Minimal to none (under 5 minutes) for overnight hotel arrivals. Check-in begins at 3:00 PM; Check-out is by 11:00 AM.
Best time to stay
Saturday afternoons (12:00 PM – 5:00 PM) for packed poolside socializing, or any weekend night when they are hosting a flagship, world-class theme party like the legendary Cumunion or Western Xposure events
Guest mix
Strictly adults-only (21+). An incredibly diverse, body-positive, and uninhibited crowd primarily consisting of gay, bisexual, and queer men, bear subcultures, kink enthusiasts, and sex-positive travelers.
Dress expectations
Intensely liberating. While clothing is fully optional across the entire outdoor perimeter, pool, and bar areas, the "dress code" consists mostly of swim trunks, jockstraps, underwear, harnesses, or complete nudity. Valid physical photo IDs are strictly required for entry.
Staff inclusion
Warmly supportive, diverse, and highly accommodating. The 24-hour front desk, security teams, and bartenders are deeply entrenched in the queer community.
