Rockstar Games fans hunting for Grand Theft Auto VI locations have flooded Kissimmee, Florida’s Cypress Cove Nudist Resort with fake Google reviews. The resort’s owner revealed that some posters demanded extortion money to remove the fabricated messages, prompting a blunt public denial ahead of the November 19 game launch.
Leaking Vice City Realism and the Hunt for Cypress Cove
Anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI has driven players to extraordinary lengths of online sleuthing. Following detailed gameplay leaks that surfaced across the internet, fans began scouring real-world maps to identify the physical inspirations behind Rockstar’s updated version of Vice City. One specific sequence featured an in-game nudist resort populated by unclothed NPCs, drawing immediate attention from the community, as detailed by IGN.
Investigators zeroed in on Cypress Cove Nudist Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, a clothing-optional property featuring a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, and kayaking. While Rockstar has confirmed no such connection, the speculation sparked a wave of digital tourism. Players started populating the resort’s online listings with comments mimicking the leaked footage. The trouble traces back to footage from leaker Cyberleek, who released gameplay focusing on a nudist town following an online poll of followers. In the clip, player character Jason Duval was seen walking among naked resort guests before pulling out binoculars to zoom in on them, and the scene ended with him attacking the nudists.
“Will be trying to book a reservation on Nov. 19th. I will be playing GTA 6 for three days straight while nude in my RV. Shout out to Rockstar for showing me this gem of a place!”

GTA 6 fans first caught wind of an in-game nudist resort not from Rockstar but from leaks that polluted the internet. Despite the lack of an official showing, early footage provided enough information for watchers to piece together how the developer might have pulled from the real world for its upgraded version of Vice City. Fans tracking down the locations behind some of their favorite video game levels is nothing new; Arc Raiders fans did something similar in January. But where the sleuthing for some games has often resulted in real-world positivity, Cypress Cove Nudist Resort isn’t enjoying the increased visibility brought by GTA 6.
Extortion Demands and the Resort’s Public Pushback
What started as internet humor quickly escalated into a commercial headache for the Florida resort. That’s a real problem for a business that relies on word of mouth and a clientele that skews older and almost certainly hasn’t touched a leaked gameplay clip in their lives.
The resort owner discovered that the fabricated review wave was tied to financial demands. Posters allegedly followed up their online spam with direct requests for payment to alter or delete the damaging feedback. The owner stated that the influx of reviews is a coordinated series of fabricated posts using GTA VI references,
and they then alleged that some posts were followed by requests that the rest pay money to have the reviews changed or removed.
Their message continued, stating, we will not pay
and we will not negotiate,
confirming it had documented the reviews and the request for payment.
It added, This activity is being reported through the appropriate channels.
“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.”

For our actual guests and anyone researching Cypress Cove: please understand that these posts do not describe genuine guest experiences at our resort,
the Cypress Cove Nudist Resort’s Google representative said. And to whoever is behind them: We appreciate the commitment to the GTA storyline, but Cypress Cove is located in Florida — not Leonida.
