Summary: One of the top resorts in the country. La Playa is manifestation of taste. From the moment you arrive to the valet parking, to the sunset walks and views on the white sand beach, to the championship golf, you just may be convinced that this is the very best resort package in Southern Florida. A full spa, three swimming pools, a private beach, inside and outside dinging and elegant rooms set the stage, but it is the comfort that you will remember. The chef is ridiculous and the dining is remarkable with pampering service at every turn. The golf course has recently received a major facelift and is known in the golfing circles of Naples as an extreme turnaround. We love how they've moved a lot of earth to create swells and lift bunkers, as well as the millions of dollars La Playa has spent on landscaping. In any direction, you will see color and flowers, and manicuring is detailed to the "T". Although the course has consistent bunkering and plenty of water hazards, it won't dismantle your pride and leaves a little room for outs. Turf conditions definitely add to the flavor of play and greens roll ideally. Not a spot for the budget-minded, but if you are looking for an escape, ESPECIALLY A ROMANTIC GETAWAY, this gem is a great experience.
