Sexy Getaway Ideas in Mexico, Jamaica
This week, we've had two questions from readers looking to spice up their travels:
My fiancee and I want to take an erotic vacation June 09 but we are not interested in swinging but a more personal erotic experience. We were thinking Mexico but any ideas you can forward would be great.
My wife of 30 years and I are planning our first vacation without kids. The idea of clothing optional beaches and pools is something we've never done, but would like to try. PJ parties and fun entertainment is also an interest. Good food a must, casino a plus and to make it even harder we have somewhat of a budget. Where should we go. Any ideas? Thanks so much.
You'll find quite a few properties that fit the bill for a sexy vacation with clothing optional beaches and an adults-only atmosphere.
In the past few years, Mexico has become home to a growing number of such all-inclusive properties including
Temptation Resort Spa with locations in Cancun (formerly Blue Bay Resort) and Los Cabos. The resorts have a topless-optional policy at the pools and offer sexy activities such as "
Sensual Fitness" classes for women with workouts that include lap dancing, pole dancing, etc. Both have fine dining, on-site spas, and other upscale offerings.
A less-clothed option is
Desire Resorts with locations on the Riviera Maya and Los Cabos. These are both clothing-optional, all-inclusive adult resorts with evening activites such as PJ and lingerie night or a strip tease contest.
In Jamaica, Hedonism II (Negril) and Hedonism III (near Runaway Bay) are both popular all-inclusive options. Hedonism II has the highest repeat rate among Caribbean hotels with a nude (not clothing-optional) beach as well as a "prude" beach, nude pool, bar and grill, and sexy evening entertainment. Hedonism III has similar features and more elaborate guest rooms. Hedonism resorts include a game room with slots, electronic poker, etc. (At this time, there are no casinos in Jamaica but that might change soon.) For more on Hedonism resorts, see our
special Hedonism section.
As for budget, the time of year you visit will have a lot to do with the amount you pay. Summer and fall are the least expensive seasons (due to hurricane season which runs June 1 - November 30). You'll find the cheapest rooms during the height of hurricane season (August-September) and ask about hurricane guarantees. We know that SuperClubs offers a hurricane guarantee in case your vacation is interrupted by a storm.
Happy travels!

September Beach Weddings in Mexico
I am helping my daughter with some wedding plans and she is considering a barefoot beach ceremony in Mexico. Do you have any suggestions for that time of year or is it to hot and risky because of Hurricane season. Thanks for your help! -- Teresa, OregonHappy to help! Hurricane season on the Caribbean side of Mexico runs from June 1-Nov 30 although the months of August and September are the worst. The Pacific hurricane season is just about the same time period.
However, even in September there are many years when no storms hit Mexico; it’s all just a matter of luck. The good thing is that forecasting warns of the potential for a storm days in advance.
With that in mind, if your daughter does decide on a September beach ceremony, here are some things to consider:
* in the event of bad weather, what are the ceremony venue alternatives? If she’s looking at a beach ceremony at a resort, they’ll have a bad weather contingency plan, often a restaurant, meeting space, or other indoor venue.
* Does the resort have any kind of hurricane guarantee? Many Caribbean resorts offer a hurricane guarantee which means if your trip is interrupted by a hurricane, you’ll receive compensation. (The amount varies but some, like Sandals resorts in the Caribbean, offer you a new vacation for the length of your original planned vacation, regardless of the number of days you missed due to the storm. Check with resorts in Mexico for similar guarantees.)
It is hot in Mexico in September but the coast is generally nice because of the coastal breezes. If you go further inland, such as to Chitzen Itza, it can be very toasty.
Two other items to consider for a Mexico wedding: most Mexican states require blood tests to be performed in Mexico and wedding ceremonies must be performed in Spanish. Most wedding coordinators can serve as interpreters.

Planning a Cozumel Cruise Wedding
My boyfriend and I are Katrina victims from Louisiana getting away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and decided to book a cruise. We are leaving from Galveston on April 17th traveling to Yucatan and Cozumel. We are on a strict budget and have decided to get married while we are away from it all; it will be just the two of us. Can you lead us in the right direction as to HOW to get started... Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! Cozumel is a beautiful island and will be a memorable spot for a wedding.
Your best starting point is your cruise line; start soon because some limit the number of weddings they can assist with while in port. Most cruise lines have staff members who can help with all the wedding details; their packages are some of the most reasonable. Since you’ll be on island for a short time, you’ll need to have assistance getting all the details worked out to make the most of your time. Also, you’ll need witnesses which the wedding coordinator can help arrange and, if the two of you don’t speak Spanish, they can also help with translating the ceremony. (Weddings in Mexico must be performed in Spanish so usually the wedding planner acts as translator.)
Everything we’ve read indicates that you will need current passports but check with the cruise line (and if they don’t know, check with the Mexican consulate’s office closes to your home. Like the US, each state in Mexico has its own marriage regulations so they vary just a little from location to location. Generally you need a valid passport as well as blood tests; the blood test rules vary from location to location as well and can sometimes be performed in your home state within 15 days or so of your wedding date.)
Best wishes and keep us posted on your progress!
