.
Best room: a Vanderbilt Tower Club Level room/suite — the new 14-story tower is built for Club-Level guests with a ~4,000 sq ft Club Lounge; Gulf-front is the view to request. FACT (trade): all ~474 rooms/suites were redesigned and many converted to larger suites with living rooms and five-fixture baths. Confirm the exact premier suite + current Club Level access on the official site before naming a single best room.
