Курорт Grand Palm Plaza (Gay Male Clothing Optional

Victor and his team at the front desk were amazing! We have been coming here for many years. New improvements and additions are great! We love the bar and Cafe. All of the staff we had interactions with have such wonderful and upbeat personalities always willing to help. From Christian at the front desk, Ivan in housekeeping to name a few of the folks that always made sure we have everything we need. We are excited to see what the future holds for this amazing place. Have been coming here for years! Get better all the time.

Amazing experience

Great check experience. Paul and Heath were very accommodating. Put us in a great room. They are even going to have a small lunch restaurant soon. *****Returned to property recently and I have to reduce my rating to 4 stars. They now charge a $25 resort fee that they never had, no happy hour now, morning breakfast very minimal and now charge $18 for parking. We may look at staying at another guest house next time.

The place has really gone downhill. The new management doesn’t seem to give a hoot about guest satisfaction. They don’t even answer an email. Even after calling twice about how they didn’t answer it ! They used to have a seven day a week hot breakfast. Now it’s supposed to be three days a week, but two of the three days, they didn’t even have eggs. They just said we’re out. FYI, there’s a grocery store five minutes away. No excuse for this. They used to have a fun happy hour for the guests a couple days a week with free drinks and snacks. Now that’s gone and replaced by a very overpriced bar. They used to have free parking, but now they charge for that. They used to not have a resort fee, but now they have that. The rooms are nothing special. It’s really not a good value at all. Save your money and stay someplace else, and if you want to use the pools, just get a day pass. this place is not remotely worth the $250-$500 a night that they’re trying to get for mediocre rooms and mediocre service.

I don’t know how this place was run before it was sold, but it’s nothing like advertised. Clothing optional? Technically, yes — but only in two small, confined areas. That’s it. You have to stay dressed until you get to those spots, and if you need to go to your room or the restroom, you have to get dressed again. Not exactly enjoyable and good for people watching/socializing. All-male resort? Not really. When someone who has transitioned from male to female is allowed entry, that means she is a WOMAN. No disrespect intended — good for her for having the courage to live as her true self. But if you’re identifying and presenting as a woman, you shouldn’t be using male-only facilities. You can’t have it both ways. And it didn’t stop there — she was even allowed to bring additional female guests. Needless to say, it was extremely uncomfortable and we left immediately to find other accommodations for the rest of our trip. There are other nearby places that actually live up to what they advertise. Turns out others left as well because wr ran into them at the other place. Management’s solution when we expressed our concerns - well, they said they’d move us to the penthouse suite so that we would have privacy. So we’re supposed to hide out up there and not use the common areas because you lied and opened it to multiple women? They also shut down an entire section for “renovations” without telling anyone in advance. Guests later learned they’d gotten in trouble with the county for men being nude, which led to the new restrictions. At least have the decency to disclose that before people book. The staff were friendly, but even they were openly talking about how much the new ownership has changed things. Apparently, the owners manage Airbnb rentals and thought running a resort would be the same. Spoiler: it’s not!!! The “free continental breakfast” was another disappointment. On the first day, they had eggs and bacon alongside gas station–style muffins. That was the only day they offered eggs and bacon. After that, all we heard was, “We ran out.” They also prohibit outside drinks — but don’t even keep the bar open. Really? If you don’t like smoking, you’re out of luck. Guests smoke everywhere — in the pool, in the hot tub, and all around the property. It’s unpleasant and unavoidable. The only positive thing about this place is that it’s within walking distance of the gay beach. Other than that, it’s a total letdown. Do yourself a favor and take a tour before booking — you’ll quickly see why you shouldn’t stay here.

The Worthington Guesthouse resort, which includes the Villa Venice and the Alcazar, is a very nice, lush, almost tropical in appearance resort in Fort Lauderdale. It's a men-only clothing-optional place with three pools and two whirlpools. Breakfast is offered daily in the office reception area and includes all kinds of general breakfast items, including bagels and cream cheese, cereals, and breakfast danish & muffins. I have visited the resort twice over the past two years and enjoyed it very much on both occasions. If you don't have fun there, you probably aren't trying hard enough. Great guest crowd and friendly office and maintenance staff in addition. By now, a fourth resort was added, The Grand, which is not clothing optional. I have not yet figured out all the changes, I will update as soon as I am able to.

We've been staying here 3-4 times a year for over 13 years, and this was only our second visit since the sale. The first visit after the sale was extremely disappointing and we did return to Ft Lauderdale since, but stayed at other hotels. We decided to give this place another opportunity and unfortunately, our recent experience was disappointing as well. While the property is still clean, the overall atmosphere has changed significantly. The grounds now feel “too sterile” and lack the warm, inviting, small-business vibe we once loved. In the past, we’d see team members around at all hours, making the place feel more homey and cared for. This time, staff presence was virtually nonexistent, and the place felt abandoned. It was also noticeably less busy — less than half full — whereas every visit before it was always full with guests. Prices have gone up, but given the emptiness and diminished atmosphere, it no longer feels worth it. To our surprise there was now a hot breakfast - but only to find out it is served only on weekends. We also experienced something we never did in the past — loud noise late into the night, with shouting, screaming, and slamming doors until 4:14 am. What’s more, there are no phones in the rooms to contact the front desk, which was inconvenient. While the property was clean, there was a lack of attention to detail — for example, a cup that was left on a ledge for days, possibly longer. And beach towels left lying around for days. Overall, it was disappointing to see how much this place has changed after all these years. We will definitely consider other options moving forward.

Been a guest for 20 years now. Always a friendly staff. Roberto at the Spa is amazing. Great messages.

Bought a day pass. Nice place. Friendly staff and the pool was fun.
