Come to Terra Cotta Inn's FREE naked BBQ this weekend Jan 13th - 15th - It's Summer in January!

Summer is never out of fashion in Palm Springs, California the sunniest city in the US. For instance in ALL of 2011, Palm Springs only had 2.11 inches of rain the whole year. That's one of the many reasons why nudists and naturists in the know, will only stay in Palm Springs at Terra Cotta Inn.

The weather has been fantastic in Palm Springs, California. We have been in the 80's all week long and we are 100% sunny. And sunshine is predicted for the coming week and weekend. Many people don't realize that official temperatures are taken in the shade, so it feels even warmer in Palm Springs sun.

Since it is so sunny and so warm and this coming weekend is a 3 day holiday weekend for many guests, we decided instead of waiting until summer to throw a summer BBQ, we'll have one now to celebrate our summer in January.

And what's the best way to go to a BBQ? Naked of course!

We'll have hotdogs, hamburgers and all the yummy side dishes that you expect like cole slaw, potato salad, salad, and more.

And the Palm Springs film festival runs all week long until January 16th. Who knows, you may end up sitting next to a Hollywood star at a screening.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, unique vacation experience.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

Just this fall AOL Travel, UK wrote "Discover our picks of the BEST Clothing Optional resorts around the world." They recommended Terra Cotta Inn as the ONLY nude sunbathing resort in the US catering to couples. Pretty cool.

It's nice when the LA Times, or Los Angeles Magazine, or Palm Springs Life Magazine pick us as the best place to stay in Southern California, but this is even cooler when AOL Travel England recognizes us also as the best place for couples.

And of course we're the best not because of being snobby. We're the best because we have the best guests. They have so much fun and are so friendly and wonderful.

AOL Travel also wrote about Terra Cotta Inn nudist resort that we "are considered one of the best value nudist resorts in the world." No reason to overpay for a nude vacation any more.

We are an affordably luxurious nudist resort. And don't forget all January long, we have our annual room sale of stay 1 night, the 2nd is 50% off on Sunday through Thursday nights. And no hidden resort or day fees here.

Give us a call at 800-786-6938 (toll free US and Canada) for more information or to make reservations.

Make this the year to finally say good bye to your funny tan lines forever.

British newspaper columnist writes, "There's nothing wrong with topless sunbathing"

Topless sunbathing has been in the media a lot lately. Especially with last weekend being the National Go Topless protest. Now a female British writer has written a story about how much she enjoys topless sunbathing.

Here's the story:

"There's nothing wrong with topless sunbathing
What’s so wrong with being topless on the beach, asks Bryony Gordon .

Bryony Gordon, Telegraph Columnist

Brigitte Bardot started the trend for topless sunbathing in the sixties.

...When I go on holiday, I like to sunbathe topless. The beach towel goes down, the book comes out, and the bikini top flies off, often in the direction of a startled looking friend who has clearly never seen a pair of breasts before. Seeing as I won’t be using the top to cover my chest, I suggest that instead they use it cover their prudish eyes.

Topless sunbathing is a wonderful thing, a holiday in itself from underwired bras...

A group of Australian politicians tried to ban it in 2008, with one Labour MP, Paul Gibson posing the searching question: “if you’re on the beach, do you want somebody with big knockers next to you when you’re there with the kids?” Well I don’t know Paul - if you positioned yourself right, they might just keep the wind off.

...Here are things I find far more offensive on a beach: speedos; “fashionable” swimming costumes with bits cut out of them; people who go for wees in the sea.

There is a time and a place for topless sunbathing, of course. As a spokesman at Debretts tells me: “You probably don’t want to do it in Battersea park”, and he is right; you want to be many hundreds of miles away from the constraints of your normal life.

Melissa Obadash, a swimwear designer, lived in Italy during her twenties and says she “always sunbathed topless. It was absolutely normal, it is normal. But you can’t do it in America. I once tried on a beach in Miami but the police came over and told me to cover up. I think it’s a bit sad that happens, that they can’t see the body as a natural, beautiful thing.”..

But when, exactly, did we all become such prudes? It seems funny to me that breasts are everywhere you look - on the television, in magazines, on adverts across cities - and yet, when we see a pair in real life, on a real woman, we don’t know where to look. Take the case of the woman who was this week kicked off a bus in Manchester for having the temerity to breastfeed her six-week old son. We have sexualized breasts to the point that we have forgotten what they are there for.

Many believe that the topless sunbather is an exhibitionist, a minx and a strumpet. They are mistaken - mostly, we just don’t like tan lines. And we don’t mind our breasts. Is that such a bad thing?

Have a Happy Naked Memorial Day Everyone!

We hope everyone has a HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

What a great Memorial Day holiday we’ve been having. Plenty of beer, hamburgers, hot dogs and naked guests.

Yep, the only way to celebrate a holiday, or any day of the week for that matter is NAKED!!!

Here in sunny Palm Springs, California we were 95F and not a cloud in the sky. Perfect, topless and nude sunbathing weather.

We’re from Chicago, from a neighborhood called Logan Square named after General Logan who created “Decoration Day” which became Memorial Day. We know the true reason for Memorial Day. It is to memorialize all the brave soldiers that have paid the ultimate price to preserve our freedom.

Yes, this weekend is a fun time of picnics, BBQ’s and skinny dipping, but also take a moment to remember all the brave young men and women past and present protecting us.

Hope everyone has a fun, safe holiday.

Tripadvisor's Holiday Hotel Hideouts to shake the season's stress

Tripadvisor just reported their 10 holiday hotel hideouts for shaking the season's stress. They picked independent properties and smaller hotels, which was nice. Too bad they didn't get really brave and pick a clothing optional or nudist resort like ours.

As everyone who has ever been to a clothing optional or nudist resort knows, the best nude hotels really help you de-stress fast. As guests all say, 2 days at Terra Cotta Inn is like a week anywhere else for de-stessing. And a week here feels like a month 2 weeks away anywhere else. You truly are in a different, happy world at Terra Cotta Inn.

Here's the Tripadvisor's story:


"TRIPADVISOR TOUTS TEN HOLIDAY HOTEL HIDEOUTS TO SHAKE THE SEASON'S STRESS
"Go/No Go Index" Helps Travelers Escape the Holiday Rush by Digging Up Off-the-Beaten-Path Alternatives to Larger, Overrun Hotels

..."With the craziness of the holiday season nigh, travelers seeking a quiet retreat from the madness need look no further: TripAdvisor site data has revealed undiscovered hotel havens for the holiday season. These hidden-gem properties are among the most popular on TripAdvisor.com, larger and busier — counterparts. Travelers may want to ... head straight for the "Go" hotels for more obscure but still highly-rated hotel escapes — (hopefully with nary a nagging mother-in-law in sight)."

For the full press release click here

Tripadvisor.com has the right idea. I don't really like Conde Nast Traveler Magazine that much as it profiles the same boring big chain hotels in different parts of the world all the time. True, sometimes they profile independents, but not that often.

Whereas, tripadvisor knows in the travel industry that bigger does not mean better.

Last year, tripadvisor.com profiled the 10 best clothing optional resorts in the world, and they picked Terra Cotta Inn as one of them.

But, for example, when they profile the best value hotels in Palm Springs, they completely ignored our resort, whereas everyone else in town knows we are one of the best values in Palm Springs. Even Chris Elliott the National Geographic Traveler and MSNBC travel reporter reported we are a bargain.

It's still hard in the travel industry for the "mainstream" travel industry to include nudist and clothing optional resorts. Even here in Palm Springs, Terra Cotta has one of the highest occupancy rates of ALL hotels in town, yet our tourism board never mentions us to the press as one of the most popular of ALL hotels in town because they consider us a specialty niche hotel. They don't consider us as regular boutique resort where people go nude sunbathing which is what we are.

Our tourism board only tells the press about us if they ask for information about nudist resorts. Instead, we should be mentioned with textile hotels whenever the press comes to town.

But that is another battle for me to fight. And it will be an uphill battle. I am a past president of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce and I still have not changed their ways.

And I want tripadvisor.com to know, our clothing optional resort, The Terra Cotta Inn competes very well with mainstream hotels. Remember, we used to be ranked #3 of ALL hotels in Palm Springs on the tripadvisor Palm Springs hotel ranking page until you pulled us out of that category and put us in with bed and breakfasts which we are not one.

So if you want the perfect hotel hideout to de-stress this season, think clothing optional. Think Terra Cotta Inn.

Now is the time to try something different and fun. Give us a call at 800-786-6938.

We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

Labor Day Vacation spending to be up this year

Here at the Terra Cotta Inn, we too feel the pent up demand for Labor Day getaways. Our guests have ALL taken extra time off of work then and are stay from 4 nights to 2weeks over Labor Day.

Of course we are the only nudist resort in the western US that caters to couples on vacations, so it is only logical that we will be busy.

Here's the story:

...Capping a rough stay-cation summer for the tourism business, the American Automobile Assn. estimated that about 39.1 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between the Thursday and Monday of Labor Day weekend -- down 6 million, or 13.3%, from last year's holiday traveler tally. It's also the first decline since 2006.

About 4.7 million Californians will travel over the weekend, off 13% from 5.4 million last year, AAA said.

... Vacationing more cheaply and closer to home has been popular in Southern California, said Carol Martinez, a spokeswoman for LA Inc., the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau.

..."People are looking at shorter-distance trips more nowadays because it's usually not as expensive," Martinez said. "One of our leading visitor markets right now is San Francisco, and we've begun to market more within the region and the state because of that."

...While fewer people are expected to travel this coming holiday weekend, 2009 should still produce the third busiest Labor Day weekend this decade, trailing only 2008 and 2003, AAA said.

Hotel consultant David Brudney sees pent-up demand for pleasure travel and thinks AAA's estimates may be conservative.

"There's no question about it," said Brudney, an independent hotel consultant based in Carlsbad. "I think we're going to have a better demand for Labor Day rooms than is expected right now, across the board, all segments of hotels."

The reason? People feel entitled to a vacation, he said.

"I still believe vacations, if they're mini or full blown, are something people stick to," Brudney said. "They feel like they deserve it. They might think, 'We didn't do it in July, we didn't do it in August, so let's do it now.' "

... "They're trying to win back customers and for them, right now, it's all about those two things -- price and value."

...A sign of a growing belief that the country's economy is beginning to rebound can be seen in how much travelers are willing to spend; AAA's report said 80% of the surveyed travelers said they're planning to spend more this year on their Labor Day trip than last year.

Travelers also should be motivated by gasoline prices, which are down compared with this time last year. The U.S. average price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.633 on Wednesday, $1.05 less than a year ago, according to the AAA's daily Fuel Gauge Report.

"Our forecast shows Labor Day travel will be up over this summer's Fourth of July holiday, and that's a positive sign," AAA Chief Executive Robert L. Darbelnet said.

Only 4% of travelers are expected to fly to their destination, while an estimated 84% will drive, the auto club said.

24% of British women have topless sunbathed while on vacation

Or maybe I should have wrote, 24% of British women have gone topless sunbathing while on holiday. Brits use the world holiday instead of vacation. Year round about 5% of our guests are English as we are the only naturist resort in the western US that catered to couples on vacation, so naturally if they all want to take their holidays with us as long as they know about us.

And of course that is the hardest thing. Being a smaller resort, I am in charge of marketing. But, I am also a working owner making sure our resort is well run and guets have a fun vacation here. Which they do as we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the whole travel industry at just over 75% repeats. So lots of British guests thing the US is backwards and doesn't allow topless sunbathing which just isn't true.

New statistics released by the FCO yesterday show that 24 per cent of British women have sunbathed topless on holiday.

The FCO is England's Foreign Commonwealth Office. They put out a press release in the middle of June saying because topless sunbathing is obviously so popular with British women while they are on vacation, they sould not topless sunbathing in socially backwards countries where women are treated like 3rd class citizens like all of the middle eastern countries. Of course they didn't use the words socially backwards, they just said check the local laws like it is illegal to topless sunbathe in middle eastern countries. And actually pretty much all moslem countries as they are afraid of the sight of bare breasts.

What I find to be so interestiong is the FCO surveyed 30,000 adults so this was a major scientific survey. England is supposed to be nervous with nudity just like the US. This shows that women in English speaking countries are feeling much more comfortable with their bodies just like their European counterparts.

So, English women, I know why you vacation in middle eastern countries. They are deserts and you don't want rain on your vacation. That is why you don't go to Florida in the summer as it is the rainiest state in the US.

However, there is a desert city in the US called Palm Springs where we are located, where you can also go topless or nude sunbathing. Safely and legally! And we average less then 3 inches of rain a year. And we are quicker to get to than the middle east.

That's why we are the most popular vacation resort for nudists in the western US. We have one of the highest occupancy rates of ALL hotels in Palm Springs.

In the summertime, although we are a 17 room boutique luxury nudist resort, we bring in about 1% of the whole summer hotel revenue of ALL hotels in Palm Springs because we are so popular.

We are the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the US and perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.
