“I am still hearing rave reviews of the fabulous DASA weekend. Thank you very much for making it flow so effortlessly. Your food was excellent at all our events. The meeting rooms and ballrooms were perfect for us. And, above all, your team was professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with ”

“I loved the meeting space and loved everything about the resort. For our opening dinner, we did a Mexican buffet and the food was out of this world and so was the presentation, with so much attention to detail. I’ve experienced good food at other hotels in Florida for our annual conference, but I wasn’t prepared for how outstanding the quality of the food was at the Naples Grande. And that was true of every meal we had at the resort, not just the opening dinner. It was out of this world. The biggest appeal of Naples is its sophistication and culture, It’s very beautiful. It has beautiful beaches and a fantastic dining scene. It’s also not as congested as other major Florida destinations. And there are lots of things to do, like eco-tourism. It’s also very clean and safe. It’s just a very unique destination that has a lot of appeal for attendees. And most importantly, it’s a very good draw, from a meeting perspective. In fact, the attendance at this year’s meeting was the highest we’ve ever had. It set a new record. And that’s the name of the game when it comes to meeting destinations. ”

“We worked very closely with Jose on many items and I want to let you know how helpful, accommodating and accessible Jose was before and during the meeting. Jose and his team treated us better than any other hotel I have worked with in the past regarding our SRM (Summer Regional Meeting.) Any time we encountered an obstacle or issue, Jose was quick to resolve beyond our satisfaction.”

“We had a successful meeting at the Naples Grande Beach Resort this past April for our Well-Being Conference of close to 500 people. Not only was the flow of function space perfect for our needs, but the entire experience left our staff, faculty, and attendees in a relaxed and happy state. The best part of the resort was the food – you could not go wrong with anything you eat at this resort. Everything I ate was sublime – local, seasonal food, flavorful, creative, and health-conscious! We plan to come back for another conference in the near future.”

“Our meeting was awesome! Jennifer and her team were top shelf in all of their dealings with us. Whatever we needed Jennifer was there to make it happen. The weather cooperated for all of our outdoor events which was just the icing on the cake. I've heard from some of our sales force this was the best meeting ever! Global works was ‘on it’ as well so there were no missteps. Can't say enough good things about the resort and the team you have in place.”
