YourPalPete's Profile

This is not a gay hotel, but it is VERY gay friendly. Given its location, many of the guests are gay. The rooms are nicely furnished and the hotel is very clean. Employees are polite and friendly. The hotel's restaurant is convenient for breakfast (or whatever), but it isn't very exciting. Room prices are excellent. The huge draw for my parnter and me was the location. We could walk out the back door and be at Campus or Stock Bar in minutes. Or we could walk out to one of the hip, reasonably priced restaurants on Rue Ste. Catherine. We would definitely return to the Gouverneur.

My partner and I have been to Shame on the Moon three times and it has always been a pleasure. All three times I enjoyed beautifully seasoned pasta dishes, and my partner marvelled about his well-prepared seafood. The host or hostess welcomed us as if we were guests in their home. The waitstaff were charming, helpful and non-intrusive. Be sure to call for a reservation, because this restaurant fills up fast. For a special treat, ask to be seated in the Garden Room, which has a lovely romantic and intimate atmosphere.

Blame it on Midnight is both a restaurant and a bar, but more space is devoted to the restaurant section. My partner and I have been here four times with other gay couples. Since I am a pasta lover, I always try their newest pasta dish. When we were here last week, I tried the penne pasta with blackened chicken, and it was wonderful! My partner and our friends usually choose a seafood or chicken entree, and they have always been happy with their choices. The clientele is mixed gay and straight, but the waitstaff is predominantly gay. Reservations are accepted only for parties of 6 or more.

There is a great variety of dancers at Campus. Definitely something for every taste. The night dancers tend to be beefier than the day dancers, if that helps you to pick the time that is appropriate for you. Campus has a ladies' night on Sunday (from 9 PM to 3 AM), so I prefer to stay away then. Note: before you agree to a private dance, be sure to talk to the dancer about what is permissible when you get in the back.

My partner and I have been to Stock Bar several times, and we always have a great time. Before you go for a private dance, be sure to ask the dancer what he is willing to do, so you aren't surprised when you get to the back. To be clear, this is a venue that is geared toward gay men. Most of the dancers are gay, but some may be straight. If that bothers you and you want to know, just ask them. The straight ones usually like to talk about their girlfriends.

I've been here with my partner three times and we both LOVE the atmosphere! That's really the big draw. The menu is fairly extensive from their signature burgers to other sandwiches to salads and full entrees. And delicious looking desserts. The burgers are excellent. The salads were not bad, but not exciting. I can't comment on the other food, since we haven't tried it. But I would definitely recommend Hamburger Mary's for their famous burgers and for the great atmosphere!

This place is seriously hot! I've been here several times, and I will definitely return next time I'm in Key West. The dancers are hot, sexy and very flirtatious! I get dizzy when I think about some of the private dances I had here!!! If you like go-go boys, then set aside an evening for Kwest.

Guys, before you decide to go, keep in mind that there is a cover charge (which includes a drink). Also keep in mind that some of the dancers are straight. I was able to tell in most cases if they were gay or straight, but when I was in doubt I just asked them. I prefer to tip the gay guys. Some of the dancers are hot and some are not. If they are persistent, don't be afraid to tell them that you're not interested--they are working for tips, and if you aren't interested, they don't want to waste their time. Overall, I think this is a fun place, and I will definitely return.

I have to agree with the review right below me. Back in its old location, this placed rocked! I loved being outside under the stars on a warm Waikiki night. But something happened when they moved. Not only is there no outdoor area in the new location, but it just doesn't have the same fun, relaxed feel to it anymore. The strip shows are fine with me, but the crowd just doesn't seem very receptive to them. Hula's is worth a stop, but don't expect too much.

This is an OK beach if you are staying in Waikiki, but the gay scene is not very hot here anymore. Lots of families have discovered the beach and Kapiolani park behind it. I noticed a few gay men here the last few times I visited, but not enough to maintain its old reputation. Too bad.

I could not decide if I should give Warm Sands Villas 3 stars or 4. I opted for 4 stars mostly because of the charming management here. I have stayed here twice and every single employee treated me as if I were a guest in his home--charming and friendly and pleasant. The room I stayed in had kind of a casita feel to it. Most of the other visitors were mature men, and consequently the sexual heat level here is on the low side. The description indicates that you can enjoy the sun on the rooftop deck, but I never noticed a rooftop deck, so I am not sure about that. Overall, I had a good time, and I would recommend Warm Sands Villas to the more mature traveler who is looking for a calmer atmosphere.

The facade of InnDulge is hands-down the best look in the Warms Sands area of Palm Springs. I go out of my way to take a look every time I'm in the area. The owners are the best and friendliest of any of the gay resort operators in Palm Springs. (Some others operators need to take note!) Jean-Guy and John are always great hosts. The rooms are, in my opinion, somewhat ordinary, but always clean and neat. This resort is geared toward a more mature male traveler who is looking for a friendly atmosphere. The sexual heat level here is on the low side, which can be very appealing if you are looking for a nice calm environment.

This review is difficult for me, since All Worlds used to be among my top picks. But not anymore. It gets down to this for me: I just do not have a good time here anymore!!! It was only a couple of years ago that All Worlds was affiliated with the company that produced All Worlds Videos. Back in those days, it was not unusual to see some of the actors in those films strutting around the grounds. Sometimes they would even do filming here. Not anymore. The new (and somewhat unfriendly) owners have done some well-needed landscaping and painting. But at the same time, they have sanitized the place and taken away all of the heart and spirit of All Worlds. There are way too many security cameras that monitor your outdoor activities! No more sling, no more glory holes, no more outdoor hammock! With so many other exciting all male resorts in Palm Springs, I can no longer recommend All Worlds.

You can make yourself amazingly busy in the outdoor venues here. There is the nature trail, and then there's Danny's Dungeon (complete with a sling) and the sauna, and more. I would have given CCBC 5 stars for the hot time I had every time, but I took off a star because of the condition of the rooms. The furnishings are old and worn, and the rooms aren't as clean as they could be. But definitely go if you love outdoor action!!!

I love this place! The rooms are among the best of the gay resorts in Palm Springs. They range from Studios to Suites. I have stayed in each room category, and never had a bad room. But look, I don't go for the rooms. I go for the outdoor action. And I have never been disappointed with that! One little negative though: there is SO much hardscape inside this resort--all cement and no grass--and it can feel hotter in hot weather because of this. But I will definitely be going back!

I have stayed at Camp Palm Springs three times, and had fun each time. My favorite place is that play room at the rear of the property. There was action in there 24/7. The age range of the crowd tended to be a bit older that some of the other resorts in Palm Springs, but that was OK with me. My guess is the age range is 30s to 60s. The nude sunbathing was great, and there is lots of cruisiness all over the resort. Some rooms are equipped for slings that are available for rent. The employees were very friendly, which is important in an intimate-sized resort like this. My one caution is this: do NOT expect a room like you would get at the nearby Hyatt! The furnishings are old and worn. And the cleanliness was not the best either. So go for the outdoor fun but not for a great room!

This is my favorite place in Palm Springs for sidewalk dining. I've been here several times for lunch with my partner, but we have never had dinner here. The salads and sandwiches are unbeatable, made with delicious fresh ingredients. All of the waitstaff were excellent--polite, helpful and not intrusive. Besides salads and sandwiches, the lunch menu also includes some choices of thin-crust pizza, although we have never tried them. Ask to be seated outdoors and enjoy the view of the passersby on Palm Canyon Drive. I believe the owners of Kaiser Grille also own other restaurants, including the famous Hog Breath Inn in beautiful Carmel.
