First visit to Hedonism 3
Dec 9 thru 15, 2004
OK, where to start. We needed a vacation, one without children. We wanted an adult scene, no kids running up and down the hallways at all hours and screaming during our meals. We can get that at home. We wanted to be warm and inebriated, to sleep in and eat lots of food whenever. We had the dates grandma was available to manage the offspring we just needed a destination. Hmmm.
Angela found Super Clubs! All inclusive, same time zone, pay once, no more wallet required, kind of like a cruise ship on land! I remember hearing of Hedonism, Angela hesitated. We had gone to a nude beach on Maui once before. It was kind of an accident but we had a good time. The wheels turned! Hmmmm, warm, naked and inebriated. Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it?! We talked about it, researched it and decided to go with it! Reservations were made at Hedonism 3; money was allotted including funds for trip insurance and airfare/survival money for grandma who conveniently lives three quarters of the way across the country. Hmmm, all inclusive, all adult…..naked and warm (and drunk!). Has a nice ring….
Now we had four months of waiting, what now…. We found Denny P’s! (Wish we’d found him before we booked...next time). And then we found Denny P’s Visitor Schedule. We listed and sent emails to all who were going down while we were there. We were contacted by Nathan and Kristina. Angela who stays at home has the luxury of lots of on-line time. She started IM’ing with Nathan & Kristina and Nathan suggested, “Let’s start a Yahoo group for all those going to Hedo 3 the same time we are”! Nathan you are the man! Unknown to us at that time, this was the single best thing that could have happened to our vacation. Nathan became the “Notorious Group” creator and behind the scene web master, Angela became the inviter of new members. From that point on all who listed on Denny P’s Visitor Schedule were invited to join the group. Membership and participation were slow at first, just 21 posts in August but at some point it caught on. We had over 160 posts in October and over 280 posts in November! At some point Pat (my bruda from anudda mudda and fellow dread bro) became the Notorious graphics artist composing the now infamous “Notorious Cheat Sheet”, used by our group members to keep track of who was who. We started Sunday night chats that grew into happening whenever during the week video conferences. I had 8 screens open on my computer one night, most with a naked set of boobs and every once in a while sexual acts! Thank you those who shall remain nameless here, you know who you are! Towards the end it was more like the drunk, naked, weekly video chat. We ended up with 39 members, all but one or two of whom were couples. We even had poor Becky who’s significant other was still serving in the military in the middle east and didn’t arrive in country till shortly before departure (she then disappeared from the group chats…he he) (btb Gery, thanks for your military service). So what you ask? We now had about 75 friends we were going to be at Hedo with. On the scary side we went from “naked, so what, we won’t know anyone there”, to, “oh my god, we will be getting naked in front of all our new friends! Yikes!”
The wait was long and hard. Eased by our new group of friends we had suffering along with us. Desperately clinging to each new trip report, each new rumor, words of comfort from our Group (been to Hedo before) veterans and worst of all, suffering the worst hurricane season in recent years! But finally the day came when we had tickets in hand, grandma in place, bags packed with costumes, lotions, toys, rafts and yes Mark (or was it the Coz?) the extension cord.
Flight from the Washington Dulles airport to Montego Bay went fairly smoothly. We proceeded thru Jamaican customs and the fun began. We ran into Lori and Glen first and then Amber and Bill. We all cleared customs together, made a pit stop at the refreshment stand for beer and snacks and boarded our bus for Hedo3 with another group going to Breezes. (The entire airport event went very smoothly). It wasn’t a planned event but all going to Hedo sat at the back of the bus. There were I believe, ten of us, six of us from our Hedo group. The long dreaded bus ride from hell was a piece of cake! We drank, made a pit stop for more drinks about half way and Glen kept us laughing. The entire one hour and thirty minute ride (approximately) seemed to take about twenty five minutes! The breezes folks all sat quietly in their seats and admired the country side, the Hedo folks laughed and chatted and had a really good time. One of the couples going to breezes sitting towards the rear of the breezes group asked us where we were all going and if we were all traveling together. We told them we were going to Hedonism and that we had never met each other in person until we got to the airport. They said, “We wish we were going with you guys” or something to that effect. The difference between the two groups was very noticeable.
We made it! We stood in line to check in. I don’t remember how it happened, I suspect Glen had something to do with it, but we had drinks in hand before we had our room keys. We checked in, were escorted to our room and while Angela was changing into her bathing suit I looked out our back window and saw Curt and Rumi from our Yahoo group. They came straight to our door and decide to take us on a tour! Cool! The fun had really started! We headed back through the lobby, by the prude pool, out past the Scotch Bonnet and then along the board walk towards the nude pool. We walked around the back of the bar at the nude pool and suddenly heard a loud cry! “Angela!! Robert!!” There in the hot tub were at least a dozen of our Yahoo group friends. We’d never met any of them in person but recognized and knew all by name from the picture files at the site and our numerous video chats. We were immediately mobbed, our clothing removed from our bodies, dragged into the hot tub and given fresh drinks. Did I mention the fun had really begun! BTW, that was the end of our tour.
The rest is kind of a blur. Instead of a blow by blow (hey, a pun!) recount of the entire trip, I’ll give you the following:
We drank almost continuously for seven days. We were a bit hung over on the second day but settled into pacing ourselves a bit and trying to drink water between each Dirty Banana, Miami Vice, Sea Breeze, etc... We are not big drinkers, have no idea how we drank so much but it worked great… A quick aside, I can’t continue without mentioning our now dear friends Lynn and Jay here. Jay got carried to his room by three large hairy naked men (good job to Adam, Coz and Shawn) (forgive me if I got the names wrong, maybe Mark?? alcohol you know), the result of drinking too much too fast. He doesn’t even remember what a great time he was having! Don’t let this happen to you! Where’s the camera when you need it!! Sorry Jay…he he he…
We generally go to bed very early (work and young children). The earliest we went to bed on this trip was about 2 am, the latest 4:30 am. Don’t think we ever slept past 8 or 9. Don’t know how we did it, never really felt tired. Took a few naps, generally unplanned events after sex.
We pre-tanned at a local tanning salon (or for Pat – tanning saloon) and kept SPF 30 on at all times. We spent a lot of time in the sun, sailing, pool volley ball, drinking etc. The sun there is HOT! And this was in December. Many rules that we made before we went got broken, the no sunburn rule didn’t. We saw sunburns, be careful! We also saw the most amazing tan…you looked great Julia!!
Weather was great, very comfortable temperatures day and night. We had sunshine all day long pretty much every day. Think we might have had one day with clouds in the morning. It rained pretty hard there one evening, but it didn’t change our schedule at all. We continued drinking and just sat a bit lower in the hot tub to keep warm.
Where are the bugs? We came armed with sprays and lotions and never used any of them, not once. Never saw a mosquito the entire time we where there. There could not have been any because if there were, they would have found Angela. Saw some cockroaches … that’s it, no problems with flies, fleas or any other creepy, crawly.
Swingers, yes they are there. We really aren’t into that…much…yet. They were very considerate. We were approached several times and with the exception of one couple all were very respectful of us. One older (but not unattractive) couple really put the pressure on us to be with them. It took a very direct, “we aren’t interested” to get the point to them. Later we found out from others in our group that they had the same experience with that couple.
Single guys, what are you thinking? We didn’t travel to Hedo to put on a sex show for you. It’s so wonderful to be with the one you love out under the stars drinking exotic frozen drinks in the hot tub with friends and then you realize you’re being watched. Doesn’t sound to bad writing it here but man is it creepy, well maybe annoying, having some guy sitting next to you in the hot tub who doesn’t say anything, but just blatantly stares! “What are you looking at!!?” Especially weird when they out number you as they did a few times. There were some great single guys there. Maybe two or three who took the time to talk and be polite, thank you Mark and Shawn. Tough act going to Hedo as a single guy. You need good manners, a strong self image and a whole bunch of social skills. Unless you’ve got these, don’t do it! Your great body and huge member might help you but more then likely will not.
Playboy was there! Totally accidental, we found out after we had booked. We were a bit concerned, thoughts of porn stars running around, lots of swingers showing up or maybe lots of single guys. We didn’t know but were concerned they would detract from our trip. Nope, it was fine. It actually added an entertaining aspect to the trip. They didn’t “take over” the resort and actually turned out to be a very pleasant group, not bad looking either! Would like to compliment Evan Stone (hope spelling is correct). What a gentleman. Aside from being quite a sight, holly shit, you are one pleasant guy. Taking time to stop and talk, join us for drinks etc., very impressive. We wish you the best!
The food was alright. Munasan and the Scotch Bonnet didn’t do much for us, not terrible, we would eat there again. We thought the nude beach grill was good, the Tropical Terrace better, even pretty good and the best food was at Pastafari. There was always plenty of food and we never went hungry, for that matter we never went sober…I mean thirsty either.
Rooms were fine. Not first class but nice. Playboy channel on the tube (we saw Evan in action!), big bed with a mirror on the ceiling that wasn’t so much sexy as it was amusing. It was warped and distorted your image hysterically, remember we had been drinking. We were in a pool front room in the quad and the showers are right there for everyone to watch you. Occasionally we would close the blinds but most of the time we just let the world watch.
Hope sex doesn’t offend you. If so Hedo isn’t your destination. The nude pool area has frequent open displays of affection, mostly at night but even on occasion in broad daylight. We didn’t see anything overt in the quad area with the exception of the quad hot tub at night where it could get pretty lively. There were swingers swapping, groups just playing around and couples going at it. Never saw any ourselves but did hear of single guys helping themselves and rumor of one gay event going on one night somewhere over towards the nude beach. The atmosphere at the hot tubs at night can change from really cool to a bit creepy then back to really cool again in a very short period of time. It is absolutely dependent on who is there and what you consider cool. There are pretty strong sexual overtones going on there which was part of Hedo’s magic for us. We frolicked like we haven’t in a long time. Sex in our room with the doors and windows wide open, sex on the pier with the waves breaking below us and the stars above, doing it in the sauna, on beach chairs at the pool, at the hot tubs, with other people right there! It’s very different from how we normally conduct our sex life, it was really great!
We were naked a lot. Although we did spend a lot of time at the nude side, our room was at the quad which was clothing optional. We chose the nudity option and spent a lot of time there in the hot tub, laying in the sun and playing volley ball. After several days we walked back and forth between the quad and the nude side naked. We also went on nude excursions to the prude side to play on the water slide fairly regularly.
Be sure to visit the piano bar, you will have fun! “Oh shit mon!”
The best part of our trip was our friends. It was so nice showing up at Hedo and knowing so many people. Our only regret is that our group did not schedule all our trip dates to coincide so a few left before we arrived, most left within a few days of our arrival and a few more arrived as we were leaving. It was also hard to spend time with everyone we wanted to because, well, we were drinking too much and we just kind of lived for the moment which means very little thought or planning went into anything we did. Trying to round up even 6 people to meet somewhere for a picture was almost impossible because you find yourself constantly distracted which was nice but again, made it hard to maintain any type of continuity, great vacation!
What could be improved:
- Temperature in the hot tubs was very inconsistent. From cold to lobster pot hot.
- Pool towels are a commodity. Grab em while you see em cause you might not get another chance.
- I think the power failed at least once a day while we were there. Your bedside clock is constantly lying to you.
- Quad hot tub is great at night except the bar closes early… too early. Next closest is at the nude pool. It’s a long walk but you’re naked and warm so it’s cool.
- We lost water pressure in our room periodically. Actually we might have lost it a lot but we were very rarely in our room.
- There are lots of very slippery areas and unexpected step ups or downs and you’re drunk. Pat took a nasty fall bringing drinks back to the hot tub. Tried to walk on water and proved he wasn’t qualified for the task. Heroic effort successfully saving that drink however. Bill also miss-stepped and ended up on the ground or in the pool, we will need a ruling on that. Fortunately he too was well lubricated and avoided any serious injuries. Be careful! This brings us to…
- If you get a cut or a scratch, it’s going to get infected. Go see the nurse before you cause yourself unnecessary suffering.
- Don’t pack valuables in your checked baggage. Two different couples in our group had things removed from their bags, they suspect at the Montego Bay Airport. Angela thinks it might have been three couples, we are not sure.
In all we had a very nice experience and made some great friends. We went whole days without thinking about the children or work or responsibilities. We would go back and probably will eventually. Actually hoping we can convince our group to give H2 a try next time. In ending we’d like to say:
Ray & Ann / Chris & Vince. We are very sorry we never got to meet you guys. We hope more thought is put into scheduling our next trip and that we can actually meet you then.
Jamie of Ellie & Jamie. Who would have thought your twin brother from out of town would have been there?! What are the odds!?
Becky & Gery and Jim and Betsy. Thank you guys so much. It was pretty unnerving walking up to the prude side being led in by Angela on a leash and collar. Seeing you guys all fetished out really worked for me!
Amber of Amber & Bill. More balls than most guys I know! The lingerie show! Wow! You rock!
Christine & Kevin. We were going to give you the customary Hedo nude wave off but then something happened and the next thing we knew, you were gone. dam…
Karen & Terry. You guys are Hedo gods! You put the Hedo in Hedonism!
Mark & Beth. We are both standing and applauding!! Also, kudos on that dice game thing! We are hoping to play it with you again! Soon!
Chris & Monique. Nice turtle, Chris you lucky bastard!
Larry & Susan and Pat & Tammy. The Notorious representatives from the Great White North!
Curt & Rumi. Sorry we never got to finish that tour or have dinner with you that night. Great trick with the pool chair and the fancy pool entrance! And thanks for the Playboy shirt.
Glen & Lori. Thanks for “working” us into the line at Immigration and for making the bus ride so enjoyable.
Jay & Lynn. Yes, we need a weekend getaway. Soon!
Michelle. Angela say’s thanks for the body glitter!
Dan & Dre and Larry & Cathy. We really regret not getting to spend more time with you guys. Sure hope you’ll join us again on another trip!
Pat & Tammy. It’s just all good! J
All the group chat regulars! Michelle & Mark, Chris & Julia, Glen & Lori, Becky, Chris & Monique, Ray & Carol, Dan & Kim, Curt & Rumi, Jay & Lynn, Larry & Susan, Nathan & Kristina, Terri & Adam.
Many more should be mentioned but Angela say’s this is getting too long and I have to stop now. One last item, thank you again Pat & Tammy and Lynn & Jay.
