Palm Beach Gardens vs. Naples?

Hello. I am a single man looking to retire very soon. I would like to move down south (I currently live in a NYC apartment and I will still keep it), to Florida. I have been looking for a long time to find the perfect place in Florida. I came down to two decisions.

1. A house inside a gated golf community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It has a huge clubhouse with many restaurants, pro shop, tennis courts, two golf courses, gym and spa, community pool and hot tub, poker rooms, luxurious locker rooms, and a beach club located a mile away. The city seems pretty lively at night and in the day. Also, the staff at this club are like your own personal 24/7 concierge. They meet every need or want you have.

2. A condo in Naples. The tower has elevators that go directly into room from the lobby (special security elevators), the same amount of rooms as the house in Palm Beach Gardens, concierge services, a community pool and hot tub, a beach club, many restaurants, valet garage, tennis courts, but no golf. I guess I could join a golf club nearby, but I don't think it is the same as having two big golf courses in your backyard.

So, what do you think? I like high rise buildings and the idea of an elevator going directly to my room, but I also like having a golf course. Please help me.

And just to clear things up, I am only asking on Yahoo Answers to get an idea.
