Before you go
- Arriving
The club's own website and recent reviews mention hotel takeovers rather than a fixed venue; you book accommodation at the takeover hotel and the party uses its public and private spaces.
- First visit
First-timers report having a positive experience; the Friday meet-and-greet and organized activities make it easy to get comfortable, though you may want to arrive with an open mind about meeting people organically.
- Facilities
Expect a basic hotel with ballroom and atrium spaces converted for the party, play rooms with beds and swings, a dark room, and a pool area; daytime activities and snacks are provided, though guests often bring their own food to rooms.
- Food and drink
Light snacks are available during events, but many guests bring their own food and drinks to their rooms.

About Secret Sinsations
Secret Sinsations runs large hotel takeover parties in the northeastern US, most notably in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where recent events have drawn around 2,500 people for weekend celebrations. A typical takeover features a Friday meet-and-greet with live music, Saturday daytime pool activities and games, and a Saturday night main party with a DJ; the ballroom is converted into a dungeon space with play rooms, an orgy bed, and a dark room. The crowd is friendly and down-to-earth, and reviewers praise the social atmosphere and variety of activities, though the hotels themselves are basic and not fancy—recent guests suggest the pool area especially doesn't match promotional photos.
Nights are social and sexually open, with couples and singles mingling freely, organized activities like poker runs alongside dancing and live entertainment, and designated spaces for group play. The experience suits established swingers comfortable in large crowds and couples looking for a well-organized weekend getaway rather than an intimate club night; first-timers report having a great time, though some visitors found the crowd not their type or struggled to connect with partners.
Recent reviews are positive overall about the organization and the caliber of guests, though one group reported a serious unresolved issue with another attendee, and several mention disappointment with hotel conditions or lack of daytime activities at smaller takeovers. The Gettysburg location is consistently rated as the best, with Indianapolis and Beaver Falls as alternatives.
- Who goes
- Couples and singles of mixed ages, mostly established in the lifestyle, travelling from across the region; the Gettysburg takeover draws the largest crowds (around 2,500 at recent events).
- How opinion has moved
- Opinion has remained largely positive through 2025–2026, with recent attendees enthusiastically recommending the Gettysburg events; one 2026 review raised concerns about a venue-related issue left unresolved by organizers.
What guests love
- The crowd is consistently described as genuinely friendly, down-to-earth, and welcoming, making attendees feel at ease.
- Events are well-organized with a full schedule including live bands, DJs, themed parties, demonstrations, games, and activities throughout the weekend.
- Designated play spaces including an orgy bed and dark room are actively used and create a comfortable environment for group play.
- The Gettysburg takeover in particular draws a huge, energetic crowd of around 2,500 people, making it feel like a major event.
- First-time attendees report that the experience is therapeutic and leaves them excited to return.
- The social atmosphere and variety of activities make it easy to meet other couples and singles without pressure.
What guests complain about
- The hotels used are basic and not fancy, and the pool area in particular no longer matches promotional photos from earlier years.
- One recent group reported a serious issue with another attendee that the organization has not addressed.
- Some smaller takeovers (like the 100-person Sandusky event mentioned) have offered minimal daytime activities and limited success in connecting with partners.
- Hotel housekeeping standards have been inconsistent, with at least one recent takeover venue described as run-down and dirty.
- Smaller events may not draw a diverse enough crowd for everyone to find compatible partners.

I know this is 6 months old. We just came back from the gettysburg take over. The hotel they chose was run down and dirty. We had an issue with a play partner they are doing noting about as an organization.
Advice on finding people: My wife and I attended the Secret Sinsations takeover this past weekend and made friends with a couple but never got their contact information. We were going to exchange phone numbers with them but nobody had their phones with them at that time. Shortly after that exchange the wife and I left (we were staying at the overflow hotel). Both of us thought the other had gotten contact info from t…
There was an attendee list on sls but didn't see them. Worst case I believe they are attending next year's event. We are just hoping that somehow we can connect with them before then.
Secret Sinsations Hotel Takeovers - Reviews?: Secret Sinsations have a hotel takeover happening this weekend in Gettysburg, PA. Our experience with takeovers has been mixed and so we’re trying to do some background research before making the decision to drive up from DC. Almost all of the reviews on Reddit of Secret Sinsations events date from the pre-COVID era. It would be wonderful to hear from anyone who has been…
We have been to all but one of their Gettysburg events. They are the biggest ones that they put on as the last one had just south of 2500 people at it. They take over to full hotels for the weekend. They put on really good parties and the people who come are really down to earth and super nice. The hotel itself isn’t the fanciest place but it works for having a bunch of swingers attending for a weekend. Also don’t ex…
There is swapping, we have swapped and heard from friends of swapping. They also have a ball room turned into a “dungeon” with play rooms and an orgy bed that sees action along with a dark room for those into that kind of thing.
We went a year ago. Maybe just a hundred or so people. No pool activities, or anything else during the day. It was Halloween. Didn’t find anyone to hook up with. Not really our type of crowd. Seemed like a pretty rural crowd in Sandusky. We drove 2 plus hours and prob wouldn’t do it again.
You must be thinking of a different takeover because Secret Sinsations didn’t have a Halloween event in Ohio last year.
