Last I heard it was still under renovation. That's according to the group I belong to on FB. That question was just brought back up this past week.
We just returned home Sunday. They are moving fast on the disco and expect it should be done within the next 2 weeks.
Next trip Dec 15 - 21 2019
Should be ready by mid March.

Can anyone give some details on what is being done? Is it a complete overhaul/remodel? Are they doing anything with the bar area of the disco?
We sure would like to see the disco used more. Maybe if they're making it a lot nicer, it will attract the crowds... even if it doesn't really get going until after the Piano Bar stuff is wrapping up.

It is taken down to the bare concrete on the whole inside and they are starting back from there
Once completed are they moving the foam party back to the disco? We loved it last year there (except for the damn itching from drying out from the foam).

So where do they hold the party? Main pool? Isn't it really loud if it's outside?
They have a beach party but the pool with the pool table in it
The foam party is being held on the old skating rink right outside the disco. It works very well there. And I hope that they never put it back in the disco. That's what contributed to everything molding, stinking, and rotting out in there. I didn't ask, but I think they will keep it outside. It's a lot of fun there, they set a bar up right beside it, and there is close access to the plunge pools for rinsing off right after getting out of the foam.

Lol....the disco was moldy and rotten long before the foam parties! But sure it didn't help!
Will be interesting to see a real dance club at hedo!
Yeah! Someone who finally remembers the real story.
Long before the foam parties the disco was moldy, stunk, and was frankly gross. That was due to the resort reducing the load on the A/C system by shuting off the a/c in the disco while not in use. At least five years ago, the vents in the disco weren't blowing any cool air even when "on".
Even fixing the a/c and remodeling the disco won't fix the problem that killed the disco to begin with. I.E. music that's irrelevant to the guests, and DJ's that are incentivized to "run off" the crowd early so they can put the music on "auto-pilot" and close down due to nobody there.
There needs to be a mix of music that entices the guests to hang out there and at a volume level that doesn't run people out of there. I advocated years ago that they set a closing time of 2:30-3:00 AM, but require the DJ to stay till that closing time regardless of whether there's anyone there, or not. That way, maybe the DJ will be incentivized to keep a crowd there to prevent being bored, and thus play a good mix of music.
JMHO
WSSkier, you said exactly what we are thinking!
My husband is a hobby DJ who plays everything from 70's, 80's, 90's to whatever is on the charts today. We have repeatedly asked whether he could play for an hour or two (he does not want any money, just for fun. And we don't mind 2-3 am), but all we heard was "no, you can't, you are taking time away from our DJ's". We both love music and we love to dance, so we normally end up dancing in our room to our little Bluetooth speaker.
Would someone please give us a chance to share dancing with other hedonists...
