The  LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort straddles the Gulf of Mexico and Vanderbilt Bay in Naples, Florida and blends boutique hotel-chic with the Gulf Coast’s laid-back attitude, resulting in a vibe that's upscale but not too stuffy.  The 64-acre property boasts a golf course, spa, three pools, an award-winning beachside restaurant, and an impressive line-up of water toys from waverunners and pedal boats to kayaks. Most guest rooms are just steps off the beach. 

With the resort's Stay & Play package, guests earn a daily $50 resort credit that can be used for food and beverages, spa services, golf and even gift shop purchases. Plus, the resort is waiving the $17 daily resort fee, throwing in valet parking (a savings of $23 a day), and shaving 50% off golf greens fees (worth $35 per person, per round).  The package starts at $199 a night.

We price-checked a poolview double room in August. If you book with the promo, you'll pay $279 and receive a $50 credit. For the same dates, the best-available regular rate comes in at $259 a night.  Once you factor in the value of the promo perks—valet parking ($23), resort fee ($17), and $50 credit—you're looking at a comparative tab of $349 a night. So the promo delivers a savings of about $70 a night, shaving 26% off your total spend.

The savings holds true for longer stays, too.  A four-night stay for that poolside double room would total $1,116 in August with the offer, plus you'd get a $200 credit to spend as you like.  If you don't book with the promo, you'd spend $1,396 for the room plus valet parking ($23/day x 4 = $92) and the resort fee ($17/day x 4 = $68), and you wouldn't get that resort credit ($200). In all, you'd save $280 with the promo, or around 20%.  If you golf on the resort's course, you'll save there, too.

The offer expires September 30 and is subject to availability. Book online or call 800/237-6883 and use promo code PLAY.
