"Beautifully designed and landscaped, this high-end post modern, Caribbean resort reflects a passionate commitment to service, attention to detail and southern hospitality." The guide added that "the resort draws an attractive, worldly crowd."

"One of the most impressive and more recent additions is the Equator Resort."

The Voice noted the Equator's "dramatically restored turn-of-the-century buildings designer fabrics, feather pillows, Italian-tile baths, phones with voice mail, whirlpool baths, French doors, and pitched ceilings. All around, this is one of the finest gay resorts in Florida."
