NAPLES, Fla., Feb. 17, 2015 — Northwood Hospitality (“Northwood”) officially celebrated the completion of the independently branded Naples Grande Beach Resort & Naples Grande Golf Course.

Local residents and guests will be awed by the coastal contemporary makeover on the interior, and inspired by the chic, fun amenities and services in the upgraded beach and pool areas.
“Naples Grande Beach Resort has the unique characteristics and offerings that the modern traveler to Naples, FL is seeking,” says David McCaslin, President of Northwood Hospitality. “Most noticeably, we distinguish ourselves from the standardized approach of international brands by staying true to the local region. In addition to the complete new design and look of the rooms, the property enhancements include furnishing each guest room balcony to enhance the outdoor Florida experience our guests seek. Plus we customized each of the three pools to bring a variety of aquatic offerings that exist alongside our renowned beach sunsets. We have created a new independent brand that is both genuine to the essence of luxury and dedicated to warm hospitality and the level of service that has become accustomed to the Northwood Portfolio,” stated McCaslin.
One of the resorts most distinctive attributes is the aquatics experience. There are three heated outdoor pools: the adults-only Palm Terrace pool now with private cabanas and butler service; the Mangrove Pool for families its waterslide twisting 100 feet around a rock tower through landscaped waterfalls.
