First of all towel.
At home we use one for 3 days. Like Jake I am clean when I get out of the showers.
Saving chairs at Hedo. We save one chair for both Denice and I at the poll during the day( we are not beach rats, just pool rats) and anyone else that would like to put their belongs on it may do so. I am either standing in the pool, at the pool bar(#1 spot) or sitting on the edge of the pool or in the hot tub. I don't think in the last 5 years I have not spent more than 15 minutes in one of the chairs. I have seen people place towels on chairs to save them, but never sit in them all day.
Again WTF no big deal I'll make to work one way or another. I'm on vavaction and I put up with enough shit when I am home without driving myself nuts over a chair or a fucking towel while on vacaction.

If you don't like their policies, food, rooms, etc. stay the fuck home or go some place else, so we don't have to listen to you bitch about it here. And likewise, if you don't care for the topic, you don't have to read it.

Hell, I only use one towel at HOME for weeks on end. It's not like it gets dirty. I only use it after a shower, when I'm perfectly clean. In theory, it should get CLEANER every time I use it!......Jake Sure, in theory, as long as your theory provides that you do not shed ANY of those water softened skin cells or hair on to/in the towel. Zilla (who tends to leave DNA in the form of skin cells and hair everywhere, but then again, I'm human)

Jesus FUCKING Christ!! NOW what?? This is *solely* to allow them to not have to worry about having enough towels around. I use two towels on my beach chair and often use one of those on the floor in the room to clean my feet, keep the floor dry, etc etc So now when someone steals my towel, I'm not going to have one to turn in and will have to find another towel to steal to get a clean one. I have *never* been to any resort that refused me all the fucking towels I wanted at any time of the day I wanted them! I simply call "room service" and they deliver what I want OR I DON'T GO BACK! These fuckers at Hedo seem to think it some kinda of privilege for me to visit their stinking resort and they can make me as uncomfortable as they want. BASTARDS!! So THERE!! ;D

Same question I asked over at Denny's. Are you talikng room towels or beach towels? If you read some of the reply's over there they make it seem like you need a card to get room towels? As I mentioned I have been to many resorts including some in Las Vegas that you check out a towel at the pool and you don't get another one until you check back in the first one. Joe

I agree with Bob. If the resort is getting low on towels BUY MORE FUCKING TOWELS!! Don't introduce stupid systems to aggravate and inconvenience the guests because you won't budget for replacing lost and stolen towels over time. When did the customer stop being king? Simon

;D The part that bothers me is having to pay for a towel that has been taken! Also if it rains then you have to lug a wet towel to god knows where to turn it in? And of course, there WOULD be staff present to receive it and give you a dry one...yeah right!

Good point, returning towels will be a bit of a drag too, who wants a job to do while on vacation?

Is it $20 a day for lost towels or for each towel, I might bring my own. Just wait until the toilet paper rationing starts, that will be something. Five perforated squares per guest, two for day passers. Program starts Jan. 1

I brought my own to WWWW this year just in case. We only used 1 or 2 of the resort towels then. Of course, we went to Firefly first and needed towels for there anyway. The policy wasn't in effect when we were there at Hedo in early December.
It pisses me off, we don't hoard towels. We take what we need and turn them in. It does help to use your old beach towel on the floor as some of the rooms have leaks in the shower and we use it to keep from falling on the floor. We were lucky and were not blessed with one of these rooms this year.
I'll just bring my own then, I'm NOT paying them $20 for a towel that's worth FAR less.

My only big problem with this new program is that I need two towels for my chair. I use my chair and just don't use a lounge to store my stuff. Those foam like floats get mighty hot to touch without a towel.
It's a shame that the towel abuse is so bad that we must be regulated.
I could be wrong but I think Hedo had a program like this before I started going and it was discontinued. I doubt this program will still be in effect next April when we return. I really don't think Hedo can pull it off in an organized way.

Joe, my life DOES revolve a lot around my physical comfort. Lots of towels means lots of comfort to me. I use them in quantity in the room more so than on the beach. (I seldom sit and rarely use the hottub. My 1 towel is most often stuffed in my bag.)
The one bath towel given out per person per day in November wasn't enough. So I even use the beach towels to dry myself off after showers (up to 3 a day).
They are my carpeting (I hate the cold slippery tile). They go below me when I lay naked on the top of the bed and don't want to muss my sheets. They sop up excess water that occurs in the room from any number of sources. They are my warmth when I'm cold.
They are part of the decadence (excess) that I've come to expect and enjoy at Hedonism II.
I'm insulted and troubled by your belittling of my pleasure.
For example: other people bitch about people saving chairs. That bitch means zero to me, but it means a lot to a lot of people. I never have had a problem with how or when people save chairs, but I'm not rude to those who care about it.
May I request that you reconsider the tone of your posts as a courtesy?
