TripAdvisor is a pretty reliable source, using an extensive database of tourist responses and special ratings based on users’ estimates.

Donald Sprigg, 62, who admits regularly stripping off to tend his garden, is facing three charges of outraging public decency. 
His actions are said to have caused “harassment, alarm or distress” to residents close to his home in Cirencester, Gloucs.
But Sprigg says he only gardens in the nude when he knows his near neighbors are away.
He claims that complaints came from residents 150 yards away – who filmed him from their balcony using long-distance lens.
His solicitor Mohammed Iqbal told Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court: “He says he has acted lawfully at all times and taken reasonable care to ensure no one would see him and be offended by his actions.”
Sprigg pleaded not guilty to all three charges and was bailed to stand trial on June 20.

One amenity that gay Fort Lauderdale’s Cabanas Guesthouse & Spa offers is the use of kayaks.
Kayaking is easy to learn, a challenging exercise and a social activity all rolled in to one.
To move the kayak at approximately 5mph requires about 0.1 hp of effort. Basically, all that means is that you’re going to use up about 40 calories per hour. Four hours of kayaking burns almost 1600 calories!
Paddling is a great way to incorporate every muscle in your upper body, and some lower body muscles, into one workout. This allows you to tone almost every muscle in your body.
Beyond the physical benefits of kayaking, this is a stress relieving sport also. Watching your own boat move by your own effort is relaxing and rewarding. Some people believe that time outside in nature does a body good. You don’t get much closer to nature than floating in the water under the sky.
The Cabanas does not charge its guests to use the kayaks and they also provide life preservers.

As we roll into the month of August in South Florida, things really begin to get hot – and we’re not just speakng about the weather. There’s so much to do in Fort Lauderdale for tourists and natives alike, regardless of the season, age, or sexual orientation. With August being one of the hotter months, is the ultimate time to take advantage of some of the more unique activities Fort Lauerdale has to offer such as boat rentals/tubing, scuba diving, wave runner rentals, speed boat rides, para-sailing and more.
Within recent years, Fort Lauderdale itself has grown into what may seem to be no less than one giant gay resort. 
Fort Lauderdale’s gay scene, or as many call it Gay Fort Lauderdale, is flourishing with gay-friendly everything – from bars and nightclubs to shopping, fine dinning and resorts – many specifically tailored to the gay lifestyle. Even those which are not specifically “gay oriented” often boast themelves as “welcoming all lifestyles” as in Fort Lauderdale there seems to be no “norm”.
The neighboring city of Wilton Manors (the gayborhood) is about 2 miles from the beach and loaded with a concentration of LGBT focused businesses and venues. A quick trip through Wilton Manors on any given weekend may leave you with the impression that you’ve slipped into a gay-only fantasy world, often one which may cause you to cringe at the simple thought of leaving, and for good reason. Did you forget to pack swim trunks in your suitcase?? No probem, you can always stop at Gay Mart and pick up another pair. Got munchies after a long night of clubbing at RamRod or other gay bars along the strip? Stop at Humpy’s Pizza at 1:45a.m. for great Pizza & Panini. And the list goes on and on.
It’s quite shocking, not to mention very satisfying to discover a whole culture of LGBT couples and individuals, all gathered into one beautiful area…. Have you died and gone to heaven?? No, you’re just gay in Fort Lauderdale.

The Manor is located on Wilton Drive and is a complete multi-level food and entertainment complex unlike anything else this area. The Manor features a lounge, a nightclub, a martini bar, a banquet/meeting facility, a coffee shop and restaurant and is using a totally remodeled space that was previously Flowers Restaurant and its neighbors. An entire second floor has been added to the building.
The Manor is the brainchild of prominent businessmen and real estate developers, Paul Hugo and Brett Tannenbaum. Hugo’s previous nightclubs locally included 825 and The Saint. Together they were responsible for the Coliseum nightclub and they owned several restaurants in the area.
Along with Hugo and Tannenbaum, the management team consists of Gary Santis and Jason Tamanini.
Santis is a nightclub and promotions guru who got his start twenty years ago in the famed Warsaw Ballroom on South Beach. He moved to Fort Lauderdale where he propelled nightclubs like The Saint, Pier, Coliseum and JetSet to mega-club status and the trend-setting establishments of their time. Santis also promoted the weekly Sunday event at VooDoo Lounge, “Babylon T-Dance” for years and owns and promotes two of the largest annual gay events in Fort Lauderdale: “The White Fort Lauderdale Event” and “The Black Fort Lauderdale Event”.
Working with Santis will be Jason Tamanini as Operations Director who will be responsible for ensuring that the “consumer experience” is second to none in all areas of the complex. Together they will be designing and bringing to life fresh innovative events and concepts.
Tamanini was part of the food and beverage team at the Trump Taj-Mahal in Atlantic City, worked in several restaurants in the area and became general manager of China White Lounge in Fort Lauderdale. Most recently Tamanini was managing South Beach’s Halo Lounge on Lincoln Road and has been responsible for overseeing the Halo Lounge in Washington, D.C.
Chef Brent M. Sick takes over as culinary master for The Manor. Chef Brent is a graduate of the prestigious International Culinary Institute of Pennsylvania. He moved to South Florida from Orlando where he was executive chef of two of American’s top ten busiest restaurants in the country, Fulton’s Crab House and Wolfgang Puck’s in Downtown Disney.
The chef plans to bring some of his signature offerings to The Manor. “Conceptually, I re-created the restaurant’s unique atmosphere through the house and tapas menus,” he said. “It has a little bit of some of the best things I have done running some of the most successful restaurants in the United States. I am very, very excited to be a key player in such a new and ambitious season for South Florida, Fort Lauderdale, and more importantly, Wilton Manors.”
Inside The Manor, you’ll be able to enjoy:
The York Restaurant – a bright and vibrant restaurant as exciting as its food. People-watching will be available outside on the Alfresco Colonnade which will be perfect for casual dining. Inside will be a crisp-chic casual experience complete with a baby grand piano. Whether dining inside or out, The Manor is promising outstanding food and service.
The Windsor Martini Bar will be the perfect place to enjoy classic martinis along with the latest trend in blended martinis. The servers are being specially trained by global martini experts to produce amazing handcrafted cocktails. Perfect for meeting someone and enjoying a cocktail before or after dinner.
Coffee Talk is the coffee shop that will be offering a selection of exceptional desserts, gelatos, quality roasted coffees, cappuccinos, espressos, teas and after-dining cordials throughout the day or evening. Free wi-fi Internet will be available.
The Epic Nightclub is a combination of vintage style and cosmopolitan sophistication. This two-level nightclub has four chandeliers, a covered outside arcade with a Polynesian flavor, a large performance stage and the best lighting and sound system available anywhere. There is also a VIP room for guests looking to go the extra mile.
The Ivy Lounge and Patio will host a variety of musical stylings throughout the week. Ever-changing soothing lights illuminate the ceiling. The room is also used as banquet facility offering complete catering and beverage service for private affairs.
