Naples, FL - "My cousin Kelly lives in Portland, OR, so I don't see her very often.  That is why it was so special that we could spend a few days at the Ritz-Carlton Naples.  Located right on the beach, the Ritz doesn't disappoint in service and style.  We had a terrific time lounging by the pool and on the beach, as well as shopping and eating in downtown Naples."
