I’ll try not to repeat ‘everything’ that 99% of all other reviewers say about this place, but some things I will :) This was our first (but not last!) visit to Hidden Beach.

Location:
Tightly sandwiched between El Dorado and Sensimar. (Side-note: for our off-site excursions, we preferred Sensimar as it has great restaurants and the best beach for swimming.) At HB, There still remains a 30’ section of beach access to the ocean at the north end – we hung out at this beach bed. The rest of the beach is behind a retainer wall without access to the ocean. The south end borders Sensimar and there’s no way their guests can see you. On the north end, bordering El Dorado, there’s a fence gate with constant foot traffic of the HB beach minders, so we experienced nearly constant “beach companions” (staff) on that end. And if you bring water shoes you can go out into the ocean – which we did. Of course EVERYONE on the clothed El Dorado beach had a full view of our naked selves the entire time we were in the water. We saw only three other guests venture into the ocean during our stay.

Staff: This is a complex subject.
First, they are genuinely wonderful human beings and provide the very highest levels of service. We left the place loving many of the staff members and with a deep appreciation for all of them. We’ve been all over the world and have never encountered finer people or service. We tried to hand out as many 50-peso bills as possible. Some got more for their monumental efforts and ‘work their axx off’ performance. (Esperanza, Sandy)
Second, there are A LOT of staff. It appeared to us that during our stay (Labor Day week) the # of staff at HB far outnumbered the number of guests (@~70% occupancy). Why this matters: It’s a nude resort, right? Well, one of many examples goes like this - if I left my room (nude of course) to go to breakfast (or for any other reason) I would be greeted by at least 3 young cleaning ladies, several more grounds keepers and of course half a dozen restaurant staff – male and female. They are all dressed of course, rightly so. Not uncommon to encounter a dozen clothed staff in the 1-2 minute walk to the restaurant. So the nudist resort is literally teeming with ‘multiples’ of clothed staff for every 1 guest – all occupying the same space. (there are no “staff corridors” etc.) That was a bit awkward and made my wife initially uncomfortable. We had to get in the mindset that we’d spend our vacay time mostly in the midst of clothed staff (~75% male?) while walking around stark naked – until getting to the pool anyway where 90% of guests congregate.
Third - Seaweed/beach staff, seems about half of them have been trained by mgmt or parents to be respectful, i.e. “look straight ahead.” In our case, the other half gawked and smiled at my beautiful wife as they constantly paraded back and forth on the beach. On day 1, several made extra trips down the beach and appeared to spread the word as it suddenly became a literal parade of different wheel-barrow guys walking by to look at her. We eventually decided to move because of that.
Summary: When we were not at the pool, we were mostly nude around other people who were not nude, appearing to enjoy the view of my uniquely beautiful wife.

Food: Excellent. Custom menu if you wish. You can eat nude at every meal, and to walk thru the beach lunch buffet and eat nude is marvelous. Breakfast has both a la carte and buffet options.
Room: We had the Dome room. Larger than the others with a balcony and great view.
Moonlight Bar: Dead. Not 100% the resort’s fault. Since the majority of guests are elderly, there’s not many left to party at night. My wife and I had the place to ourselves on more than one night. Danced the night away – just the two of us, nude of course. But also strange, as we provided nude entertainment for the DJ and bartender. HB could take some cues from a typical Dominican Resort and have something going on to attract more people to the lounge – employ “animators?”

Approx mix of guests while we were there: 10% 30s, 20% 40s, 20% 50s, 20% 60s, 20% 70s, 10% 80s, two single guys, and one each of a lesbian couple and a gay couple. Everyone was cool.
90% of women put on a wrap to eat at the restaurant for breakfast & dinner, with the 10% going fully nude. I’d guess more than 50% of men were always 100% nude, with the other 50% putting something on for breakfast and/or dinner. Almost everyone does the lunch buffet at the beach nude.

First timer? My wife is Latina and was skeptical about the whole thing – although she was willing to try it out since we did the nude spas in Germany. She’s extremely conservative and yet by Day 3 she preferred to be nude most of the time. It’s a beautiful, liberating thing. No one stares, everyone is happy – and on an equal level of vulnerability. 90% of the other guests were friendly and sociable, with a few couples in full private retreat mode who did not have any interaction with anyone.

Facilities – mostly great.
The not-so-good:
The large “Jacuzzi” next to the pool doesn’t work. After several of us complained, they did heat the water after day 3, but the jets don’t work and haven’t worked for years we were told. Most of the time it was the same temp as the pool, and remains a round still-water sitting pool. No one used it. (We heard stories that it was the nightly gathering spot years ago when it functioned.)
The “Jacuzzi” in the Moonlight lounge does have hot water, and the lower jets work softly, but the top jets (the ones that make the bubbles) do not work – so this also doesn’t really qualify as a full Jacuzzi either. We used it two or three times, and were the only people there.
There used to be a roof-top bar area that is now (Sep 2019) completely torn up and unserviceable.
None of the fountains were functioning.
For the price, we think that these deficiencies were unacceptable.

Activities – room to improve
You can see their website for the listed activities – we did everything because there are not many options other than going to one of the other resorts – but then that defeats the purpose of paying serious $$ to be nude all the time. It would have been nice to have more things going on near the pool or beach. There’s a ping-pong table by the pool, and a billiards table in the Moonlight lounge. That’s it for self-service entertainment. Since the crowd is mostly elderly, I can see why they don’t make more investment there.
That said, Sandy worked her axx off and was there more than 12 hours a day making sure she could facilitate all the published activities – alone. (Some help on the 11:00 pool activity tho)
We brought a Bluetooth speaker and made our own party on the beach for the two of us.

Bottom line: It’s the only non-sexualized tropical nudist resort in the western hemisphere, and “the environment is 100% fully inclusive love and kindness.” The $$ value lies in the freedom to be nude 100% of the time in that environment. Because of this, and in spite of its notable shortcomings, we will definitely return.

Travel tip: Once you go, you'll be able to join the Hidden Beach closed FB group where there are more than 1000 members. From there, you may be able to choose a time to go and join a group closer to your age or with similar ideas on things to do, or even organize a group of your own. I'm thinking that might be the most fun way to go about it.

This was my second time travelling to this resort. Both times I had travelled solo and it was just as fun as the first time. The staff is amazing and some remember me from my previous visit two years prior. I never had to ask for a drink. The waiter for breakfast, lunch and dinner all remembered my drinks and brought it to me without me having to ask. Two names I could remember and made a really good impression on me was Alicia at the pool bar and sandy from the entertainment staff. Both lady’s made my vacation memorable. Alicia had to go back to sesimar to work my last day which was sad because she made my drinks the best, so I decided to head over and get my usual drinks one last time on the last day. She was always around to listen and I really enjoyed talking. Sandy was just as good, she always made sure I was having fun and always had a smile on her face. Sandy was new since my last visit and I hope she is still running the entertainment when I return again. I’ve never seen any of the staff do anything else but smile and I can’t wait to go back next year. The only thing that was a little disappointing is that they don’t give you the bottle of wine in your room as a welcome gift, It’s two tequila samples.

Had the pleasure of honeymooning here in 7/11, finally made it back. Staff is great, as is the food, drink, etc. The best part is all the other couples are friendly and polite. If you want to talk, great. If you want to lounge w/your SO and just read a book, great. Only downer is there isn't really a beach anymore.
