Decisions, decisions, decisions...
This is a bit long, but I really need the help...
My wife and I are planning a trip to for our 30th anniversary for early next year (Feb/Mar). We’re still early in the planning and a lot of things are still up in the air. We’ve never been to the H. clubs before. (We have been to Breezes in the Bahamas a couple of times a couple years back, so we know about the all-inclusive aspects.)
So what I’m curious about is this: Which should we pick Hedonism II or Hedonism III?
Here’s a little about us and some of our concerns. As I said, we going for our 30th. We’re both closing on 50, but not quite there (yes, married right out of high school). We’re both in reasonable good health (at least as healthy as middle class American that’ve taken one or two extra trips to McD’s can be), but we’re not hard bodies.
We’re not swingers. We enjoy a monogamous relationship (and I do mean enjoy). We also enjoy being nude in and around the house, but have never been nude in public or around other people. Regardless, we realize that it might be hard to take that first step, but we’re sure we can do it. More important, we want to do it!
Years ago we had an opportunity to spend some time on a deserted beach. My wife took her top off. She has said ever since that she wishes that she had taken her bottoms off too and would love to try a nude beach. I, on the other hand, have had the fantasy ever since of making love to her on a beach.
We’ve never been to a resort like this, but its something that we want to do. When I originally started planning this trip, I was thinking that we’d go to H-III, mostly because from the sound of it, it’s a newer property. H-II sounded like it was a bit run-down in some ways. I really liked the looks of the rooms at H-III. They looked brighter and airier. We won’t rule out some PDA’s (as I said, I do have the beach fantasy and since I’ve been planning this, I’ve developed something of a hottub fantasy), but I suspect that for most of our loving we’ll retire to our room, so that’s why that’s important. And I really liked the look of the tub in each room.
Then I started doing a bit more checking and now I’m not so sure. From what I’ve been reading the beach at H-III is no where near as fine as the beach, nude and otherwise, as at H-II. And beaches are central to what both of us want out of this. We’ll go to the pool. We’ll go to the hottub. We’ll go to the disco. But in the end, the beach could make or break this vacation.
We like the sound of the clothing optional areas (the quad) at H-III, but once we make the jump, will we care about that. We’ll be nude on the nude side and not nude on the prude side and will we care about that middle ground? Is there anything special about the quad and the quad pool that would make us want to pick that over the nude side when we want to be nude?
(One of the advantages of the quad, apparently, is that its not ‘no pictures’. I like to take a lot of pictures when on vacation and I definitely would like to have some snaps of us swimming – nude. You know...for the album.)
We plan on participating in the parties and theme nights. We think they sound like a lot of fun although we’ve never done anything like them before. They’re not why we’re going, though. Good food is also important, but that’s also not why we’re going (but bad food would definately make it harder to like). And although we enjoy to get a bit of a buzz from some liquid refreshment, we’re also not looking to wake up on the plane going home wondering if we had a good time.
(I know, we sound like hayseeds. We’re not, but mostly we don’t color outside the lines. Maybe this will be our coming out party...)
So there it is. I know that this ran long, but if anyone can help on this, I figured you would have to know a bit about us. If anyone thinks they could help, I would really appreciate it. Also, I know I’m pushing my luck, but if anyone has an opinion and would like to post it, if you would please say “why” you feel the way you do. If I get 100 yes/no replies that will help just by the volume, but if I only get a handful, knowing why you feel the way you do is just as important as which one you’d choose.
Thank you all very much for indulging me on this...
