10/10 Excellent service and a beautiful property. The staff is extremely attentive and goes above and beyond to deliver excellent service. The rooms are also great. The hotel is also located close to coffee shop, CVS, and grocery store which was super helpful.

This has been a very relaxing stay. Everybody is just extremely nice and polite. They make you feel welcome not a fake feel but a real feel. I do believe they enjoy working here. We did have a little hiccup with a room. Things happen. They moved us to a nicer room with no questions. They even offered to move us and do whatever they can. If we do come back to Naples we will be staying here again. I'm just the type of person I like to visit more places than the same place over and over again. But trust me pick this place and you will have a good day. I don't want to go home. I don't want to go home

My husband and I stayed at the Inn at Pelican Bay last week for four nights, which was enough for us. The location is great, and the service was excellent and professional. The beds were comfortable, and the pool was clean. We had a room on the 5th floor that overlooked the water, which was nice and quiet for a holiday weekend. However, there are some improvements and suggestions for future residents. Be sure the bathroom amenities are up to par; the bathrobe was stained, and they never replaced it. We had to call housekeeping the first night as our body wash dispenser was empty. Also, there was a glass bottle of liquid under our bed, although housekeeping comes each day. Only towel replacement and bed making are done since no real cleaning was done. This sadly became the question of whether today would be the day they would find it. Lastly, breakfast is complimentary, but it lacked a good variety of healthy options. It mostly consisted of waffles, pancakes, donuts, pastries, and sugary cereal. Alternative choices were a bowl of yogurt, fruit that wasn't fresh, and packaged oatmeal with hard-boiled eggs that didn't taste fresh. We did enjoy the complimentary tea and coffee stations. Thank you for that service. I read another review that they had omelettes offered, but this was not the case last week; perhaps that is no longer an option. Although the Inn at Pelican Bay is convenient and decorated nicely, attention to cleaning detail and healthier breakfast options are needed.

We booked a room last minute and had a delightful time. The Staff is very nice, room is clean and comfortable. Despite the rain we loved the terrace and i really had a good time at the pool. It was very convenient to be able to grab dinner by walking from the hotel. Breakfast was delicious (some items would have required a label because we did’t know what they were. This was overall a very pleasant stay.

Pricy. $400 a night. Naples is overpriced. Similar to Miami Florida doesn’t have an income tax so they clobber tourist. If you’re on a budget you don’t want to come here. Many nice cheaper places to go

Our initial check-in process was lackluster. The front desk person working was not the kindest and did not greet us upon arrival. She was very cold and a bit rude. With that said, the doorman who was working at the time was absolutely phenomenal! Highly personable, cared about our luggage, asked how our trip into town had gone so far, while getting us to our room efficiently while maintaining professionalism. Throughout the week the evening staff seem to be a little disgruntled and frazzled. Overall, it was a very nice stay. The pool and fire pit were great additions. The rooms could use a little bit of updating, but their overall feel was very clean and Comfortable. Yes, I would recommend.
