Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Lines are virtually nonexistent, meaning you can stride right up to the reception desk. Keep in mind that your very first check-in will require a quick 5-minute pause to present your ID and activate a mandatory ANDDOS/ARCO association membership card along with the standard entry fee.
Best night
Sunday afternoons and early evenings are prime time. The entire venue transforms into a buzzing, high-energy social hub where locals and travelers flock after a long week.
Locals vs visitors
A very lively, body-positive mix of local and visiting gay, bi, and queer men, leaning heavily across generations from ages 30 to 50+ looking for genuine connection.
Dress code in practice
Stripped down and uninhibited. You’ll be assigned a private locker to shed your street clothes, trade them for a standard towel and pool slippers, and roam free in your truest form.
Staff inclusion
• Thorough and highly structured. The frontline staff keep the premises impeccably hygienic, and the venue strictly enforces rules around consent and discretion. Safe-sex resources are readily accessible around the facility.
