Hello,
our last trip to Hedo III has been three years ago. We have vacation at two and for us there is no place like III. Some of the reveiws have been shocking. Has the place just fell apart or is this just some bad information. We hope to hear from some open minded and honest opinions.
Good question Hyster. We have not been since August 2009, and saw nothing HUGE there that was a problem.
I guess it comes down to human nature- you are more apt to complain loudly if something goes wrong than to compliment loudly from being satisfied. I think everyone has a little complaint at some point or another- and opinions, as they say are like.... everyone has one. Fact is, people keep coming back, and there are many great trip reports talking about how great their trip was, and a few who had a bad time. I think the thing you will find in the trip reports that is most mentioned is that hedo is about the people. We never tell newbies to expect a 5 star resort, or to expect gourmet food. We do tell them to go with an open mind, make friends, and party their asses off. Follow those 3 things and you cannot go wrong at hedo- either hedo- whenever you go.
We have put up a trip report each year. Here is the link to last year's:

feel free to give it a read- I think we do a pretty honest report.
Cheers!

Hyster,
I can give you as fresh and update as there is as we just arrived home 1 hour ago. We left H3 this morning at 10:30, and even though weather isnt bad here when we arrived nothing like JA weather. We are first timers and no longer virgins!
1st- Staff was amazing
2nd- Rooms and facilities are weathered to say the least.
3rd- Food is average at best-Japenese the best - nude grill 2nd best
4th- cleanliness was decent
5th- entertainment was exciting but same almost everyday
6th- theme nights were a blast if you prepare for them
7th- security was very good
8th- this is really what most vacation companies are rating it as a 3 1/2 *
9th- the nakedness was awesome
10th- the atomosphere was awesome
In summary, if you are looking for top of the line rooms - forget it they dont exist there but really how much time do you really spend in your room, I can cover that including sleeping maybe 7 hours a day. Weather permitting
The parties were great, we took part in all theme except fetish but we came prepared for them- what a blast
The staff were the most friendly I have ever met at any resort we have been to, this was our first JA trip and 7 or so to the DR and no better staff anywhere.
The drink was plenty and good service at all the bars.
The disco was a bit of a let down as this was by what we were told a quiet week.
The naked water sliding was well to say a highlight.
The naked pool was clean everyday, the hot tub drained everymorning and cleaned. The pool water was cold every day even after 4 days of 85+.
The grounds are kept clean but showing the age of the place.
My only concern is they list this on all website as built in 2000 but it really was just opened as H3 in 2000, the resort has to be 25 years old.
Our room was building 8 3rd floor and every thinng worked except our coffee maker( worked but took an hour for it to finish) we didnt ask for another but I am sure they would have if you wanted too.
The Mrs. and I have never been to a nude resort and never to JA and we loved it and yes we will go back.
The open sex in the nude area in the middle of the day was a bit much and ironically was always started by the veterens, we just decided to exit the scene. I was only disappointed that security didnt stop it as we shouldnt have to cut our day short cuz of a few. I know at night it is more acceptable but not a 2pm on a lounge chair right beside the pool. Just not our thing and many of the people we were hanging with didnt really dig it.
The single guys, were not as bad as we have read about, there were a couple of really great respectfull ones and a couple of really bad ones.
In summary we loved JA, we loved Hedo experience, we loved this holday. Will we go back yes, (dollars matter as well) this is not a 2500.00 trip per head, even for the nude options. When we all work so hard for our $ you can still find great nude, or semi nude place in alot better shape.
Personally we do like higher end resorts for food, rooms, and fun. We however can never be called hedo virgins ever again.
P.s A big sound out to Diana Wilson from the staff for making the Mrs and mine "Wedding vow renewal" the most amazing hour, she was awesome and it was worth it for the $. Thanks my lovely lady was surprised as I didnt tell her till we got there.
My thanks to the following for your effort, I will forget some but here are the ones that stick out.
Main bar - Tavida, Marlon(oh jesus), Kevin
Nude bar- Sharee - John on the grill ya mon
Entertainment crew- All were the happiest crew I have ever seen
Bell hop - Xavier
In final we met some great people, whom we had never met before this week, I would also like to thank them
Dave n Beth - Michigan
Dan -Amy - Wisconsin
Aaron- Jenny - Missouri
Larry - Diane - Florida
Just shows you what hedo is all about take those people throw in a couple like us from Canada and when you are all naked there is no having to worry cuz most just open up without the road blocks.
I am sure we made some friends for life!
PM me if you have any direct questions and I will do my best to help anyone
