Happily yesterday my wife texted me and said we need to find a sitter for the kids and head to Hedo! Wooo hooo!!

 

Of course this was in the middle of a rough work day, so it was more out of frustration and need for some time off. SO we are not headed there tomorrow.

 

But we have discussed going at some point.

 

I have been reading about different resorts. Hedo II, II, Caliente, Desires etc. Both in US mainland and abroad.

 

Which, if any, are you more prone to find other swingers (rather than just nudist) and actually be able to have encounters? From what I have read it is actually rare unless you go as a group. Is there a different type vacation venue than these resorts for meeting swingers?

 

And is there a forum, site, etc, where you can meet and chat with other people that are going before you get there for any of these resorts? As fun as having encounters sounds, we would still prefer we know them BEFORE we have sex with them, and if we could get to know them ahead of time, that much the better.

Hedo 2 is FUN, but it's not actually a swingers resort although you will find swingers there as well as those who are just "swingers" while at Hedo. DennyP's is the best resource for info on Hedo.

 

For a swingers resort in the states we'd suggest checking out The Grove. Not nearly as expensive as Hedo , but almost as much fun, and it is a true swingers place.

Thank you TNT. We are not too far from The Grove. Not exactly my wife's ideal vacation spot, lol. She is not really an outdoorsy girl. But maybe I can convince her to give it a try.

Caliente is a great place...a bit pricey but worth it.

 

Two sites we frequent, NaughtyOutlaw.com and Playfulswingers.com, have threads posted about Caliente and what's going on. There are frequent parties and many posts by a number of people who are going and want to meet others.

 

We're headed there tomorrow and have invited friends to stay in a condo with us...I intend to be raw when I leave there Sunday...hehe. :D

 

Caliente offers three lodging choices...condo, hotel, casita...

 

We prefer the 2-bedroom condo. Think high-end time-share.

The hotel is nice (mirror on the ceiling) and very close to the clubhouse.

The casita's are small, beautiful mobile homes.

 

Caliente is not a campground...in fact, there's no dirt at Caliente. There's an island in the pool with palm trees and a waterfall at one end. The roads are paved and the grounds are beautifully kept. If you want to go to the clubhouse, just call the desk and they'll send a golf cart to pick up your naked-self and haul you all over the property...when you're ready to head to your accommodations...they'll take you back.

 

Wanna eat naked? Have at it! How about a great club to party in? Got it!

 

The sports-themed restaurant is our favorite...but we have most of our meals in the condo.

 

Two rules that must be followed: 1. When naked, always have towel to sit on, 2. No overt sexual acts in public.

 

If you do some shopping with Caliente you can find the occasional deal...we got a 2 bedroom condo for 4 nights and 5 days including day-fees for Mrs. Ekies and I for $700 including taxes as long as we sit through a 45 minute "Get acquainted with Caliente" presentation (they have assured me it's not a sales presentation)...our friends will have to pay their own day fees of $50 per person per day.

 

While Caliente is not a swingers resort it does have parties and events that are affiliated with swing groups. You will, on occasion, see a family of four at the pool enjoying themselves but the clubhouse is off-limits to anyone under age after 9:00 pm.

 

We think anyone would enjoy a stay at Caliente...especially if you arrange to meet friends...hehe. :D

 

And it's in the states...less than a days drive from Alabama and less than an hour from Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay, Rays Baseball, Clearwater and a host of other interesting sites.

 

Have fun, whatever you do.

 

Trace and Mrs. Ekies

Under age? I did not even think about that. Are most of the resorts considered nudist? In other words, minors will be there as well?

 

Thanks for the info Trace!

Hedo is adults only with single men allowed. Desire is adult couples only.

 

As far as I know, all of the resorts in Florida are nudist resorts that have families who attend. Of the dozen trips we've made to Caliente, we've seen a family of four only once. A husband and wife with two children that were 10 years old, plus or minus. With nothing sexual going on, having children around didn't bother us in the least.

 

Caliente has hosted a number of Aahz parties at their facility which are swinger based events. This weekend they have theme nights in the club both Friday and Saturday nights...something about g-strings and animal prints...

 

The fact is, they cater to nudists as well as the sexy and erotic side of nudity. We bring a lot of money when we come and they want our business. We, in turn, keep the overt sexual stuff to ourselves and our friends behind closed doors.

 

It seems like an even trade that works for all.

I just had not given it much thought that children may be there. We are still wrestling with issues of nudity, etc in our household, (in another thread). We know where our brains are logically, we are just still struggling with it in action.

 

Having kids there is fine, we would be discreet sexually in public, even if it was not a rule. But it is better to know kids might be around before hand so we could wrap our brain around it. Still working on issues from a puritanically upbringing and being more open with our children, so they are not as prudish as we were (are still to a degree, lol) on the subject of sex and nudity.

We started with nudity as a form of recreation about 4.5 years ago...our daughter, the oldest, was nearly 11 at the time and we didn't think that introducing her at that age was wise or doable.

 

For kids who've been raised as nudists, I, like you, see no problem with them at a resort such as Caliente. They played like other kids, swam in the pool and hung out with mom and dad (pardon the pun).

 

But after 9:00 at the club or in the hot tubs...not good for kids...VERY good for adults.

We visited Caliente a couple of years ago. It is a very nice place but pretty expensive and it is NOT a swingers resort, in that there were many nudist families with small kids around the pool when we visited.

This summer we stayed at Paradise Lakes. It was not as opulent as Caliente, but then again it was much less expensive. I did see one kid while I was at Paradise but that was only for one day. At both places over sexual behavior was not allowed. Paradise has a night club and while we were there SDC sponsored several theme type swingers parties. I think Caliente has themed parties as well.

We have not been to Hedo but were at Desires four times. Top notch service and well worth the money even though it is pricey. However it is an all inclusive (unlike the ones stateside that I mentioned). Hooking up can be hit and miss at Desires but that can happen at any visit to a club stateside.

I live 20 minutes south of Paradise and Caliente. I'm a straight male that can sometimes find a girlfriend to play. Anyone wanting to visit the area and looking for a friend, tour guide, information please contact me and i will get what you are needing. I'm mostly available on weekends as i work my life away during the week but evenings and weekends are free. I'm quite knowledgeable about the swing clubs and activities in the Tampa area so I'll be as helpful as possible.

      We just returned from our stay at Hedonism 2 in Jamaica and the worst part of it was having to leave. I wanted to thank everyone here and those that left reviews elsewhere for your recommendation. We were NOT disappointed. While many people are in different stages of the lifestyle with different interests, I wanted to provide my feedback to help them decide or provide some insight for those just getting started in the lifestyle.
       
      The facility was laid out very well, while they have a nude side and a prude side, either side is perfectly fine to choose and it is a very short walk should you choose to explore. The so called prude side, housing and beach, is the perfect place to spend the morning recovering from the night before or simply hang out in a quiet place for peaceful morning, relaxation and enjoy a more private intimate moment with your spouse or simply open a book to read. Clothing is optional, so do expect to see both nude, partially nude and fully clothed people. 
       
      The Nude side, is the perfect place for party time, anything goes to the wildest and most open forms in sexual interaction. The best way to describe the beach is 0 to 10. You can choose to be totally isolated at the very end of the beach where it starts on the border to the next resort and can walk down to the other end  which ends up being a non stop 24/7 party! You can basically walk along (a short easy walk) and choose to stay wherever you like. While being nude is required for this side, you can still expect to see some people with some sort of covering, sheer/lace, hat even a sarong. 
       
      Logistics:
      The Food is delicious, all kinds of food available for just about every taste, the staff is also familiar to help you with any food allergies and sensitivities. Don't hesitate to ask should you have some concerns regarding the ingredients, the staff is very friendly and happy to get any questions answered. On one occasion, (Asian Food Night) the chef came out personally went over which dishes contained gluten and pointed out what was safe. I stopped him half way through because there was more than enough to eat. Plates, Silverware, Napkins were all very clean, staff visited the table often to top off drinks and take away any plates.
       
      The Bars were fully stocked, the drinks were properly mixed and no sense of being watered down or weak like we saw at other resorts. If you want an extra strong drink, they were happy to oblige but the standard drink was as you would expect. 
      While they didn't have bottled water, you are given a reusable container with plenty of fill stations. The refill stations throughout the resort are triple filtered with UV to provide safe clean drinking water. The water was clean, odorless and tasted as you would expect from bottled water.
       
      The pools were clean and open to everyone, most of which are clothing optional with the exception of the one group of pools at the end of the nude side which was nude only. While there are several small pools through the resort, it was no trouble to find one that you can enjoy alone time with your mate. Same would go for hot tubs, plenty to choose from, private and open both nude and clothing optional.
      The nude side has a row of pools, semi warm one with a swim up bar, snack bar, wading pool (warm), waterfall that is a fence for a more private cave, large open hot pool, large cold pool and a smaller hot tub which is very warm. All of which are connected and easy to jump from pool to pool.
       
      Nude Side:
      - Do expect 99% to be Nude
      - Do expect to view open sexual activity, everywhere, on the beach, on the deck, around the pool, in the pool, on the floating dock, in the water, on the sand...... everywhere but inside the restaurants.
       
       
      Maintenance:
      While some did frown upon one pool or one room being closed as a given time, this is a good thing to be honest. The resort is basically a 24/7 establishment, there has to be a time where they perform maintenance and not every single room can be open 100% of the time. The resort is working hard to keep the property updated and clean, the closing of some rooms and pools should be expected. Nobody wants to go to a 'run down' resort. They are very conscious to maximize up time. For example, when we arrived the "Kamasutra Palace" was closed, we were a little upset at the moment but we saw that it was being repainted, new lighting fixtures being installed, floors being refinished and the whole building inside and outside being pressure washed. The next day, we went to find the other play room, just to find it closed but a sign hanging stating that the Kamasutra Palace was reopened and taking the place of the second play room. The same maintenance was going on there at the time. So there was always a play room open and while closing of any room sucks, it is nice to know they are keeping the buildings maintained and clean.
       
      We saw two pools closed during our stay which was no big deal as there were still many to choose from. I was surprised that they drained one pool, scrubbed, painted, made repairs and was refilled and back in operation within 48 hours. I've seen pools closed for weeks at hotels to make these types of repairs. I saw their crew out there in the dark working until it was reopened.
       
      Rooms: While the rooms were nice they were a little 'dated', wondering if they would be renovated anytime soon..... We then noticed 4 rooms with work crews gutting them for renovation, so do expect to see a new look on the other rooms the future
      Our room had one small issue, a drip of condensation from the A/C Unit, before we can even make a report, the maid noticed it and automatically contacted the A/C Repair Folks, they were in there during the daily cleaning and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. 
       
      Beaches: The beaches were cleaned daily of leaves and debris but no real trash was ever noticed. The beaches and water were very clean, plenty of towels stocked, plenty of seating and hammocks to relax in. Some of the rooms also had private hot tubs on the deck facing the beach, a few in which we visited, all of which were cleaned and treated daily, good condition and proper working order.
       
      Security: The beach is patrolled with several safety/security officers. None of which were a bother, they would greet you with a smile. I didn't see any of them up close to 'personal activity' but kept their distance. They were very professional and just let people do what they wanted for the most part. If there was some activity that kicked off, I noticed an officer excuse himself from that area and simply moved a little further away to provide privacy. The officers would routinely look in another direction and not take the scenes as a movie for them to watch. The staff was the same way, basically walk by and ignore the activity, no judging, no finger pointing, very very professional.
      We did have one interaction, while we met some new friends, one of them required an 'assisted' walk back to her room due to a little intoxication, as she was staying in the room next to us, we offered to walk her back, not due to a security concern but more of a trip and fall consideration. We were approached by security and was kindly asked what was "going on here" we explained and all was well, they did keep an eye to ensure there wasn't something else taking place but allowed us to go on our own and kept a good distance. 
       
      Guests:
      The best part of the trip were the people there. We have never met such a great group of people in our entire life. The people were non judging, open, very easy to talk to, happy to converse with anyone. The demographics of the group was better than expected. If you're worried about a certain age group or nationality, let it be known that it is a very diverse group of people. We've met people of all age groups, even a few in their 70's, all sizes, shapes, colors, classes, singles, couples. There is simply something or someone for everyone, no matter your level of participation in the lifestyle, you will not be disappointed. The people were very respectful.
       
      I highly recommend this resort to anyone, even if you're not currently practicing in the lifestyle, it is an experience that you will not forget.
      If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer.

      Hi, We are considering visiting Cherry Lane resort in Michigan. Can we hear some personal experiences? Any chance to have sex in public? (or semi-public area ???)
       
      Thank you!
    • By MapleCpl
      Has anyone heard about Cherry Lane nudist resort in Michigan?
      We heard there is a lot of swinging activity going on there.
       
      If you have been there, please share your experience or confirm if swinging takes place or not.
      We would like to visit this weekend, but want to make sure of what to expect.

      Interesting perspective here, a Huffington Post story of a monogamous lesbian goes by herself to a swingers resort. It's a good article, what she describes experiencing will sound very familiar.

      Hello Everyone. We live in Southern Indiana and we are hoping to find a good resort to camp at during our July vacation. Hoping for something within a days drive or within 400 miles of Louisville. We would be bringing (or renting) an small RV so we'd like a resort that has camping, pool, woods, etc. Ideally it would be swing friendly and not just a nudist resort. If anyone has had good (or bad) experiences please share!
       
      Thank you!
