A series of leaked Grand Theft Auto VI clips introduced fans to an unusually provocative location: a nudist resort populated by fully uncensored guests. The footage showed Jason Duval walking through the grounds, using binoculars to inspect residents and eventually attacking them.
Online investigators soon claimed to have identified the Florida resort that inspired the fictional setting. The business, Cypress Cove in Kissimmee, has since been overwhelmed by references to the game, fabricated reviews and alleged attempts to demand money in exchange for removing posts.
The strange saga has become a notable piece of arcade and gaming news, although the dispute itself is happening far away from any arcade cabinet.
Fans connect the game location to Cypress Cove
Cypress Cove is a real naturist resort offering a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts and kayaking. Guests can also eat at Cheeks Bar & Grill. Reviews on major travel platforms suggest the resort is generally popular with visitors.
Google reviews, however, became difficult to interpret after users began posting repeated references to GTA 6, Jason Duval and other details from the leaked footage. Cypress Cove staff have had to reply to the posts to make clear that they do not represent genuine customer experiences.
The resort’s website is available at Cypress Cove, while further reporting on the discovery and its consequences is available from GamesRadar.
Fake reviews allegedly turn into ransom demands
Rather than limiting the joke to harmless five-star comments, some posters described a supposed incident involving a man wandering around the property and spying on residents with binoculars. For a real nudist resort, claims of that nature can damage public trust and create serious confusion for prospective guests.
Cypress Cove responded forcefully to at least one post while trying to have numerous others removed. The resort said some people behind the reviews had demanded payment before they would alter or delete them. The posts containing those alleged threats were no longer visible at the time of reporting, suggesting that Google had removed them.
In its response, Cypress Cove acknowledged the references to the game while stressing that the resort is in Florida, not the fictional state of Leonida. It also used a pointed line to explain that its marketing budget contains no allowance for “internet ransom.”

❌ THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE GUEST REVIEW.
References to “Jason Duval,” “Lucia,” binoculars, a pool, firearms and other similar details refer to Grand Theft Auto VI.

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.”
