My girlfriend and I have attended Areolas about 5 times since the summer of 2011. We typically go there during the week because we really enjoy the peace and tranquility. We have stayed the night for the weekend and it was quite pleasant. We intended on staying for the day on Friday, was invited to stay the night, and did... More

We enjoy Areola's periodically. While it IS a bit off the beaten path, we find that that is also one of its charms, as "impulse guests" are a rarity and as a result you seldom find people who have never been at a clothing optional spa and who may be uncomfortable with the human body and all of its forms....

It is sooo sad when a place you have enjoyed on several visits changes without warning! Areola's WAS a low key clothing optional experience with a nice warm outdoor pool, indoor pool(even warmer) and a staff who were pleasant although never actually welcoming or really helpful. We always overlooked the lackadaisical management style because we really enjoyed the natural hot... More

First time at a clothing optional spa and loved it. The people are so friendly and the staff are a amazing. We arived late and they left the key out for us. It felt so wonderful to relax in the spa and going swimming at 11:00 at night. We BBQ, met new freinds and hung out all day enjoying the... More

Called this morning to make sure that I could use their spa pool and was told that I couldn't arrive until noon, which was fine since I had an hour drive to get there. I was very excited to soak in the hot springs and allow my body to absorb sunshine. I got there just after noon and found the... More

Areolas Hotel and Spa is a great place to relax with friends and soak up the sun. We spent a weekend there recently with friends, old and new. The small number of rooms and the warm pool and spa contribute to the cozy and friendly atmosphere and encourage getting to know the other guests. The facility is typical of older... More

Kathy & Don made my woman and I feel so at home-we were at Aerolas for the Thanksgiving holiday and could not have made a better choice. The hotel is older but in good shape, the mineral bath & pool are sparkling clean-no chlorine that I could tell and the room was perfect. They were beyond accommodating and we sincerely... More

We are avid Tripadvisor researchers when looking for a place. We were looking for a clothing optional resort to relax and get some sun. We are not "lifestylers" so didn't want an open sex place like Sea Mountain Inn. We enjoy the sensuality of clothing optional resorts but are not into seeing sex or "hookin' up" with others. We saw... More

We are nudists and are not into alternative lifestyles or swinging, we simply enjoy relaxing in our birthday suits. We were not aware that this was a place for mate swapping until someone started grabbing me in the pool. We spent most of the afternoon laying by the pool being forced to listen/trying to ignore moaning groaning and howling from... More

We stayed at Areolas for an extended weekend for no other reason than to relax poolside naked. This was not our first trip to a nude resort, but the first time at Areolas so we really didn't know what to expect as there are only 10 reviews online. We arrived late on a Friday night. Check in was the smoothest... More
