Dave & Sandra - -08/00

Dave and Sandra's Hedo III Trip Report: 8/24/00 - 8/29/00
 
The Journey:
 
We were lucky enough to have a direct flight out of Los Angeles.  The flight, for us, was horrendous only because we were stuck in row 11 which doesn't recline.  We couldn't sleep a wink.  Getting through Customs at Sangster Intl. was a breeze - granted it was 7AM, but it was still easy.  Reception at the SuperClubs desk was awesome and, again, very easy.  We only had 3 pieces of luggage with us and were naive when a porter told us that we needed to pile our luggage with everyone else's on his cart for the journey to the bus.  The bus was only about 20 yards away and those 20 yards cost $5.
 
The ride to the resort was uneventful.  We did make a rest stop about an hour into the ride; it's obvious that the drivers get kick-backs from the little store owners.  I figured out very quickly that everything in Jamaica is $1.50 US or some multiple thereof.  A little bag of Ritz Bits and a Ting was $3!!
 
The journey from the resort back to the airport at the end of our stay was a little different.  Our driver was obviously practicing for the Paris to Dakkar Rally or something like that.  In addition to driving WAY too fast for their little busy roads, we almost were witnesses to a horrible crash.  The oil truck in front of us decided he wanted to pass the truck that was in front of him.  He passed on a slight hill right as a semi was coming towards him.  The semi slammed on his brakes, fish-tailed onto the shoulder and almost rolled over right in front of us.  The oil truck had to whip back into the lane so fast that he almost lost control too.  On the journey to and from the resort, we saw the remnants of 3 recent truck rollovers so it's obvious that this happens often.
 
When we got to the airport we were greeted by another porter who, this time, took our bags a total of about 25 yards for.  Next time, I will be saying, "no porter".  By the way, we tipped the driver $5 and that seemed to be the norm.  The airport was a sea of people.  There seemed to be no organization what-so-ever.  It was very hot and humid and it didn't take long to remember the frustrations of society.  As unorganized as it seemed at first, the Jamaican Air employees shuttled people along pretty good.  We had an hour and a half wait in the airport so there is plenty of time for some last minute shopping and a couple of Red Stripes.
 
The flight home was great!  We scored row 12 which is the row right behind the seats that don't recline.  It's an exit row so the leg room is HUGE!!!  We talked to a travel agent and he told us that row 12 on Jamaica Air is the best seats after First Class -- I agree wholeheartedly!!!  I'm 6' tall and I could completely slouch in my seat with my legs fully extended.  Highly recommended.
 
US Customs at LAX was unbelievably fast.  I don't know if it was a fluke or not, but I was able to get thru Customs and baggage claim faster than I ever have on a domestic flight.  It was great!
 

The Resort and it's Amenities:
 
The entry to the resort and the front desk are nice.  We were able to check-in very quickly.  Once again, it was relatively early in the morning so that may have something to do with it.  On our walk to our room, we did notice the broken waterwheel (rusted shaft) and grass that wasn't exactly "fairway green" but, otherwise, everything looked great!  We, at first, wanted a room in the 600 building overlooking the nude pool but they were all booked so we received an upgrade to a suite in building 500.  We were actually the furthest away from the rest of the resort that you could get and it was GREAT!  EVERYONE mentioned that they could hear noise all night long - we heard nothing!  We were still only about 50 yards from the nude pool but the noise was blocked by the 600 building.  If you want quiet at night, I highly recommend the 500 building.
 
Our room was very nice except for a couple things.  We had an ant problem.  The little piss-ants were attracted to anything that resembled "sweet".  They loved the flowers that were left by room service.  We also had a problem with one huge, incredibly fast cockroach.  Let me tell you something, the cockroaches in L.A. are lethargic compared to this Mario Andretti.  I finally got him when he scurried into the curtains.  He obviously came in thru the windows.  That was the only day when we left the windows open all day long.
 
The AC is great!  If you leave it running you will freeze your ass off when you come in from the pool at 4AM.  The TV and the fact that they have the Playboy Channel running 24/7 is also great!!  Nothing like waking up in the morning, having a cup of coffee and watching two hotties pleasuring themselves -- memories of the night before in the nude jacuzzi -- but more about that later.
 
The rest of the amenities at the resort were pretty good.  The only things that I'd say to look out for is the tile, the steps to the disco and the waterslide.  Nothing like Jamaican engineering at it's finest.  We all know about how slippery the tile is, well, it's worse than that.  The steps to the disco seem to be fashioned with no measurement at all.  They are extremely step and narrow.  I never went on the waterslide myself.  I opted not to after seeing the injuries to people coming off it.  Sandra got a nasty bruise on her tailbone and I saw numerous bruises and lacerations on people's thighs.  Lot's of bruises!  Use it at your own risk.
 
I never went in the gym (my idea of a workout on vacation is 12oz. curls!), but it looked like it had state-of-the-art equipment.  The pool and ping pong tables were good.  There were also lots of board games to choose from (like somebody would actually want to play Monopoly when there are beautiful naked women frolicking in the nude jacuzzi!).
 
All the pools were really nice to look at.  It's only after you get in that you begin to notice things.  I, personally, never set foot in any pool other than the nude pool (why would I want to hang out with a bunch of stuffy prudes?) so I can only give you a first-hand report of the nude pool and jacuzzi.  The bar stools at the bar will rip you to shreds if you're not careful.  So will the edges on the jacuzzi.  I don't know what idiot designed these, but he or she should be shot!!  We never had too many problems with the temp of the water in the jacuzzi.  One of our "gang" found the on/off switch for the heater and kept us nice and regulated.  There is no thermostat, so it's either on or off which is what's been causing all the problems with the temp.  The staff will come by in the evening and turn it on so by 3AM it's too hot.  It gets turned off during the day so by 4 or 5PM, it's too cold.  Dumb.  I think the door to the equipment room is on the back side of the waterfall.  Check it out.
 
There were plenty of chairs and plenty of towels everywhere.  Nola and Ann-Marie kept the drinks flowing at the bar.  Two of the most wonderful ladies I've ever met!!!  They can whip up the most incredible drinks.  Check out the "Hummingbird", or as I referred to them, "Hummers".  There was always some inflatable raft floating around so you may or may not want to bring your own.
 

The Activities:
 
I am definitely NOT going to put the staff down in any way, shape or form but the planned activities were a little boring.  The staff worked their asses off trying to get people motivated and for a variety of reasons I never saw things "clicking".  I think the primary reason is that all the activities are on Jamaica Time.  It took FOREVER to get things going once they were annouced.  I think another downfall is that a lot of the activities were planned for the Main Dining Room Stage.  The Stage is a nice venue for bands and such but I think that the Toga Party, for example, would have been outta control had it been in the Disco where you have 200 drunk partiers screaming and yelling for you.  As it was, there was a small crowd of people sitting at tables politely clapping when someone came onstage.  Exactly the same for the wet T-shirt contest.  It would have been a blast in the disco, but as it was it was a little tame.
 
There was the usual round activities like The Human Sundae, Body Shots, Pussy Shaving, Body Painting, etc.  We all did them once and it was so tedious that we just never participated after that.  I'll explain; for Body Shots, Pee Wee had all the girls lie on their backs on the bar in the nude pool.  The bar isn't that wide and all the girls kinda had to sit up and lean on the girl's knees behind her.  It took so long to get things going that all the girls were complaining that their tailbones were killing them.  It kinda took all the fun out of it.  For those who were a little timid, I suppose that these activities are great ice-breakers.
 

Ok, on to the fun stuff:
 
Are you going to see someone having sex?  Unless you're blind or have a bag over your head, you probably will.  Will you be the one having the sex?  Just like every other trip report has stated, if you're outgoing and fun to be around you will probably make some friends who will invite you to "play" with them.  To give you an idea; it was about 3PM or so in the nude pool.  Everyone had been drinking for at least 3 or 4 hours by that time...enough to get loosened up a bit.  My lovely wife suggested that we go behind the waterfall in the nude pool for a little "afternoon delight".  Well, much to our delight, we were soon joined by about 4 other couples and it soon became a hedonistic grope, lick and suck fest.  There was flesh everywhere.  Penises, asses, breasts, lips, and tongues all kinda swirled together in one big psychedelic chlorinated whirlpool.  And, no, I hadn't smoked any of that evil Jamaican ganja.  Here's another testimonial;  we brought our own "Dirty Dice" to play with in the jacuzzi at night.  I dubbed myself the "DiceMaster" and as such, was able to make the rules of the game.  The game was simple.  You roll and whatever comes up, you get to choose who in the jacuzzi to perform your turn with.  The recipient then got to roll the dice and choose their recipient.  With few exceptions, almost everyone went along with it.  It was almost like Truth or Dare.  My highpoint was asking 8 beautiful women to stand up and put their arms around each other while I licked all the way across 16 beautiful breasts.  I had a smile on my face for days...still do, for that matter.  Based upon what I saw, it was the women who really had the opportunity to live out their fantasies.  I've never seen more girl on girl action in my entire life.  Does that mean that the guys got left out?  Not at all!  There was plenty of action to go around, if you know what I mean.  At one point in time, there were about 4 girls who were extremely "busy" and were taking forever to complete their turns so I, as DiceMaster, just turned around and gave the dice to someone else.  At one point in time, we had about 3 separate turns going at once.  And I was concerned that Hedo 3 might be boring.....HA!!!
 
DisneyLand for Adults:
 
Yes it is!!!  All you have to do is endure about 2 minutes of pure terror as you drop your towel and frantically look around to see if anyone is looking at you.  After about 30 seconds, you'll realize that nobody cares.  Believe it or not, all the men had penises of various shapes and sizes and all the women had breasts of various shapes and sizes.  Some people were shaved, some were not.  Some people were fat, some were not.  Some had piercings, some did not.  Some were sunburned and some were smart and wore at least SPF15 waterproof sport sunblock.  Some were married, some were single.  Some were pilots, some were oil company executives, some were students, some worked retail, some owned their own companies, some were retired and partying their way around the world.  Basically, it was just a cross-section of society.  Granted, everyone was nude but, after that 2 minutes of initial terror, you'll wonder why you ever packed clothes in the first place.  :-)
 
Would We Ever Go Back?:
 
The very second that we can find someone to watch our son for a week we will be on a plane to Jamaica!!  Count on it!  I am now spoiled for any other vacation.  I think anything would pale in comparison to a Hedo vacation.
 
As PeeWee would say in his little high-pitched sing-song voice, "It's all incluuuuuuuuusive"
