Naples Bay Resort and Marina sits on Naples Bay at 1500 Fifth Avenue South, about a mile from downtown. The Topgolf Swing Suite is located inside Naples Bay Club, the private club that resort guests get exclusive access to during their stay. That is an important detail, because the club is where most of this property lives.
The bay is a full immersive golf simulator with the standard Topgolf Swing Suite game set behind it. Virtual courses and the Topgolf target games anchor the lineup, and the multi-sport titles cover the people in your group who do not play. Call (239) 530-1199 to check on availability before you plan an afternoon around it.
The club is genuinely impressive. There are five heated pools, including a family pool, an adult lap pool, and a lazy river running between them. Hot tubs sit beside both, and private cabanas are available next to the family pool. A separate hotel pool and hot tub sit right by the marina.
The tennis center has six well-kept courts, and play is complimentary for resort guests. Private lessons are available if you want them. The spa includes a sauna, a steam room, and a set of treatment rooms, and the fitness facility runs 2,500 square feet of cardio and training equipment. Yoga classes and personal training are both offered.
Rooms number 87, all with water views. You can book a king superior room, a one or two bedroom suite with a full kitchen and a washer and dryer, or an island-themed cottage with a screened porch and a sofa bed. Cottages are rented for six nights or more.
Dining is a real strength for a property this size. Cafe on the Bay handles breakfast with pastries and Lavazza coffee at the water. BlueWater Bar and Grill is the poolside spot for salads, sandwiches, calamari, and hummus. Indulge Restaurant and Lounge sits inside the club and serves lunch and dinner with specialty drinks.
Two more restaurants sit steps from the guest rooms. NOSH on Naples Bay serves modern food with a bar and a private dining space. Blackbird Modern Asian is the upscale option, with contemporary Asian cooking, cocktails, and a lively room. Between the five outlets, you can eat well here for several days without leaving the property.
The marina is the other draw. It offers direct access to the Gulf, with boat and slip rentals on site. The rental fleet runs 23-foot deck boats and tritoons, booked through Waves Boutique and Boat Rentals along with beach clothing and ice cream. A free shuttle runs guests to downtown Naples, the beach, and the club.
The setting puts you a mile from downtown, two miles from the fishing pier, and three miles from the Naples Botanical Garden. Fifth Avenue South shopping and Old Naples are both easy walks or short shuttle rides. Meeting space includes The Pointe, an indoor and outdoor waterfront venue, plus the Windward boardroom and the Leeward room for up to 60 guests.
Guests rate the resort 4.6 stars across roughly 1,449 Google reviews, one of the highest scores on this list. Praise focuses on the pools, the marina views, the cottages, and the service. For a golfer, the Swing Suite is a pleasant club amenity rather than a practice facility. For coaching or club fitting, book a dedicated indoor golf center instead.
