I've been going to Fort Lauderdale for a dozen years - once or twice a year. Have always stayed at Clothing-Optional Gay/Bi Male Resorts. In order of when I stayed:
1) Windamar - now closed or changed to a straight establishment - it was located a few blocks from the beach. Kind of run-down motel style with pool in center. Had a dark room/play area. When I was there, it was clean even though shabby. Lots of play around the resort. By the pool, rooms with blinds pulled open so you could see nude guys - love that scene so much, playroom always had one or several guys, all sorts of guys age and body type, day pass guys. It was a fun week.
2) Worthington - stayed there once. Can't remember which part (there are three buildings). I think I stayed at the Alcazar part. It was the smaller of the 3. Felt isolated. Not a community feeling. Guys were snooty. Didn't need to be. Lots of swimsuits at the pool with is so annoying at clothing-optional places. Had no erotic or sex vibe when I was there.
3) Cabanas - have spent at least half of my visits at Cabanas. LOVE IT. Staff is great, layout is really open to community and socializing. 2 pools and a beautiful in-ground hot tub. Beautiful landscaping. Most everyone is totally nude all the time. All different kinds of guys - older, younger, etc. In Wilton Manors. There is some friskiness during the day, but no overt sex so everyone feels comfortable. You can go to the steam room and play. Or in your room. There's definitely a playfulness to the resort. Rooms are great, updated and VERY clean. At night after dark, I have fucked by the hot tub and had a group scene. Have had guys visit, never a problem. I was there during a hurricane, which ended up missing us, but the staff was amazing throughout the event. Only drawback is it's not near anything. You are there and you have to drive or Uber/Lyft the moment you walk off the complex. Still, this is my go-to spot. The visits I haven't stayed there is because I booked too late.
4) Ed Lugo - also in Wilton Manors. This place is the best location by far. A block from Wilton Creamery. Short walk to all the Wilton Manors shops, bars, restaurants on the Drive. The place is nice, clean, rooms can be a little odd, it's a patchwork of older buildings nestled together. I don't mind funky, eclectic, it's fun. Ed is amazing as is his staff. I've been there off-season both times. Scene is very relaxed. I did have full on sex in the hot tub in the middle of the day, but most of the time, everyone seemed really relaxed, not particularly sexual, but lots of nudity, also lots of couples. I like to walk around these places at night and see if anyone has their blinds open and is showing off. Found none of that, but again, I was there off-season. I would def go back there again. Don't need to rent a car. Can Uber/Lyft everywhere. I also had a fuck buddy come over twice and had two massage guys there twice and neve a problem with mgmt.
Ed also hosts these summer pool parties where his property is PACKED with guys. Sounds like a lot of fun:
