Thread: AU Naturel- hot Tub

I understand the AN beach can not be used my single men. BUT... if its late night and the wife went off to sleep can single guy enjoy the hot tub underthe stars on the AN side of CN???

From randymon' s post regarding a few rules:
"Greetings to all:

It has been recently reported that there was some inappropriate Public Displays of Affection in the pool or jacuzzi at Couples Sans Souci's Sunset Beach.

I am compelled to reiterate that none of our resorts will tolerate overt sexual activity in public by any guests.

If you are one of the offending couples reading this post. Please do not come back to Couples Resorts. You are not welcome.

If you are yet to arrive and intend to "do your thing" in public, please be advised that -if caught - you may be asked to pack your bags immediately and be escorted off property without compensation.

Further, our au naturel facilities are for couples only. No solo visitors please - regardless... (emphasis added)

I hope this is stated clearly enough. :-("

I don't think Randymon's post differentiated between day and night. Just my opinion.

No, I really hope not. Night and day AN is couples only. If I was there late at night as a couple a single of either sex would be uncomfortable.

There are plenty of times where it is completely empty during late night. I went out there by myself a few times, and if there were no other people there then I used it. Security doesn't seem to care.

So do you leave when a couple shows up? I know I'd view a couple in the hot tub a lot differently than a single: Especially at night, regardless of au naturel or not.

First off, if it is after midnight, there is much less chance for others to show up. I wouldn't really feel the need to leave a non-nude hot tub if others joined. At the nude one, it depends. Sometimes the other couples and I are both in a socializing mood. Other times either of us might rather be left alone. I would leave if that was the case.

It`s wrong and you are breaking the rules.

I don't think the rules are necessarily applicable to the facilities themselves but rather to preserve the comfort of the AN guests. If no other guests are present to make uncomfortable, then are any rules really being broken?

I`m sorry but if my wife and I showed up at the Hot Tub late at night and there was a single guy in there by himself we would probably turn around and leave with out waiting for you to ask us if it was alright. You would have put a damper on our fun by breaking the rules. I`m just sayin.

In reading your comments I have to wonder-----Why wouldn't you just take your after midnight dip to the other hot tub near the dive pool and wear whatever you want. Your issue would be exactly the same regarding a couple showing up.
Just wondering!

What will happen if this keeps being an issue is that Couples will be forced to police it or do away with it. Why do people keep insisting that if that don't get caught or challenged, it is ok. You came with your significant other, spend your naked time with them.

mark527, I can understand your apprehensions. Would your fun level be limited because it is a single male in there, or would it also be likewise affected if it were a single female or even another couple? My girlfriend and I are regulars at the AN beach during the day, but she has a condition that prevents her from staying up late. Tell you what...if I find out that I am at the resort as the same time as you, I will make sure that, if I see you in the AN hot tub late at night before me, I will turn around and leave, or if I am in there before you and you show up, I will quickly grab my stuff and run away so as not to disturb your comfortableness from seeing someone else temporarily enjoying the peacefulness of the nude hot tub at that time. No questions asked.

barbjer, there are a few reasons...as noted above about my GF, sometimes there are other of our AN friends that will be there and are not uncomfortable with me being solo at that time. Also, the view of the beach and stars is much better there. And finally, I don't have to deal with a wet swimsuit afterwards. One other thing, I have also been to that other hot tub, and I frequently find it a little too hot for my liking.

I think many of you are missing the point. The rules are there so everyone is treated the same. If you start "slipping" or interpreting when the rules apply, who gets to decide where that line is drawn? You or me? I'm pretty sure we won't draw it in the same place, so the rules that apply to everyone draw the line for us.

I had something else to say but it`s not worth it. We actually don`t care what you do. We will never let what you do ruin our good time.

Seriously, what's the issue? How many people do you think are at the AN beach at 1:00 a.m.? 90% of the time it is just me and the security guard. Should a regular on the AN beach be escorted off because the spouse left for 15 minutes? Should a clothed person on the AN beach all by himself at 6:00 a.m. be escorted off? C'mon people, let's not make mountains out of molehills. If you are out there, and someone breaking the rules is making you uncomfortable, then let security know. Otherwise, live and let live. It's a vacation, not a boot camp.

Well it's not hard to see we have a point of view difference on this one. It's like the au naturel verses clothing optional subject. Those who want to wear clothes or just bottoms cannot understand why it has to be all or nothing. Those who like au naturel know exactly why it does.

I (and apparently some others) can't understand why you can't see that a single male (or female) being au naturel doesn't fit the "atmosphere" we enjoy from Couples' offering of au naturel facilities.

You have offered (In one case) to scurry away to keep one person happy, but would actually have others scurrying away if they discovered you there alone. (I'd suggest very few couples would use the hot tub with you in it alone.)

Just like the CO vs au naturel debate, I understand that you don't "get it" so I really don't think there's anything more to be said.

Wow, I guess I really "don't get" the hostility for something so minor. But from my MANY visits to Couples, I really "do get" the easy-going, friendly, and understanding nature of just about everyone I meet on the AN beach. And my GF and I and all the other people on the AN beach do "get it" as we are comfortable with our own nudity as well as comfortable with others' nudity. So I really don't ever remember those easy-going people who "get it" being so distraught at the sight of a single naked person in the hot tub that would make them scurry off.

But I'm sure that none of you Gestapo types ever break any rules while at Couples, such as the wife going to the nude beach by herself while you wait back in the room for something, or bringing a glass bottle of champagne to the hot tub after they tell you not to. Oh wait, I think I read that happening in some of your other posts. Tsk, tsk!

So let's please stop casting stones.

Okay my last post on the topic. I'm not being hostile nor do I bear you any ill will. It's not about breaking the rule, it's about making others feel uncomfortable. You can do this even within the rules in many ways. I'm just pointing out that what you consider a minor infraction of the rules will take away from other people's comfort level and enjoyment of the facilities whether it makes sense to you or not and even if you have no ill intentions.

Imagine sitting down for your meal and someone lighting a big stinky cigar right next to you. Even outside you're likely going to hate it, but the guy with the cigar doesn't realize he's ruining your meal. That's you alone in the hot tub.

One more little thing. The purple font is crazy hard to read. I have to highlight it to see it at all even on my big screen.

Have a great day.

Who is casting stones? You are the one comparing the Couples that would prefer to have the rules adhered to the Gestapo. You state times for this and times for that, then someone will come along and want to adjust the times to fit when they think everyone else should be accomodating to their particular version of rule bending. Maybe you have found some who do not care if you are on the AN portion by yourself. I know my wife wouild not care to be feeling as thou she is being perved by the lone males, nor would I. Maybe we are uptight, doesn't matter, we prefer to have the Couples experiance with other couples.

I am somewhat confused, if the AN beach at CSS opens to anyone at 5 or 6PM and is no longer AN required what issue than would there be whether a person or persons are in the hot tub or pool at midnight clothed, topless or unclothed alone or not alone. We have never been to CSS only CN and have been in the hot tub on the nude beach in the late evenings with people who were clothed, topless or nude and no one seemed to care, we even had a women who had some stomach issues going on and left a few times for say 15 minutes to use the restroom facilities and her husband remained behind. So my confusion falls with are the AN facilities AN for 24 hours or just sunlight hours.

I gather this conversation only applies to Couples Negril.

At CSS - the AN designation on Sunset Beach ends at 5:00PM when it becomes CO.
At CTI - the closing time for the Island is 5:00PM and the rest of the resort is textile.
CSA - no AN facilities so it doesn't apply.

Personally, I would not care about a single guy using a hot tub late at night...but that is just me.

Well, I'm the original author of this post and didnt realize this would get so heavy. Last year my wife "enjoyed" the drinks @ the AN beach one day and went to sleep early so I stayed on our balcony with a book & a good cigar . I wondered if I could be doing the same thing enjoying the hot tub, but I guess I got my answer. We are heading back the day after Xmas for our 6th visit and Im looking forward to that cigar on the balcony.. peace & love..

NHFUN...trust me, when you are out there, you will see for yourself. Just about everyone you meet out there are nonjudgmental easy-going people having fun, so don't get put off by a few message board "what if" naysayers who want to tell you how YOU need to enjoy YOUR vacation. Just like everything, as long as you are respectful, this issue is really not an issue and never has been. Couples would take care of it if it was. However, if you and I are at the hot tub at the same time, maybe we can pretend to be a couple rather than two single "pervs". Go have a great time!

By the way, some uptight people may also tell you that you shouldn't smoke cigars either, because cigars stink and they might get a whiff of it. But it is allowed outdoors and on your balcony. Just not next to someone eating a meal!

I think this maybe the safe way to go.

I have to put my two cents worth in here. First of all, after being open and serving guests for decades, Couples has put certain rules into place probably because of issues that have come up in years past. To think that only certain rules apply to you is wrong. It's not up to an individual to decide if a rule is unfair, if a rule can be broken, bent, or so on. You cannot judge if your behavior or presence is interfering with the enjoyment of others. It is very clearly stated that the AN facilities are for couples only at all times.
The rules are there to make sure every guest is treated as special as the next.
Alcohol consumption will interfere with ones judgement, and if you're a few drinks in, you may not realize that in fact, a single person on the AN side is bothering anyone. Nobody has perfect judgement, so therefore there are rules.
Also not many would actually confront another guest, and just walk away, giving up THEIR right to enjoy themselves.
If you have an issue with certain rules, take it up with management, don't take it upon yourself to determine if you should or not follow them. If a rule is unfair, I'm sure couples will deal with it appropriately.
