December, 2013 - Pre Christmas in Naples, FL

Our son, Scott, was planning to be in Naples for a business meeting so Dick, Mary K and I decided to drive over and have lunch with him.



He was staying at the beautiful Ritz Carlton on the beach and it was decorated to the hilt for Christmas!





The Ritz Carlton is gorgeous and the service is impeccable!





We had a wonderful lunch at the Ritz' beach bar....loved the bartender...



and the food was delish.  The dipping sauce for our coconut shrimp was wonderful!



The 3 of us stayed at the Waldorf Astoria just down the road and it was much less expensive than the gorgeous Ritz.  We were able to book one of their bungalow suites...loved the large patio and beautiful landscaping!






The Waldorf isn't on the beach but they own beachfront property and have large golf carts running shuttles all day from the main hotel through a beautiful mangrove forest to the beach.

 

 
 The beach was wonderful with lots of shells...Mary K and I will plan something crafty to do with the shells...right now they're still in the trunk of my car.  The only complaint we had with the Waldorf was having to pay rental fees for beach lounges...seems like the daily $25 resort fee should have covered this.  Not a big deal but seems a little chintzy for the Waldorf.
