Nude Art Weekend Brings Imagination to Life at Cypress Cove
Creativity was on full display during Nude Art Weekend at Cypress Cove, as talented artists transformed the human body into incredible works of art. From intricate details to imaginative interpretations of fantasy and mythology, the artistry throughout the weekend provided guests with plenty to stop, admire, and discuss.
After an impressive competition, three artists earned top honors for their outstanding creations. Mandi Schiff captured 1st Place with Mermaid Queen, Sierra Whitaker earned 2nd Place with The Underworld, and Emma Kenemer took 3rd Place with Hecate. Congratulations to our winners and to all of the talented artists and models who brought their creativity, skill, and vision to the Cove. The finished pieces were truly remarkable!
The weekend wasn't just about watching art come to life, it was also an opportunity to create. At Lakeside, participants gathered for the Nude Figure Drawing Class, where they explored techniques for capturing the human form on paper. The class introduced speed drawing, along with the fundamentals of composition and proportion, giving participants a chance to sharpen their observation skills and try something new in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
Whether holding a paintbrush, picking up a pencil, posing as a model, or simply admiring the finished work, Nude Art Weekend was a celebration of creativity and the human form. Thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend such a colorful and memorable experience at Cypress Cove!

Culinary Team Earns Double Honors
We're proud to celebrate an exciting achievement for our talented culinary team!
Cypress Cove recently competed in the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association (CFHLA) Hospitality Tradeshow's Ultimate Chef Competition, where our chefs showcased the creativity, skill, and passion that guests experience every time they dine with us.
Their hard work earned 2nd Place in the Judges' Competition, an honor awarded by a panel of industry professionals who evaluated each team's culinary excellence, presentation, technique, and creativity.
As if that wasn't enough, our team also captured the coveted People's Choice Award, a recognition made even more meaningful by the overwhelming support of everyone who cast their vote for Cypress Cove.
This achievement was made possible by the incredible talents of Executive Chef Steven Davis, Sous Chef Gerardo Rodriguez Iban, Liezel McGraw, and Director of Food & Beverage Jose Matos. Their collaboration, innovation, and commitment to excellence continue to elevate the dining experience for every guest who visits the Cove.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who voted for Cypress Cove in the People's Choice Award competition. Your support and encouragement helped make this honor possible, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to rally behind our team.
Whether you're enjoying a special dinner at Lakeside Restaurant, grabbing a bite at Cheeks Bar & Grill, or attending one of our signature culinary events, you're experiencing the same award-winning passion and creativity that earned recognition among Central Florida's finest hospitality professionals.
Please join us in congratulating Liezel, Gerardo, Steven, and Jose on this outstanding accomplishment. We couldn't be prouder of the team they represent and the excellence they bring to Cypress Cove every day.
Fresh Updates Coming to the Villas
Exciting improvements are underway at the Villas! As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Cypress Cove welcoming, comfortable, and looking its best, our villa buildings are currently undergoing a complete remodel.
These updates will give the buildings a fresh new look while bringing them in line with the style and appearance of our previously renovated buildings. The project includes both exterior and interior enhancements designed to provide a more modern, inviting experience for our guests.
Construction is expected to continue through the coming months, with an anticipated completion date sometime in the mid-to-late fall. We appreciate everyone's patience while this work is underway and know the finished results will be well worth the wait.
Thank you for supporting the continued improvements that help keep Cypress Cove a place we're all proud to call home or our favorite getaway. We look forward to welcoming guests to these refreshed villas later this year!
