Mary I understand what you are saying about losing money. but think about this I know you have a big group and so you are going to take them to hedo II ok hedo II has all the people that has been going to hedoII for years. How it is going to feel when the resort is over booked like you said in another post and some of your group gets bumped to another resort? I respect you and all the others on here but if I book hedo then hedo is what i expect to have. im not going to be happy going some place with kids ugg that would be the pits for me.
I could never ever get nude with kids that is not right lol to you all your all my hedo frineds and I so hope we can find a new place in Jamaica,,
Like I have said I may go back to hedo II dave and I got married at II so it holds a place with me but im not going any time soon.
I will get my grove someplace
We decided the last trip to H3 last Dec. it was going to be our last. After 10 visits the resort was just going down hill and not coming up. Super Club has no loyalty so we don't either. We are switching to Caliente Caribe. Hope to see some of you. Al
Carolyn, I'm not happy about this...and I'm not going to be happy if they overbook and bump. PRESUMABLY that was another problem with outside agents who were booking wrong and that problem was suppose to have been corrected within the system. Who knows!
However what I don't like is people bad mouthing Hedo 2 to the point of scaring people about their future trips. I also think it's ridiculous to expect either 2 or 3 to stay open just because they supposedly owe us and should now be supporting us to take continued trips.
Now if we could find another place that would work for us and provide the same atmosphere we will be there if they group wants to go!

I've noticed that as well...and truthfully, I prefer Cancun over Jamaica.however i have found that the prices on flights to jamaica are going up up up. cheaper to fly to mexico.
Despite my displeasure with Temptation resort, I'd LOVE to take the group there if they allowed nudity.
Now when we were there last year, the GM did tell us they would consider a takeover or at least allow us to have the "quiet pool" for all nude.
However, they'd have to ease off on the "no PDA" policy and improve their night time activities for us to even consider it. Coercing everyone into leaving the resort every night and making the resort/disco distasteful would not be even worth the change.
The problem is I'm not certain I would trust them to live up to their word if they made such promises.
But...Temptation has lots of possibilities!

Okay.... Lets get real here:
Mr Irrelevant (hey hun!) is right in principle but its not going to happen. Trying to organise a worldwide boycott is going to take a lot more than this board and Denny's. Write letters of complaint, they will read them and then put them on the pile with the rest - filed under B for bin.
Superclubs are notoriously awful at Marketing and CRM, their brands are mixed and confusing. They have no real mechanism for listening to customers. (I'm not talking about staff on site here, I'm talking about corporate) They have never asked for our opinion before and certainly won't listen if we push it upon them.
So this is what's going to happen:
Hedo 3 will get rebranded to a superfun resort (wow catchy, however did they come up with that name? I'm going to carry on calling it Hedo 3).
Hedo 2 & 3 prices will go up because of the niche market conditions and someone has pay for all that rebranding.
Hedo 3 regulars and newbies will continue to book Hedo 3 but expect the "Hedo" experience still. Nudity/PDA's, erotic games etc. The resorts' reputation will hold out for a few years yet, despite a rebranding.
So these activities will either be heavily policed and guests will complain and never return. Or, over time the consumer will win and the Hedo vibe will return just under another name. - Which could actually be the whole idea in the first place.....
Thats my two cents, what do you think?
Next trip - Hedo II Feb 2022,
Nov '07 '08 '09 '10 '15 '19 - with Wild Women & Kink in the Caribbean, I miss Hedo 3.
To echo what many have said already, I hope that the re-branded resort falls short and doesnt draw the people that they expected.
It might though as it seems they are finding a lower price point by not offering airport transfers or diving or... It may become one of the cheaper resorts around.
And who is going to pay for all the renovations if they are pricing it on the cheap side? You and I as when go to Hedo II, If there is any truth to a 10 - 15% rate increase.
Im not sure how many Hedo III regulars are going to want to return to the resort if they know about the re-branding. And newbies; If I were a newbie and went to a travel agent and walked in asking to be booked at Hedo III and was sent to the Superfun Family Resort, If the agent had the information and didnt tell me, If I went looking for what we all know as the Hedo Vibe and found the most exciting thing at the resort is the "New and Improved WaterSlide", Id be calling lawyers.
The only way I see the new resort surviving is if they price themselves well below the others, creating their own market.
As disappointed as I am, and as many of us have mentioned, its all about number and dollars and cents (not sense).
The passion and love we Hedo III'ers feel for the resort cant pay the bills.
And yes, not that I can speak for Superclubs, they do hope and believe that we will transfer our loyalties (and $) to HII and in time feel the same way that we do about our broken home.
Cheers

The kind of discussion we are getting now is what I was hopeful for a week ago when I posted the "panic" post. Obviously, there is little or nothing we can do now to change the decision, and I agree that we PROBABLY had little or no chance a week ago-especially with the whole ownership thing.
I like MaryW's and some others ideas that the best thing we can do is give H2 a chance, watch SUPERDUPERSTUPID NOFUN resort go down in flames. Maybe the owners of H3 will realize what STUPIDCLUBS is doing to them by moving all of "their" business to H2 and will demand a change back. As much as I hate to admit it, it is a better strategy for us to reward SUCKYCLUBS, pay the higher prices at H2 so they can keep profitable (and afford to renovate), and hope that in two-three years we get our H3 back.
I sure would like to hear from Chris (founder of 4Hedonism.com) on this issue, and get his thoughts. Has anyone heard from him on this- wonder if we'll still keep the two forums.
