Towering palm trees, tropical plants and flowers, and a winding lagoon earmark the Naples Grande Resort. Inside, windows are floor-to-ceiling, and a fountain is fashioned of blue tile and green marble. D cor includes crystal and iron chandeliers, velvet and brocade fabrics, azure, sea green and turquoise color schemes, and Asian accents. The 18-story property draws families and business travelers, including guests from abroad. Tropical music can be heard at the Mangrove Pool and Mountain, a heated lagoon pool with 100-foot water slide. This giant splash pool offers a kid-friendly zero-entrance at one end. Also onsite, the 18-hole Naples Grande Golf Club is a 250-acre tract designed by Rees Jones and is exclusive to the guests of The Naples Grande Resort and the Edgewater Beach Hotel. There is an on-site professional golf academy, and a clubhouse with pro shop. Eight miles away, Historic Naples embraces an eight-block area with over 100 shops, restaurants, and galleries. Lined with palm and banyan trees, sidewalk cafes, boutiques, and antique shops, Fifth Avenue is like an old-town Main Street. Third Street South offers cobblestone streets, fountains, artisan galleries, and couture shopping.
