The 85-room upscale Naples Bay Resort and Marina is something like a small Italianate resort city, with a marina and bay at its center, and a sophisticated European vibe that feels many miles away from its beachy Naples surroundings. The grounds are huge, with three restaurants, five pools -- including an adults-only lap pool and a lazy river -- plus a tennis center, enormous fitness center, and full-service spa. There's a free shuttle for local destinations. Guest rooms are spacious and classic, with private balconies, while suites offer full kitchens and, in some cases, marina views. With its close proximity to popular Fifth Avenue, an array of sophisticated on-site features, and a kids' club, this is a great option for families seeking an elegant Naples getaway. Expect to pay a daily resort fee.

Cove Inn on Naples Bay is a two-pearl waterfront property with 90 rooms spread over two stories. The property is actually a condominium, and each room is privately owned and decorated by the owner, but all meet management's standard to provide creature comforts like flat-screen TVs and microwaves. All rooms have a balcony, some with a view of the marina and the bay. Guests give Cove Inn rave reviews for its waterfront location near downtown, its outdoor swimming pool, and tasty on-site restaurants, all of which make it an excellent value. But travelers that want more of a predictable chain-hotel experience could try the budget BEST WESTERN Naples Inn & Suites.

This 124-room Holiday Inn Express is a good mid-range option right outside of Downtown Naples. Clean and spacious rooms feature updated, modern decor, while suites have even more space with separate living rooms and kitchenettes. The free breakfast offers a range of tasty options, including a pancake machine, though the dining area can get crowded. The hotel also has a beautifully landscaped outdoor pool area, a small fitness center, business corner, and meeting facilities. There's a handful of restaurants and shops in the surrounding area, though Downtown Naples is about a five-minute drive from here. Travelers seeking something closer to the Downtown area might want to consider the Bayfront Inn 5th Ave, which has similar rates, but is not as modern.

The 100 apartment-style rooms here are essentially individual condominiums, with most of the comforts of home, including full kitchens, washer/dryers, and screened-in porches. The property consists of three-story stucco buildings in an earthen-colored rose, and there’s a vague nod, architecturally, to the structure of an Italian villa. A particular advantage of the hotel, besides guest-room conveniences, is its proximity to Fifth Avenue, which constitutes one of the main luxury shopping and dining drags in this upscale community. Shops from Chico’s to Starbucks are within a 10-minute walk of the property.

The Doubletree Suites Hotel in Naples is a step above other hotels in its price range. From the grand lobby with high ceilings and chandeliers to the homey-feeling suites with wrought-iron headboards and bright walls, this hotel seems resort-like and relatively upscale, despite its location just off of a busy street (unfortunately, some suites look out onto the parking lot). The clean, secluded pool area sits right above a nature preserve, and the fitness center is small but modern, featuring cardio machines with attached TVs. Freebies such as Wi-Fi and parking are nice extras, as are the two on-site restaurants (one with outdoor seating).

The Best Western Naples Inn & Suites is not quite what one would expect from a budget chain hotel: tropical gardens complete with koi ponds, lend a boutique hotel atmosphere to daily activities like eating breakfast and swimming. For its size, the hotel offers an impressive setting with two pools and two hot tubs, mini golf, and a lovely outdoor patio. There are Standard Rooms with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, Suites with cozy seating areas, and Apartments with full kitchens; some have patios overlooking the pool. The hotel is within walking distance of a supermarket, and a short drive from beaches, Naples Pier, and downtown. It beats out the prices of beachside hotels, which can be twice the rate per night, but the rooms here could use a refresh.
