Hedonism III
 
Flight & Transportation
Departed Fort Lauderdale via Air Jamaica .  Flight departed and arrived exactly on time.  Whisked through customs then waited a few minutes to board the bus for the ride to Hedonism III.  We made the customary stop for Red Stripes then it was back on the road.  The driver bobbed and weaved through traffic but got us there in one piece.  By the way, the flight back was exactly the same.
 
The Resort
We were very impressed with the tropical colors, landscaping and the layout of the property.  The lobby is bright, airy and colorful.   While checking in we noticed that everyone passing through looked very relaxed and scantily clad.  We were assigned room 733.  Our room was nicely designed with a small dressing area, a separate sitting area with window and bathroom.  Lots of mirrors on the walls and on the ceiling.  The entire room was tiled.  There were two windows, one over the love seat and the other over the whirlpool bath.  Both windows can be opened so you can have an unobstructed view of the ocean and the nude volley ball court.  In our opinion, the entire resort is nicely designed out and each building is within easy walking distance to all of the activities.  The four buildings surrounding the clothing optional pool, also known as the "quad", would be the longest walk to the nude beach, pool and Jacuzzi but not by much. Keep in mind that the entire resort is on approximately 15 acres of land, so in other words it is very compact.
 
Restaurants
We have read mixed reviews of the restaurants so we decided to keep an open mind.  We dined in all of the restaurants and found them all to be excellent.  The Japanese restaurant "Munahana" has four tables that seat eight at each table.  They are very strict about reservations and will call your room if you are not there within five minutes of your reservation.  The Italian restaurant "Pastafaris" is great and the menu changes every few days to give greater variety.  We dined there several evenings.
 
The Jamaican restaurant "Scotch Bonnet" is a two story building over looking the ocean.  It is situated between the prude and nude beach.  The atmosphere is casual and the view of the sunset from the second story is great.  The food is good and very basic.
 
The nude beach grill has good food and keeps pretty much the same menu as the Scotch Bonnet.  We hardly strayed from the nude beach grill for lunch.  Why spoil your afternoon by having to put on clothes?
 
The general dining room is where you eat breakfast and at night, a place where you can eat dinner and watch a show.  Most of the theme nights begin in this area and then move to the disco.
 
We suggest making reservations for four or six persons.  Why?  So you can invite new friends to dinner.  This was a mistake we made.  We made our reservations for the rest of the week all in one shot.  A few couples invited us to dinner so we canceled our reservations and joined them.  Make your reservations early and if you can't keep them, cancel them so others can get a seat.  You can make reservations during the day at the guest relations desk which is next to the activities desk.  After normal hours you may make reservations at the check in desk.
 
As for the dress.  We wore shorts on one occasion and felt underdressed.  So after that we dressed a little nicer.  There were a lot of men who were wearing pants and females who were wearing sexy dresses.  I know it is Hedonism and less is best but we did notice that people were dressed up for dinner.  If your a guy, take two pairs of wrinkle free pants to wear just in case.  If your a female take some sexy clothing.
 
Activities
We could not muster the energy to do any activities either on or off the property.  By the way, activities outside of the resort are not available on Sunday.  Activities at the resort, i.e., snorkeling, kayaking, glass bottom boat ride, are available seven days a week.  The water slide is great and a must to do in the nude.  The piano bar is a nice get away and place to get a quick drink.  The disco is nice but very loud.  On one occasion, an employee turned on the water slide at 4:00 a.m. so a group of us could go down it.  The employee even joined in.  The employees, in general, go the extra mile to make you happy.
 
Theme Nights
We participated in a few of the theme nights but as the week progressed we chose to find our own activities.
 
The nude beach area and amenities
Although some people complain about the size of the Jacuzzi, pool, deck area and beach, we found that the smaller size makes for better socializing.  Unfortunately the fountain in the pool and the waterfall which cover the grotto was still out of service.  There are several umbrellas and palm trees to keep you out of the sun if necessary.  There was only one day that we could not find any beach towels but that was because the laundry was late.  The towels soon came.  Our advise is not to pack towels.  Use the extra luggage space to pack a float.
 
Sex
Yes please!  Within the first fifteen minutes of entering the nude pool we witnessed two very attractive females licking rum cream off of each others pu**ies.  Then a third girl joined in as the activities coordinator continued to pour the rum.  All of a sudden one of the girls reached up and began fondling the activities coordinator.  (How come our guidance counselor never told us about this job?) This pretty much set the tone for the week.  We don't want to give the impression that this was going on all day long but there was plenty of PDA's all week long.  Underwater *ucking, oral sex (for both) and open sex does occur.  The activities coordinator announced several times "no eating the coochie before six o'clock."  The security guard pretty much goes around and tells those who are "doing it" to stop.  We just pretended not to hear her.  Better yet, do it on the tables in the pool.  The security guard will have to get in the water to stop you.  Not!
 
At night, the hot tub gets active around 1:00 a.m. and can go until sunrise.  What happens in the day time also happens at night.  A little bit more occurs under the cover of darkness.  We did not have any problems with single males, in fact we met a couple of them who were very respectful and just wanted to enjoy themselves.  If the Vinnies or Wallies are a bother at the nude Jacuzzi or it is to crowded, invite some of your new friends to the Jacuzzi in the quad area.
 
Don't go there and expect a sex show.  You may luck out or not.  Take the initiative to get the party started.  It seamed like, at times, everyone was waiting for some one else to get the ball rolling.  I guarantee that if you initiate the activity first, you will soon find others doing the same thing.  It is very contagious.
 
If you are looking to hook up with like minded couples, no problem there also.  Strike up conversations, you will find them.
 
Be Courteous
Sure you paid good money to go to Hedonism III and expect good service. The fact is the employees there are just like you and I.  We have good days and bad days.  Many of the employees there travel long distances and work sixteen hour days.  We did not encounter one employee who was rude or unhelpful.  It was very rare to see an employee who was not smiling.  Say "thank you" often and ask them how they are doing.  The Jamaicans are proud people and unlike many of us, need very little to be happy. It sure is an eye opener and makes you realize just how lucky you are.
 
The entertainment coordinators are very talented and work very long days.  We noticed that the coordinators will sit and eat breakfast with guests in the main dining hall.  We don't know where they get all of their energy.  Crazy Sean and Romeo are great!
 
Thank you
We highly recommend that you use Denny's site.  Thank you Denny!  Email those who will be there the same time as you.  Exchange photographs so you can recognize one another.  We met so many great people there.  For instance, Margie/Larry who made a reservation for us at Pastafaris prior to us arriving.  That was great since our first night there was our wedding anniversary.  Dave/Carolyn who made sure Larry/Margie were sober enough to make the reservation.  Mike/Paula, Jim/Mandy, Jenn/Aaron, Jenn/Tony, Tim/Allison, Gerald/Kellie, Monique/Duncan, Alliet/Honey and all the of others that we unfortunately can not remember their names.  Oh, we almost forgot.  We want to thank the three beautiful women who entertained us with the body shots on May 29th.  To the entertainment coordinators and staff, great job!
 
Would we go back?  You bet!  Believe it or not, the first night we got back home, I dreamt that I was sitting in the nude Jacuzzi.  Tiffany said that I kept feeling her up while I was sleeping.  We have already been on the phone with our travel agent making arrangements for our trip back to Hedonism III.  We have been back for a little over 24 hours and miss it already.  The only way to get over the D.I.F. is to plan our next trip.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email us.
