    Hedo II Trip Report Fri 9/14 to Wed 9/19, 2007

    Rather than bore everyone with the typical details which you can get from any of the reports here and on other websites. I thought instead we would write about the actual likes and dislikes of what we experienced. Being “Newbie’s” to Hedo II this was our take on things.

    Forum

    It was nice to be able to chat on this forum as it allowed us to make friends who were already there when we arrived! Big Plus! So we recommend if you are hesitant and are just lurking here, to check the trip calendar for your date and contact the others listed who will be at the resort when you are! It gets things off the ground much quicker and makes for more fun on Day One and beyond! Paul, Joan, Hedo Joe, Mark and Denise what can we say you all were awesome to party with and loads of fun! Thanks for being a major part of our great memories of this trip!

    Food

    Buffet- Forget it! It sucks! Felt like we were in High School again deciding on which mystery meat looked safest. LOL! We strongly urge anyone to make reservations often at Pastafari (which was very good in comparison) or secondly Munasan. However if they are going to have a Japanese Steak House on property then maybe the owners of Hedo should consider sending the head chef to an actual Japanese Steak house for training! The food there however was OK. Cooking show was boring

    Nude Pool Grill is fair but do-able, and we strongly encourage the wait for the Jerk Chicken at 4:30 Yes it is a wait but it is the best you can get. If you cannot wait that long, then bring some cash to the pool and buy the fresh grilled lobsters from the guys selling on the beach, they run about $10 bucks each…..This will be the best food you will eat all week if you like lobster!

    Bars

    Delroy’s Nude Pool Bar is definitely the place to drink and play all day and after hours! Just remember to pack large jug like travel cups as the barware does not hold much in quantity, so you will have to refill often! Delroy and Scumba are great to their guests; however some of the fill in female bartenders are extremely “less than friendly”.

    Piano Bar

    While we all made the best of it when it was actually staffed with a piano player, they definitely could use a seasoned pro. Our entertainer stumbled through many songs trying to figure out the melody, but we all made the best of it! A little disappointing personally though as we love a good piano sing along bar on a vacation.

    Disco

    Fun and exciting place to be on P.J. Night (after a while it is actually nice to see everyone in sexy outfits rather than naked at the pool…Kind of spices it up a notch) but not much else going on the rest of the week. Could use better A/C as the heat kind of ends the party early and everyone heads back to the pool to cool off.

    EC’s

    The entertainment coordinators at first impression appeared to be very lame and not much involvement with the crowd. However we found that by taking the time to chat and getting to know them made them much more willing and involved and the amount of activities (especially poolside) increased as time went on.

    Bus Ride

    We read so much about the horrendous bus ride, when actually it was not that bad. One stop at a roadside bar for a red stripe and for others to purchase some ganja, but the 1 ˝ hour ride gave some good time to get to know others who would be at the resort too. Being cigarette smokers it was a nice break in the trip to Hedo. The Super Clubs Lounge however would do good to have a bar in it as you wait for the bus or at least a free tropical drink (rather than a bottle of water) for the ride.

    PDA’s

    AKA Public Displays of Affection…No shortage in this department especially around 3 p.m. until dinner then resuming after 11:00 pm. mostly at the nude pool/hot tub. If you like your porn circa 70’s then you will love the 11:00 p.m. show. This is what Hedo is all about! The freedom to express yourself out in the open with a beautiful pool and tropical seascape as your background set. If you are voyeurs, then it is Heaven on Earth. If you are exhibitionists it is Carnegie Hall, and if you are swingers it can be quite a Smorgasbord.

    While we are definitely no prudes by any stretch of the imagination, the turn off for us after observing, was that we often wondered if most of the people had actually seen any of the literature, billboards, or TV commercials regarding STD’s. We were quite shocked at how many people engaged in playing bareback with others, all while ditching their common sense. Perhaps they thought that they were living back in the 70’s when STD’s were not as prevalent. While we understand that one can get caught up in the heat of the moment’s excitement and/or atmosphere, we were shocked at the amount of disregard for the practice of safe sex. It actually turned us off and left us somewhat fearful to considering playing with anyone. We are certainly not trying to preach to anyone, and believe that what you do is solely your decision; we are just trying to give everyone an honest account of things.

    A funny story to illustrate just what we are talking about: We did hear from someone reliable (The taker actually) while we were there, that during body shots on the bar, a girl got up and offered to have them done off of her, when the first female taker bellied up between her legs, she told the taker that she had a yeast infection but it was up to her if she still wanted to do the shot. Needless to say the taker declined! But it was amusing to watch the rest of the week as this girl continually joined others in unprotected hardcore swing activities and then watched as those people she was with, joined others and so on and so on…. So for as much it as it can be fun getting caught up in the heat of things, remember that other people (who just may be carrying something you don’t want) can get caught up in the same excitement too!

    Recommendation: Common Sense-Be Safe, Be Selective! Besides HIV, there are also things like Hepatitis C and Herpes to be concerned about out there in the world. Remember you can’t wash herpes off and that is nothing to clap about!

    Length of Stay

    While it seems that most book for a week or more, we found it quite perfect to stay 5 nights. By day 3 we both looked at each other and said the same thing “5 nights is plenty” Things can get to be a little redundant at Hedo and one thing we found was that arriving a day or two prior to the Saturday changeover and leaving before the next changeover, gave us an opportunity to meet and get to know 2 waves of people. We would recommend that you book from a Wednesday or Thursday thru to the following week as your schedule will allow, for just this reason. Though again 5 days can be plenty!

    Catamaran Trip

    Our morning clothing optional catamaran cruise could not have been better. Usually we are skeptical at shelling out 50 bucks a head for any kind of tour type thing. But we are glad we did, as it was well worth the money. Instead of the trip that goes to Rick’s café, we opted (due to rain every day at 2 p.m.) to take the 10:00 a.m. to pirates cave. Snorkeling on the reef was great! The sun was not at peak yet so it made it more pleasant temp wise and Rasta Ralphie just cannot be beat! K highly recommends the $20 foot and leg massage from Steve while on board, ladies do not pass it up! The only thing that can get unbearable is they try to sell you everything while onboard from Pirated Reggae CD’s to Jewelry, etc…But if you get up and dance to the music and get the party started, it stops the peddling activities as everyone including the crew joins in on the fun.



    Summation:

    Hedo II is a wonderful place to unwind and let your hair down. Do not go if you have a “Please Pass the Grey Poupon attitude” as you will be greatly disappointed. By no means is it a 5 Star resort, Perhaps 2 ˝ or 3 at best. But the people who come here from all over have genuine 5 star attitudes and a friendliness which makes for a great time. In a cynical world where no one even takes the time to get to know their neighbors anymore, or says hello to each other, it is extremely refreshing just to experience the warm and friendly attitude that we all remember growing up as kids. In our travels we have found that nudists and swingers tend to be the most open, friendly, honest people we have ever met, and that is what makes Hedo a great place to visit at least once in your lifetime.

    Food for Thought: The owners have a great thing going and it seems as if they have put the resort on auto pilot for a long time from all that we have read and from what we have experienced amenity, service and staff wise. The price to visit is not cheap and can be equivalent to that of a better quality resort somewhere else or a nice cruise that offers more to do. If you are in the group with the mindset that it is time for them to tend to the resort and lift it up in quality, then it is time to send a message to the owners that they need to upgrade or better manage things. Hedo could be a 4 to 5 star if it wanted to be, but as long as we all keep showing up, why should they do anything?

    Thank you, KandN for such a well written and informative trip report. My wife and I are planning for our first trip and we're going to H2. Friends of ours have gone and want to attend with us. Still working out schedules.

    You covered many of the angles that sometimes get lost in other trip reports. Great job.

    Great job on the trip report. Whichever one one of you that wrote it hit on items that most others don't think about writing about, me included. I did like your section on the PDA's. There are a lot of things that I could bring home to my wife as a present but there are others that I know she would not care for.

    K, I appreciate honesty and I know that you will tell it like it is. Now that I am back to my normal, hectic life, you sure do bring a smile to my face. I miss "hanging out" with all of you. Sitting on a lounge chair will never be the same.

    Great report. We are going for our first in Nov. Neither one of us has ever strayed, but we will be going prepared mentally, emotionally, and with protection just in case.
    Good boy/girl scouts that we are we believe in "always be prepared".

    Thank you for mentioning this! We recently tried playing with another couple and were dismayed to find they (both of them in the health care field) never use protection for oral and thought I was a paranoid freak for wanting to! I don't see why it's hard to understand that one nice wet orafice is just as dangerous as another to transmit whatever fun little creatures might be stirring...and after all...isn't that why they make flavored ones??
