Our only complain was poor WiFi reception.

We switched our reservation from the 4 Seasons to the Escalante and are so glad we did so. It was walking distance to the town but a completely secluded, hideaway. It was so relaxing, clean and beautiful. We loved the staff and music. We absolutely will return and highly recommend to others!

Beautiful property! Very private and lovely! Marco was so great ! The food is delicious and the pool is gorgeous.

Pay too much to stay and play. You can walk to restaurants specifically in old Naples on 5th, but I can’t fathom why this place was 100x more than any hotel in Naples, including Ritz (drive/different area) or Bellasera (same area). Marco was amazing but is severely overworked and over-depended on to handle breakfast/crowded beach etc… The two front desk ladies I ran into might have been as human as the AI chat thing that you have to text to get anything you want. Pulled up, to check in (which you have to do before 10pm) told to park further away, then my wife and I dragged our luggage over cobblestone to be walked to our room with no questions answered except that their keys deactivate a lot and after 10pm it’s a 2 hour wait to get anything done lol. Once in the room, it was an outdated suite but nice but also zero privacy from the room and patio. Tables full the whole weekend around the pool surrounding you. I can look people in the eyes that are eating dinner. I wanted to cannonball in the pool when we got back from early dinner, I didn’t because of all the non-hotel guests. And hot tub would be awkward too. Literally only worth the price if you have too much money and you want to walk to 5th street restaurants. This is a 3 star hotel that charges more than a 5 star. Expected way more than I experienced here. Paid much less for way more at nice hotels here and around the world. At this price, you expect service to be 100%. Poor Marco, he should work at a better place.

Super stay and cannot fault anything. Location, room, staff and atmosphere all excellent. Will stay again. Beach close by and sun loungers, towels, umbrella and transport all provided thanks to Marko ( who is a star) . Pool was fab along with the jacuzzi. Restaurant food was amazing,. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Different type of hotel. breakfast should be much better for the price of the room.
-
We loved our stay here so much! The service was top notch, the grounds were stunning and the rooms were big and comfortable. We didn’t want to leave. The only tiny thing that has room for improvement is the complementary breakfast as its fruit, yogurt, granola and bread every day. Other than this minor detail, we’d absolutely stay here again!

This is a gem. Beautiful hotel with impeccable service. The beach is close but you can ask for ride at the hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed every minute

Beautiful space and location is perfection

We had an excellent stay and would not hesitate to stay again. Hotel has ultimate convenience - a couple of blocks from the beach and a block from 5th Ave. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly one “do-it-all” staff member, Marco. Room was nicely updated and clean. Restaurant experience was also excellent.

The Escalante is excellente! A real haven right on 5th Avenue and an easy walk to the beach although you don’t need to walk as they provide a cart to take you. The pool area is great too and as there aren’t many rooms, it was easy to get comfortable sun loungers. I have stayed at major chain hotels all over the world and our stay at the Escalente was right up there with the best. The staff were so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Parking was easy and the free continental breakfast was superb. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Naples.
