Fort Lauderdale

Folks, know this has been brought up before but would

appreciate your assist. If visiting Fort Lauderdale,

what gay lodging would you recommend. Thanks, Rocky

Wilton Manors is the main gay area as far as bars, restaurants and shops, but I don't know what kind of lodging is there. Someone else on here will.

 

But a couple miles away, on the beach, there is a little enclave of gay 'resorts'. Think Best Western with a fence around it to keep interlopers out. The biggest of these is the Elysium. It's friendly, the pools (two of 'em!) and jacuzzi are clothing optional, they set out cold breakfast foods in the morning and have a free cocktail hour early Saturday evening, and offer free wireless connectivity. You do care that it's the biggest (close to 40 rooms) because a lot of your socializing will be done at the resort itself, at the pool by day or in the jacuzzi at night. The more guests, the more likely you are to fit into some sub-group you like. I'm not crazy about their smallest rooms ('guest room'), but $20 more gets you a bigger room ('studio') with a decent kitchen, writing table, and more space. http://www.elysiumresort.net

 

You didn't ask, but you'll need a car down there too.

I've stayed several times at [a href=http://www.royalpalms.com]Royal Palms[/a] and would highly recommend it. It has been rated best gay guest house for several years.

I've stayed at the Elysium many times and enjoyed it a great deal.

Friendly atmosphere, not much attitude.

Unfortunately, the gay bars are all at a distance from the beach and other places to stay. So, unles you want to drive after drinking, in and unfamiliar city, you must rely on taxis.

[Kevin Slater]

There's also some gay taxi or van service that people seem impressed with. I've never used it, but I think you pay maybe $20 and it'll schlep you along to all the bars or hotels all night long. Maybe it just runs a continual loop or something. They'll have a flier for it at the front desk of any gay hotel. But you'll still want a car for you daytime excursions.
