We drove to New Orleans to visit here. It was so hot inside, once we found someone to let us in, that we almost passed out. The guest was very nice but the owner wasn't at all. Glad we didn't pay ahead of time. We left and went to Collett's. Great time there. Now we only play there. J &... More

Our stay was met with great expectations and other very open friendly guests. This was the best part. Nudity at the pool was great and allowed for everyone to really get to know your neighbor the pool was somewhat clean and very refreshing to encourage and allow naked swimming and relaxation The bad part, our room " captain hook" was...

My husband and I spent our second Mardi Gras at The Dive Inn and once again enjoyed ourselves. Great people and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere - I don't plan to stay anywhere else! So glad to see some of the same friendly faces as last year, it's like staying with family, only with random nudity (I guess that depends... More

My wife and I stayed the same weekend as the previous reviewer “Techxan”. Everything they said was accurate. I remember meeting them naked out by the pool. They were a very nice couple. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for something a little different. My wife and I were one of the couples that had... More

We stayed for the first time at the Dive Inn from the 20th to the 22nd. We had an incredible, fun and sexy time. It was easy to find and within walking distance of most everything we needed. The neighborhood was clean and felt very safe. There are some beautiful houses to see in the Garden District. There is a... More

This place is very unique and comfortable guest house run by a cool married couple who create a stress free, open minded, relaxed environment. Like others have said, it's not for everyone, but if you're looking for a funky atmosphere where you can a little more liberated then this is the place for you. The trolley stop is very convenient...

We stayed at the Dive Inn recently, and have nothing but praise for the venue nor the proprietors. We were meet at the airport by Wayne (co-owner) who provided intelligent conversation and insight into the city (this was our first trip to N.O.). He even drove us to a grocery store so we could get supplies (beer, rum, and some... More

If you thoroughly read their website, you will know exactly what to expect from The Dive Inn. What we got was that, plus a whole lot more. We spent two days at the Dive while we were in New Orleans, and it would have been nice to spend a few more. We will definitely try to make it back. The... More

Too bad the pool was so dirty it would have been nice to swim. The room was super mildewy, hard to sleep. The owner kept making sexual comments that weirded me out. This is not our kind of place and not because of the clothing optional, lack of room service or other ammenities.
