Equidistant to both Downtown Naples and Downtown Bonita Springs, the Perry Hotel is a boutique hotel that makes the ideal home base for exploring all our favorite Southwest Florida beaches, restaurants, and bars throughout the weekend. The hotel offers transportation to nearby beaches, a resort-style pool, a fun rooftop scene, and a delicious restaurant overlooking the water.
HYATT REGENCY COCONUT POINT RESORT & SPA
A tropical resort in North Bonita Springs featuring pools, a lazy river, waterslides, waterfront dining, and a private beach shuttle. Located just 15 minutes from Downtown Bonita and a short drive to Naples, it’s the perfect home base for a fun wedding weekend.
P.S. While there won’t be kids at the wedding festivities, if you’re turning the weekend into a family vacation, this is the perfect hotel for you!
HAMPTON INN BONITA SPRINGS/NAPLES-NORTH
For guests looking for a more budget-friendly option, we recommend the nearby Hampton Inn. Located just minutes from Shangri-La Springs and Downtown Bonita, the hotel offers complimentary breakfast, a pool, free parking, and easy access to beaches, restaurants, and all wedding weekend events.
