Tony & Dawn - 08/05

2. There have been A LOT of staff changes. 4 bartenders have left in the last 3 weeks. For some of you veterans, Aneeka was fired a few weeks ago because she had the nerve to get pregnant during her first year of employment. Antoinette left last week to go back to school. And several of the guys (don't know their names). They moved Ivy from the nude bar to the main bar. Serena oversees the main bar and the nude bar now keeping an eye on Bevlyn and Sabrina the 2 newbies tending bar at the nude bar. They did a great job!!!!! The staff has been given tons more rules and limits, for example, they will REFUSE to serve you even a pepsi at the bar before 10am. They were warned they would get written up. They are no longer allowed to serve you at the nude bar if you are wearing clothes (it doesn't matter if you were sitting at the bar nude all day, as soon as you put clothes on, no more drinks for you! We saw a supervisor totally go off on Sabrina for it in front of everyone. He made her take the drinks away from the 2 (who had been naked 5 minutes earlier) and throw them away. At the midnight buffet, the staff freaks out if you sit in the "closed" section, they will get in trouble for letting you. Many of the EC's are new in the last 6 months, Spike, Romeo, Nick, Flex, and Secret are the only "old" ones. The rest are still virgins. They didn't know how to play several of the games, and had a lot of trouble getting people to participate when left up to themselves. They did try though, I give them an A+ for effort. They did skip several activities during the day but I think it was because most of them were planned for the nude pool and the nude pool wasn't even 1/2 full each day.

3. Good staff changes: in the dining room, they are much more attentative, because the supervisors are right there watching (and David wasn't even there this week). Unlike a recent report, I think the maids did a much better job. We normally didn't leave our room until 1030a and it was always cleaned by 12noon. Security was everywhere, including parading through the disco frequently each night. There have been several complaints on the message boards about the staff and it sounds like they listened, but almost too extreme. The staff seemed nervous most of the time instead of having their happy smiles on all the time. They need to have rules, but don't scare the crap out of them.

Psytopia..... I really don't mean to offend any of you (especially because most of you could kick my ass!) In my humble opinion, they were totally out of place! They were definately straight from Woodstock, non stop smoking pot EVERYWHERE! Sucking something out of balloons all the time. Loud, rude, disrespectful! They were very loud at the quad pool at night (luckily we didn't sleep there). Lucky for us we stayed on the nude side and they did not. I will admit that there were a few VERY nice couples in their group, but the group as a whole, were not very welcomed by the non psytopians. They had to constantly be told they could not smoke pot in the disco (the place was FILLED with smoke). I am not a prude by any means, but if I want to get high, I would like to choose when and how! And did you know how they get their hair to look like that? It is from years of not brushing it just letting it go...... gross! And yes as some have reported, the smell was bad from many of them. I have to give them credit for not letting the cancellation of their events ruin their trip though. I think their drugs helped them not care!

Something new that we had never seen before. There was a group of 22 young hottie girls brought in to "entertain". They were cute, little, perfect bodies (yes most of us wanted to drown them... ha ha). They participated in all the typical events, wet t-shirt, rump shaking, etc. They were in the disco each night giving a show. They only stayed on the prude side or quad during the day. They had a "madam" who directed them to what they were to do and not do and what to particpate in. They had a photographer to take the photos for publicity and for themselves. They also wore body painted outfits on several nights. Great eye candy!

Chippendales! The black chippendales were there, personally I found them annoying and not very good. So did most that I spoke to! Their show took way too long and for being at a nude resort with all the sexual antics that goes on, what they did was extremely innocent. Most the men guests there could "perform" better than them. They were also very arrogant and rude to guests around the resort.

Weather good-perfect. Rained a little the first day we were there, but only for 1/2 hour, then partly cloudy. Not a bad thing each day because you will burn with only an hour of sun. A few storms but they were cool. They were loud, luckily we didn't lose power and we didn't get too much rain. There was mainly just a lot of thunder. It was very humid.

The food: the best was the lunch buffet, really a great improvement. This is also the main meal that the new chef overseas. Scotch Bonnet/Regae Cafe same and same with the nude bar. Dinner buffet has really gone down hill A LOT! Not near as much to choose from or as good. I hope it is a spurt! Midnight buffet same as always, so so. They should really have the nude grill open late and forget the buffet.

We also figured out a new schedule (it only took us 10 trips). We normaly forced ourselves to go in around 530p ish for a nap then wake up very groggily at 830p to rush and go to dinner just to have down time afterwards until the fun began again at 12am. Well now we have it figured out, we are staying at the pool for as long as the fun lasts, nap at 8p til midnight, eat at the midnight buffet, and be ready for round 2!

Now on a personal note! To all my WOO WOO happy hour friends!!! Jeff and Renee thanks for getting it started, I did have to take over in your absence, and although I wasn't quite as persuasive as you, I think I did pretty good.

Allison and George, sorry your first day was so short and such a blur, but you were good sports and recovered very well! George, sorry I talked your ear off so much! Hope all your fantasies came true!!! Mike..... watch out, I hear there are sharks in the pool! Laura, the blond bombshell, Tony really enjoyed watching your ass while laying out!

Josie thanks for being on my side... ha ha! See ya next year! Larry and Diane you guys were great, thanks for the advance advice on teenagers! Rachel thanks for teaching me how to shake my ass, not sure I have mastered that, but I will have fun practicing!
