Maarten - 01/01

My idea for a perfect vacation was to relax during the day, listen to music and read some...and when evening calls....enjoy drinks & above average nightlife.

As I had to go alone, and never visited but always had a warm heart for Jamaica, I found myself to choose between Hedonism's no.II & III.

After reading the reports & other info I choose H-III as H-II was probably too much more energy and too much focused on that 50 single men desperately hoping to score about one of 5 single women. Maybe I'm wrong but...

Through surfing & posting dates I hooked up with some people prior & joined an internet originated group called "Dirty Bananas".

Travel to- uneventful. Delta was on-time both from Amsterdam & Atlanta, the bustrip "Ja-Man" with that red-stripe half way ok and check-in within moments.

I will never take risk of single share next time. I found I really need that privacy.

Rooms are spacious & bathroom jacuzzi a good pre-party relax. I was in building #7, which was very conveniently located. Guess #6 is the best...

I only had to go 2 times barely naked in the mid'l of the nite to front desk looking for somebody to let me in after i once again left my key in the room.

Food- OK. I love the Pastafari restaurant food. But also the other restaurants were pretty decent. Scotch Bonnet is a nice setting with nice food.

Entertainment- Some good entertainment. Liked the Beachparty & togaparty. Pyama party wasn't what it could have been.The bare as you dare was great.

Staff- Great..Foxy, where were you when I unpacked my suitcase back home...you weren't there. Most friendly, sometimes a little too..but...

Facilities- Wow I like the slide. Pretty good. The glass bottom hot tub did not add anything to the party. Disco was nice, but music choice sometimes needs upgradeAfter hearing Sweet Dreams for the 4th time my own sweat dreams were ready to kick in (or out). Piano bar also a nice hang-out.

Beaches were not impressive. Buildings looks nice. Layout is nice. Nude pool area small, but reasonably adequate. Hot tub ok, but temperature control leaves some to desire.

Sports- I did waterski & pool volleyball. I brought my fitness stuff but workouts did not work out for me. Soon come man. I leave scuba for my next trip.

Drinks- plentiful. Barservice at times slow(nudepool) or non-existing (quad pool at night). However, quality ok and mostly served with that big jamaican smile. No problem man ! And...I will never drink'n drive again (LOL).

Drugs- Well...I'm from Amsterdam,Holland...need to tell more ? No serious, I tried but don't think I really need that stuff..... But it's easy to get..

People- It's the people that make this place. Therefor, the rest is getting of less importance if you run into the right people with the right attitude ! The group called "Dirty Bananas" was a group of mainly very nice & friendly people, all sharing the same desire of fun & sun. Respect has always been Number 1 and yes, everybody got respect for each other. "What a wonderful world it could be".

Nudity- No problem man. Just take it all off, take a drink & enjoy. Life has never been easier.

Sex- Yes there was but in the right proportions. No XXX hardcore things which I guess nobody in the group was really looking for. Want to know more...body shots, dirty dice games, (1-10)somes throughout the place...but never too much "in your face".

Travel from- As I was late for the bus, I was still in beach short with shirt & sandals entering the bus. I thought I would've had some time at the airport to change to warmer clothes..I was wrong. After arrival I was pulled through the lines, as Air Jamaica/Delta cancelled one of their flights to Atlanta & pulled me on an earlier one leaving me no time to change clothes.

So cold on the plane. Have you ever tried to change clothes in the toilet of a plane ? Guess getting membership of the Miles high club is easier? Flight back to Amsterdam uneventful.

Problems- No problem man, come soon. I only experienced some small physical damages plus lack of sleep. Well I'll take vacation to recoop from that.Guess I got to too much into the action & forgot my physical limitations.

Overall- I had a great time. I miss you all fellow dirty bananas. Let's keep in touch !!! One world..ONE LOVE !
