From the Field: Naples Grande Resort, Naples, Florida
The Naples Grande Resort Difference
When the
renowned Golden Door Spa decided to open its first spa on the
East Coast they chose the Naples Grande Resort as the location.
Now resort guests and the press have been glowing about their
spa treatments. One writer claimed it was the best facial she’s
ever had. Meanwhile Travel & Leisure Golf, Golf
Magazine and Golf Weekly have all named the Naples
Grande Golf Club to best lists.
The new
Strip House restaurant inspired one critic to write: “It
is now that I think of sensuality and the senses: sight, smell,
hearing, touch, and taste. Strip House hits them all from
seductive visual femininity to blasts of fragrance from the
plate; from sultry music to lush leather seating and velvet
walls; and ultimately to the simple pleasure of the food.”
Located
along the Gulf of Mexico in exclusive Naples, Florida, the
Resort (formerly The Registry Resort) offers platinum beaches,
an award-winning tennis complex, five swimming pools and the
acclaimed golf club and spa.
