Brent & Sherry - August, 2008
Sherry and I headed home on August 5th through
the 15th. 10 days is always hard because you
watch so many folks come and go, but it was a great trip.
Foregoing all of the hoorah about the trip from the airport
to the resort, it was as it always is. Upon arrival, Romeo
ushered our bags to the room and all was well. We rushed to
the pool and began to get our drink on. Even after 13 trips,
we participated in the “ do it all in one day” ruse and
jumped in as quickly as we could. Sherry brought wigs and
costumes for every single day, so I had a new concubine
every night. It was very fun! Even better, since the resort
was at about 30% capacity, the daily conversation was.. who
is Sherry going to be tonight… as every wig/.costume was a
different character. It rained hard for the first three
days, but the sun peered out and canceled out any chance of
free days.
Lobster was up about $20 dollars, we decided not to imbibe. A lot
of our friends from last year were present, so we had a
great time with them, but we made some great new friends as
well. Disappointments…. EC’s were lazy until Winston came
back in from the states, then he rev’ed everything back up.
Come on Sarge… why aren’t you showing his leadership. 1st
toga night winner was to a local that wasn’t wearing a toga.
Give the sucker a bottle of rum, but don’t call him the toga
winner. Winston killed that on the second week…. No toga…
you didn’t compete. Winston should be the boss.. my
corporate observation. While he was around they stepped up!
We were also disappointed that the Munasan and Pastafari
restaurants were “dark” several nights, I guess because of
capacity. Come on guys, cut staff… not services! We heard
that folks had been laid off. The new piano bar player is an
incredible player (Dion)… unfortunately he has to use his
MOTIF keyboard as the piano is so badly out of tune. He also
had to pull an amp from the Karaoke system. Come on Hedo…
should I sell you a new amp? I can sell you one cheap! This
had them a little off kilter every evening, doing the set
up.
Disco remains way better at H3… just can’t understand why H2
won’t play music catered to the current crowd….. folks
drifted away quickly. As a former DJ, I always tried to
listen to my constituents and played what they wanted to
hear. Funny how that works… folks hang around!
Repeaters… this was our 13th trip. Invitation to a
repeater party? Not either week. What’s that about? We went
anyway and actually won a free week!!! Where is the
attention to detail?
Delroy finally showed up… he had been at Vegas at a convention.
Don’t know why he bothered… he didn’t seem into it. Scumba
rocked the whole time. Maybe Delroy was worn out?
The buffet was generally acceptable and we had no complaints at
any meal. The Reservation staff seemed to lack attention to
detail, booking us for a 9:00 PM reservation at Munasan that
actually was 8:30 PM. That meant we got no fried rice, come
on ladies… pay attention.
A bad day at Hedo II is a better day than anywhere else… so these
comments were only meant to make suggestions for areas that
need improvement
