Hmmmm a published author flies all the way in from Australia for 5 days at Hedo... Now he is going to write a book exposing the "Untold Story of Hedo" ....

You say you couldn't get security to take action because of the language barrier? Jamaica is an English speaking country, member of the British Commonwealth as is Australia. I can understand a problem with accents and Jamaicans use Patois between themselves, but they also speak English as well any Canadian or Australian or any other Commonwealth country.
The taxi issue also makes this totally unbelivable for me, as well as other numerous statements. As someone else said, when parts of the story are unbelievable, the whole story becomes unbelivable. The conceit shown in the postings is a big red flag as well.
Is there someone else on the forums who was there and can collaborate any part of this story?
Sounds to me that they didn't have the vacation they expected, maybe didn't meet or hook up with anybody so now they have an axe to grind, further proof to all of us that Hedo isn't the place for everyone. Mr Ozzy you had best be careful of accusations you make in a widely read forum such as this as you also become the target of legal action. You are not anonymous here, IP addresses are very easy to trace.
Right on all points Cdn Cple....

Who knows what happen on their trip, however some things are strange. I have booked with toms trips, and not with toms trips, their a travel agency, when you get there they are at the front and give you all your information, you can participate as much or as little as you want? We have been asked also to go to the playroom and didn't, no one cares or knows if you went or why you didn't show? And I couldn't tell you who booked with what travel group so how was the whole group was out to get you the next morning? No comes and invites you to the games and parties you have a list and show up if you want.
As far as not being allowed to get a taxi? The taxis are not owed by hedo and if you walk out the front and get in one they will take your money, I promise, that's how they make a living.
And the sexual assault, no one should push someone onto a beach chair that's true...sorry your wife was pushed I hope she was able to get up and let the person know she wasn't interested.
We were there Dec 27th- Jan. 3 and I believe Tom's trips were there a portion of those dates. The most shocking part of this story to us is that no other person intervened while your wife was assaulted. My wife is pretty freaking sexy and I'm very much an average Joe but as newbies to Hedonism my wife felt safer at Hedonism than she ever has at any swing club or lifestyle event we attended. There was an issue with a male guest in the nude Jacuzzi one night we were there, within minutes he was escorted away from the area and we never saw him again. The best part of story was NOT how quickly security intervened but how every man watched him closely until he was removed and I have NO doubt it would have ended very badly for him if others needed to be involved.
According to their posts, they were there Jan 5 - 10. Thanks for your newbie input that your wife felt safer there then anywhere else. I also feel the same way at Hedo. Not very often is my husband is not with me, but if he has gone to the washroom or back to the room to get something or wondered off for drinks for us or whatever - I know that anyone there, male or female will have my back if a situation would arise that makes me feel uncomfortable. It is one of the things I have always loved about Hedo that is why I just can't wrap my head around this unfortunate couples events.Originally Posted by laphanatic
Greetins to all,
This thread has certainly ignited a few fires.
Part of my day job is to actually figure out and define what people really are saying.
I have encountered many many times where one persons perspective (or how they perceived it) is completely different then the others.
Looking at witness testimony from two people looking at the same events, can be mind boggling.
As I have stated in previous posts, it is a matter of definition (especially the assault issue).
Many people have certainly brought up very valid points which make you go "hmmm..."
I (as I think others too), try to evaluate the situation with our experiences and internal measurement system.
If you asked me if something like this could happen at Hedo (the way discribed), I would have to lean towards the no.
We have encountered a few Wallys and so forth, I have had to step in a few times to stop unwanted advancements towards my wife and friends. But it all came to a QUICK end. For a man or woman to be pushy at Hedo is actually dangerous for them. Too many people would jump at the chance to "save" or "defuse" the situation. One scream from a woman would mobilize 99% of the men on the resort. I would NOT want to be the person who is the target of causing the distress.
Taxi
The only explaination I can imagine where the taxi experience makes sense, is that if you ask the front dest to call you a taxi and they say no (kind of... do it yourself). If the resort did not allow you to leave, that is a clear sign of illegal kidnapping.
Embassy
Here I have had some experience.
Embassy personnel can do VERY little. Their main function would be to advise you, or if arrested, to make sure you a treated fairly. Besides that, calling the embassy will not really help you (my family is a diplomatic family. We have lived in 5 countries and were part of the senior embassy staff).
Right .. wrong... true... false.... This thread should remind us that No means No.
That your perception of what is ok, is not necessarily the perception of others.
Hedo is a great place, however, it is not completely shielded from men and woman who might try to take advantage of the good natured, open minded, and loving people who visit. But what I can tell you, is that should it come to something unwanted, you will have more than enough people to your rescue if you need it.
See all of you in 5 days.
Love you all...
Cheers,

I'd love to post a long, articulate response to this nonsense, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
This is a crock on so many levels.
Bad things happen and they occasionally need to be dealt with. We had an issue arise last time we were at Hedo and I dealt with it.
We had the VERY fortunate occasion to have met Jon as a result and they were nothing short of concerned, accommodating to our needs, and assertive in taking action against the offender. It's actually the reason we booked our honeymoon trip WITH Jon and the Fluffs.
If something bad happened, and that is distinctly possible, is it not possible that it was your reactions and subsequent attitude toward all around you that ostracized you from their reindeer games? I don't care if someone is in the lifestyle or not, if they look miserable and unhappy, I'm going to avoid them. That's simply not something I need in my life, particularly on my vacation. As the last poster suggested, if you felt truly endangered, strength in numbers is generally closeby...so long as you haven't accused them of assault.
Best of luck.
There's no way for me to know what did or did not happen or what is true or false.However,the one evening my wife and I were in the piano bar we observed a GORGEOUS totally nude lady in a top hat and heels try unsuccessfully to tempt him.He was a perfect gentleman to her as well as everyone else present.And to top it all off,he and Kemar sang "My Way" together.What a great evening!Just sayin'.
I agree with the " Naughty Nudists"... We were there that same time.....
Just thought I'd ask....is the ones who started this thread perhaps the same ones who had a rant on the forum about anumber of things and when they were called out on it,seemed to disappear but then appeared with a new name?
Just asking...
oh my... this has become a huge mess....

I think one of us should edit his next novel... I find it hard to believe that he is published author with his writing skills...
I agree, there has to be someone who can vouch for them and their experiences at Hedo. We were first-timers last March. Did extensive research, read the boards here, talked to others, etc. Didn't have ONE negative experience as newbies. I had a few guys casually chat with me, compliment me, etc, but not one person made me feel uncomfortable. As for feeling like an outsider after the play-room incident. Perhaps they over-reacted, made a scene and others thought they were a "drama" couple? I know we would have!

Our experience at Hedo has always been great. We always book with a group but only participate in the activities that we choose too and have never been shut out or looked down upon for that, and that includes the playroom.
We love that we can go and do what we want and have a great time. Most of the people we have met have been very friendly and never have we experienced anyone disrespectful towards us.
Even with the diversity of people and the amount of alcohol, my wife has felt comfortable and safe, and we truly do believe that everyone there looks out for each other. I know that there have been a few instances where someone got
"stupid", but they are quickly dealt with by other guests, security, and Hedo Management, and these instances are extremely rare. The world is not perfect, people make mistakes, things happen, but the chances of having a completely bad trip at Hedo is unimaginable, (a bad day maybe......not likely), but your life is what you make of it, so is your vacation......someone may ruin a moment, but I'll not let anyone ruin my entire trip.....it's a big enough resort.
We personally recommend Hedo to anyone interested in a great resort in a beautiful country looking to have a good time.
