Rod & Pamela - July, 2008
7/7/08 to 7/11/08
Another great trip! Here are some of our
experiences/observations:
-Jamaica Customs and Immigration. Long lines in-bound
to the country. It took us about 90 minutes to make it
through the process. The Jamaican representatives were
very helpful and courteous throughout.
-Bus Trip to Hedo. Fairly quiet and reserved.
Only a few people with us for the ride. Driver didn't
make the pit stop which was fine with us.... we wanted to
get to Delroy's as quickly as possible.
-Resort Check In. Very quick... had drinks in our
hands with 3 minutes of arrival. Many staff members
recognized Pamela and called her by name (which pleased her
very much). Staff didn't think they had ever seem me
before (Pamela gets ALL the attention - which also pleases
her very much).
-Room. Management and staff have made many
improvements over the past year or so. The room was
spotless. Hot water when we desired. The TV
really was stuck on the Playboy channel (for you
non-believers out there - everyone at the pool though I was
making this up!). Eventually, I was able to get the TV
to change to one more channel which coincidentally was the
other Playboy channel. What are the odds of that?
-Rain. Every afternoon we all enjoyed the showers.
It cooled the evenings down a bit and gave everyone a chance
to relax a bit more.
-Staff. Best we've seen. Many new faces.
-Food. We don't go to Hedo for the food but noticed a
big improvement on quality and selections. Very nice
surprise.
-Friends. As always. We were able to enjoy some
friends from the past as well as enjoyed meeting many new
ones. This really is what the resort is all about.
What a wonderful bunch of people you all are!
-Single men. Many more than in the past and although
we heard a few stories about inappropriate advances, we had
no such experience.
-DennyP. We actually met a celebrity this time!
Yes, Denny P was at the resort and we enjoyed our
opportunity to meet and chat with him. He is a true
gentleman that does everything possible to make certain his
clients enjoy their stay. And if he tells you that he
can't control the weather, it's simply not true (I saw him
do it when nobody was looking). And he can make
sure your flights are not delayed also (Sorry Denny!).
We'll be coming back in February for trip number 10!
We're hopeful to see all of you there!
Respect,
ps: 15 minutes before we departed, I got the TV to
work on all channels (g).
