My husband Jim and have attended some C/O beaches on our past vacations in Jamaica and Cuba. He enjoys the freedom of being nude in the sun, water and breeze. Whereas I’m on the little more shy side. Every year it seems to get easier. We are both in our mid 50’s and our bodies don’t quite fit the clothes we had twenty years ago. I enjoy being nude in the outdoors, but always by ourselves. I think that I would be too uncomfortable about myself with other people staring at me. Jim asked about planning our next vacation to Caribe and finally making the commitment to a C/O resort. I was afraid that everyone would be looking at me; I would know someone from home or is it a swingers club. To make Jim happy, I decided to take the plunge and dive in head first. BOY, was I WRONG !!!!. After landing, the taxi ride was one of our longest rides, but it was comfortable. Check in was a breeze and within a few minutes we were in our room. There are enough reviews talking about the resort itself and no sense in repeating. It was GREAT. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the dinners and being to pick from a menu and not going up and down to the buffet table. Being served is what I enjoy. Well ladies, I needed the sarong when I first walked away from our room, but I just decided, ‘When in Rome’ and the next thing I knew, it was gone. Jim suddenly got this big smile. We quickly met some very nice couples at the bar and around the pool and within two hours I completely forgot about being nude. I especially loved going for a skinny dip in the pool in Jim’s arms and then relaxing in the hot tub. Looking at the ocean at night in the tub does not seem like our tub at home. I enjoyed walking in hand with my husband and it was like a honeymoon. It certainly re-kindled our marriage. I knew this was one of best romantic vacations and maybe something we need to do a long time ago. I found that most people dressed up at dinner, although as I previously mentioned the clothes were off for the skinny dip. I never felt pressured to remove my evening wear unless I wanted to. For you ladies, who are fighting the idea to attend an au natural beach or resort, DON’T. I fought this idea of a C/O resort for quite a few years. Did I ever make a mistake! I will certainly want to come back again, perhaps even trying to bring some friends. I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE.
