This was our first time at SMI, celebrating our 27th anniversary. While parts of the facility may be a little understated when compared to a 5-star resort, the guest rooms are very clean and comfortable. SMI's staff is extremely friendly, creating a positive and safe atmosphere that inspires wild fun. The guests (attendees) vary in age, but their interests are... More

We have been to SMI twice in the last two years and both times were a nice chance for a convenient escape. There are no other locations in the U.S. or Canada that allow such a simple lifestyle friendly getaway. Both of our visits were during the week and seemed a little quieter than most week end reviews indicate. Still,... More

Thanks for enjoying the Magic of Sea Mountain Luxury Resort and Spas truly the only experience such as this in the USA> The photos on the review seem to be about 4 years old and the property has undergone constant upscale transformation. So please see the web site www.seamountaininn.com for more updated images. We certainly feel the price of SMI... More

This was our first visit. We've never done anything like this before and had no clue what to expect. It was my husband's mother's day gift. We went on a wednesday. All I have to say is it is the most liberating experience we've ever had. The freedom to allow the animalistic nature within our normally boring human bodies escape... More

We have been to other life style resorts and heard about SMI from others. Overall it was an amazing experience. The staff was fantastic. They were always there and friendly and helpful and you truly felt like you got personal attention and they really cared that you were enjoying yourself. Dewey is just great. The atmosphere is extremely sexy but... More

We went to the Sea Mountain Inn for the first time on the advice of our friends. We have been to other clubs and resorts, so our expectations were high. When we arrived, SMI was so well concealed, it looked like any house/bldg in the area. However, once we were met at the door by Jennifer, we knew this was... More

My wife and I are in our early 50s and have been married for over 30 years. We are enjoying our “empty nest” years and are fortunate to now have both time and money to get out and enjoy activities we previously only dreamed about (and others we never even imagined). About a year ago we visited Haulover Beach in... More

We've been here 4-5 times and have a great time each visit!!! Dewey and the rest of the staff are the most awesome hosts a hotel guest could ever ask for. We only had a few days to relax and enjoy ourselves this visit and we had a ball as usual. First of all, the environment is very relaxed. Yes,... More

We have been to Hedo and Desire many times and are always anxious to return, but getting the time for a week-long vacation is not always possible. So when business took us to San Diego for a week, we scheduled a weekend at Sea Mountain Inn (two nights) before returning home. Our expectations were shaped by the reviews we had... More

My wife and I visited in March for the first time. We had already booked our week in Palm Springs at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club so signed up for a day spa experience. We loved it so much we signed up again for the next day. We have been to nude beaches, but this was our first lifestyle... More
