سبا The Grand Resort &

We are on our last full day here and have had such an amazing time. From the second we walked in, we felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely welcomed. The vibe there just makes it easy to relax and be yourself. The staff were all so kind and down to earth — super professional but never stuffy. You can tell they actually care about people having a good experience. My husband loved his massage and keeps saying it was one of the best he’s ever had. His therapist really knew what they were doing, and he left completely relaxed. This was also my first time at a clothing-optional place, and honestly, it felt so freeing. The environment was respectful and body-positive, which made it way less intimidating than I expected. It ended up feeling empowering and just… really comfortable. As a queer couple, we also really appreciated how inclusive everything felt. It wasn’t awkward or weird — just welcoming and easy. It turned into such a great queer experience where we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. Definitely five stars. We’ll absolutely be back.

A magnificent place...A lovely team...Thank you for the quality of the stay. Gaston, you were just perfect.

I enjoyed my stay at the Grand, I was there for a week each day I found a new part of the hotel to explore. I loved the many corners and turns, in a sense it is very much pick your own adventure. The room I was in was upgraded and felt refined, (especially the waterfall shower) I appreciated that the space had sections for clothings optional or fully clothed. Overall it was a good time.

This is a great hotel/resort. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. There are several different pools and hot tubs at various places on the property. The gym is clean, modern, and nice. The complementary breakfast is good. The parking is upfront and very easy. Check-out time is 11:00 but they allowed us to stay in the room for an extra 45 minutes. We could also use and enjoy the resort amenities for the full day after check out. There are bathrooms and showers to use outside of the rooms in this instance. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Fort Lauderdale.

I would rate this establishment 1/5. This is the first time I stayed here and never return.Several Reasons-Front desk people are rude and unprofessional[ They need a customer care refreshment Course] and they can be better for future customers. Guests are smoking all over the place and there is no designated smoking area. They have 4 pools and no pool towels When I asked the front desk,they said they needed to give it to us. This is a Mens resort and guests are in the pool and jacuzzi all the time,they should stock up on the pool towels all over the pools. Every day they are running out of bath towels, and they are not honoring guests requests. We are spending a lot of money for the stay,but the service we are getting is very minimal. A lot of guests reviewed this facility 1/5 and 2/5, but management seems to be paying attention to make any improvement. I was very disappointed about the stay and would not recommend it to anyone.

One of two of my go-to places for gay lodging while in Ft. Lauderdale! The resort has everything you need for a comfortable stay, the pools and hot tubs are great places to chat up new friends, and the staff are some of the best in the business. Two and a half block from the beach also makes it a perfect location. Always looking forward to my next stay here.

Beautiful exterior space, plenty of pools to choose from to catch sun or shade, very social space, but you can find time to yourself too. Rooms are not all updated. The biggest complaint is that the TV fell off the wall in the middle of the night and right onto a chair. Dangerous. AC needs an update-- too noisy to have on through the night.

We were highly disappointed with our stay here in January of 2026 and I'll start with the pro's: Location is great. Neighborhood has the beach and things to do within walking distance. We took a boat tour down the street and a beach day with brunch by the water. There's a few pools to choose from as well at hot tubs on the grounds. The grounds themselves appear to be clean and maintained. There's a small bistro/cafe on site thats open during certain hours to make food, although curious during our time there they didn't have any diet coke. Sadly the Con's completely overwhelm the rest of the experience: The red flags started right at the beginning during check in. We purchased the most expensive room on the property in order to have a private outdoor shower and hot tub. Immediately at check-in we are being told that the hot tub wasn't working because someone (2 guests ago...) broke the control panel. No prior warning, no offer of reduced pricing as this suite "perk" was completely out of order just a "they're working on it". In the meantime our room wasn't ready so they offered to keep our bags and we could go across to the bistro for a bite to eat or beverage. I would have thought that being in the "resort" industry that "hospitality" comes part of it, but here it doesn't. They could have offered a bottle of water, or something but none was offered on the house. We had to pay for it. Come to find out later, other guests were given complimentary happy hour drink tickets and we were given nothing. We ended up getting tickets from other guests who didn't use theirs and was able to cash them in on a day that that the bartender called off--but only 2 drinks and not 4 that we should have gotten. We asked for a tour of the grounds and there wasn't enough people to do that. We were then given the keys to the room to complete the check in and told that our Penthouse Suite was on the 3rd floor. The gentlemen at the desk made it a point to mention that there was "No Elevator" and pointed to the direction that we had to go and that was it. And going back to my comment above about "hospitality" we had to haul all of our luggage up 3 flights of stairs to the room. Luckily we can move the stuff as other guests may not be so fortunate. WiFi? Didn't tell us. Getting to the room itself: The hot tub never did work right even though they did get it "going" (mind you couldn't tell the temperature or what the thing was doing at the control panel was still broken) it was leaking all over the patio and the maintenance guy said not to add water to it because he'd have to "mess with the chemicals" again. So couldn't safely use it. But good news for the first night, they put up caution tape and traffic cones around it while they messed with it! The outdoor shower floor broke. Only 1 of us was in there and he's not heavy at all---I stepped on it for a brief second and got off of it because I felt the floor become sketchy under my feet. The rest of the Penthouse Suite was unfortunately outdated (There's a badge on the wall stating there's a T1 data port!), there's blinds on windows missing and even worse the photos on the webpage don't even match what you're actually getting (ie: the hot tub is round in the photos, but in reality is square). The shower in the master bathroom leaked and barely had any water pressure and the water never got hot. The "guest" bathroom had a slightly better shower, but wasn't enclosed. There's no exhaust fan so the bathrooms end up steaming up fast and you'll end up not being able to use the mirror. The shelf in the guest bathroom was rusted from all of the moisture over time and looks gross. I really knew that they did not give much attention to this unit is when we closed the patio door and the "lock" was a stick of wood. This was supposed to be a trip to recharge after losing both of Moms last year in 2025. Instead, it became regret and horror for spending the money on this and we were happy to get back to the freezing cold just to be able to get a proper shower with actual water pressure.

Absolutely 100 % recommend the Resort . Everyone was wonderful . Michael the manager was so kind and friendly and Gaston excellent at the cafeteria .I had a blast .

Wonderful experience throughout. A great community of gay men from all over and all backgrounds. If you’re a gay man you’ll fit right in and have a wonderful time. The staff is sooooo friendly and helpful. Some of the rooms are updated, others still need a refresher. Will definitely be back!

This place has three hot tubs. One of them was completely broken. The other was not functioning well. Only one actually was hot. Every single day they ran out of towels at the pool. They were not replaced very quickly. It seems they don’t have enough towels for their customers. The breakfast was decent. The grounds are beautiful, but the room was lacking.

Iconic gay resort. Great staff. Multiple pools and hot tubs. Nice café. Spacious rooms. Walk to the beach. Welcoming environment. Very clean. Close to many restaurants and bars.
