GTA 6 fans harass real Florida nudist resort that may have inspired the game

Rockstar has not officially revealed Grand Theft Auto 6's nudist camp, but fans have known about it since the game's late August 2026 leaks. For some, watching unedited gameplay of the GTA 6 area where NPCs roam nude was not enough. They tracked down the real-world location that may have inspired the raunchiest part of Rockstar's open-world game — and are now making one business owner's life a small nightmare.

The naked encampment in GTA 6 appears to be based on Florida's Cypress Cove Resort, which describes itself as a "family-friendly" nudist retreat. Cypress Cove has operated since 1964; it started as a modest lakefront property and expanded significantly after the tourist boom caused by the construction of Disney World. The resort has since expanded many times, adding new pools, a villa-style hotel, and a lakeside restaurant. Cypress Cove seems to be doing well — after more than a thousand reviews, it has 4.6 stars on Google and 4.7 stars on Trip Advisor.

Since the GTA 6 footage leaked, however, the family-operated business has had to deal with a string of pranksters who thought it would be funny to leave reviews referencing the game. The problem is that some of these reviews make it sound as though something bad happened during a visit to the resort — when in reality they are describing something from GTA 6.

"Had a great time until a man pulled out his binoculars," one reviewer wrote, referring to the GTA 6 leaker who zoomed in on the NPCs with binoculars.

"I was troubled to hear about the incident that occurred in August," another reviewer noted vaguely.

The business owner is now calling the fake reviews extortive in the review replies. Here is the full message, which refers to some reviews that may already have been removed.

🚨 ⚠️ SPAM / EXTORTION REVIEW ⚠️ 🚨 ❌ THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE GUEST REVIEW. For anyone wondering about the suddenly recurring references to “Jason Duval,” “Lucia,” binoculars, a pool, firearms, and other suspiciously similar details — those are references to Grand Theft Auto VI. 🎮 Yes. A video game. These reviews appear to be part of a coordinated series of fabricated posts using GTA VI references and attaching them to our actual business. They were then followed by a request that we PAY MONEY to have the reviews changed or removed. 💰 We will not pay. 🚫 We will not negotiate. 📸 We have documented the reviews and the request for payment. 📢 This activity is being reported through the appropriate channels. For our actual guests and anyone researching Cypress Cove: please understand that these posts do not describe genuine guest experiences at our resort. And to whoever is behind them: 🎮 We appreciate the commitment to the GTA storyline, but Cypress Cove is located in Florida — not Leonida. ✨ Unfortunately, our marketing budget also does not contain a line item for “internet ransom.” ✨ 🚫💵 NO PAYMENT. NO NEGOTIATION. FALSE REVIEW REPORTED.

Fortunately, the resort still has a very positive overall rating on Google. According to legitimate reviewers, it provides an "incredible experience" with friendly guests and top-notch customer service.

"This is a family friendly place where you can bring your children or your mom or the entire family to enjoy the lake, the pool, the restaurant, the get togethers and dances in a friendly, nude environment," one top Google review reads. "You don’t have to worry about creepy, single men following you around or inappropriate displays of 'affection.'"
