Dirty. 2 star Hotel Masquerading as A 5 Star. Place is dirty. Hotel is expensive. Avoid. Worst wedding ever. I am embarrassed for my family. Bar closes early. Even if you are there for a wedding. Rooms are old. Hotel is old. Place is old. Go elsewhere.

LaPlaya was truly paradise! The staff were so attentive and friendly and eager to assist with all our needs! The room was very spacious and very up to date! The only issue we had was the elevator noise (our room was right across the elevator) and the sliding door noise above us. We ate breakfast at Baleen one day and it was delicious! We also had dinner at Baleen and again it didn’t disappoint! Our server, Adriano, was amazing and made our sunset dinner experience extra special! Highly recommend the Blackened Grouper and Key Lime Pie for dessert !! We spent every day on the beach and all the beach attendants were amazing! So kind, attentive and thankful!! We also enjoyed the Tiki Bar and all the amazing sunsets!! We look forward to our return soon!! Read less

My boyfriend and I visited Naples for the first time for Easter. Our experience couldn't have been better thanks to the team members and experience at LaPlaya. Nikolas at the front desk was beyond gracious and remembered our names the full trip. We stayed in the newly renovated Beach House. I have never been in a hotel room so close to the beach! Some of the best sunsets I have seen. It was super clean and close proximity to the pool and lobby. A big thank you to Carlos and the whole team for being so hospitable. We will definitely be back with friends! Read less
