Ybor Resort & Spa

We booked this resort because it was a gay establishment & wanted to be in comfortable setting.
When we arrived, entrance was in the rear of the building which was a horriffic first impression. After a long wait to check in the hallway to the room was even worse than the entrance. The room was like an ice box cold & no way to controle the A. C & staff wouldn’t do anything about it. Upon settling in. We discovered mold on the A. C ducts, stained sheets, pillows & towels & it only kept getting worse from there. This place should not be cold a resort nor a spa. It is nothing but a dingy, dirty bathhouse with rooms (non of them has windows). The ones that do, has glass block windows. A total fire violation. We wanted to leave & go to another hotel but unfortunately there was non available & we were told we wouldn’t get a refund & we had no choice but to stay as travelled a long way & try to make the best of it.
We tried reaching out to the owner & manager but never heard from either. We tried to e mail them & still no response. Few days later we discovered that we have (Crabs). Neither one of us came in contact with anyone at this bathhouse. It had to be from the sheets or towels.
This place is a huge code violation & I’m surprised the city didn’t close them down. As a gay couple we pride ourselves of being clean & who we are. We are ashamed that this establishment is associated with the gay life style. The owners should be ashamed of themselves not maintaining the place & should not be called resort or spa as it is misleading & a huge disappointment. We would never recommend. Here r some pix.

Hands down, the most pleasant and accommodating staff! We have traveled frequently for more than three decades and this establishment had to be the most accommodating staffs we’ve ever dealt with!
My husband had surgery which required a knee scooter, unfortunately had a flat tire. knowing we were going on a cruise ship and sailing out in less than three hours, the manager drove me to the nearest gas station to patch the tire and drove me back in time for us to make the cruise. What a nice guy!
The resort was clean and the clientele were handsome, we had a great time. Mike AZ

Terrible place everytime I have been there are loud regular drugged out twinks who run around judging and screaming through the halls making it
Uncomfortable to be there stop worrying About their feelings and worry about all the negative reviews about this

Sorry but this place smells, it’s unclean and the guys look either very old used twink or druggies. Either way it isn’t worth the money

Spent a week here in December 2013. The staff was very friendly and so were some of the guests… except Saturday night when the swishing bent wrists took over. I’ve never in my 45 years of life experienced anything quite like it and will never forget it. It was like everyone was walking on the tippy toes of their ice skates and their bent wrists swishing back and forth was the only thing keeping their balance.
The steam room was not working the whole time. The smaller ‘hot’ tub inside was colder than normal bath water temperature the whole time. And the smell of the whole place… the smell alone made me terrified I was going to get athlete’s foot. I NEVER walked on the bare floor and I sprayed Tinactin on my feet and in my shoes. How the staff never smelled that awful smell I will never know.
Eat, sleep, rave, repeat… is burnt into my brain FOREVER. Does this place not know of any other songs?
