The designs of the 295 guest rooms, suites and Club Lounge have also recently undergone a complete renovation by Wimberly Interiors. Gone are the dark woods, heavy fabrics and traditional finishing. The property has been refreshed with a lighter color palette and more modern décor better suited to its sunny surroundings. Guests also have an array of dining options: high-end American bistro Lemonia, the Bella Vista Lounge and the Poolside Grill. Or, just a 10-minute shuttle ride away, six more restaurants await at the hotel’s sister site, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples. And many of the meals at both locations are prepared with local ingredients sourced from the resort’s Crop Box—known as The Grow House—a repurposed shipping container used to harvest one full acre of completely pesticide-free produce. 14 ModernLifestyles.tv
