Character and identity
LaPlaya is a 189-room beachfront resort on the Gulf in Naples, with a relaxed, "classic Florida" register: coconut palms, tiki torches, and a fire pit ringed by Adirondack chairs across impeccably kept grounds. The signature restaurant, Baleen, sets tables indoors or out by the water for Gulf Coast cooking. A sleek spa, a poolside tiki bar, and the Bob Cupp-designed golf course (held up by serious players as among Florida's best) round out the offer. Service is attentive and accommodating, with the easy elegance of a long-established Florida beach property rather than a glossy new build.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and golfers who want a polished but unfussy Gulf Coast stay, with sunsets from a private balcony, dinner by the ocean, and an afternoon switch between sand, pool, and tiki bar. Multi-generational families looking for a calm beach base with good food and a serious golf course will also feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers chasing a sharp, design-forward urban hotel, a buzzy scene, or the maximalist resort programming of a larger flag will find this too low-key. If you want avant-garde dining or a deep roster of restaurants and bars on property, look further afield.
Bottom line
The draw here is the combination of a genuinely top-tier golf course, beachfront dining at Baleen, and that uncomplicated Old Florida atmosphere, all delivered with warm, capable service. Book a Gulf Tower room with a balcony for the sunsets, bring a golf bag, and aim for the shoulder seasons when Naples is calmer and rates ease.
