Just Sharing...First Time visiting a Club

Recommended Posts

I think so much of a good introduction to the lifestyle is to watch. It is a taboo topic, very underground. Some mysteries are revealed at clubs. Glad you had a positive experience.

Congratulations. We did our first club this past week while traveling. It was newbie night. Definitely a nice quiet vibe. We played for the first time and loved it. We got the couple's number and hope to play with them again when in town.

Newbie night is a good idea. We went to one, very educational. Still learning new things five years in.

Just because you go there is never an expectation to actually DO anything (except have a good time). Glad you went and by posting maybe other first timers will consider going just to 'see' what it is like. Let us know what happens next.

Our first visit to a couples club, we had already done a few MFM on our own. Wasn’t our expectation but we ended up socializing downstairs for a while and then going up stairs to watch and then decided to play ourselves and found that to be quite exciting. 2nd trip a few weeks later, we did our first swap. I think that is common.

Players and Collette are both fun clubs. We've not been to the club you visited. Congrats on taking the first step!

 

I'm assuming you are referring to one of the Colette clubs in texas. We went to the one in new orleans and other than the heat not working on the second floor it was nice. I think we would have a membership if we lived there. And they don't charge you to bring in your alcohol. Apparently that is something they do in Texas though.

Yeah. I mentioned those two clubs since they're also DFW ones. We mostly go to OKC when we're going to a club.

I’m curious on the vibe in these clubs. Is it like most other clubs where there’s a DJ and what not?

 

So when we visited we got their right when they opened so we could get a tour and a lay of the land. The downstairs area was pretty much like a small club. Other than the nude pictures on the wall and the stripper pole (which can be fairly common in vanilla clubs) it looked like a normal place. The "bar" tender remembered our names all night which was a very nice touch.

 

We are going to check out Secrets Kissimmee tonight as we just got canceled on last minute by our SLS meetup.

I come to Orlando and Tampa several times each year for lifestyle events. I’ve never been to Secrets Kissimmee, so I’m interested in your impressions once you’ve visited. (I realize it’s a Wednesday night, which probably means a smallish crowd, but I’d like to know what you thought about it in terms of the facility and staff, And the other folks there, of course.

So we checked out Secrets. They seem to be doing some really nice remodeling to the rooms. It was a wednesday so it was really quiet. This is apparently their off season as well. Ended up with maybe about 10-15 couples. So here is what we learned and our observations:

1. Venue - For those that have never been the venue is an old Ramada in that is being overhauled into a lifestyle members club. There are rooms facing in on the pool and facing out towards the parking lot. They now sell the rooms to owners who get money when the room is rented and also pay a type of condo fee for general up keep. The rooms are marketed and you can see them through the giant picture windows of they aren't occupied and some are really high end looking. Cost per night varies based on if it overlooks the pool or the parking lot and if its a busy night on the weekend mid summer or if its a weekday in the middle of winter. I was impressed with the remodeled rooms. There were some rooms that were not remodeled and they go for less money. If you don't know which room you want my recommendation would be to ask the front desk to see the room before booking it.

2. Club - The club is nicely laid out with comfortable seating. I can see it getting overloaded during a big night like halloween or new years but the two hot tubs and heated pool are definitely capable of handling the overflow.

3. Play Area - The play area was nice with most of it focusing on sheer screened in beds for play areas. On busy nights Single Males are not allowed in the play area without an accompanied couple. Additionally the play area is no clothing allowed. You put all of your belongings in a locker and get a towel. The reason I was told is that it prevents people from bringing in cameras/camera phones in or having belongings walk away in the play room. I kind of like the idea of undressing my play partner so I don't know how I feel about that. We didn't play in the play area.

4. Food/Kitchen - Avoid this area at all costs. When I walked in I thought I ended up in some sort of employee lounge that has been neglected. The food didn't look good enough to try. They stated that they are looking at expanding the club to include a restaurant which would make sense why they haven't put anything into the kitchen. Frankly they should just ditch the kitchen immediately. It was really a mood killer.

 

We would definitely go back and check it out on a busier night or when its warmer. I enjoy naked pool time so thats up my alley. From what I've seen on previous reviews it does seem that they are improving from a facility standpoint. We didn't stay the night but we did play in one of the rooms. We can't speak to the clientele as the crowd wasn't big enough to make that call. If you are on site Manny, the Security Guy was a wealth of information and has been with them for 8 years. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them.

Hi, Is Secrets located in Dallas?

 

Secrets is in Orlando. We checked out a club in new orleans that has a sister club in Dallas I think. Its called Colettes.

Thank you for the review, we are only about 35 min away from secrets and the wife is getting up the nerve to attend a club (we have had fantastic luck with online sites and people near us). We will have to check it out some free weekend in the future.

      We just returned from our stay at Hedonism 2 in Jamaica and the worst part of it was having to leave. I wanted to thank everyone here and those that left reviews elsewhere for your recommendation. We were NOT disappointed. While many people are in different stages of the lifestyle with different interests, I wanted to provide my feedback to help them decide or provide some insight for those just getting started in the lifestyle.
       
      The facility was laid out very well, while they have a nude side and a prude side, either side is perfectly fine to choose and it is a very short walk should you choose to explore. The so called prude side, housing and beach, is the perfect place to spend the morning recovering from the night before or simply hang out in a quiet place for peaceful morning, relaxation and enjoy a more private intimate moment with your spouse or simply open a book to read. Clothing is optional, so do expect to see both nude, partially nude and fully clothed people. 
       
      The Nude side, is the perfect place for party time, anything goes to the wildest and most open forms in sexual interaction. The best way to describe the beach is 0 to 10. You can choose to be totally isolated at the very end of the beach where it starts on the border to the next resort and can walk down to the other end  which ends up being a non stop 24/7 party! You can basically walk along (a short easy walk) and choose to stay wherever you like. While being nude is required for this side, you can still expect to see some people with some sort of covering, sheer/lace, hat even a sarong. 
       
      Logistics:
      The Food is delicious, all kinds of food available for just about every taste, the staff is also familiar to help you with any food allergies and sensitivities. Don't hesitate to ask should you have some concerns regarding the ingredients, the staff is very friendly and happy to get any questions answered. On one occasion, (Asian Food Night) the chef came out personally went over which dishes contained gluten and pointed out what was safe. I stopped him half way through because there was more than enough to eat. Plates, Silverware, Napkins were all very clean, staff visited the table often to top off drinks and take away any plates.
       
      The Bars were fully stocked, the drinks were properly mixed and no sense of being watered down or weak like we saw at other resorts. If you want an extra strong drink, they were happy to oblige but the standard drink was as you would expect. 
      While they didn't have bottled water, you are given a reusable container with plenty of fill stations. The refill stations throughout the resort are triple filtered with UV to provide safe clean drinking water. The water was clean, odorless and tasted as you would expect from bottled water.
       
      The pools were clean and open to everyone, most of which are clothing optional with the exception of the one group of pools at the end of the nude side which was nude only. While there are several small pools through the resort, it was no trouble to find one that you can enjoy alone time with your mate. Same would go for hot tubs, plenty to choose from, private and open both nude and clothing optional.
      The nude side has a row of pools, semi warm one with a swim up bar, snack bar, wading pool (warm), waterfall that is a fence for a more private cave, large open hot pool, large cold pool and a smaller hot tub which is very warm. All of which are connected and easy to jump from pool to pool.
       
      Nude Side:
      - Do expect 99% to be Nude
      - Do expect to view open sexual activity, everywhere, on the beach, on the deck, around the pool, in the pool, on the floating dock, in the water, on the sand...... everywhere but inside the restaurants.
       
       
      Maintenance:
      While some did frown upon one pool or one room being closed as a given time, this is a good thing to be honest. The resort is basically a 24/7 establishment, there has to be a time where they perform maintenance and not every single room can be open 100% of the time. The resort is working hard to keep the property updated and clean, the closing of some rooms and pools should be expected. Nobody wants to go to a 'run down' resort. They are very conscious to maximize up time. For example, when we arrived the "Kamasutra Palace" was closed, we were a little upset at the moment but we saw that it was being repainted, new lighting fixtures being installed, floors being refinished and the whole building inside and outside being pressure washed. The next day, we went to find the other play room, just to find it closed but a sign hanging stating that the Kamasutra Palace was reopened and taking the place of the second play room. The same maintenance was going on there at the time. So there was always a play room open and while closing of any room sucks, it is nice to know they are keeping the buildings maintained and clean.
       
      We saw two pools closed during our stay which was no big deal as there were still many to choose from. I was surprised that they drained one pool, scrubbed, painted, made repairs and was refilled and back in operation within 48 hours. I've seen pools closed for weeks at hotels to make these types of repairs. I saw their crew out there in the dark working until it was reopened.
       
      Rooms: While the rooms were nice they were a little 'dated', wondering if they would be renovated anytime soon..... We then noticed 4 rooms with work crews gutting them for renovation, so do expect to see a new look on the other rooms the future
      Our room had one small issue, a drip of condensation from the A/C Unit, before we can even make a report, the maid noticed it and automatically contacted the A/C Repair Folks, they were in there during the daily cleaning and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. 
       
      Beaches: The beaches were cleaned daily of leaves and debris but no real trash was ever noticed. The beaches and water were very clean, plenty of towels stocked, plenty of seating and hammocks to relax in. Some of the rooms also had private hot tubs on the deck facing the beach, a few in which we visited, all of which were cleaned and treated daily, good condition and proper working order.
       
      Security: The beach is patrolled with several safety/security officers. None of which were a bother, they would greet you with a smile. I didn't see any of them up close to 'personal activity' but kept their distance. They were very professional and just let people do what they wanted for the most part. If there was some activity that kicked off, I noticed an officer excuse himself from that area and simply moved a little further away to provide privacy. The officers would routinely look in another direction and not take the scenes as a movie for them to watch. The staff was the same way, basically walk by and ignore the activity, no judging, no finger pointing, very very professional.
      We did have one interaction, while we met some new friends, one of them required an 'assisted' walk back to her room due to a little intoxication, as she was staying in the room next to us, we offered to walk her back, not due to a security concern but more of a trip and fall consideration. We were approached by security and was kindly asked what was "going on here" we explained and all was well, they did keep an eye to ensure there wasn't something else taking place but allowed us to go on our own and kept a good distance. 
       
      Guests:
      The best part of the trip were the people there. We have never met such a great group of people in our entire life. The people were non judging, open, very easy to talk to, happy to converse with anyone. The demographics of the group was better than expected. If you're worried about a certain age group or nationality, let it be known that it is a very diverse group of people. We've met people of all age groups, even a few in their 70's, all sizes, shapes, colors, classes, singles, couples. There is simply something or someone for everyone, no matter your level of participation in the lifestyle, you will not be disappointed. The people were very respectful.
       
      I highly recommend this resort to anyone, even if you're not currently practicing in the lifestyle, it is an experience that you will not forget.
      If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer.

      Hi, We are considering visiting Cherry Lane resort in Michigan. Can we hear some personal experiences? Any chance to have sex in public? (or semi-public area ???)
       
      Thank you!

      We're coming up on that time where we're going to start shopping around for a new place to live full-time out west. As some readers know from my prior posts, we're not a "lifestyle couple" but are considering the possibility, and things like topless sunbathing or visiting a club are certainly our speed. We're looking for somewhere clean and reasonably cosmopolitan with "big city" amenities and vanilla nightlife/entertainment, but also reasonably laid-back attitudes about sex: the kind of place where people mostly mind their own business, etc.
       
      We picture our off-time mostly consisting of going out for nice diners and cocktails, outdoors, road trips, and screwing our brains out. Our preference is to avoid deep freezes and gray skies. We have our own ideas, but since many on this forum live in the western U.S. and are more familiar with the cities to begin with, I thought I'd ask the question in the form of a poll.
