HEDONISM for Young Couple
 
Hi gang, <BR>need some advice here. My girlfriend and I are thinking about going to Hedonism II in JAmaica. What's it like? Are the stories true about large naked people everywhere? I heard there's a nude side and a prude side. Which one do you recommend for a 23yr old and a 22 yr old. We're both in pretty good shape but I dont know about going all nude. Is there a lot of unsolicited sexual advances? What's the age group of other travellers? <BR>Thanks!

Go to Hedinosom 3 its much nicer and not as trashey. There is a nude and prude side of the resort, but you do get the nudes that come over on the prudes side. The nude side is only for nudes or parcially clothed people.It is a very nice resort the room are wonderful. You will see thing you probabley never seen before while you are there so have a open mind. As far as getting hit on We found it not to be a problem.

A bunch of fat people walking around naked, lonely guys assuming they will get laid, and the constant annoyance of having said "losers" hit on your girlfriend..Yeah, that sounds like a great vacation!

Kimmie, <BR>Is HEdonism III in Jamaica as well? Are they separate resorts? Is this like Spring Break for adults? I'm thinking about going. <BR>Thanks!

You're WITH your girlfriend and you're going to Hedonism 1,2 or 3? Yuck. It's no place for you -- go anywhere in Jamaica but.

Kimmie Aug 3rd, 2001 12:21 PM

Hedonism III is a different resort then Hedonism II. Yes, its in Jamaica but not in Negril its in Runaway Bay. I guess you can say it's a little like spring break. It gets wild at night!

Jay --here are some alternatives to Hedonism you might want to check out that might be of more than routine interest to a couple in their 20s for a first-time island visit:In Negril,young,resorty,hip (just don't go on spring break or when mtv/jerry springer are there),with plenty to do without subjecting yourself to naked comparisons with 'big bamboo':COUNTRYCOUNTRY, ROCKHOUSE or THE CAVES. In Treasure Beach;JAKE'S.In Port Antonio:DRAGON BAY or MOONSAN. Go to the smaller places without organized activities and package tourists.You'll not only get more bang for your buck,you'll see more of the real Jamaica <BR>than beer-swilling competitions. Your girlfriend will be far more appreciative as well...

Go to Breezes Runaway Bay instead. Lots of fun activities. Lots of single but not as wild as the HEDOS. No kids are allowed so you still have the adults only but geared more to watersports and pool fun, not the sex. Great night life also. Have fun.

THanks so much for the info. guys! <BR>We're looking over brochures from the travel agent and deciding this week.

Jay, it's been two years. Tell us what happened. Did you and your gal get hitched?

rwilliams Sep 4th, 2003 10:43 AM

Jay and his &quot;gal&quot; had a final falling out on the Jerry Springer show. She ran off with his father's bisexual Buddhist roommate and he is now a stunt double for Verne Troyer of Austin Powers fame.

Thanks for the update, rwilliams.

It may have changed now, but at HEDO II the back wall of the disco had windows that looked into the bottom of the pool. Guess what you will see. The rooms I remember had white &amp; gold colors with mirrors on the ceiling. Kinda trashy, but people had alot of fun. The people are usually not the sort you would &quot;want&quot; to see naked. think of all the folks on your regular vacations you see, and now picture them nude at a buffet. It's kinda like that...:-))
