The Big Coconut Guesthouse - Gay Men's Resort

Always our go to a guest house in fort Lauderdale. Just got home from an excellent 5-day visit, as usual great fun ‍♂️. Matthew, Tom, Jim & owner David always available for anything to make our stay GREAT, and it WAS! Lush tropical courtyard and cool inviting pool. Rooms extra large, comfy beds, full fridge, etc. meticulously maintained. Can't wait to go back. Thanks Guys, see ya soon

I recently spent a week at a wonderful guesthouse, and from the moment I arrived until the time I checked out, I felt like I was staying with family. The owner and staff at this gem of a guesthouse made me feel welcome and comfortable in a luxurious way. The rooms are beautifully furnished and well-adorned with every comfort you could hope for but wouldn't expect from a typical "hotel." My room even had a DVD player with a selection of half a dozen movies. I brought one with me, which I donated for the enjoyment of the next guest. What makes the experience at The Big Coconut truly special is the friendly atmosphere, which encourages guests to socialize and get to know each other. The other guests were some of the nicest people I could have imagined meeting. The owner and staff actively encourage mingling, and on Friday and Saturday nights, the guesthouse hosts a happy hour with a variety of beverages to please everyone. Although I don't drink alcohol, there were plenty of non-alcoholic options too! I enjoyed chatting with Jim, the bartender, who also tended to the rooms. Tom Hazel, with his sarcastic sense of humor, went above and beyond to help me out. Matthew was one of the kindest and sweetest people, always willing to assist as well. The kindness and service from the entire staff exceeded what I've experienced at even the Four Seasons Hotels. I highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone seeking a similar type of establishment. The cost was quite reasonable, especially considering the other options in the Ft. Lauderdale area. The combination of price, environment, and quality made my visit perfect for what I was seeking. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

Everything is very clean, and the staff is amazing and helpful. Owner also is very kind with anything you need. Communication pre, during and after the stay was great. They also provided beach equipment and everything I needed to have a great day at the beach. Hotel is very quiet even when the pool is open 24 hours.

A nice relaxing experience overall. I really appreciated Matthew. He was super friendly and hospitable. He got me checked in and showed me to my room. He explained everything. I appreciated him holding my luggage as i had an early checkout but needed to keep my luggage somewhere. Would highly recommend a stay here if you are in Ft. Lauderdale.

Once again, as always terrific Weekend. It was Pride weekend, and the place was full of really great, friendly guys. We always have a great time, but this time it was especially FUN. A lot of guys we knew from previous stays this particular weekend Pride. Matthew, Tom, Jim and Owner David always available to handle our Needs. The place has a beautiful old school charm, large rooms, #17 full size fridge, (ours had a stove). Lush tropical meticulously maintained property. Hope to make it back in September. Thanks again guys, Dan and Randy

The Big Coconut has become my favorite vacation spot! The accommodations are pristine clean and the staff is absolutely the BEST! I've made many friends staying at the Big Coconut. Matthew is always on top of making sure everyone feels welcome. Hazel and Jim put on the best Happy Hour in town! I look forward to many more visits!

My 5th visit here from Chicago in the last 15 months. Amazing place, amazing staff, amazing guests. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Fort Lauderdale. Easy Uber anywhere and close to beaches. Always see repeat visitors there. That speaks volumes in my opinion. Can’t wait to plan my next trip with my bff, B!

I have stayed at this guest house many times. It is always a consistently clean and friendly place. Everyone there is so nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend staying there and take advantage of what Fort Lauderdale has to offer. You will not regret it. Thank you.

Thank-you Matthew, Hazel & Jim for a relaxing & fun stay. So many personal touches & attention made this a great choice for my visit, all thanks to you! Room was spotless. Great shower, too. Publix, Walgreens & great smoothies at Rind & Grind all a block away, I hope to come back. PS. All the best to Peanut & Dottie! Michael - Toronto (Canada)
