Frommer's Review
Occupying an isolated spot, this is the only true nudist resort in the French West Indies, but it's definitely not a wild, swinging, party place. Celebrating 30 years of business in 2008, it's very clean, decent, middle-class, even family-friendly. Very few singles check in, so "Club O" won't stimulate those seeking titillation. Despite their lack of clothing, many of the guests are older and very conservative -- just looking for a quiet, reclusive getaway with like-minded nudists. There's no pool on the premises, but the chalets are right on an excellent beach, with plentiful activities to facilitate hanging out (in every sense). Accommodations, set in red-pine chalets imported from Finland, sport a basic IKEA-meets-campground-cabin look, though the decor has been spruced up. All have outside showers and most have both front and back porches. At Papagayo Restaurant you can dine alfresco; the popular 5 to 7pm happy hour allows guests to compare . . . notes. However, each unit has a kitchenette and there's a general store, La Boutique, on-site if you want to cook your own meal.
Facilities:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
