Best & Worst of our Virgin Voyage to HedoIII

Best & Worst of our Virgin Voyage to HedoIII
February 20-24, 2008

You could tell how anxious we were to get there by how frustrated we were with the 2.5 hour delay for our flight. Upon arrival we jumped right in and never looked back. We spent most of our time to ourselves, but reached out to befriend as many couples as we had opportunities to... still, we never seemed to fall in with any group. It was nice that there wasn't a group there that dominated the campus, and any concerns about it being a slow week were squashed quickly... the place was overbooked. We had to change rooms after two days, but we saw lots of folks with horror stories about being put up at other places and bussed in for the morning. Ick.
Our daily routine was late breakfast, a little water sports, lounging around at the nude pool or beach, dinner, attending the entertainment, a short stop at the piano bar, disco, and then hot tub for a night cap. Mostly, the trip fulfilled our desires of much relaxation, together time, and some new fun. We had talked about having our first play with another couple, including wifey (D) getting a chance to experiment with some soft petting with another woman... much to our surprise these developments did in fact play themselves out (thanks M and H from England). Instead of a travel journal, here's our list of the best and worst of the trip:

Great (!!!) Trip Report. Thanks!

[JnD]

Thanks. It was a great time. D was amazed at how great a time she had. We're contemplating whether HIII again next year, or maybe try another place along the same lines, such as Desire.

[BUTTON]

loved your report. very helpful

[CopNkitten]

Loved the way you had it laid out (so to speak), lol.
Great report, planning your next trip yet?
Paul....

[RaviRav]

Excellant Report JnD. I Cant wait to write my first one!!!!!

[JnD]

loved your report. very helpful

I know the format was a little different, so glad to hear it was helpful. I was afraid the format was a bit self-indulgent and not that helpful.

[EHB]

This is one of the most infomative Trip Reports, which I have had the pleasure of reading. Format is perfect... Straight to the point. I may use it upon my return in lieu of the daily diary format used last year.. Glad you enjoyed your trip!

[Daddy'sGrrl]

You guys did a great job of conveying the good, the bad, and the...interesting.

We had a good time at Hedo back in November but are wondering if Desire might be better. Any input from anyone?

We like to be pampered on vacation while getting our freak on. I mean, we would forgo amenities in favor of nudity but is there somewhere we can get both?

The air conditioner in our ocean front room was leaking all over the floor and we nearly fell and cracked our heads open a bunch of times. Not my idea of a pampering resort experience. And we were unlucky enough to have several days of rain while we were there. Not a big problem because the mirror over the bed caused all sorts of fun to happen. But our high-end room leaked a sieve.

Like I said, we overlooked a lot of crap in favor of having a good time. We're willing to pay top dollar for an exceptional resort but I am having a hard time finding anything as wickedly fun as Hedo III.

Help!

[bigdawg]

one of the best trip reports I've ever read. With regard to the Hedo vs desire question....Desire has better service. If you want to be pampered desire is the clear choice. After 25 trips to both hedo's and desire, we've finally decided it all depends on the people you meet. We've never had a bad time at any of them. Some trips are little better than others, because we laughed a little more, partied a little later. After you get over the "wow facter" of your 1st trip its all about the people.

Great format!! Do you mind if we use it? It seems as though it would be a lot easier than trying to write a short story like so many other trip reports out there. I love how it allows both of us to add our own imput without each having to take the time to write a whole report. You may have revolutionized the trip report here.

[JnD]

Of course use it... it's all about sharing.
Some of the categories were kind of overlapping and could be in better order, but use anything that's helpful. I could even provide the marked up text as a template (with the coloring added already).

[Indianacouple]

Hello,from Indiana couple. Just read the trip report. It was very helpful. We'll be arriving in Jamaica Sunday April 6-10. We're anxious, but a little nervous. We're virgins to all of this. But excited to get our cherry popped. : I'm more shy, than my husband. We want to experiment. This is our 1st stay at hedo 3.

[marcncleo69]

Excellent report guys, well done
