Description

Specialties

Voted Best Gay Guesthouse & Spa, this beautiful waterfront resort is the only all male gay guesthouse that is centrally located in Wilton Manors, the heart of Gay Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Cabanas provides a secluded environment while still being just minutes away from the greatest shopping, dining, entertainment and nightlife that South Florida has to offer.

History

Established in 1999.

The Cabanas Guesthouse & Spa is proud to be locally gay owned and operated since 1999. As gay Fort Lauderdale’s premier guesthouse, we consistently strive to add amenities which set us part from the rest. Over the years, we have totally redone our entire resort from top to bottom. We’ve added a men’s day spa that caters to both guest and local residents and we are one of the few accommodations that have remained exclusively gay, all male and clothing optional.

Last minute booking and we were pleasantly surprised how nice and well kept the property is.
Very friendly staff.
The only drawback is I wish the property should have a section for smokers only, or have a no smoking allowed policy.
We will be back.

What an amazing visit. I have been to this place four times now and it keeps getting better and better. I stayed 7 nights but I had an illness at home and had to leave a night early. The owner personally was able to rent my room and offer me a refund for the one night. Where does this happen? Super clean, super safe, and there are always people to help. I have not one complaint except that I had to leave. You must check out the Cabanas. Its a gem and a rare find in these days. Thanks guys.

Just checked out of The Cabanas. Since our stay since Thursday, the staff has been nothing short of Amazing! We checked in super late Thursday and they made sure we were set up for our room as soon as we walked through the gates. From that point on, anything we ever needed, they make sure they could get it for us. If they didn’t have it on site they offered to get if so we would have it. The spa was a nice bonus as well. Both amazing massage therapists! Though I am sure everyone there are just as amazing! I know we will definitely be returning here every time we visit Fort Lauderdale!

Stayed here two nights; our first time in Fort Lauderdale. A great gay resort, close to the bars in the Wilton Drive area. Comfortable, safe and clean. Something’s showed some aging (squeaky floors and a deck needing some attention), but still had a great time. Did not care for all the road noise and construction noise when at the main pool. Host John was helpful and informative. Other guests we met were fun to talk to. A last minute stay, so when we called, two rooms were not available. But then John recommended the two bedroom/​two bath suite. It was nice. I would recommend this resort and I hope to return someday.

We had an amazing time at The Cabanas Guest House this weekend! We needed a «staycation» place and this is the best. Rooms are so clean and the grounds are well maintained. The staff could not have been nicer. Pools, hot tub and lots of relaxation! The best guest house yet!

I stayed at this guesthouse in February of 2013. This was the best guesthouse experience I have ever had. The grounds were lush, well cared for, and tropical. The rooms were very nice. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Most of the other guests were very friendly as well, and were of all ages and walks of life. The places is very private and secure. It has the privacy and secure feeling of being in a «compound» but is so relaxing and peaceful that you’d never notice. Heated pool was nice, as was the hot tub. I’ll definitely return.

We stayed at The Cabanas for a full six days. It was hte perfect place to end up after having spent the day at family gatherings… LoL. Took one of the waterfront rooms and totally liked it. Those rooms also have a semi private deck outside that we so enjoyed. Sat out there and had coffee in the morning as the sun was rising, wonderful.
Our room was ample and very comfortable. Good sheets, pillows and towels. All things I scrutinize when i stay places. A continental breakfast is nicely provided every morning for those that want it. The grounds are very tropical and very private, beautiful.
Most of the staff was very sweet, professional and accommodating. We also took advantage of the kayaks they offer for guests use. Overall we loved it at The Cabanas and look forward to our next visit there.

BEST DAY SPA FOR GAY MEN IN ALL OF FT LAUDERDALE!
While I have never stayed at the Cabanas (I am a local) they have the best day spa in town. The staff that I have dealt with (Norman, Fabio & Ernesto) have been the best. They have made me feel comfortable and welcome. I tend to be very shy about my body and I have to tell you that never in my life have I felt so comfortable about myself and being treated with such warmth and compassion. By the time my afternoon is over, I am loose, relaxed and feel like a million bucks! The property is beautiful and spotless and while I have not seen the rooms, the pool area and other public areas are a tropical paradise. I HIGHLY recommend this property if for nothing else, the spa services.

An oasis in South Florida for gay travelers.
I recently was lucky enough to stay at The CabanasGuesthouse on a trip to Florida, and found it to be a definite cut above most of the gay accomodations I have visited. Clean, bright, and nicely refurbished, the guesthouse occupies an idyllic setting along the Middle River waterfront. Many of the guestrooms have a back terrace that faces the water, with tropical palms framing the view.
But the nicest part of the Cabanas is the staff. Unlike some places that cater to the gay traveler, the owners and staff do not seem at all jaded or taking their clientele for granted. The staff was helpful and eager to go the extra distance to make sure that each guest had a great experience to write home about.
I will certainly plan on making The Cabanas my first choice whenever I come back to South Florida! Thanks for a great stay.

Just returned from a fabulous stay at The Cabanas.
It’s a beautiful property, and impeccably maintained. The staff was fantastic — so friendly, happy, and helpful. We had a waterfront room with a nice wood deck and a gorgeous view of the canal. The pools and the hot tub are lovely, and each has its own little ambiance. Great location, short cab ride or car ride to/​from the bars & restaurants.
Their breakfast was … less than stellar — cold cereals, individually packaged «convenience-​store-​style» pastries, and bananas. On the plus side, the coffee was always fresh and tasty, and there were several teas and yogurts and bottles of juice, and the kitchen, like the rest of the property, was always spotless.
If I ever return to Ft Lauderdale, I will absolutely stay here again!

Great location to the bars and restaurants. Plus the water taxi is very close by, you can take to Las Olas, Hollywood or even SOBE. The staff is very attentive witout being intrusive. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Rooms are nicely appointed, ours was on the waterfront. I would highly recommend.

The owners could not be friendlier. The grounds are well-​kept, the pool and hot tub are both quite nice. The space is fairly quiet and is a short distance to nearby clubs. (About a mile: a bit of a long walk or a short cab ride). The room was very well kept, though the bathroom was a little aged (still very clean).
I will definitely be returning for my next trip to Fort Lauderdale.
