Naughty Nights in Negril - Report
Day One: The Arrival
I arrived mid-day to check into the resort. It was lush and full of humidity—in both the air and the people. I wondered how I would be received as a single female guest. I knew most women checking into places like this were with someone else. But I was totally alone here, and quite out of my element I thought. I was not a showy person by nature, not the type to flaunt the goods at all. So why in the world did I take this job anyway? Two simple answers rang true in my head at once,
1) It was a way to do the traveling I wanted to at the end of grad school
2) The pay was excellent
That's what I keep reminding myself as I was guided to my room and got myself all settled in. I knew I'd have to get with the style at the resort soon and loose my clothes. That first public walk in my birthday suit was going to be a scary event! But the staff seemed friendly and I hoped the guests would be too; after all we all had nothing to hide out there, right? Or at least no where to hide it... No time like the present to get familiar with the grounds, to snoop around before anyone got the idea that I was there keeping tabs on them for the company.
As I strolled along the lush green paths of the boardwalk that lead down to the beach and pools I found myself wondering what the guests did here all day—I didn't see many people milling about at Two o'clock in the afternoon, a few naked sunbathers on the beach and by the pool. I soon learned that most of them were just waking and were dinning at the late lunch buffet in the Runaway Bay Café—named after one of Jamaica's famous beaches.
I would soon find out that this resort was known for its nightlife. And it never closed its doors until the dawn. The tiki bars up and down the beach that now stood empty would be a different site this evening. Now quiet and desolate structures bracing themselves in the sand against the winds and sea spray—waiting for the naughtiness of night to come to them and fill them yet again with endless chatter and music and glasses full of every tropical drink you could imagine...awaiting the 1
st
uninhibited exhibitionist of the night who would come and dance and jive and slide and slither upon their sleek wooden tops.
And that is just what happened. Within hours I watched the desolation turn to crowded pools of dripping sweating bodies, as they jammed to the reggae band in the sand and laughed and talked and drank and had a wonderful booze filled vacation full of lost inhibitions and hang-ups. Where they just relaxed and enjoyed being able to stare boldly at one another's most private parts.
It seemed to me as a woman, to be a wonderful thing for us, having to always play the shy, prim and proper lady in our daily lives rather than the fierce tigress we really are to get out and go wild in the swaying palms and blowing sands of Negril's hottest night spot. We could look and show a note of approval or disappointment—here anything went—right along with the clothes. Do, act, say what you pleased here—it was all good— just like the atmosphere, drinks and entertainment.
Day Two: The Real Fun Begins
Or should I say night two really...I had slept until one in the afternoon—not having made it back into my suite until five thirty in the morning. Just as the sunrise peaked up over the palms and shed its first rays of light on the white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters that lay far below it.
I decided to make my way to the ever popular buffet today at the Runaway Bay Café and see if the food there could live up to the sweetness of the boo's and appetizers at the tiki bars the night before. The atmosphere was lovely and the food was divine. After eating I strolled out to the tide pools and rocks to see what the few snorkelers gathered there were up to—however they weren't doing much snorkeling since the majority of them weren't even in the water at the moment.
