I stayed at a Ritz-Carlton resort for the first time during a trip to Naples, Florida, and 7 things surprised me
"I recently spent two nights at the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón in Florida. It was my first time staying in a Ritz-Carlton hotel, and a few things surprised me about the chain. I wasn't expecting to have access to two locations. I was also surprised by some of the amenities. I didn't anticipate developing an appreciation for golf. I didn't think I'd find myself in a lazy river. And I definitely didn't expect to have access to two resorts."
"But my first-ever stay at a Ritz-Carlton hotel was full of surprises. This was in October 2025, when I spent two nights at the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón in Naples, Florida. My stay would have been about $800 a night, but Business Insider received a media rate. I'm not typically one for hotel chains, but the Ritz-Carlton is an iconic luxury brand, so I decided to give it a try."
