Start each morning with breakfast, unwind by the pool after a day of adventure, and enjoy spacious suites that give the whole family room to relax.
Here's our guide to spending three unforgettable days in Naples with kids.
Day One: Beach Day & Island Vibes
Vacation starts with the beach!
After fueling up with breakfast at Compass Hotel, head toward one of Naples' beautiful Gulf beaches. Spend the morning building sandcastles, searching for seashells, and splashing in the warm Gulf waters.
After soaking up the sunshine, stop for lunch before heading back to the hotel for an afternoon break. Kids can cool off in the pool while parents relax with a tropical drink from 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill.
As the sun begins to set, gather around the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a casual family dinner before calling it a night.
Day Two: Wildlife & Wonder
Naples is filled with opportunities to experience Florida's incredible wildlife.
Start your morning at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, where kids can meet giraffes, lions, monkeys, and more while exploring the lush botanical grounds. Interactive exhibits and daily presentations make it a favorite for visitors of all ages.
In the afternoon, continue the adventure with a visit to Golisano Children's Museum of Naples. With hands-on exhibits focused on science, creativity, and imaginative play, it's the perfect place for curious minds to explore while staying cool indoors.
Wrap up your day back at Compass Hotel with a family swim before heading out for dinner on nearby Fifth Avenue South, where you'll find a variety of family-friendly restaurants and a lively atmosphere.
Day Three: Explore Like a Local
On your final day, experience another side of Naples.
Begin your morning with breakfast before heading to Naples Botanical Garden. The colorful gardens, winding pathways, and interactive children's spaces create a peaceful setting that's enjoyable for both kids and adults.
Looking for one last adventure? Explore the waterfront at Tin City, where you can browse unique local shops, enjoy an ice cream treat, or book a sightseeing or dolphin cruise for a memorable finale to your vacation.
If you'd rather spend one more afternoon in the sun, take advantage of the beach before heading back to the hotel to relax by the pool one last time.
