* Hypocrite: [[spoiler: La Costa Lotta is supposed to be a ''Health' spa, and yet the food that they served is revealed to originate from a Roach Coach parked inside the kitchen. Also, despite serving more health-based drinks to guests, the employees secretly hide alcoholic beverages in their personal tent]]!

The game runs on the SCI 1 engine. Larry's movements are controlled with a point-and-click interface. Graphics use VGA again to make more elaborate sprites and detailed pictures of women, even if the colors are a bit garish, though the game no longer has placeholder backgrounds. Deaths were brought back, though they can very easily be undone.

* DistractedByTheSexy: To distract Daryl the gate guard and steal his handcuffs, you have to switch one of the cameras to the mud baths, specifically the women's shower room.



* SlidingScaleOfLinearityVsOpenness: A 5 on the scale. About 90% of the world can be explored immediately with minor obstructions blocking the rest, all women can be visited from the start and cleared in any order (except for Shamara, who is the end goal), and there is potential for exploration.

* DryCrusader: La Costa Lotta as a whole. Unfortunately for Larry, alcoholic beverages are not served to guests, due to La Costa Lotta being a ''health'' spa. All of the drinks served at the pool's bar are health-based (and watered down, thanks to being brought up from under the pool). Fortunately, there's plenty of beer in the employee's only area of the resort.






* GayOption: You can actually hook up with [[CampGay Gary]] the towel manager but it will result in a game over.

* NotCompletelyUseless: The zipper icon. Most of the time, it's used to either trigger a funny line or in one case, a game over. However, it does have a practical use, as utilising it on a match makes it lit instantly.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: If Larry goes to the mud bath still wearing his leisure suit, it melts and the narrator says La Costa Lotta keeps the temperature of their mud baths slightly higher than the melting point of polyester. He can survive if he takes it off before bathing, though. The melting point of polyester is somewhere around 482 degrees Farenheit or 250 degrees Celsius. No human, wearing a leisure suit or not, could survive bathing in such a temperature.

* SceneryPorn: While it's actually the previous game which made the switch to VGA, it still had many remnants of EGA graphics and placeholder backgrounds in it. This game, however, takes full advantage of the new color system and shows an illustrious resort in which all backgrounds feel complete, and the high-resolution SVGA version take this UpToEleven.
