Tucked away on Jamaica's sultry North Coast in Runaway Bay, Hedonism III enters the millennium with everything that made Hedonism II the world's most notorious resort - and more! You'll find swim-up rooms. A Roman tub in every room. And a see-through slide that snakes through our disco. At Hedonism III, you'll find that famous uninhibited spirit where just about anything goes. For couples and singles 18 yrs. and over. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Jamaica/hedonismIII/hotel/454/17/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:17:20 EST This adults-only resort offers nude and clothed sections, and is set on 6 hectares (15 acres) of garden on the North Coast's Runaway Bay; it is 29 km (18 miles) west of the town of Ocho Rios. HEDONISM III The apple doesn't fall far from the tree - good news for hedonists around the world. As the newest Hedonism resort, Hedonism III takes the pleasure principle to new extremes. Quaint, Victorian architecture and soft pastels conceal a sinister soul, like a black teddy under a housecoat A few days here are more than enough to make up for a lifetime of ordinary vacations. Of course, when things like a water slide through the disco and a pool table actually in the pool start to seem "normal", well it may just be time to go home. A sparkling swimming pool framed by "swim-up" rooms is the center of the action, but there's excitement all around. On one side, there's the main beach, with soft sand, high-flying trapeze and comprehensive watersports complex. And on the other, a secluded cove with it's own pool, bar and spa for those who choose to go au naturel. Naturally, everything's included...so do whatever you want, whenever you want. We suggest you try everything once, and the really bad things as frequently as you can. But there's more to Hedonism III than a wet and wild, non-stop party. Like award winning cuisine at a variety of unique restaurants. Free flowing liquor at bars that never close. An endless array of land and watersports. Live entertainment. And plenty of shaded hammocks where you can recover from too much of the above. This wicked sister of legendary Hedonism II is a spectacular launching pad for a new millenium of decadence, and it's alive and thriving on Jamaica's sultry North Coast. Hedonism III.
