Caliente suits couples and singles who want a lifestyle resort with a party calendar, and who know that is what they are booking. It is not a naturist club and not a place for families. Nudists looking for a quieter scene nearby should look at Lake Como instead.

What sets it apart

Size and entertainment. The pool complex centers on a quarter-acre lagoon pool with a waterfall, plus two water-volleyball pools, a conversation pool and a tiki pool. There is a dining room, tiki bar, sports bar and nightclub with themed nights, a sauna, steam room and oversized hot tub, pickleball and tennis, a 24-hour gym, sand volleyball, a yoga room and a two-mile walking trail.

The resort does not publish a formal clothing policy. Its own posts describe clothing-optional vacations and nude swimming, and it presents itself as a lifestyle club.

Rooms

Hotel rooms have a king bed, a mirrored ceiling, a mini-fridge, a microwave and a balcony over the amenities. One-bedroom condos (750 sq ft) and two-bedroom condos (1,128 sq ft) have full kitchens, and casitas of 540 sq ft or more have a separate bedroom and a patio. Tripadvisor lists 105 rooms. Check-in is 4:30 pm and checkout 10:30 am, with no late checkout on Fridays or Saturdays.

Day passes

  • Guests must be 21 or older, and a valid government ID is needed both to buy a pass and to enter.
  • Couples and single women can buy online; single men can buy only in person at the front gate.
  • Couples must arrive together to use a couples’ pass. Passes are open-dated.
  • No coolers, outside food or drink, or speakers. Pool towels are for overnight guests only.

Prices appear at checkout rather than on the policy page.

How it compares

Choose Paradise Lakes only after reading its recent reviews; it publishes few rules or prices. For nudism without a lifestyle scene, Lake Como nearby or Cypress Cove near Orlando are the alternatives.
