What guests think

Vanderbilt Beach Resort draws praise for its true beachfront setting and relaxing old Florida vibe, with many guests enjoying beautiful sunsets, convenient beach access, and generally comfortable stays supported by friendly staff and strong on-beach service.

Several reviews note inconsistent front-desk service and strict policies, including limited beach use around check-in and checkout times. Rooms are often comfortable, but some are dated or small, air conditioning can be noisy, and views depend on room location. The on-site restaurant earns strong praise yet is expensive, sometimes prioritizes public reservations over guests, breakfast is not offered, and it has been closed during some stays. Expect a laid-back beach escape with simple facilities.

The property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The condo we stayed in was beautiful as well. The only thing we were disappointed about was we were not allowed to park and use the beach until 1pm...we arrived at 11:30am. It was somewhat inconvenient having to go to the public beach for an hour and a half; however, we were on the beach and life was good! Beautiful day!

While the hotel was quaint and nice, to call it a beach "resort" is a bit of a stretch. When I think of beach "resort" I envision a tiki bar, a spa, and luxury amenities. The hotel is nice... it's quaint, but it has more of a beach side motel feel. It has a small pool that is hardly a "resort" pool. The restaurant is open to the public. So, despite getting there at 5: 00pm (two of us) we were told there were no dinner reservations available (even for hotel guests) until 7:30 pm - for dining outside. Guests had no priority over external patrons in terms of the restaurant. Looking at the menu, the dinner prices were insane $$$$. I think I could have eaten cheaper at the Ritz. So, it's a nice, clean beach side motel, but hardly a resort.

Excellent location, as well as an excellent service by the beach service personnel in providing speedy service and locating an excellent spot as soon as we requested service including recommending reservations for dinner at the Turtle club. The service at the club and food was superb one of the best in Naples. Will definitely be recommending to my business associates, family and friends.

This was about my Fifth stay at VBR. This property is well kept for its age. It’s convenient that the rooms are so close to the beach since there are no bathroom services near the pool /beach area. Pool is crystal clear and having the noodles were nice to have to float in both the gulf and pool. On a disappointing note, the turtle club was closed for hurricane damage repair.

The check in and check out conditions are inflexible, we can understand that the rooms are not ready but you can’t use the beach before 1 pm on check in day or after 1 pm on check out. I booked by Expedia prepaid all expenses but they charged again the night, no one was available to solve the issue. Not a good place for a short escape. The beach is shorten that it was advertised.

The minute we walk in to check in the way I was treated was not the most "friendly or nice". every question I had they had an issue, or it was a solid NO (not even let me check, we can try maybe). I tried extending my stay by one more night willing to switch rooms if it was necessary or pay extra and I was told NEGATIVE absolutely Not that they were at a 99.9% capacity. I leave the front desk, a little disappointed but as I'm setting up, I log in and check online just in case and there were rooms available and sure was, not only rooms available I was able to upgrade to a better room for only $30.00 extra and stay for an extra night I was denied by the front desk member. honestly, I just wanted my kids to be happy if not I would of cancel and left since day one. the beach was very nice, overall, I would not go back due to lack of customer service and for been so rude.
