Just on the plane ride home from Jamaica and thought we’d add our two cents in while it was fresh in our minds. First off thanks to Denny for hosting this page as it provided us with some great tips prior to traveling to the Resort.
Wanted to get away, into the “lifestyle”, thought
this place might be too crazy be you only live once.
Airplanes always suck, no offense to USAir, just a fact
of life. Customs, “no problem.”
Don’t bother changing any currency over, you won’t need it – you’ll
pay for everything with US Currency. The
90 minute bus ride to the resort cool at first until we got motion sickness,
crazy Jamaican drivers. Check in
at the hotel “no problem”.
Awesome, clean, new fresh, rooms were great, mirrors were
a terrific addition to the experiences. Super
Inclusive means Super Inclusive except for a few items like scuba or massage.
Food was ok, but eating wasn’t our main focus.
Drinks were flowing morning, noon and night, staff, while a little slow
to act on some things (“relax mon, you’re on Jamaican time”), was eager
to help and please. Water skiing
was cool, Hobie Cat was better, pools and hot tubes great with the exception
of some temperature issues.
When you first get there, scope out the dinner
reservation, trip into Ochoa Rios (including the Falls) scuba diving, etc that
you might want to do. Set
yourself up early for these things because otherwise you won’t get to do
them. There are two restaurants
that require reservations, and both are worth the effort of a “schedule”
for dinner.
Even if you aren’t in the “Lifestyle”, don’t
waste your time on the prude side of the resort.
The nude side is the only way to go.
For us, and we’re in the lifestyle, there was a certain hesitancy,
but once we took our clothes off and got into the nude pool, the
self-conscious inhibitions began to fade and we had a blast.
So just do it – remember that everyone is naked there! If you want to fulfill some fantasies, this is definitely the
place to do it! There are
activities pretty much daily at the nude pool/bar and hot tub, but for those
who are only there to watch – no-one will bother you.
“No” truly does mean “no” and is respected. So don’t worry about the uninvited activities.
Each day is different, but you can pretty much count on
volleyball all afternoon, drinking all day and night, and a lot of hot tub
partying at night. But do get out
of the pool to go to dinner, go to the shows, meet other people, stop at the
piano bar, and then go back to the hot tub.
Yes, drugs are pretty available if you’re into that,
though not at all prevalent.
No Rock ‘n Roll – better like Reggae.
No need to exchange money, USD is widely accepted.
You’ll need singles for tipping to get to/from the resort and if you
leave the resort for sightseeing. The
average wage there is 70 cents per hour so don’t feel obligated to give more
than a few bucks.
If you’re in the lifestyle, whether a “tried and true”
couple or a “just exploring” couple, you WILL be able to hook up with a
like-couple and have some fun. Also
some singles there ready to hook up for some interesting three-some activity.
It’s a good place to go for the flavor of the whole
thing, but if you start to feel comfortable, don’t miss out on the
opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
You don’t get a lot of second chances at such free-flowing fun as you
get at Hedo.
Not a lot. You
don’t need special clothes for dinner outside of something comfortable and a
pair of shoes. You don’t need
different clothes each day, because you’ll hardly wear them.
You don’t need bathrobes or pretty night ware because by the time you
actually fall into bed you’ll just stay naked.
Bring a bathing suit or two for the Hobie Cat, snorkeling, or morning
tanning in you want to stay on the prude side.
Bring sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses (a few) thermal drink koozies
(to make for less trips to the bar), Tums, Motrin, Alka Seltzer, Aloe Vera,
One beach bag for any boating or day trips, two cameras (one for pictures you
can develop at CVS, one you’ll have to send away), sandals, and lots of
singles for tipping at the airport and on day trips.
Yes, you can pack your sex toys because customs does not go through
your luggage. Try to remember
everything, can’t walk off the facility to a store and the gift shop is
pricey
Get to know people right away – it’ll make your whole
trip better. Thanks to all our
new friends from West Palm, Chicago, NYC and Ohio.
Do try the body shots and hitting the water slide nude
day and night!!
Remember, don’t be shy, this is a chance to have a
wonderful time with no reason for inhibitions.
Hope you have a blast, and be sure to let us know what
you thought.
