LUTZ - A Pasco nudist resort will be changing owners soon.
Joe Lettelleir owns Paradise Lakes Resort, a 72-acre, clothing-optional haven with about 400 residents in Lutz.
A woman who answered the phone at the resort Friday, who did not want to be quoted, said Lettelleir is selling the resort to a man named John Forier, who owns a home at Paradise and also lives in Martinique.
According to a story posted on the USA Nudist Web site, Lettelleir made the announcement June 30 at the Paradise Lakes Condominium Association general meeting.
The Paradise worker reached Friday said the final papers have not been signed, but the sale is expected to be completed in the next week.
She said Forier has plans for changes at the resort, but she said Forier would be the best to explain his vision for Paradise. Forier was not able to be reached Friday.
The Pasco Property Appraiser's Office lists the 15-acre Paradise Lakes resort with a current taxable value of $1.1-million.
Other area nudist resorts include Caliente Resort & Spa, the Oasis, Lake Como Family Nudist Resort, Gulf Coast Nudist Resort and the Island Group.

The new owner Forier has no clue how to follow AANR guidelines, he should just change the name to pleasure palace and keep kissing the asses of all those swingers he caters too. Plus the place is so run down and it doesnt look like he cares to fix it

I don't agree with "family friendly" at any nudist resort. Bringing children? Grandma?

I agree with the comment made by the "Nudist". I also hope the new owner follows the AANR guidelines for Naturism. Lake Como is a great example of how a Nudist Resort should be run and organized.

This resort already caters to swingers, and therefore does not comply with the American Association of Nude Recreation's (AANR) "family friendly" requirements. I hope the new owner makes it clear that "Nudist" does NOT equal "Swinger."

Let's hope new plans include keeping the resort for nudists & naturists. Unlike a purchase in UK which turned the naturist site over to textiles.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
