This is one of those packages that brings out the "be still my heart" mode in your reviewer: While the front cover features the adorable up-and-coming preppy Zack Randall, it's the back cover that made me little heart go pitter-patter-pa-doom! There in his extraordinarily masculine glory, in Speedos that promise all that he is later to deliver to Mr. Randall, is the exquisite Dean Phoenix, back again for another sexual romp, this time with a bunch of other guys at a resort that may want to try to get you to relax -- if it will only leave your dick alone.
We are introduced to the plot, so to speak, with brief looks at how four visitors have come to discover their vacation destination -- Fantasy Island in Hawaii. Euro muscle stud Antton Harri is lounging on his couch in Paris (he's supposed to be a world-famous chef) leafing through a travel brochure when he discovers the ad for the resort, which features an enticing shot of Alex Chandler, the manager of the place, in trunks that highlight his perfect abs, hairless swimmer's body and clean-shaved head. Moocho-macho Jason Ridge is surfing the Net when he spots the same ad, and calls out to his lover, Toby O'Connor, that "we're going to Hawaii." Seems they've hit a bit of a sexual rut in the five years they've been together and Jason wants to get it on again. At his desk in his room, nerd-looking up-and-coming L.A. lawyer Zack Randall interrupts his work on his laptop to cruise the Net and finds the same link. He's overworked and undersexed, and before you know it, they're off!
We are introduced to the island through the longings of the very pretty and extremely well-built blond boy-toy, Troy Mason, who climbs a hill on the property, strips, strokes himself and cums accordingly. We then cut to the chase: The men arrive, escorted by the staff consisting of five major hunks: Adam Champ, Carlo Masi, Luke Garrett, Gage Weston and Eric Valentin, none of whom, sadly, gets a chance to participate in the action. But they are here as helpers to the visitors, whose reasons for coming (and their expanded bios as explained above), are detailed by Alex in a side conversation with Troy, who is his assistant and lover.
The dialogue throughout this movie is somewhat knowing, a little tongue-in-cheek, and delivered in a languid, sultry way by all the actors in a manner that leads into the sex seamlessly. I particularly loved the way the models disembarked from the Jeeps carrying them to the resort while Alex introduces them to us. Antton's entrance alone caused me to have to get another towel, his tight, hard muscled body squeezed into form-fitting aloha shirt and bulge enhancing chinos. Oh, please! Bring on the sex!
Well, I didn't have to wait for long. Being a chef, Antton is invited by Alex to visit the kitchen, which is presided over by the hot, hung and now deeply muscled and tattooed Kane O'Farrell whose face is a map of his native Ireland and whose dick is a reasonable facsimile of a sequoia. After some suggestive chitchat, Kane tells Antton to wait for him outside while one of the staff brings out some food for him to sample. Chef Kane then arrives and plays a game of "guess-the-food," blindfolding his quarry and feeding him fruit, a finger covered with honey, then a mouth-to-mouth with an olive and a pec and armpits covered with cream. This leads to a torrid kissing session after which Kane strips his apron off, revealing that monster dick, and dips if full bore into a huge parfait, offering it to a dick-hungry Antton, who gulps it down and begs for more. He gets more, whips off his blindfold to gaze at his feeder, and then offers his own pretty prize to Kane, who does a splendid job of satisfying the customer -- those who like to see a dominant top and power bottom trade blowjobs will love this scene. But Kane is nothing if not a great fucker, and he knows how to treat a fabulous ass with the respect it deserves -- here he loosens and lubes it up with whipped cream, spittle and his fingers before plunging his basting stick into that tight hole. He pounds Antton doggy, side-saddle and missionary and they end up fucking through the sunshine into the sunset, with the Hawaii night closing in on them as they spill their own sweet cream.
Zack is reading some legal briefs on the cloudy resort hilltop complete with his Arnold Stang eyeglasses when Alex comes by and encourages him to go down to the sandy beach, where it's sunny. Zack reluctantly agrees and sets himself into a lounge chair with that legal brief. He looks up and sees a snorkeler coming ashore -- it's Dean Phoenix who makes his entrance in a manner that would shame Bo Derek. Stepping over the rocks and moving toward Zack, he starts a conversation with the intrigued nerd, identifying himself as a doctor from L.A., a podiatrist, in fact. "Great feet you have there, strong arches," he notes, and then the seduction begins. Nibbling, kissing, eating each toe as if it were a cock (especially the large one), Dean works his mouth up to Zack's -- the juxtaposition of ex-Marine jock hunk and nerdy lawyer kissing could not be more stark, or natural for that matter, and when Zack finally takes off his glasses we are treated to two very good-looking men playing out their fantasy and instant attraction to each other.
Zack gets into Dean's trunks (and him out of them) quickly, worshipping that fat, long, downward arching cock as if it were a jury's verdict in his favor, licking, kissing, turning his adoring face up to meet the smile of his new lover. A major Internet site star over the past few years, Zack has come along as a significant mainstream find. His close-ups with Dean, he older and the younger faces melding sweetly, are priceless, though one regret is that Dean never sucks dick here. But he does fuck, guiding Zack down on his rod in a face-to-face sit-fuck which then dissolves into a kneeling doggy and full-fledged missionary which ends the tryst, cum flying out of both stiff cocks all over themselves and the sandy beach.
Jason Ridge has come to the resort as a set-up for his lover, Toby -- he plots with Alex to have Toby 'kidnapped' and fucked ("he's a power bottom," he says) in a role play with staff members, hoping to dip his dick into a staff member of his own. Alex seems to go along, arranging to come to their cabin and taking things from there. However, it turns out that it's Jason who is the one who's going to be the victim (it really takes a bit too long to get to the point in the only sagging part of the flick) -- it turns out Toby has plotted with Alex to try to motivate Jason to get more involved in Toby's sexual proclivities. Jason is taken to the top of the hill, strapped to a bar, stripped and then accosted by Toby and Patrick, who arrive in leather outfits in a Jeep. Toby becomes the meat in a rotating sandwich -- Jason strapped all the while, having his cock serviced and then pumping his lover's ass, Alex taking advantage of Toby's every opening. Highlight is the climax when Jason throws us a no-hands cum-shot, after which Alex and Toby get off. Alex drives off, leaving the lovers to kiss, Jason still strapped to the bar.
Time has come for Alex and Troy to bid their guests adieu, with Antton leaving first, promising to be back. Zack then comes along, relaxed, no tie, and tells Alex how appreciative he is that the staff member, Dean, had made him so comfortable. But Alex says there is no staff member named Dean, just a guest from L.A. who happens to be a doctor and came to the resort and is also leaving. Dean shows up and Alex announces that he has arranged for them to be on the same flight to L.A. I could hardly stand the schmaltz, but you know, they are so cute together (though Zack is taller, and the older-younger thing really works). Jason and Toby are nowhere to be seen, but Alex informs Troy that they are being well taken care of -- and the camera finds them on a fence, both tied up and being worshipped by two of the staff members.
The only thing left is for Alex and Troy to have their say about each other, and this older-younger pair makes for a beautiful couple, kissing and stripping each other by the pool with the stunning landscape behind them. Troy worships his lover's beautiful cock then bends over as Alex samples his sweet blond ass, burying his mouth and face between the cheeks before sending his canoe paddle into the crevice. This is a sweet, languid, all-positions poolside fuck, and manages to achieve a sensual credibility that makes you believe Alex's line that he used just before they went off to fuck: "You know, you're my favorite!" The cum-shots are simultaneous, and happiness reigns on the island again.
