The vibe is very relaxing. When my wife and I stayed at Couples Negril, we had a nice time, but we were bored out of our minds. The place was totally dead after 9pm. I think we talked to a total of 3 or 4 other couples the whole time we were there. On the up-side, we got lots of sleep.
Hedo is just fun. All the time. The accommodations and facilities are decent (I'd say 3.5 stars), but do show some age here and there. Food is decent to very good, depending on where you go and what you have. Drinks are top notch. What your room looks like really won't matter much, because you will probably only be there to sleep... or something along those lines. We met more people in the first few hours we were at Hedo than we did in 4 days at Couples. My wife was really nervous about the lifestyle aspect of Hedo, but there's just no pressure, and no judgement whatever you decide to do. Head over to the nude pool around 2pm and give yourself an honest hour - my guess is that you will be completely at home and be wondering what in the world you were worried about.
On our first trip to Jamaica, we split our stay between Couples Negril and Hedo - we did 3 nights at each. We're headed back to Hedo for our 3rd trip in October, and we're already planning a 4th trip for next April. We've never been back to Couples. Take that for what it's worth.
