Want to be a CABANA’S BOY?

Do you have what it takes to be a Cabana’s Boy?

Each year at The Cabana’s Guesthouse & Spa, we look for some of the sexiest gay men. We then tag them as our “boys”, allowing them to frolic and play all over our gay clothing optional resort, while being photographed by world famous photographer Vim Kruger. Kruger’s shots are then used to update our website and contribute to other promotional items for The Cabanas.

This year, we are encouraging all of our readers and valued guests, both past and present, to participate in our next Cabana Boy (uh and clearly “man”) contest.  We are already planning the next photo shoot in the upcoming months and we’re inviting YOU to let us know if you think you’re one of our men for 2011!

That’s correct – you could be invited to The Cabanas Guesthouse and Spa in sunny Fort Lauderdale for a complimentary stay and inclusion in a professional photo shoot; not to mention a shot at becoming the 2011 Cabana Boy! If you or someone you know thinks you’ve got what it takes, send us an email at cabanaboycontest@thecabanasguesthouse.com with your photo, a brief description, and a link to your facebook or twitter or any other social network if you have them.

Tell us what you love about The Cabanas and why we should consider you as a candidate. We will be reviewing all submitted emails and if we decide that you’re Cabana Boy material, you just might be on your way to Fort Lauderdale for a stay at The Cabanas – on us!

Our guests at The Cabanas Guesthouse and Spa come from all over the world.  If you’ve never been here, you’ll find that our all male gay resort and spa provides endless amenities and is the only one of its type in Wilton Manors, the heart of Gay Fort Lauderdale. The Cabanas Guesthouse and Spa is well known for attracting and embracing the diversity that has made gay male culture so unique. So don’t think we’re just looking for a particular type of guy to represent our resort.  As you can see from 2009, we love you all. 

Warm Sunny Winter has Returned to South Florida

After a seemingly endless (OK, it was only 8 days) and not to mention record setting cold spell in South Florida, the beautiful warm weather is back. The first two weeks of January surprised many South Floridians who are used to day after day of sunny skies and average daily winter temperatures running between 75-80 degrees. Furthermore, while everyone north of this sub tropical paradise had little symapthy for local cries from thin skin native Floridians, the 8 days of temperatures dropping into the 30’s was so far below average that many of us were considering packing up and moving to Florida – untill we realized we were already here.

Needless to say, the bears (as well as the leather men, muscle boys, etc..) have come out of hibernation. The tourist season (among other things, if you know what we mean) is back in full swing and the forecast is sunny and warm from here on out…. Well at least for South Florida.

While the rest of the country is enjoying arctic winds, freezing temperatures and piles of dirty, dirty snow, sadly the coldest thing available in South Florida is a frozen Margarita on the beach. Just terrible isn’t it?

So, for those of you in the rest of the country who are suffering from cabin fever, it’s time to exchange your snow shoveling, sidewalk salting, windshield-ice-chipping-duties for a relaxing, rejuvenating, tropical getaway.

If you can make it down before the end of January, consider taking advantage of our weekday stay at The Cabanas Guesthouse and Spa with rates starting at only $119 per night. For more information, reservations or availability, call toll free (866) 564-7764 or (954) 564-7764.

We even checked flights from most major airports in all the cold areas and found prices as low as $180 round trip with little advance notification. Visit www.kayak.com to find flights from your area.

If you’re planning a trip down after this month, now is the time to make your reservations. Rooms are booking fast at this premeir winter getaway and are expected to fill quickly.

The Cabanas sits on a secluded waterfront property in the Wilton Manors area of Fort Lauderdale. Famous for its private and friendly gay clothing-optional setting, The Cabanas offers unique hospitality and service that is unmatched in comparison to other gay mens resorts. Perfectly located between the Wilton Manors Strip and Fort Lauderdale Beach, there’s nothing that can’t be easily accessed. Dining, nightlife, shopping and more, Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors have everything and anything you need for a perfect winter getaway. If you’ve never stayed at The Cabanas, we’re confident that you’ll come as a visitor and return as a friend.

“Definately will be coming back and definately highly recommed this place, and believe me we are not easily impressed!”

“I love Fort Lauderdale. I love this staff. I love The Cabanas. John, Bill, David – I feel like they have, over the years, evolved from owners/staff to friends. A great feeling that is, too.”

Thank you to John and David Our Hosts. We will definately be back.”

“When we think of planning a vacation to FTL, our first thought is The Cabanas.”

“Once you stay at the Cabanas in Wilton Manors, I guarantee you will never want to stay anywhere else in Fort Lauderdale!”

“The Cabanas is to be highly recommended to the discerning gay traveller. John and his staff run a great ship and take wonderful care of their guests and their comfort.”
