Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort No. 4 in North america

With thousands of resorts to choose from, and less than two years after it opened, The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples was voted the fourth best resort in North america by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine and received an impressive 90.9 rating. This score also landed the resort among the world's best at No. 81.

The November issue of Conde Nast Traveler celebrates the 16th anniversary of the magazine and the annual Reader's Choice Awards.

"This is a phenomenal recognition that reflects the hard work of our ladies and gentlemen," said Bradley Cance, general manager for The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. "The poll is highly regarded because it is based on the testimony, experiences and satisfaction of past guests. It is our goal to provide exceptional guest experiences and we are delighted to be at the top of this list."

Every year since 1998, a random sampling of Conde Nast Traveler subscribers have received the "Poll of Consumer Attitudes." The complete 2003 poll was divided into eight unique questionnaires. No single poll contained the full complement of questions.

Each candidate was rated on a five-point scale: excellent, very good, good, fair and poor. Final scores equal the percentage of excellent and very good marks.

The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, the Golf Resort's sister hotel, was also on the list with an impressive score of 88.4 and was ranked 14th on the top 75 list.

Naples is the only city in the world to have two Ritz-Carlton hotels on the list. Other cities with two Ritz-Carlton hotels include: Boston, Washington D.C., New York City, Atlanta and Miami.

The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples features 295 guest rooms with views of the Greg Norman-designed Tiburón Golf Club. Resort amenities include two restaurants, a gourmet coffee shop, card room, billiards room, Lobby Lounge and an impressive Club Level Lounge with balconies overlooking the 18th hole.
