All of my favorite resorts are outside the US: Club O, Paya Bay, maybe Playa Sonrisa. American resorts just don't do it for me. Although my fave nudist venue is in the US, it would hardly count as a "resort".

Better a resort than a colony

I don't know that I've used that term since 1971 ... when a shipmate of mine asked me if I was a nudist, after seeing me getting outta my rack naked. After talking a bit, he told me that his family was also nudists and went to a "nudist colony," but then said ... "we don't want to call them that anymore."
As far back as I can remember, I remember asking the Prof if she wanted to visit a "nudist place," to meet other people. Of course, that didn't happen for some time. I don't get upset with people that say that to me ... "do you go to a nudist colony?" I answer, "yes, but we don't call them that anymore and haven't called them "colonies" for quite some time and they are much more than they used to be."

In his usual wry and oblique way, CalTom captures perfectly the way nudists are regarded by the rest of the world.
CalgaryMark, I'd love another visit to Paya Bay, but the money tree had a tough winter and isn't leafing out as well as I had hoped.

Me too! The Tripadvisor reports are also enticing and enthusiastic - it will probably be 'overrun' next time we can make it. Looks like we will have two general elections this year, federal and provincial, so I am going to be busy (www.fairvotecalgary.ca)

I find that smaller nudist resorts are more fun to visit. The people there are more likely to interact with you, conversationally. The ones at the bigger resorts, with some exceptions are quite clique-ish. So, put me down for small resorts as my favorites.

Paya Bay is remote enough and small enough that being "overrun" probably means something like 16 guests!

Mrs Steady and I loved our visit to Paya Bay!! Beautiful beach, quaint rooms, great service and the property has great trails for nude walks !! Sending a week with ND and his Mrs also helped make this one of our best nude vacations!!
On the topic of nude walks. I'm looking for suggestions on a place to be nude all the time and go for long nude hikes!

One by one my favorite resorts seem to be going away. A nice place on the north shore of the Dominican Republic got bought up by The Resort That Shall Not Be Named and now hosts 'lifestyle' groups. Sorobon on Bonaire closed before I ever got there. Club Orient is down for the count, and I doubt it will be back in business any time soon, if ever. The venerable Terra Cotta Inn closed. Living Waters Spa is up for sale, and who knows what new ownership might mean there? And now I hear that the wonderful Playa Sonrisa is also for sale.
Maybe I'm too pessimistic. To be fair, Terra Cotta has been reincarnated in a different location. But on balance, it looks like we're losing more resorts than we're gaining. Does anyone have some good news?

I'm with Warmskin on this.
My wife and I just got back from a week end at Turtle Lake Resort; which is a huuuge resort - maybe the hugest I've visited yet. My wife preferred it over the other nudist venues we've visited - in terms of space and amenities. The cliquishness, however, got a little to both of us.
When we went to Sunny Haven, I had a lot more fun even though it's a fraction of the size of TLR. And in my previous life in the South, I was definitely more fond of rustic resorts. People just talk to each other - probably simply due to the smaller environment. We met and chatted for a bit with 2 couples all in all at TLR. At SH, we pretty much talked with everyone around us through the entire day.
If it was just up to me we'd stick with the rustic resort...but since the wifey still really liked TLR I guess we'll have to balance it out

The Prof and I are opposites in many, many ways. Introvert/Extrovert, shy and quiet/private, friendly not that quiet and open. I like to visit places where we get to know people, roam the pool deck, attend events and functions but she's content with sitting alone poolside and not having too many people come over to visit. I don't mind the big resorts, she prefers the smaller resorts. We compromise and visit both.
One thing we are also opposites on with regards to resorts; rustic vs upscale. She prefers upscale. She likes all the amenities, restaurants, bars, nice bathrooms and shower areas, multiple pools so you find one that suits your taste. At larger resorts, the Prof is able to blend into the crowd and not stick our or bring attention to herself. I prefer the more rustic because of the people that tend to visit them. They just seem more friendly. It's more intimate and you get to know people better and make closer friendships.
We belong to a large local club and visit as often as we can. It has lots of events, parties, dances, live music and hosts AANR Gatherings from time to time. That's all fine and good but I actually prefer visiting a resort that's about twice the distance away and is more rustic. It's up in the hills and is nudist family owned and operated resort. The people are just friendlier there than at our club. Even the weekend crowd is a bit less party types at the rustic club than at our club.
I don't mind partying. I enjoy it and so does my wife but in contrast, our club's weekend crowd can get out of control, loud, obnoxious and drink way too much. At the more rustic club, they party but seem to remain in control and though they also can get loud, it's not as obnoxious as it can get at our club. Needless to say, we don't visit our club during the weekends.
We've visited many large nudist resorts all over the US and some in Europe, Mexico and the Caribbean. Our fav is in the Caribbean but was destroyed by Hurricane Irma (Club O). Our local resorts are smaller and strangely, my wife's favorite place to go, be nude, interact with other guests and spend multiple days is a place with one 26 guest rooms. So as you can see, we don't always agree or make sense but one thing is certain, I appreciate that she's a willing participant in this lifestyle with me.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!
