Q: Who are my hosts at Coral Reef Guesthouse? A: Frank Hagerty and are delighted to welcome you to Fort Lauderdale. Q: What is your clothing-optional policy? A: All areas are clothing-optional, except the
office and our
breakfast room. Q: What is the Coral Reef Guesthouse property like? A: Our Florida-tropical property consists of three, white-roofed pavilions: an
office/
kitchen structure, and two single-story
guestroom buildings with continuous, covered front porches. All buildings cloister around a sunny, paver-brick
courtyard with a roomy free-form
pool and twelve-man
Jacuzzi. Greenery, palms, and flowers abound. Usually, orchids are in bloom, too. We offer eight
guestrooms, ranging from Standard to an Elite
Suite with it's own, private yard. Most
rooms open onto the shaded porches along the
courtyard and
pool, offering cross ventilation as the season permits. Q: Who Stays at Coral Reef? A: Our clientele is a mix of professional gay males who drive up from Miami or travel all the way from Burgundy (France). They hail from Atlanta, New York, California, and Quebec, as well as points further and in-between. Visitors range in age from late-20s to 60-something, most falling somewhere in the middle. Q: How close are you to the beach and the
airport? A: Fort Lauderdale's famous, miles-long, public beach lies about a 5 minute drive due east of us. Sebastian Street, the gay beach, is another 5 minutes south along Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard. Or, take a romantic sunset stroll over beachside, along beautiful Sunrise Boulevard and across the boat-filled Intracoastal Waterway. (About 15 minutes by foot.) We also offer a limited number of complimentary bicycles for getting around. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport is 7 miles south 15 to 20 minutes depending on time of day, and about a $25 cab ride. Miami International
Airport is 30 miles south - 40 to 55 minutes, and about $70 by cab. Q: Do you have a
pool and
Jacuzzi? A: Our beautiful, large, free-form heated
pool nestles together with a generous, pristine, twelve-man
Jacuzzi, under full sunshine and starlight. Clothing is always optional Q: How far are you from nightlife and entertainment? A: All of Fort Lauderdale's gay nightlife is within a 5 to 15-minute drive from the Coral Reef Guesthouse. So are theaters,
restaurants of all types,
coffee bars, museums, historic sights, Hugh Taylor Birch State Recreation Area, The Broward
Center for the Performing Arts, and the scene on Las Olas. Even closer, and within walking distance, are the Sunrise Harbor
Shops, Gateway Shopping
Center with several popular
restaurants, and the Galleria Mall, with top-notch department stores and a variety of eateries. Miami Beach is less than an hour's drive, and Palm Beach, about an hour and fifteen minutes. Q: Do you have
parking? A: Yes, a number of privately designated spots are available directly in front of the guesthouse, off the street. Q: Do you serve meals? A: We serve a generous, extended continental
breakfast every morning and offer midday snacks from our small,
pool-facing
kitchen facilities. There's also
coffee, cold beverages, and a microwave. We do not provide hot-meal service. However,
Studio Suites and the Elite
Suite have their own, full
kitchens. Q: Is there
computer access? A: We have a
24-hour guest
internet computer station by our
kitchen facilities, with
printer access. (Yes! You can print your boarding passes in advance!) Also,
wireless service covers the
pool courtyard and
poolside rooms. Q: Is there
Fax and private
phone service? A: Each
room has a
phone and data port with free local calling and
voicemail. Guests can receive
phone calls provided your caller knows your 3 digit
room number. During
business hours, guests may send and receive
faxes through the
office. Q: Do you allow pets? A: We do love animals, but regretfully cannot accept pets as guests. Q: What is your smoking policy? A: All
rooms are
non-smoking. Smoking is permitted only in designated outside areas. Q: What is Stingray? A: See an entirely different Fort Lauderdale from the city's beautiful waterways on. our own, private, 58-foot, Vintage Wooden Cruiser. Gorgeous waterfront estates and the dramatic downtown skyline are just a few of the delightful sights. (Weekends, weather and schedule permitting. Complimentary.) Q: Can you help us celebrate a special occasion? A: We'd love to reserve a romantic
dinner for you or set up flowers and champagne in your
room, for your arrival or during your stay! Let us know what you have in mind. Specific details and appropriate lead time are appreciated, and additional fees may apply, depending on services requested. Come celebrate with us!
