    Me and the wolf
    Benjamin D.

    There are many things great with the lodge, but like everything some cons. The rooms are spacious and clean. Very big corridors and a microwave in the ice machine room. Beautiful lobby you can just sit and chill and a gift shop that has snacks and beer. Walking towards the indoor water park , you will pass a dunkin' donuts a couple of more gift shops and two restaurants, even a bowling alley (not included with the normal room purchase pass). This resort works on specific levels of passes that you can purchase additionally to the basic pass that you will receive on your wristband upon purchase of the night. Birthday, children were running around with magic wands.That again is not included in the normal package pass, but can be purchased additionally.That are very interactive with certain items.Kind of like an egg hunt around the resort. They keep the indoor water park at a solid 82° all year round, which is great.If you come down in the wintertime , when florida gets a little nippy in the sixties , but since summer time here , it's pretty hot in there , but it's perfect because the water is cool. Complementary towels are given.You just have to scan your wristband and it will be on your tab your room and you must return them before the end of your visit or you will be charged. The outside pool is more of your each style.Walking resort type of pools with very comfy plastic chairs inside the water that you can lay on. There is a little mini obstacle course for kids on the deep end with lifeguards everywhere.There are also lifeguards inside the indoor water park. Thursday tiki bar outside and the outside pool and there is a bar inside with the water park portion. A wave pool, a smaller child play area (where the water bucket is) and then yiu get to the water slides. Water slides are SUUPER fun. Some are solo runs, then you two different 5 person rider slides and then you have a two person raft slide. I would recommend for a fast and furious ride get on the red tube (that line of course is longer going up the stairs). The lazy river is a nice touch after running around and going up and down stairs and running to slides , you can just get on an inner tube and just float around for a bit. The jacuzzi outside is so big, I think like 15-20 people can fit comfy in it. Now on the outside area and also the inside water park area , there are cabanas , I believe for rent or they just come with the additional pass purchase. The bathrooms are very clean.They have family bathrooms, male and female bathrooms.And showers. They even have this little machine that you can put your bathing suits in one at a time.Hold down the lid for 8 seconds.And it basically does a quick spin cycle removing most of the water out of your bathing suit and barely leaves it humid. If you do not come late afternoon for check-in, you will most likely be in the traffic jam that forms in the front.Not only of cars , but then also inside the lobby of people trying to check in. Luckily for us, we came later in the evening, almost the next day and the lobby was empty.But both days that we were there.The lobby anytime from checkout time , which is eleven till about four or five p m , it was full of people trying to check in. They make checkout very easily for you.All you have to do is text a number and text the word "out" and you're checked out. It is a pretty penny for 3 days 2nights, but not unreasonable and they have specials. The coolest part is that after check out, you can stay and enjoy the amenities for the day and then just leave when you're done. They also offer day passes that you can come just for the day and enjoy they were amenities.You will have to pay for parking if you are not staying the night. If you are staying it's $25 a night for parking. Go and check out the great wolf lodge!!!

    New update! As this being our second time here, both celebrating birthdays... we've just had an absolute blast! The rooms were very clean and stocked with coffee. The dance parties were our favorite, the slides were wonderful, the park was just full of exorbitant and love! This is our go to adopt for family events. It doesn't matter how old you are, Great Wolf Lodge is a treasure to everyone! Can't wait to return!!!

    I was scammed out $455. And they can not tell me what exactly I was charged for that equals $740. I was also charged for not returning towels when I absolutely returned all the towels. I will be telling anyone I come across to not go to this establishment. Very ridiculous I can't speak to someone in Naples Fl let alone the US and they can't answer my questions of why I have a pending $455 charge. However they did refund me the towel charge. Again I wouldn't recommend unless you like having unexpected holds on your credit card :-/

    What a wonderful weekend we had. We celebrated our son's bday and he had an amazing time. I would highly recommend coming here instead of spending a bunch of money on a party that will only last a couple of hours. My family and I will be coming back!

    Rope course

    3 stars is about right. You go in expecting a lot more here but never gets passed 3 stars. Make sure you have the wristband they make you wear on your left wrist. Why? So that when you drive in and out of this place it's easy to open the gate. You may ask, why do we need to be in and out - because the food is meh at best and super over priced. You can drive 10 - 15 minutes and be anywhere wayyy better for food. The 3 stars go to the indoor waterpark which is a huge plus during cold days/nights. If your kids are under 8 years old they should get a kick out of this place. Anything older than that, they'll get bored. Unless, all they're about is the indoor waterpark. If you're nearby, within 2 hours, a day pass wouldn't hurt or maybe just a one-nights stay. The rope course is cool for kids and they also have an arcade, mini golf and bowling.

    We spent 3 nights here on a family vacation. We booked a few months in advance so we were seriously looking forward to this trip. I've heard so much about this franchise (specially the GA location) so my interest was definitely piqued when I found out they had a property in Naples as well. Finding the property was fairly easy. I did imagine it would be bigger, but that did not take away from the magic. There is a '15 minute max' unloading area where families can snag a luggage cart if needed and get items on the curb before parking. Once we entered the lobby my son was greeted with wolf ears and our adventure began. He was able to enjoy music and games with the other kids while we waited in line to check in. They also have kiosks inside the lobby for self-check in options. Within about 20 minutes of our arrival they were announcing a dance party that was about to take place so my son was ecstatic. After dropping our bags off in our room we quickly headed back downstairs to check out the arcade and scope out the other fun extras you can add to enhance your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the ropes course and zip lining. I cannot thank the wonderful staff enough for their kindness and courteous demeanors throughout our entire stay. We did not encounter a single employee who brushed us off or did not exceed our expectations for service. Food on property is ok. I did not eat anything that wow'd me but most restaurants offered some decent options a la carte and buffet style. I did not partake in any alcohol on property but there are bars serving cocktails and beer. They are very accommodating with allowing outside food and drinks so with proper planning you can really cut costs here if nowhere else during your stay. Rooms were clean and housekeeping was consistent. It wasn't a hassle getting enough rags and towels like some places. The lobby offers daily read alongs, dance parties and game events to keep the kids engaged even when they aren't frolicking around the waterpark. There was a mini golf course, a play gym, an adventure quest game, VR games and a 'gold' mining area to name a few add ons. The waterpark includes various slides, a lazy river, a wave pool and other play areas for smaller kids. I love that they have an abundance of life jackets in various sizes. Towels are provided and checked out via your room (wristband). Chairs are first some first serve with the option to purchase a cabana for a more intimate experience for your family. Some slides take you outside the facility and bring you back inside which is very cool and my son was so bummed he wasn't tall enough to try them out. He did enjoy the lazy river, the kids area and one of the tube slides a lot so we rode those until he couldn't take the chlorine anymore lol. They have restrooms and a shower area so you don't have to run back through the hotel soaking wet, so make sure to pack a bag to bring with you down from the room. There were a few lighting delays which causes the lazy river to get super crowded. I would not recommend during these times unless you're looking to be stressed out fighting between families. This is the opportune time to take advantage of the indoor activities. They take bed time VERY seriously here which I love. I did not hear any loud noises or hallway commotion after quiet hours. All activities, restaurants and shops also close around this same time making it easier to enforce. Check out was a breeze. I look forward to staying at some of their other locations in the future.

    Our family of four stayed for two nights during Labor Day weekend. Big mistake--it was extremely crowded. We arrived at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, and both self-check-in and regular check-in lines were long. Aubrey at the front desk was kind and helpful, but our room wasn't ready, so we went straight to the water park, which was standing room only. The lazy river and wave pool were filled shoulder-to-shoulder. Our room matched the online description. A TV in the kids' area and a curtain for privacy would have been nice. No safe meant we had to lock electronics in the car. Housekeeping was friendly and kept the room clean. The water park had poor ventilation and an overwhelming chlorine smell, so we were glad for other amenities. My daughter loved the zip line, and as a family we enjoyed bowling and mini golf. Arriving early the second day made the water park much more enjoyable--we were able to get chairs and ride the slides before the crowds. Restrooms stayed very clean despite heavy use. Food was the biggest letdown. We waited 25 minutes for nearly cold burgers while staff stood around. The pizza was even worse, with little cheese and only six pepperoni slices--our nine-year-old barely touched it. The breakfast buffet (which we prepaid) was the best dining option, with hot food, eggs to order, and decent savings compared to paying at the restaurant. After the pizza experience, we picked up food from Publix nearby. Other chain options are also close. The Ultimate Fun Pass was a highlight, giving us unlimited bowling, mini golf, zip line, and drink refills. Overall, our kids had fun, and we had a chance to relax. However, for the price and crowds, I'm not sure we'd return--especially since we have other vacation options closer to home.

    Story time which was pretty cool, I'm sure younger kids will enjoy this.

    Not sure where to start, we were really excited for this Resort and we're so happy when they opened up in Naples, otherwise we would have gone to the location in Georgia. We were all ultimately disappointed and not because the Resort is horrible, but more on the expected experience. The indoor water park is really small, not at all what we expected. The lazy river is a joke!!! .... I mean it's super small and the wave pool is no bigger than my community pool. They had some cool water slides but again we have been to other parks with way better slides. Honestly, we had more fun at the outdoor pool, but that is available in any Hotel/Resort. The Resort is nice and clean as you would expect being that the location was recently opened in Q3 of 2024. Perhaps my kids are too big to enjoy this Resort (16 & 10), I can see younger kids having a better experience, but if you have been to other water parks it may still disappoint. The indoor activities were also meh at best, the interactive wand experience is quite limited, I mean the kids can complete the attraction in a matter of minutes, the arcade is super small, the obstacle course was quite cool and was probably the best attraction in the Resort. The food options are horrible, the Fireside restaurant is way overpriced for what you get, so we opted to venture out to grab food, but the surrounding area is also limited on what's available. The story time is very cool, nice effects but more for younger kids. I heard other Great Wolf Lodge locations are way bigger so unsure why this new location was so small in comparison. If you have older kids like mines, you're better off going to the Rapids in WPB or Volcano Bay/Aquatica/Typhoon Lagoon/Blizzard Beach in Orlando, which is a hundred times better for the same price range (this place is not cheap!!). At the end of the day, we came but we will not visit again, it's a one and done event. Hope others are able to enjoy but once you visit other water parks in Florida (which we have plenty off) it leaves this place undesirable.

    After going to the one in Charlotte a year ago, we went to the one in Naples since it's only a couple hours away from where we live. The lodge is a great experience for all ages. Our family of four enjoyed our stay. We scored a deal online with it being 40% off if we stayed 2 or more nights booking it 3 months in advance. The room is spacious. We stayed in the Wolf Den suite, which had a bunk bed, queen bed, and a pull out sofa bed. It included a microwave, fridge, TV, plenty of drawers, and counter space. I wished there was a balcony in the room since it would have helped to dry our wet bathing suits quicker. The water park is included for each guest that is staying there and it includes a lazy river, few water slides, wave pool, a couple of swimming pools, and a splash playground area. There is an option to get the pass, which is an additional cost and it includes most of the activities. It has an arcade, Build a Bear, bowling, mini golf, and other things for fun. There is an app that you can order food from while you were at most of the restaurants on site. It was a nice feature in case you don't want to leave the lodge and eat it in your room or at tables that are nearby for seating. It tends to be pricey though for the extra convenience.

    ROSARIO S. CASSATA AT GREAT WOLF LODGE IN NAPLES FLORIDA.
    Rosario S. C.

    One of the newest places to open is the Great Wolf Lodge in Naples. The Lodge is an indoor waterpark featuring a lazy river, tubing, a wave pool, a kid's area, and several slides. In addition, there are cabanas, a small shop, and a food concession stand. A sizable outdoor pool with cabanas is also available. Every water area always has lifeguards on duty. In addition, there are indoor non-water activities like bowling, an arcade, zip lines, ropes, and climbing nets. These activities come with extra expenses. There is a food court, ice cream area, Dunkin Donuts, The Fireside restaurant, and a retail store with a Build a Bear. The Grand Lobby offers free kid-friendly activities every day. Although the Lodge offers very clean and well-maintained themed rooms, you will need to carry your own bags up and down as there is no service for that. It does get really busy, particularly on weekends.

    Dropped in for the day... and met up with my sis and her family for my nephews bday. Place is busy .. was surprised to see how many ppl there were. They have multiple experiences going on in different areas, so you can go fpr one or get a paclege to experiences mpre than one. Its def a family.. esp child geared resort. My sister stayed for 2 days so they got a room. The kids really enjoyed the water park and I even found a couple of slides that I liked. One issue id mention was the bar inside was very slow and the one outside was having technical issues so they weren't servicing anyone which maid the inside bar even slower. I'd say the major critique i have for the water park... while I def understand with the sheer number of people they need to keep the water highly chlorinated.. but the smell was so strong in the air.. that it was actually irritating my eyes before I even went in the water.. it was so strong I had to go to the outside area for breaks of fresh air. So if u are sensitive to strong chemical smells you should keep that in mind. I think getting better ventilation for that enclosed space would really go a long way in bettering the experience.

    Dinner special

    Beautiful resort inside and out. Great place for kids. We are celebrating a soon to be 4 yr old birthday and he is loving it. In a Grizzly Suite that sleeps 8. There is plenty of room. (No microwave in room but there is one down the hall by the ice machine). The room does have a mini fridge. The staff have been amazing, friendly, very helpful. Food in Fireside Restaurant was good and there are daily specials aside from what you see in online menu. Can't wait to come back!!

A space of 12 feet for the diving boards, a lower and higher one. Obviously the higher diving board will create a harder impact going into the water.

You could feel the grooves where sections of slide were put together on your back when going down the slides.

You can (and in fact, you're encouraged to) bring your own snacks/drinks, but they also have a small concessions area. We packed a cooler of drinks (la croix and some harder bevvies for the adults in our group), sandwiches, and snacks, and headed to this park for the afternoon. There was a large kids pool that was at most 3 1/2 feet deep, with a bunch of squirting machines and a giant wheel that dumps water. My nephews and niece really enjoyed this one, and it was large enough that there was still room to swim around and have fun. There was also a nice ledge along the back side of the pool (away from the attractions) so you can comfortably sit! There was also a large pool (that was much colder!) with lap lanes, an area to hang/swim, and a high and low diving board. There was always a small line for the diving boards, the kids were having so much fun! On top of all that, there are 2 water slides and an infant pool. The pool areas are well-staffed with lifeguards who were on top of keeping an eye on everything, blowing the whistle to get the attention of people, making sure kids were walking not running, and keeping the area safe. There's also a good blend of chairs in the sun and picnic type tables in the shade. We had a blast here and it's a great place for a family fun day!

From the moment you arrive, until you leave you get exactly what you hoped for from Four Seasons. Service the is beyond normal expectation, a staff that wants to make your day better, and a location that makes the days go by way to fast. This place has a local vibe that is unique. And really relaxing and peaceful. I look to Four Seasons to help me unwind from a busy schedule and day to day interruptions. I find that really exists at Naples. The sand is white, and the ocean is right at your feet. The sunset is unobstructed from the deck off our room, and from our bed. Really cool. There was cheering from the bar patrons when the suns last light fell behind the ocean. It was beautiful. The pastry chef makes the best cinnamon rolls at brunch. Staff is always within reach, and the manager was present throughout our stay. They have opened a nice coffee shop cafe on premise that is really convenient and the coffee is excellent. My Grandkids loved the Naples zoo, it's small but good. Has a fun boat ride. And the Revs auto museum Was awesome, including race ready cars from multiple decades.

The unit had a strong musty odor and the floors were so dirty that even after using multiple Swiffer wipes, they still weren't clean. Decor is outdated and definitely needs a refresh. Masking tape used to block the screen on the balcony patio. At night the property is very dark with no lighting leading in, and with the nearby construction, it felt unsafe to drive in or out after dark. Overall, not the experience I was hoping for. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

    I am here to update my review of South Seas Resort because last week my family and I were able to…read morestay for the first time since 2022 and Hurricane Ian as resort guests. South Seas is a resort, but has many buildings that are privately owned which is how we originally began staying here via Air BNB. As a family, a trip to Captiva has been something my parents started doing when they were dating, and now it is a family tradition that is 3 decades strong. We have been keeping an eye on the progress of the island after the devastation from hurricane Ian and we were THRILLED to see the resort reopen and the island making strides to welcome folks back. Our family of 7 booked a 3 bedroom beach villa which had ocean views with a quick walk to the beach. The villa featured a master bedroom, guest bedroom with a twin bed and two bunk beds, and a loft with a queen size bed. It also had three bathrooms. There are a ton of options when it comes to room sizes and villas, but we like ocean view for the ease of going to the beach. We were in the 2600 building which is right at the entrance. The kitchen was brand new, and looked out at the living room and screened in balcony. For a group this size it is a comfortable space, and the kitchen makes it easy for you to not have to eat out every meal. I will say one piece of feedback would be to have a sheet pan and chef's knife as part of the appliances, in the past with our Air BNB there were definitely more kitchen utensils included - however I know that they are just getting back on their feet so it was totally fine. Now onto the pro reason you should stay as a resort guest - the amenities. We got to enjoy the pool with access to their restaurant and bar, as well as the shell city burger food truck on the sand. Service at every venue was amazing and everyone was so friendly. If you are not a resort guest, you cannot enjoy these amenities as the charges are directly to the room and they don't take cash/card. They currently have Red Fish Grill which is a restaurant but also poolside bar, Shell City Burgers which is a food truck, and Harborside which is a fancy steakhouse. It goes without saying vacation is all about ease and relaxation - so opting to dine on property when we didn't feel like cooking was awesome. I also enjoyed the resort gym - the equipment is phenomenal. It is also very clean. Overall, you should note that as of right now they are still working to rebuild. You should expect some construction as South Seas 2.0 is being worked on, but it is all for the best for something truly special. In the works is new hotel rooms, a water park, and a beachfront restaurant. I am so happy to see Captiva Island rebuilding and open for folks to enjoy. It is such a special and beautiful place. Thank you to South Seas for continuing to make our family vacations so special.

    Rooms are very dated and in need of repair. Toilet did not flush properly, shower fixtures loose,…read moremoldy grout. Just after taking a shower, and walking across the wood floor, noticed bottom of my feet were black as I was putting my shoes on. Floors were filthy. I don't think the sliding glass door locked either. With the room fee and taxes and all the other "fees" room was close to $700. Outrageous for the quality. View was the back of the pool house. Not appealing.
