Clothing Optional Resort AND Nude Resort, all in one place: Hidden Beach 

Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel Club and clothing optional resort is a vacation resort developed by and for nudist/naturist enthusiasts. The idea for the resort evolved from Castaways Travel's nude takeover week of El Dorado Resort kicked off by Castaways' first-ever nude flight to Cancun from Miami, Naked Air in May of 2003. (See: naked-air.com Nudity is not compulsory at the resort.

The success of Castaways first-ever El Dorado Resort takeover for Nude Week 2003 and its first-ever nude flight between Miami and Cancun were the catalysts to develop Hidden Beach as a separate but adjacent property..   Hidden Beach opened May 3, 2003 as an all-inclusive adults only nudist resort for both singles and couples. A nudist could spend a week at this property without having to put on a single piece of clothing although nudity is not required.  On the other hand, guests are welcome to enjoy swim wear if they prefer.  There's NO ONE telling you what to wear or not.

Common areas, swimming pool with swim-up bar and lazy river, the beach, sports bar, night club and fine dining restaurants service guests on-site with 10 more dining venues next door at El Dorado Resort, free for Hidden Beach guests.  Most guests enjoy the daytime nude around the pool and beach. Many guests choose clothing in the evening for dinner and dancing or dining next door.

Next Door:  If you're a guest of the Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel Club, you have full use of the facilities and restaurants at the El Dorado Seaside Suites next door. Of course, with your clothes on!

Nude Anywhere:  Besides the public areas around the pool, beach, and hot tub, the resort offers nude and clothing-optional dining at the all-inclusive restaurant on site for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Guests can also choose the terrace outside around the pool, nude bars as well as a nude disco. Most guests dress for dinner or wear a cover-up. The private beach is perfect for nude sunbathing and a variety of beach activities offer crazy fun and games. The property features one main pool connected by an artificial river to all first-floor swim-up suites. The central area of the pool contains a large swim-up bar. Towels are available throughout the property for the convenience of its guests.

Hidden Beach clothing-optional resort has a liberal policy about being nude all the time or wearing clothes or swimsuits. We have found during many visits there, most all the guests are nude during the day for sunning and dining at breakfast/lunch.

A few women may wear bikini bottoms for the time of the month. Some guests wear cover-ups for a poolside snack at the restaurant during the day; some do not. In the evening, it depends on the crowd or group there: Some dress for dinner; others do not. Since you have free visitation rights at El Dorado, some guests dress to visit other restaurants next door. Clothing and swimsuits are required at El Dorado Seaside Suites.

Adult Beverages?   Service is available throughout the premises including a liquor cabinet in each suite.

Hot Tub? Suites also feature a hot tub for two and included 24-hour room service.  Plus, a large hot tub is outside adjacent to the pool, a perfect place for happy hour in the late afernoon.

Eat and Drink Anywhere:  Guests have full all-inclusive privileges at El Dorado Resort next door including all bars, restaurants, and activities.

Who's Welcome?  Hidden Beach Resort Au Naturel Club is for guests who have nothing to hide. Both singles and couples are welcome. Guests from El Dorado are invited for a visit to check it out but must purchase a day or night pass and cannot enter Hidden Beach unannounced so staff can provide attentive service without overloading the facility.

Bottom Line: You will see some guests nude all the time at Hidden Beach; others may choose to dine while clothed all the time. So: There is no one on staff who will tell you what to wear or not wear or where to go nude. Once you're within the gates and grounds of Hidden Beach, you may be nude 24 hours/day if you choose and you may also see other guests who choose to wear clothing and a swim suit.

Improvement?  About the only improvement we wish for would be to remove the hard bottom beach floor at the shallow waters edge. Take aqua shoes to explore the beach water in front of the resort. For snorkeling with an easy beach entry and sandy bottom, put your swimsuit on and go next door to the huge beach in front of El Dorado Seaside Suites. The resort provides complimentary snorkeling gear, too.

Note: The resort has positioned itself as an intimate adult property to appeal to an upscale naturist environment where singles and couples can relax. If you're looking for more "hedonistic" activity, choose another resort. Resort management does not condone overt displays of affection or sexual misbehavior;  offending guests can be removed from the resort.
