    Hey Moore... What's up. A different side if I may...

    I would expect the wealthy to expect more, just cause they are used to getting more. I am not wealthy (as in millionaire) but I make enough (present day not included) to get what I want, when I want and how much I want. I was not offended at the lacking from any department at H3.

    I would further expect that if someone was not "wealthy" the very chance to be at Hedo, or any place as "cool" while living on a low salary, would suffice nicely. I may not be right, but that's what I think anyway. I have been broke and I have been well off. Lacking facilities would piss someone like me off way more if I was able to afford the very best and less than best was what I got. Enough about that.

    The food. I am probably not even qualified to speak here, but as usual I will. At H3, I stayed away from every weird sounding food I heard. By weird, I also include "jerk chicken." The name doesn't sound weird, but when I think of any 60 Minutes special I have ever seen about the way chicken is prepared here in the US. I was sure that Jamaica would do a worse job (lol)... Also, because my personal diet keeps me away from rich foods and the fact that I wanted to make sure my eating habits in Jamaica did not slow me down, I stayed with the very, very basics: Bagels, toast, fruit, pancakes, cheese, pre-packaged yogurt, french toast, sandwiches and the like. I ate nothing fried, greasy, or otherwise. I felt light and great all the time and never needed one ounce of Imodium or other stomach assistance. FOR ME ONLY, I can't imagine eating greasy foods knowing I would be in the hot sun and filling my stomach with alcohol all evening. Just doesn't sound like a match made in heaven to me. Again, that's just me. "A" also followed the same strategy and was fine all week.

    I assume Jwoods booked with an 5 star resort in mind. I use "fun" to rate my resorts now and H3 is above 5 star in my book of fun.

    I completely agree that Jwoods has the right to blow off steam. I try and take none of that away. I just need more than a room downgrade to convince me that the guy isn't just too uptight in life.

    We went to Sandals years ago... IT SUCKED. In contrast, the food was great, the facilities were great (don't know about now) but the crowd was full of duds. We went to H3 in search of sexual nature things, including the very idea of being naked around each other and others in public. Call it an item on life's curiosity/wish list. Other ideas for "A" to play with a girl or two factored in heavily as well. We found that in 30 minutes we loved the place for reasons other than why we went. We got what we went for, but got so much more.

    I have always said if you send two guys to the mall and tell them to buy the coolest shirt they can find, they will NEVER come back with the same one. That's true in life. I think that most folks that go to Hedo and love it, would at least find their favorite shirt amongst the same few stores. Those that DON'T love Hedo, will likely not even GO in those few stores. Silly analogy I know, but those who LOVE Hedo will get it.


    Is your glass "half full," or "half empty"... At Hedo, who cares... go ahead and fill it up every time you're near the bar...

    Jwoods,

    It is really too bad that you did not have a good vacation. We all need to get away sometimes, and I have had vacations that were more trouble than they were worth.

    I have been to Hedo and had a great time, but that was our experience. I think that some people have offered a different outlook, but the bottom line is you didn't get the vacation you were looking for and you were disappointed. I know that some people who were not happy with Hedo have tried Desire. You may find that more to your liking. Good luck with your next vacation!

    Kristy

    Who said anything about wealthy? I was referring a degree of financial health in which a Hedo trip would be a small chunk of the budget, and not something a person who either have to save a long time for, or spend a long time paying off. Two years ago it would have taken me a year or more to save up for my two weeks at Hedo III. Today I can pay for that same trip with one paycheck.

    It makes a huge difference in how I tolerate food that makes me sick and I'm DEFINITELY NOT wealthy.

    You know that I eat Halliburton (actually over here it's KBR) food every day, and have for the last 19 months so I'm not that picky about food. I just want my shit to be solid. It didn't matter what I ate at Hedo III. Someone in their kitchen was not washing their hands. I don't mind that the food was bland, but nobody should be squirting brown liquid out of their ass by the end of their vacation. I don't care if it's a 3 star or a 1 star, that's fucked up, and I wasn't the only one. It took ONE MEAL back in the US to get my digestion back to prefect, by the way.

    I'm talking about people who are better able to rolling with financial punches, not people who helicopter in and out of Hedo III. I'm talking about people like you.

    Truly wealthy people don't vacation at places like Hedo III in the first place. That's why there is such a thing as a star rating system. If I remember correctly Hedo III is a 3 star and Hedo II is 2 star place.

    I'll let you in on a secret of poor folks. A lot of the wild and crazy stuff that "financial better off" folks go to Hedonism for poor folks do at home among friends, or at their jobs. Work at any restaurant from McDonald's through a 5 star place, a Walmart, or any place in a mall, and on a regular basis you'll see and do wilder stuff than most folks encounter at Hedonism.

    A little over two years ago I was working a part time job as a waiter/bartender at a golf club and things went on there that were so wild that the staff had an almost Mafia-like code of silence. I was also working another part-time job at a restaurant at the same time and it was nude party, bi-curious girl central.

    I loved my trip to Hedo III, but I sure didn't need to go all the way there, and pay all that money, to get nude, or have wild sex.

    If you can have anything you want, get a hot tub, a fence, a decent sound system, and a baby sitter, then have some like minded friends over and have Hedonism at home for a much lower price. It really is that easy.

    Dude I said, come to Hedonism if you're coming for friendly people and "sexual nature things". I said I don't understand why prudes come there.

    Send the "well off" guy to the mall and he'll get a cool shirt. Send the poor guy to the mall and he'll fuck the salesgirl in the dressing room and get a free shirt.

    WooHoo!!!!

    Everyone has the right to an opinion. However, if a room "downgrade" and questionable food can turn Hedo into "the worst vacation ever", what does this say about this guy? Inquiring minds want to know: Was this all that went wrong, or was there something else? Why won't you provide the real details?

    If your whole vacation hinged upon the quality of the room and food, why did you go to Hedo? You've been on this forum for a while now - what did you expect?

    Dude....get over it! We get it, your trip sucked you aren't going back...so why are you still b!tching about it? Sounds like you are a miserable person anyway and that nothing would have made you happy. Sorry about your bad luck (and attitude). The resort was VERY packed....I bet most of the people on this forum had some sort of issue....the door to our room broke twice....shit happens...make the best out of it.

    Why don't you write the resort and tell them how bad it sucked?

    We just got back from Hedo II on Aug. 1st. I found the food wonderful at times (loved the Japanese Restaurant), ate tons of yummy bacon at breakfast, wonderful fresh breads, and all the sweet juicy fruit I could handle at every meal, salad, cheese, etc. The 'jerk chicken' we ate on the beach just a few paces away from Delroy's Bar, made by the sweetest young man, was out of this world. I enjoyed lounging there under one of those palm trees, naked, sitting with legs straddling the lounge, eating that delicious messy chicken with my fingers while my guy was off to play tennis with Garfield (who my guy reports is the best tennis pro he has played with throughout the whole Caribbean - and he has played them all over the Caribbean). Needless to say, these are only a few reasons why we had a wonderful time on our trip there - the people who work there are wonderful - we were sweet to them and they to us and there were hugs goodbye when we left and we will return in February. Can't wait. We met some great people that we now correspond with, so that was a plus, too. We just love people in general and everywhere we go, look for the good. This is the attitude you take anywhere in life, on vacation, or wherever and then you can NEVER have a bad time, anywhere. Your time is as quality and good as you choose to make it. So, I guess the man complaining did not have this outlook. I am now counting my days to our second trip, as are so many of you counting the days for a repeat trip. Isn't it great?!! (Oh, by the way, in complimenting the food and saying I ate so much bacon - you must be wondering if I have a weight problem - for 51 years old - I don't! haha) I'm doing okay I suppose. haha. But at this age I do have to be careful. One last thought - but it's what everyone says - it is so true there are people there of all sizes and shapes, naked and loving it - it's about freedom and accepting and enjoying each other as people! Being naked was great for us - it's hard to wear clothes now - I never thought I was so great with clothes anyway, never could figure out what looked 'right' on me - now I have a place to go where it doesn't matter - yippee!

    We had the best two weeks of our lives and can't wait to go back. But we did notice a big change towards the end of the fortnight. Unfortunately H3 had overbooked by 13 rooms from the 8\4 and one poor couple had no room for two days, two other lone females had to sleep on guests' floors. In our first week it was quieter and the service was fantastic, the staff were rushed off their feet after the 8/4.
    What made our vacation so fantastic though was the fab people we met. Thanks pornstar and sungoddess

I believe, based on our experience, that Hedo 3 is fantastic, but then I also like the curried goat.
    We had the same exact experience as Sluggo. We were there at the same time and received the same certificate. I lost mine somehow and Donna faxed both me and the Travel agent a copy.
    As I talked to the front desk staff on both our previous trips, I have never had a problem. They've always been kind and helpful. I've never experienced any of the staff being rude to me. I can't even relate to jwoods posting at all. Our experience has always been the opposite.
    Whenever we have left Hedo, I've always had plenty of staff people to commend on the comment card.
    But I can't say that I like curried goat.
    See you again the first week of November.

    Thinking along the lines of JA and Moore, I never expected 5 star meals at H3. Hell, I drink more tequilla and beer in a week than the rent they collect! Just step back at the nude pool sometime and watch Serena and Bevelyn, they NEVER stop. I like it just the way it is. If you had non stop 5 star meals avaiable, it would cost you 10 grand a week to go there.
