New York Times article on nude vacations

A few weeks ago, The New York Times had an article about upscale nudist resorts. We were one of the 5 nudist resorts mentioned in the article. All of the nudist resorts that were mentioned operate very differently. One thing that I have noticed is people assume all clothing optional and nudist resorts are the same. They most certainly are not! For instance here in Palm Springs, we cater to couples on vacation. I can not tell you how many times we have had people book another nude place here in Palm Springs midweek because we were full and then come to our place for day use as they wrongly assumed the other places were busy midweek like us.In a letter to the editor at the New York Times, a reader writes that the NYT article was wrong with its statement "nude resorts don't pressure guests to strip." (Actually the NYT made another big error in its article by listing a swinger hotel as a nudist resort thinking they ae the same thing). The reader then proceeds to say that she was told to strip at the Grand Lido Braco in Jamaica or leave the nude beach.I have found that our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort in Palm Springs is one of the few nudist resorts in the world that caters to women making first timers feel very comfortable, especailly the women. The old saying "happy wife, happy life" is very true. If the wife is not comfortable at a nudist resort, the couple will never come back. This is one of the reasons we have been called the most mainstream nudist resort in America.Here is her letter to the editor:"To the Editor: I differ with your statement that “nude resorts don’t pressure guests to strip.” On our third trip to Grand Lido Braco, in Jamaica, while on the nude side of the beach I was asked to strip or leave the beach. So, I sat with my towel around me and never entered the water. Why was I there? My husband enjoys nude beaches and I don’t. Topless I can put up with, but I prefer not to be bottomless. We will not return to this resort and will check carefully before booking at any resort that says it has a nude beach. Clearly clothing optional” and “nude beach” may be two very different things."To see the article click hereNot all nudist resorts are the same, and no other nudist resorts are as popular as us. We average just over a 75% repeat guest rate.So if you have ever been thinking of vacationing at a luxurious clothing optional resort, now is the time.
