Nice, but hardly frisky (although things can happen) would be just about any other clothing optional resorts (there are very few that aren't clothing optional). Our favorite is Santiago, very nice rooms but friskiness is pretty low, it's primarily couples 30s-50s.
Agree with peteropny regarding Santiago.
Until earlier this year it was owned by our friends in Palm Springs. Laid back and casual, clothing optional with a good mix of age groups. Weekend/public holidays usually fully booked, but quiter during weekdays - so book early (What time of year are you planning on going?). Unlike some gay 'resorts' - think SOP - day visitors were not allowed (unless accompanied by hotel guest), so it remained a peaceful environment.
You could walk to downtown Palm Springs, about 20-30 minutes (depending on temperature!) from Santiago and it's about a 15 minute drive from the airport.
IMHO the real Palm Springs is better than Warm Sands and Cathederal City.
As Santiago has changed ownership, suggest you check TripAdvisor for latest comments.
