Paradise Lakes Resort 2001 Paradise Lakes Boulevard, Lutz, FL 33558

"We got an Airbnb for $60 a night. We had a decent walk to pool but well worth it. The weekdays seem to be dead, only saw about a dozen people the Mon-Wed that we stayed but a really fun place. Anything goes in the heated pool and hot tub after dark. Some sites to see for sure. Plan to return for a weekend event. Everyone was nice and welcoming as always even with me being a bigger person."

"We visited here several years ago and weren't crazy about this place, but people told us it had changed so we gave it another shot. It didn't seem to have changed much, the pools are nice and there are several pools. The bar is more of a lunch counter and at the New Year party they only had 3 bartenders, they made you stand in line in front of a bartender, and the lines were long all night. Our New Year's House parties were better organized and more fun. The crowd is mostly 65+ with a sprinkling of middle-agers, and a very few under 30."

"We absolutely loved our stay here. The actual hotel rooms are fairly small and very basic. But you can also rent condos and the condos we saw were beautiful. The layout of the pools and outdoor bar is great. Plenty of room and lots of lounge chairs. They have two pools just for volleyball which I thought was great. The nightclub was great and all the food we tried was delicious. We've stayed at many resorts like this and this was probably one of our favorites. Great atmosphere and energy and lots of options for various activities."

"Went for the first time this weekend. Very busy for a December Saturday. When we arrived during the sunlight hours, there were a lot of residents and almost no seats available. Once the sun started to set, the crowd thinned out dramatically, leaving a very good group of people. Not as much a resort feel, more like a timeshare where everyone knew each other. There are multiple playrooms, we only explored one, but it was very nice! There is a Play deck that is open 24/7. There are two other sets of play areas open at different hours. The water temperature at the conversation pool was hot, wink-wink!! We didn't enjoy the atmosphere as much as we have at Secrets or Caliente, but we will definitely come back as it has some unique charm. Drinks and the bartenders were excellent, not terribly expensive. They have good bar food as well if you need some fuel for a late evening. If you are looking for a lifestyle resort to make friends and likely see them repeatedly, this is the place for you. If you're looking to come in and just meet and fool around, this also isn't a bad spot. Look forward to exploring it all next visit!"

"If I could give them a no star I would. I understand this is a lifestyle Destination, but don't waste your time. The Customer service is terrible, I called in to move my reservation which they said I had up to 6 months to be able to come in. And I could move it as many times as I want, I moved it and I had to move it again because I had business pop-up. That took me out of the state. They said I know called no showed the 1st day and that I forfeited all my money. Period thank God. I didn't show up with my wife to get my room. And they told me this. They clearly see that I had reservations. They just don't do their job. They will rob you of your money. They're taken advantage of basically being one of the only places of their kind in the area. And they don't care. Avoid these thieves at all cost."
