Hedonism?
Yoshi and I are considering a trip to either Hedonism II or Hedonism III in Jamaica later this year and wanted to see if any of our TFP buddies had any input? Has anyone ever been to this "adult playground" resort and can they tell us any of their tales from it?
Thanks!

I stayed next door to HedoII at the Grand Lido Negril. My wife and I walked through HedoII's grounds in the early afternoon, and the place looked completely dead; kind of like a frat house the morning after a party. Perhaps the evenings are wild; however, if I'm in the islands, I want to be out during the daytime.

I just read the article from the above thread, and it sounds like a great place for mid-life age couples, but not for single, straight, younger adults. I would have expected, just from the name Hedonism, that it would be like a group sex porn movie all day & night. Alas, it's just a swingers vacation spot. |

What really confuses me is why people would pay to go there and then stay on the prude side...did you not know what you were getting into?

That's what i did. they'd go off to play Swap the Swimsuit and other random bits of silliness, I joined them for volleyball and other events... I didn't go to Club Med expecting to get laid every five minutes, but one of my travelling companions, we didn't see a lot of after dark (so unless he slept on the beach, we could only assume that he was in the companion of a lady) I wouldn't go back to Club Med if my life depended on it, but not because of all the debauchery that went on, I didn't like the summer camp atmosphere, and the group sing along at night... Get rid of that, and I'm back, it was paradise, didn't matter if others were walking around in the buff, i wasn't going to... (and I've been to nudist resorts, that's different)

I see what you're saying. But Club Med, I think, can be a lot of things to a lot of different people. (For one, kids go there.) I feel like it's pretty obvious, when looking into Hedonism, what it's about...so why go there unless you can take full advantage of it?

all I'm saying is that I think a place like Hedonism has a certain, very specific reputation, and why go if you don't feel you fit into what they're offering?
