What could make paradise even better? The perfect babysitter, and several resorts offer just that through their children's programs. Parents enjoy peace of mind and some relaxing time to themselves while kids enjoy exciting activities designed just for them.
The Ritz-Carlton Naples has taken the concept of a children's program to a whole new level with "Nature's Wonders." Led by the resort's team of certified Master Naturalists, this environmentally focused program lets your child interact with nature in a variety of exciting experiences. Explorations begin at the program's on-site headquarters, where nine aquariums offer a fascinating look at Florida's ecosystems and two touch tanks allow your child to hold live turtles and starfish. A miniature lab, complete with microscopes, slides and Petri dishes, helps your budding marine biologist explore a world not seen by the naked eye. Also housed at the center is The Nature Vision Theater, where National Geographic specials, Discovery programs and Disney movies are shown. The program also offers field trips such as a sail through the mangrove islands and a trip to the zoo. This outstanding program is also offered to guests staying at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort.
If you're staying at the Naples Grande Beach Resort or the adjacent Edgewater Beach Hotel, you can take advantage of the Naples Grande Kids Club. This program offers a variety of engaging activities, with fun and games both indoor and out, arts and crafts, sports and recreation, and educational and developmental activities supervised by trained counselors. A highlight your kids are sure to love: the 100-foot waterslide at the Mangrove pool.
Introduce your tribe to Tiki Tribe at the Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort, and they're sure to have plenty of fun packed into their summer vacation. From pizza parties to egg-and-spoon races, there's never a dull moment. The Marriott's expert staff keeps a careful eye on your children and ensures big adventures for your little ones.
The Beach Klub for Kids at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club offers a variety of fun activities under the supervision of their caring and energetic hotel staff. Pirates Day will have your younger children on the hunt for buried treasure, while events like volleyball tournaments will keep teenage children entertained.
Many of these resorts also offer a special "Kids Night Out" on Friday and Saturday nights so parents can escape for a romantic evening together. Additional babysitting by certified nannies is also available through advance reservations. And if you're traveling with a toddler, the Ritz-Carlton offers the P.O.L.O. (Protect Our Little Ones) Program, which includes blocking electrical outlets from little fingers and removing alcoholic beverages from the in-room refrigerator to make room for other necessities.Top of Page
