There's no place like here

Every one of the 138 rooms at the Bougainvillea Resort opens onto either the garden terrace (poolside) or beach. The hotel is in need of a renovation, but Bougainvillea Beach ResortBougainvillea Beach Resortexceptional service, a pristine beach and more activity options than you'll ever want to exercise make it a favorite of U.K, and Canadian tourists.

The resort sits on the meeting place of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, which means whitecaps, cool breezes and powder-soft sand that dares you to bury your return ticket.

Not an ocean swimmer? No problem. Three separate pools (one with a swim-up bar) will coax your shoulders to release all that stored-up stress.

The resort is not all-inclusive because, according to Dawn Kirton, sales and marketing coordinator, the island just has too much to offer. She recommends Bougainvillea Beach ResortBougainvillea Beach Resortusing the resort as a home base and taking lots and lots of day trips. "I'm a local and I still love the Safari tour - it has something for everyone."

All beaches in Barbados are public, which means the beach at the Bougainvillea stretches on forever - great for walks along the shore. Beach vendors are permitted to sell from stationary stands, but only with a permit.

While the shore here is sandy, I don't recommend swimming in the ocean unless you're a strong swimmer.

I went body surfing with my camera-man and ended Bougainvillea Beach ResortBougainvillea Beach Resortup being dragged along the ocean floor, losing my bikini and completely understanding the term 'drowned rat.'

I'd do it again in a second, though....

Wanna see the video we shot? No bikini shots - just a Barbadian mind-break.

    • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Thanks, I remember your story about us too, thank you very much about it. Because we're the most mainstream nudist resort out west and perfect for first time couples trying topless or nude sunbathing and the most popular nudist resort in California, a lot of times people forget we're also one of the most luxurious because we're so affordable. We're able to keep our rates affordable because we cater to vacationers around the world and are busy 7 days a week, instead of just catering to the local Southern Californian market on weekends. Julia, Feel free visiting our resort someday. We would love to show you it and you can experience for yourself why we're the most popular place out west. You can call and ask for me personally. Tom"

    • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Julia Rosien said "Thanks for stopping by, Tom and reminding me about the Terra Cotta Inn. I've written about this beautiful spot in California: http://gogirlfriend.com/reviews/top-10-clothing-optional-resorts-exposed-12930 - and it's nice to hear the inn is still going strong. Always love to hear from my readers! Julia"

    • On 5 Nudist Resorts that Will Blow Your Mind, Tom Mulhall said "Hi Julia, Great choices. However, you left out one of the best choices for couples and girlfriend vacations. You forgot The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA. Some people still enjoy paying lots of money for their vacations. But nowadays most people now look for the best value for their vacation dollars, not bragging rights on how much they overpaid. And the Terra Cotta Inn is perfect. That's why repeat guests from around the world will fly only there for their naturist vacations I realize you could only include 5 places in your story, and not everyone always wants to know about the popular resorts that everyone wants to go to, but I bet your readers will thank you for telling them about Terra Cotta Inn."
