Naughty Nights in Negril - Report
Day One: The Arrival
I arrived mid-day to check into the resort. It was lush and full of humidityâin 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 dayâI 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 CafĂŠânamed 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 sprayâwaiting 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

uninhibited exhibitionist of the night who would come and dance and jive and slide and slither upon their sleek wooden tops.
