Tired of the same old routine? Craving an escape without the travel headaches or a massive dent in your wallet? My family and I just discovered the ultimate solution: a staycation wonderland at the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hillton Naples South in Naples, Florida! Forget everything you thought you knew about Hampton Inns, because this Hilton gem at 5146 Tamiami Trail East is a game-changer!
A Warm Welcome That Sets the Tone!
From the moment we walked in on Friday night, we knew this wasn’t just any hotel. We were immediately, and happily, greeted by Terry, a team member whose enthusiasm for the property was more infectious than any Disney character we’ve ever met! She didn’t just check us in; she genuinely welcomed us, excitedly detailing every incredible amenity. And as if that wasn’t enough, she personally whipped up some ice cream with toppings for the kids after dinner. Talk about a sweet start to the weekend!
Rooms That Redefine Comfort (and Space!)
Our accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. We snagged an amazingly large room on the 4th floor with a fantastic lake and pool view. It felt less like a hotel room and more like a stylish, temporary home! The decor is brand new and beautifully appointed, featuring a convenient kitchen area with both a fridge and mini-fridge. The living room was a haven of comfort with a couch, super plush chairs, and a TV, while our bedroom boasted a luxurious king-size bed, another TV, and an abundance of chargers to keep all our devices juiced up. The bathroom was equally impressive, spacious and accessible from both the bedroom and living area, complete with a large vanity and shower. We settled in, truly making it our cozy retreat for a couple of days!
Breakfast Bliss and All-Day Delights!
Waking up at the Hampton Inn South means one thing: an extraordinary free breakfast experience! This isn’t your standard continental fare. We’re talking an incredible waffle station where you can craft your own vanilla or cinnamon masterpieces, along with eggs, crispy bacon, cereals, fresh fruits, juices, and coffee. And the best part? Coffee and water are available all day in the lobby! The dining and bar areas themselves are super spacious, beautifully decorated, and make for a truly enjoyable start to your day.
Infinity Pool Perfection and Evening Ambiance!
The absolute highlight for us had to be the infinity pool overlooking the lake. This heated oasis was the perfect temperature for endless family fun. As dusk fell, the pool area transformed into a magical retreat with the fire pits lit, creating a super cool night vibe. My daughter adored the jacuzzi, and we even spotted a BBQ area – perfect for guests to grill up some delicious food while enjoying that stunning lake view.
And speaking of delicious, the bar serves up perfectly curated drinks! My personal favorite? The Felipe’s Backyard Party Punch – a tropical concoction that perfectly complements the poolside atmosphere. Seriously, if you’re there, you HAVE to try one!
Unforgettable Moments and Top-Tier Service!
Our stay was filled with memorable moments, including celebrating Father’s Day at the hotel! After church and dinner out, we returned to unwind by the pool and relax in our incredible room.
But what truly elevates this Hampton Inn experience is the staff. Terry, Hunter, Kayla, Shelby, and everyone else we encountered were incredibly friendly and attentive, anticipating our needs and making us feel completely at home. They even welcomed our little pup, Kiki, who had just as amazing a time as we did!
We also took advantage of the nearby attractions, enjoying the Cars and Coffee event at the Lamborghini store on Saturday – an awesome time checking out some fantastic vehicles.

This was an experience for the books, and we cannot recommend the Hampton Inn South at 5146 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, FL 34113 enough for your next staycation or for hosting out-of-town visitors.
