“Unbelievable”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

I booked a room at the Ybor spa and resort Feb 8th thru 10th on that Friday evening the 8th I had another guest come up to me and start yelling for no reason. He actually got as far as to push my shoulder back. When I told the midnight desk clerk all he said was that is probably how he talks and did not mean anything by it and walked away. Feb. 23 I again booked a room and the noise and banging on the wall into my room from the room next to me went on into 3 am. I gathered my stuff and left for home in the middle of the night and took the $90.00 as a lose that I spent for the room, for at this point I could see that this establishment was full of guest on meth and other substances. When I checked out I again told the front desk clerk about the noise and that I would not be back ever. He in turn said we don't care and walked away. What a horrible display of customer service. This spa and resort is not at all for descent folk wanting a weekend get away!

“What a Pleasant Surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 4, 2012

As a hotel, I would give this property 3 stars. As a Bathhouse/Sex Resort, this place gets the AAA Five Diamond Award! I stayed in a downstairs room in July. There were about 150 guys wandering the halls and upstairs "play" areas until 6am! There was a dark room w a maze, a sauna, a steam room and a HUGE 30 person hot tub/pool. We have 3 bathhouses in Denver, but nothing like this! Parking was a drawback, but the front desk guy showed me a great garage about a block away to park in. I would certainly stay they again.

“Joint is shaping up alittle more each month”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2012

3 to 20 Chatty or playful guys of all types. Stay 3-4 hours for the eb & flow. Park no closer than 30' to any Ybor drive way. Unlimited free parking may be found north of Palm Avenue when local students aren't in session. Friday & Sat evening these spaces would be quickly taken. Take a microwave dinner in for a heat-up so to enjoy the atmospheric tropical patio overlooking 20 man Jacuzzi. The nice guy who lovingly takes care of all the plants must be there pruning twice a month.

Room Tip: No experience with the 'hotel rooms' but half of them have windo to tropical patio. All hote...
