The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club has received the prestigious “Pinnacle Award” from Successful Meetings magazine. The award will be presented to Jason Parsons, general manager of the 319-room resort, which is Southwest Florida’s only resort directly on the beach with an on-site championship golf course, a world-class spa, and an award-winning tennis center. The 125-acre resort features 34,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and many beautiful outdoor venues.
This marks the seventh consecutive year the resort has captured Successful Meetings’ coveted “Pinnacle Award,” considered one of the most prestigious awards in the meetings industry. Given only to those hotels and resorts that represent the highest standards of excellence, the award is determined by votes from corporate and association meeting planners. Selections were based on overall service, meeting rooms and equipment, recreation facilities, quality of food and beverage, exhibit space, accessibility and social consciousness. The winning hotels and resorts are recognized in the August 2010 issue of the magazine.
“Receiving this honor for the seventh consecutive year recognizes that The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club is an outstanding choice for meetings, incentive groups and conventions,” said Parsons. “We’re very proud that this award recognizes the first-class service we provide, as well as our exceptional resort offerings.”
Continually enhancing its already-impressive offerings, the resort completed a multi-million dollar renovation and remodeling of its guest rooms and suites in January 2010, and completed its $5 million all-new beachfront pool complex in February 2010.
The first phase of the multi-million dollar guest room project, which was completed in January 2008, included new bedding and fabrics, flat-panel televisions, rich new furnishings, and accents in calming tropical shades. The second phase of the project included totally-remodeled bathrooms in the guest rooms and suites, new carpet in the guest rooms and guest room corridors, and new sliding glass doors.
In addition, the resort completed its all-new, much larger, beachfront pool complex in February 2010. The new, $5 million Poolside complex features: two new pools (a free-form pool for families, and a secluded oval-shaped pool for adults), two new whirlpools, a new pool bar with food service, new restrooms, new locker facilities, 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.
A consistent recipient of many of the meetings industry’s highest honors, the resort offers a variety of venues for meetings and receptions. The 22,000 square feet of meeting space in The Clubhouse provides an impressive view overlooking the championship golf course. Venue options at the resort include the 6,283-square-foot River of Grass Ballroom, the 2,457-square-foot Mangrove Ballroom, and such scenic outdoor venues as the Watkins Lawn.
Standard offerings in rooms and suites include a private balcony or patio (with a view of the Gulf, lush grounds, or picturesque golf course), as well as an in-room refrigerator.
Owned and operated by the Watkins family for more than 60 years, the resort features: 1,000 feet of pristine white-sand beach; an on-site par 72 championship golf course; a world-class Spa; complete Fitness Center; the Mary C. Watkins Tennis Center with six Har-Tru courts; Beach Klub 4 Kids, a 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 four great restaurants, including the beachfront HB's on the Gulf, and the Seminole Store that serves deli sandwiches, ice cream, gourmet coffees and a variety of freshly baked pizza, pastries and desserts in a café atmosphere. The resort also features multiple bars, including the popular Sunset Beach Bar, consistently named “Best Place To View A Southwest Florida Sunset” and named “Naples’ Best Beach Bar” by the Travel Channel.
The resort is just blocks from Naples’ renowned shopping districts of fashionable 5th Avenue South and historic 3rd Street South. Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, Bayfront and Tin City are minutes away.
Groups and guests can experience the area by taking tours of the Everglades, Caribbean Gardens, Corkscrew Swamp, The Botanical Gardens, or the Conservancy Nature Center. In addition, boat and fishing trips can be arranged at the hotel. Other leisure time activities can include Naples’ outstanding museums, theatres, and art galleries.
