This hotel is extremely dated, the rooms are super beat up. Yet their rates are ridiculously high for the value you get. My shower didn’t originally work although it was later repaired. There was an elevator that was inoperable the time I was there. Do not spend your hard earned money at this place. It certainly is NOT a resort.

I met my masseuse Fernando, whom was very professional and made me feel comfortable. Fernando has magic hands! He was very thoughtful about amount of pressure and did a really great job of getting the knots out of my back! I highly recommend this clean, professional spa when visiting Naples! Read less

Me and my wife returned to La Playa in late December after an amazing experience in June. Though “chilly” for Naples, the hospitality was as warm as can be.

Me and my wife returned to La Playa in late December after an amazing experience in June. Though “chilly” for Naples, the hospitality was as warm as can be. I had a chance to chat with Claude, Ken and even had time to catch up with Carlos, the general manager. I commended him on how wonderful the resort looked in light of the recent storms. Even the areas under construction were kept incredibly tidy. Our room, once again, was incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean. I’ve recommended La Playa to many friends, to stay or to visit Baleen. We will back again soon! Read less
