    It seems every year around this time, rumors start flying that rates have doubled from the previous year which is just not true.
    NO OFFENCE ...... But comparing Sandals to Hedo is like comparing apples to oranges..... For us... You can't put a price on the experience you get from Hedo..

    I agree with you but people keep thinking that Hedo has begun to price themselves as a high end property not realizing what other fancier resort sell for.

    I have to travel to PR a few times a year for business. I stay at a resort in the Fajardo area, the room, a few meals and a couple of drinks cost me more per night than the Garden View Prude room costs JoJo and I as a couple per night at Hedo. And while the PR room is nice it's by no means extravagant.

    I get that prices have gone up some but not that much. 6 years ago (before new ownership and millions of $$ in renovations) the rate was $153 for a Gardenview Prude room. This year it is $176. That is only $23 a night or $161 a week. That's nothing for the money Harry has put into it.

    So I guess for us Canadians and people in the UK the price difference is the $ and other factours NOT the resort. The resort has not put their price up much. I say we all just blame it on Trump lol

Remember, everyone says "No one goes for the room anyway" Honestly, since our Hedo3 days, this price is up around 400.00 in 7 years. (H3 closed in Aug 2010) Not the least bit expensive. Our trip coming up to RM is about 600 more. And we are ok with that. Prices are up everywhere, on everything. Good luck,..

    It seems every year around this time, rumors start flying that rates have doubled from the previous year which is just not true.
    Referring to pornstar1360's imaginary booking, we can get 5 nights at Sandals next door in the same month for $2050. Whilst not suggesting this is true for all dates in the year, given pornstar1360 had provided a reference point, it made sense to compare like for like. Hence we stand by the comment regarding 5* prices.

    It terms of the doubling of rates, our original post was not intended to imply that $ rates had increased to that extent. But the simple truth of the matter is that 2017 prices are double 2015 prices when expressed UK pounds. In fairness we did say in the original post that it was primarily aimed at fellow Brits, as we totally get that our woes will not concern the majority on this forum.

    We have found that if you get in touch with a travel agent, or a lifestyle group that will be attending the same time as you want to go, you can book with them, and get their group rates which are usually at a discounted price??? We have gone 2 New Year's with Sabina & Scott (Bare Bottom Bunch) GREAT group of people, & we have gone twice in February with TABOTA, (Topless Travel)....

    It wasn't till our seventh trip that I discovered the better rates (and fun) it can be to book with a group. We'd always booked the cheapest rooms we could get with the philosophy that we won't be in the room much, but on our sixth trip we were put in the building farthest from everything where the fence to the road and to Sandals next door is our view. Gonna try to stick to OVN or at least the nude side from now on.

    The issue is what it's always been-exchange rates.Exchange rates as you know "flucctuate."When the rate goes against your native currency you get that "Flucced Again" feeling very quickly!Below is a link showing the exchange rates of the major world currencies.You can plug in your native currency to compare it to the other top world currencies.

    I can't seem to calculate what our booked room (GVN) would cost if you are from the US or Canada, but we paid 3200 dollars. We are from Europe, The Netherlands, and are booked from March 24th through 31st so that's about 450 dollars per night.
    As I'm saying this out loud, 450 a night, I'm shocked. But I expect it's well worth it, it being our first time and probably an experience of a lifetime :-)
