Worthington Resort - The Grand Resort & Spa

The place has really gone downhill. The new management doesn’t seem to give a hoot about guest satisfaction. They don’t even answer an email. Even after calling twice about how they didn’t answer it ! They used to have a seven day a week hot breakfast. Now it’s supposed to be three days a week, but two of the three days, they didn’t even have eggs. They just said we’re out. FYI, there’s a grocery store five minutes away. No excuse for this. They used to have a fun happy hour for the guests a couple days a week with free drinks and snacks. Now that’s gone and replaced by a very overpriced bar. They used to have free parking, but now they charge for that. They used to not have a resort fee, but now they have that. The rooms are nothing special. It’s really not a good value at all. Sa

I don’t know how this place was run before it was sold, but it’s nothing like advertised. Clothing optional? Technically, yes — but only in two small, confined areas. That’s it. You have to stay dressed until you get to those spots, and if you need to go to your room or the restroom, you have to get dressed again. Not exactly enjoyable and good for people watching/socializing. All-male resort? Not really. When someone who has transitioned from male to female is allowed entry, that means she is a WOMAN. No disrespect intended — good for her for having the courage to live as her true self. But if you’re identifying and presenting as a woman, you shouldn’t be using male-only facilities. You can’t have it both ways. And it didn’t stop there — she was even allowed to bring additional female

I stayed in room V18 from Saturday March 15 to Wednesday March 19th. Went for vacation. |Likes:|*Room has a full kitchen ( less an oven, but does have a convection oven). This came in handy as it was during spring break and all of the restaurants were packed. |There is a grocery store and liqour stores close by as well, not walking distance. |*The property and rooms were beautifully maintained ( except a little rust on the |refridgerator and a small crack in the table - just my disclaimer) .|* The suanas and pools were plentiful and super nice. |* The staff were outstanding, everyone of them went out of their way to help us. |* Parking on site ( however you have to pay for it ) |* Location: close to beach ( walking close) and Uber is easy to get , very safe and clean area|* The guests tha

We've been staying here 3-4 times a year for over 13 years, and this was only our second visit since the sale. The first visit after the sale was extremely disappointing and we did return to Ft Lauderdale since, but stayed at other hotels. We decided to give this place another opportunity and unfortunately, our recent experience was disappointing as well. While the property is still clean, the overall atmosphere has changed significantly. The grounds now feel “too sterile” and lack the warm, inviting, small-business vibe we once loved. In the past, we’d see team members around at all hours, making the place feel more homey and cared for. This time, staff presence was virtually nonexistent, and the place felt abandoned. It was also noticeably less busy — less than half full — whereas ever

I've stayed at the Worthington about 15 times since 2013. It was one of my favorite men's clothing optional hotels before 2022. Since the new owners took over in 2022, the prices doubled and occupancy is half of what it was. It used to be a lively place with every room sold out every night during high season, which meant lots of fun socializing at the pools and hot tubs. Now, the place is half empty mid-week during winter high-season, yet the prices are twice what they used to be PLUS resort fee PLUS parking fee. My most recent stay was mid-week in January 2025, and I just can't justify going back to a half-empty hotel with all those fees. There are plenty of other men's clothing optional hotels in Ft Lauderdale/Wilton Manors that don't have fee after fee.
