Living in paradise, it is still a treat to escape as a family to a new tropical destination. My husband, daughter and I spent three nights at the Naples Grande Resort in Naples, Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Taking advantage of a work conference, we decided to discover this hidden gem in Southwest Florida. A few things we enjoyed during our stay, particularly with a toddler, included the following:
--swimming pool with a shallow entry point (great for kids to play in)
--a swimming pool slide that our child ventured up and down excitedly more than a dozen times
--great bar service (for the parents)
--towel service area had some pool toys available for sale (not overwhelming) if you did not pack yours
--poolside menu with healthy options
--crystal clear waters (and warm) at Clam Pass Park with a long stretch of soft, white sand
--activity choices available at the beach
--beachfront amenities (i.e. "oceanfront" restaurant, towel hut and the most important bathrooms)
The walk to the beach is just over a half mile, but your traverse through a shaded boardwalk full of wildlife and mangroves. Our daughter played "jungle" during our hike! Naples Grande Resort does offer a shuttle for those wanting something a little less active.

Definitely a "hidden gem." I had the opportunity to attend the same conference and found that the customer service - from the front desk to the tram driver to the Clam Pass beach to be exceptional.
Next time, I'm going to bring the family.
