    Jan 26-Feb 2nd, 2013 Trip Report

    We liked Capn Morgans approach so we copied it! Thanks and remember copying is the sincerest form of flattery! :>) Additionally don’t sue us but we plagiarized appropriately on the same topics!! Oh well you know you want a report over originality! Thanks again CapnMorgan!

    Also thanks to all the contributors to the boards here that helped us prepare for our virgin trip and made it an enjoyable week as we were well outfitted!

    A brief who are we, skip it if its of no interest but it explains some of our later opinions. We were Hedo virgins but not virgins to a Hedo environment. We wanted to experience Hedo and Jamacia for our first time. We are lifestylers and attend events throughout the year and across the USA. We prefer to socialize within the lifestyle for the very reasons stated by so many that love Hedo. The friendliness, openness, acceptance, the be who you are, the sexual overtones and the nudity are things we love and frankly seek out where ever we are. Naked pool parties are an every weekend event at our home club with 200 couples attending holiday weekend events and 50-150 attending throughout the summer. So we came into an environment we know, like and we were in no way virgins to anything but the location and facility.
    We chose this week for two reasons. We don’t like real hot weather and couldn’t imagine going when its hotter. Also its one of the lifestyle weeks and we wanted to make sure we didn’t experience what many have when there is a more prudish population. Certainly not against anyone’s likes, we just know ours and seek them out.


    Getting There

    We flew with US Air out of Charlotte and except for a 30 min delay for deicing all went well.

    When we arrived at immigration there were no line-ups and we breezed through, arrived at the baggage carousel and our bags were there waiting for us, through customs and then on to the reception area where we presented our travel vouchers and only had to wait about 15 min for the bus and had time to grab a rum and coke. After sitting on the bus for about 15 min we had time to grab a red stripe and then we were off. a completely full bus .

    This was a white-knuckle, bone-shaking ride for our lady but I was good with it. :>) the driver did not spare the horses. Around Lucea the driver asked if we wanted to stop for beer and relief...unanimously “hell no, get us to Hedo!” We arrived in Hedo in 1 hour and 15 minutes, the fastest time ever for us! Umm disclaimer we are Hedo virgins so it was also the slowest! :>)

    Arrival at Hedo

    Once we got of the bus, we hit the desk as we had booked through the resort. We were assigned our requested room without an issue and only a 15 min wait, spent nursing our first drink and beginning to check the place out. Garden view nude 2144 was where we resided for the week

    Once in our room, we unpacked and headed for a brief walk-about to get the layout and then over to the nude side where our brief attire hit the deck except for the ladies bottoms. She prefers to warm up to full nudity and was full nude within the hour.

    Food

    The breakfasts are always good and we really like the omlettes, bacon and fruits although there is a lot more to choose from. Also grits were OK but with some butter and cheeses additions (as they were meant to be eaten!) not bad.
    We are not really high-end eaters so the buffet was fine and we found something to like the first few days. We agree with CapnMorgan’s and feel there is sameness to it, so read in it got old as time went by. Lobster Night was good but hardly top shelf. Best night at the carving station was roast beef, worst was lamb and the duck was sub par.

    We LOVED the beach BBQ by Delroy’s, their jerk chicken is crazy delicious! Nigel love him! We also had fish and burgers available everyday and one day they were frying salami too. Jamaican meat pies were also available that were tasty. All in all lunches at the grill were just wonderful!

    We didn’t eat at the restaurants, as we aren’t into having to decide a dining time in the morning and structure our day around that.

    Theme Nights

    Before we went to Hedo we spent a lot of times on various boards and felt this was the ONLY area that we didn’t get good guidance on. Dressing theme is a minority and sometimes barely a handful. Thank god we came prepared for either. Just wish we had known so we wouldn’t have spent the dough on costumes. Based on our experience unless you love to dress up in costume, don’t stress it and wear what you like, you will be with the majority by far!. Ladies club wear was predominant with the guys in a nice summer shirt, khakis and sandals.

    Entertainment

    The nightly entertainment was good but has sameness to it. Talent night had a few contributors that were really good so one of our favorite nights. Up to 3 females in the show group by mid week. Winston love him!


    The Rules

    Cameras on the nude side were a problem. My lady and I were in the surf , at the rocks, watching the fishes and there was a guy with a pink raft. Didn’t think much about it until I saw the camera in his hand pointed at my lady. I grabbed it and put it in the water hoping to ruin it but it was waterproof. The guy was with the predominate lifestyle group there and was quite belligerent and he did this every year. I didn’t want to get kicked out so we left the water , went to security and told them. Exactly nothing was done. After advising some friends about it 5 of us went in the water and he was scared off to his beach chair beside his wife. We pointed him out to security who walked over and did nothing else. I walked up front and asked to speak to the manager. Told her what had happened and she assured me security should have acted. Long story short the camera was confiscated, card yielded no pics(wow wonder how that happened) and the guy told if he brought it down again he would be banned.
    The next day when they were having the lap dance contest around an extremely crowded pool one of our friends saw a guy filming. Being the guy he is, he walked up grabbed the camera and thru it on the roof. The EC’s gave a big speech about how cameras weren’t allowed and Fifty got the camera off the roof. Many pics were found and deleted. Camera was confiscated for the rest of the week only.
    All we can say is MORE should have been done by the resort and we should not have had to police the situation ourselves. In our opinion a total ban of all electronics should be enforced as all phones, tablets etc can take pics. Additionally guilty parties should be ejected or relocated to another resort immediately!
    We have NEVER had this happen anywhere else and were very disappointed and surprised to see it at Hedo. Guys keep your eyes open and protect your ladies from being captured in pics or film.

    Off the Resort

    We got a driver for a reasonable price who took us to various shops and destinations in Negril. We made 5 purchases and headed to a late lunch at Rick’s. We wanted to beat the crowd and did. We had our first COLD red stripe since we hit Jamaica and they were heavenly over the slightly cool ones at Hedo. Food was bar OK, divers were fun!
    Our driver took us to another bar down the street, which is the opposite of Rick’s as it has caves under it leading to the Ocean. That was cool to go down in them and we enjoyed it as much as Rick’s.

    Night time

    Piano Bar absolutely ROCKED on Sat and Sun nights when first Hedo Kamasutra and then Tom’s Trips hosted nights. Absolutely packed both nights and everyone had crazy fun. Fantastic time had by all!
    Hedo Kamasutra had a prude beach party Mon night that was packed and a blast also

    Friends

    We met a LOT of fun people and we thank them for a great week! Canadians and USA were predominate with Europeans and a few other nationalities sprinkled in.

    Groups
    Hedo Kamasutra proved to be the predominate group and had the vast majority of rooms. We are thinking around 75%. They brought in Nina Hartley of porn star fame for workshops and frankly ran a great week for their members. We were glad to not be excluded and made many friends within the group. If you love a great group and party give them a look. We believe they’ll probably do a takeover soon as they have a great product. We are not affiliated but this report wouldn't be complete without this. They dominated the resort and most times that was a good thing.

    Final thoughts
    The week was a crazy party week and even these two party hounds had to slow down as the week went by. We felt we were at one continuous party and as the week went on, it was too much. Obviouly that is our own control issue LOL! We hung on the prude side, in the nude by the way, to get away from it.

    Our opinion - We aren’t heat lovers and so by the end of the week the inability to get cool anywhere away from the water or your room got old for us. Jamaican air conditioning isn’t our idea of air conditioning though we did get our room cool.

    Good - We had hot water and electricity all week no issues.

    Bad - There was a bug going around or food poisoning occurred as many people experienced vomiting and diarrhea and the nurses station stayed busy. We feel it could probably happen anywhere but it happened so it can’t be a plus. We lost 2 days between us to the issue as did a LOT of couples.

    Our final opinion - we won’t be returning to Hedo. We like Jamaica but like lower cost, easy to get to USA beaches just as well. We know we can have the same types of experiences and be around the Hedo type of person in other places. Since we have options, we aren’t pulled back as hard. If we didn’t we are sure we would be!
    At the same time we are very glad we went, we are glad we had the experience at Hedo and seeing at least a part of Jamaica from the bus rides and our day trip. We understand why many choose to go over and over.
    So enjoy on Hedo lovers!

    Thanks for the woderfullly honest and candid report! No worries about the format, I didn't invent it and it is not copyrighted...besides, Canadians don't sue...at least not very often!

    Sorry you had some negative experiences. Can't say we have experienced any illness at Hedo, except for a hangover, which usually dissipates by noon and then it's time to build another one. Losing party time cannot be fun.

    I think you reinforced my section on the lack of application of the rules. What's with the cameras on the nude side? That has to be one of the biggest invasions of privacy and Hedo management needs to really jump on this.

    Thanks again
