John & V - 02/00

Well, we're back and cried all the way home. All the negative reports, FALSE! Hedo III, BEST vacation we ever had. We left Chicago the 16th and arrived on the island around 10:30a.m. greeted by a driver from the hotel, once finished with customs. He let us know it was an hour and twenty minuets to the hotel from the airport and suggested a few Red Stripes for the ride would be a good thing, we agreed. The ride was great the driver told us a lot about the places on the way and even made a quick pit stop for everyone about 1/2 way, those Red Stripes traveled faster. Upon arriving at the front desk we had our keys and were in our room in no more than 20 minuets. WOW! The rooms are GREAT, we were fortunate enough to be on the ground floor next to the pool, nude side of course. We were necked and eating the famous burger and fries in no time at all. The place is absolutely beautiful, clean and the most friendly people I have ever met in my life, but then again we're from Chicago. I read the trip is what you make it, well we made it great! We met so many wonderful people. Ron & Joanne from NH. played guitar for everyone at the hot tub late evenings or I should say early mornings, we all sang and it really brought everyone closer. We invited people to sit with us, when we saw the new people come in, we help them by telling them what we learned from the folks who helped us when we got there. And that's it! The food was fantastic everywhere in the hotel. Check out the Japanese & Italian place at least once, Fantastic! The guys in the dive shack eager to please also. They will take you sailing, diving, windsurfing whatever you want. The disco was a blast! The different activities PJ night, Toga, and 70s night were our favorite and there is more. Well, I could go on and on, like I said it was PARADISE for us but I feel its my Jamaican duty mon to answer any and all questions anyone has. E-mail me and I'll get back to you ASAP. Hedo three is the best, we loved it. We like to send a special thanks to the staff who was top flight and the hot tub crew there the 16th-23rd, you know who you are and we miss you! We will be back, count on it.
