Proving the lesson learned from “The Tortoise and the Hare” fable, The Turtle Club reopening exemplifies how success can be achieved by taking time for steady progress.  

After a series of private friends and family events this week, The Turtle Club will reopen May 5 and begin taking reservations again May 6. The 25-year-old iconic beachfront restaurant in North Naples was temporarily shuttered for more than 19 months after Hurricane Ian sent a wall of water crashing through its space on the ground floor of the Vanderbilt Beach Resort in September 2022. Although the 34-room hotel—one of the last family-owned beachfront hotels remaining in Collier County—was able to reopen last year, the restaurant remained closed while its interior was completely rebuilt.   

A slow and steady process enabled the rebuilding and reopening of the popular upscale dining destination at 9225 Gulf Shore Drive, said Mick Moore, co-owner of the local resort and restaurant.
