The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club has received the prestigious “2009 Planners’ Choice Award” from MeetingNews magazine. The award will be presented to Jim Gunderson, general manager of the newly renovated 319-room resort, which is Southwest Florida’s only resort directly on the beach with on-site championship golf, a world-class spa, and an award-winning tennis center.
The “Planners’ Choice Award” winners were chosen by hundreds of meeting and event organizers, who selected only the finest hotels and resorts in North America. The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club was one of only 39 resorts in North America, and one of only 15 resorts in the South U.S., to capture the honor. Winners were identified in the December 21, 2009 issue of MeetingNews magazine.
“We’re very pleased to receive this great honor, as it recognizes the resort as one of the country’s finest resorts for meetings, incentive groups and conventions,” said Gunderson. “In addition to the resort’s ideal setting, exceptional recreational offerings, and beautiful indoor and outdoor meeting venues, we also have a truly outstanding staff. This award is a result of all of these factors.”
Featuring 34,000 square feet of conference and event space, the resort completed a multi-million dollar remodeling of its guest rooms and suites in November 2009. The project included totally remodeled bathrooms in all guest rooms and suites, new carpet in all guest rooms and guest room corridors, and new sliding glass doors in guest rooms and suites.
Not resting on its laurels, the resort is putting the finishing touches on its $5 million, all-new pool complex. Upon its completion at the end of January 2010, the new, much larger beachfront pool complex will feature two new pools (a free-form pool for families, and a secluded oval-shaped pool for adults), two new whirlpools, eight new cabanas that may be reserved, new restrooms, new locker facilities, a pool bar with food service, and a new pool shop. Picturesque tall palms encircle this new large pool area, and there is easy access for guests to walk right onto the beach.
The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, owned and operated by the Watkins family for over 60 years, combines impressive meeting capabilities with exceptional recreational offerings in a world-class destination.
The 125-acre resort features a wealth of recreational amenities, which include: 1,000 feet of pristine white-sand beach; a challenging on-site 18-hole, par 72 PGA championship golf course; a world-class Spa; a complete Fitness Center; the Mary C. Watkins Tennis Center with six Har-Tru courts; Beach Klub 4 Kids, a professionally-supervised recreational program for children ages five to 12; and an Orchid House, home to over 3,000 tropical plants.
In addition, guests can take advantage of multiple great restaurants, including HB’s on the Gulf, the city of Naples’ only beachfront restaurant. The resort also features three bars, including the popular Sunset Beach Bar, consistently named “Best Place To View A Southwest Florida Sunset.”
Standard offerings in rooms and suites include a private balcony or patio, with a view of the Gulf, lush grounds, or picturesque golf course. Standard amenities include in-room refrigerator, two telephones with voicemail, modem access, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, in-room safe, in-room coffee, climate control, and security keycards. High-speed wireless Internet access is also available.
The resort is ideally located just blocks from the fashionable 5th Avenue South and historic 3rd Street South shopping districts. Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, Bayfront and Tin City are also only minutes away.
The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club is located at 851 Gulf Shore Blvd. North in Naples. For more information, call (800) 237-7600 or (239) 261-2222. Or, visit www.NaplesBeachHotel.com.
