Sorry, this board is not the place to discuss swinging.

i am looking at Lido again or San Souci.Can you play openly at San Souci?

I have been to Grand Lido Negril a few times and plan to go back soon!

I completely agree with the responses here.

For me, I love that nudity is officially required in all pool areas, including those attached to swim-out rooms. Guests are permitted to walk nude between their rooms and the pool, and nudity is common in and around the pool area. The "Au Natural" side of the resort is the only area where nudity is allowed, including the pool, boardwalk, and sometimes the lobby.

They do not have their own dedicated restaurant where guests can dine in the nude. Meals are typically served outdoors at the pool area, allowing guests to eat lunch and snacks on their beach loungers without clothing. For breakfast, there is an outdoor area with limited food choices where clothing is required, some walk to the buffet at the sister Royalton resort, where clothing is mandatory. All formal restaurants are located at the neighboring Royalton resorts, and guests must dress appropriately when dining there.

Service varied, with some slow lunch service. And yes, the drink quality was inconsistent depending on the bartender. Reserving poolside chairs with towels is a must for the preferred spots.

I enjoyed my stays and I am going again but there are some of caveats that I mentioned.

Thank you for all your reports & pictures!

Our last day was Wednesday, and we truly had a great month of weather! Only bummer was the non-opening of the parking lot, looks to be a couple more weeks before it opens i.e. Mid-December possibly. At least the bathhouse is in place and it will be nice for the winter crowd and for us next year, we hope!

I can second all of the above as I have fond memoies of each of these countries.

I add Turks and Roatan, Hondurus.

Caveat: i haven't made it yet to t&c, mostly because years ago when maid service, etc was common, the resort host tacked on $250usd for departure cleaning (way before airbnb normalized this). And, as I always had weekly cleaning incl in my rentals 7yrs ago, this rubbed me the wrong way. No cleaning and a $250 fee...nah, im not doing linens laundry AND paying $350 cad.

Be sure to ask the right questions if you are booking privately.

Hello/bonjour,

I am off to Martinique for my second attempt this year. My Jan visit was wrought with issues outside of anyone's control...and so I think Martinique deserves a second chance.

Day trips booked/planned over 2 Christmas weeks incl

• 
  Catamaran to st pierre
  Hike around st pierre and some of the volcano
  Le carbet to visit petit bonhomme beach bar
  Fdf incl grand marche, library, and ?
  La savanne des esclaves
  South day tour to Les Salines with many stops along the way

I doubt josephines bath is in my cards. I do hope to stop at at least one distillery but not my focus.

What am i missing re christmas events or other must dos?

As with most trips I will not rent a vehicle.

I look forward to your recommendations.

Au plaisir,

Cc

Bathhouse being assembled! Last strong rumor is parking lot open mid-December. AND, most importantly, 6 of the 8 arrests at Muddy Creek for simple nudity a few weeks ago have been thrown out of court! The other 2 apparently took their penalty and fled home.

If I remember correctly, they provide beach towels. It's been two years since we stayed there though.

Going to be at Adam and Eve Dec 4-9. Are there towels provided that you could take with you to Orient beach or should be plan to bring our own/buy some that we plan to take off property?
