The Hedonism II resort in Jamaica has completed a $5 million renovation project, the property announced Monday.

The project included the debut of seven new room categories, along with a “full” refurbishment of 34 rooms to include glass-enclosed walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs and decorative lighting.

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer our guests a wider selection of amenities and accommodations to choose from,” said Kevin Levee, general manager of Hedonism II, in a release. “But the new renovations haven’t changed our wild and carefree attitude. For those looking for an inhibition-free, indulgent vacation, Hedonism II is now even better prepared to turn their fantasies into realities. We are on track to regain our place as the #1 Adult Party Destination in the Caribbean.”

The 280-room adults-oriented property, which first opened in 1976, launched the renovation project in the summer of 2013.

The resort was purchased by Marshmallow Limited in early 2013.
