1st Timer's 1/2 Day Review

by ARCumming

I have always wanted to attend a nudist resort, just to see what it would be like. My Wife expressed an interest but wasn't sure she would actually take her clothes off. We had a Friday off together and the "clothing optional" part was enough to get her to go.

First timers sign in at the office filling out a form so they have some idea of who you are. The office staff was very polite and answered all of our questions. We parked our car and noticed an unclothed man walking toward what we found was the entrance to the pool.

We kept our bathing suits on and brought our beach bag with towels and suntan lotion with us. It is not permitted to bring drinks or coolers into the pool area but that really isn't a problem (I'll explain soon).

Men and Women of all shapes and sizes were sunning, swimming, talking, and laughing.

There are two pools and two Hot Tubs in the main area. One hot tub is indoors and because it was so hot out, seemed to be unused. The Main pool has a depth of 5.5 ft. so people hung out on the edges socializing. The smaller pool is a "Conversation Pool" for Adults who want to socialize.

The Tiki Bar serves all kinds of drinks from full liquor to sodas. The prices are very reasonable so not being able to bring our own was not a problem. I decided that having a bathing suit on actually felt wrong so I took it off and applied sunscreen to be safe. My Wife was more reserved and wasn't convinced. The sun was hot and I went up to get us some drinks. When I came back my wife had removed her clothes. You just feel like it's OK to leave that stigma behind when there are so many other people doing it.

One other thing you should have is pool shoes, or sandals, flip flops. The concrete will burn your feet on a hot day.

The 3 hours we spent there flew by. If we hadn't had a later commitment to attend, I'm sure that we wouldn't have left. We're looking forward to the next time and we'll sample more of what this fabulous place has to offer.

If you are questioning whether this is right for you, I can honestly say that this is one of the best low pressure environments you could possibly go to.

• Pros: No pressure, incredible sense of freedom...
• Cons: We're not living there...

Great People and Great Place

by TimTim2

The staff is great, but it is the residents of the community that make it fantastic. On our first visit we were invited to a private brunch at a condo, we were welcomed in like regulars. The pool area is just such a relaxing and chill environment, but again it is the residents and regulars that make it so comfortable and welcoming. This is the most friendly and warm group of people I've ever experienced.

• Pros: Incredible Value on the Condos
• Cons: I can't get there more often!

Truely Paradise

by cjcincy

Upon arrival the first smiling faces you'll see is either Sylvia or Sarah in the office at check in. They will happily answer ANY questions that you'd have. They will make you feel so comfortable that you can't wait to drive throught those gates into Paradise!!

We have no experience in the condos, motel rooms or the platform tents, because we have a travel trailer and camp in Sunny Circle most of the time.

There are updated pads, water and electric hookups are more than adaqute to handle even the largest RV. They are working very hard to complete many projects at the Valley.

The staff is the BEST, they will stop and talk to you, give you a smile, and answer any questions, or address ANY concerns that you may come across.

The grounds are well kept, the pools and hot tubs are well maintained. The parties are fun, you'll be surprised at how excepting everyone is, it's truly a nonjudgemental place.

Some of the DJ's need to update their selections but just ask and they will try.

The only draw back is that the Valley is becoming so popular that they can't keep enough available chairs at the pool. They are trying very hard!!

The Tiki Bar and observation deck, new RV sites, new road to New Condos, Platform tents, are the latest updates that the "New" owners have completed, they have some real neat ideas for the future of the Valley. Come and see for yourself.

• Pros: 45 mins to 1 hr. to stress free weekends
• Cons: That you have to go back to the "real world"
