Hedo III April 22 - 29, Shawn and wife Tammy.
Ok, so better late then never. My report bounces around, as I remember things in pieces.
Flew out of Knoxville the morning of Sat. April 22 to Atlanta. We figured we had plenty of time when we arrived in Atlanta so I told the Delta check in guy that we would check our bags in Atlanta, to make sure they made it to Jamaica Air, bad mistake, our flight was delayed 1 1/2 hours in Knoxville. We landed in Atlanta, ran through the airport grabbed our luggage, ran to Jamaica Air as they were closing the doors. The clerk looks at us and says, "You're late", no shit lady, now move out of the way so we can get on the plane.
Landed in Jamaica. The airport was rather confusing. We were told to stand by a desk that says "Superclubs". Everyone else is getting on busses, we are asked if we need smoke, then directed to what looked like a taxi. I was confused because for all I knew the car could have been some criminal, inviting me and my wife to go with them where they could rob us and take our belongings. (Guess I was expecting to get on a Superclub bus, or something) Anyway, fortunately, the car turned out to be a taxi who took us to H-III.
Check in was rather confusing. We were told our room was not ready yet and we should wait at the bar or restaurant, cool with us. Waited only about 20 mins. We paid extra $ to get an ocean front room (not ocean view). Our room was very nice in the 700 building, overlooking the pool bar, but it was on the third floor. When I questioned at the front desk, I was told that the resort was very full (no way) and that ocean front is the same as ocean view. A manager at the desk told me that when a ground floor, ocean front room was open, that they would call me so I could move. This was on Saturday and I soon forgot all about it until about Tuesday when I talked to 2 different couples at the nude pool, who only checked in that day, Tuesday. When these two couples were directed to a third floor room, they complained and demanded a ground floor room, and were promptly moved. I guess it worked in my favor because I pitched a bitch at the resort manager (I had paid extra for a ground floor ocean front room remember?), he not only put us on the ground floor, but it was a corner suite with a fridge filled with beer and Cokes, sofa, and a nice walk out to the nude pool.
1) Met lots of wonderful people at the nude pool. We are experienced nudists and we always meet friendly people in the nude. This contrasts completely with the people on the prude side. Must be because if you are comfortable being nude, I think, you probably have an outgoing personality. If you are prude, well, you are prude.
2) Had great fun with Debbie and Mike, and John and Patty. We have since hooked up both on the internet and by phone. We hope to meet at Hedo again in the near future.
3) The six of us (see #2) took a cat cruise one afternoon. We were told the water was very rough but we were going anyway. Cost us $45 or so per person. It was sold as a nude booze cruise. There were about 14 total on the boat. The six of us sat up front while 8 others sat at the rear of the boat. Nude cruise, so off go the girls tops, and the guys shorts to enjoy the sun. The others at the back of the boat were surprised, one took pictures of us. So, the water is so rough, the boat is rather small, and the waves are crushing us in the face at the front of the boat. We could have walked to the back of the small boat, but the girls in back were astonished enough.
About 10 minutes into the boat ride, I (Shawn) began to feel ill as the boat was crashing up and down very violently. The boat sailed around for about another hour before stopping at a cove for a swim. Everyone else jumped in the water for some snorkeling, I wanted to die. John was telling the people to stay away from my end of the boat as I was ready to hurl. I did not hurl, the boat took us back to H-III, I took 3 Alka Seltzers and was fine. I can't believe we wasted $ on that ride, never again.
4) The girl-girl activity was cool. I thought it was rather unique the way men think. There could be an all out orgy at the hot tub, spilling over to the pool, bodyshots on the pool bar, boobs, butts, oral, doggie, you name it. So the next morning what do the guys talk about, what do they make a point of telling me about at breakfast, what do you think? "Shawn, you should have been in the piano bar last night, two girls were going at it on the piano!!!" of course, I was pissed that I had missed it.
5) The camera in the Disco was neat but it kept people from going in. We sat in our room on a few nights, watched the disco on TV, and did not go to the disco because it was empty. If there was no TV, then we would go just to see if anyone else was there, get it?
6) The entertainment staff members were the best we have had on any vacation. We have been on 5 cruises, many islands, many resorts, but the Hedo III staff were by far the best. Probably the sexual nature of the games played made it so great. Like the wet t-shirt contest that involved not just wet t-shirt competition, but also dancing, banana sucking, and the girls having to lick chocolate off of audience members. Girls licking on guys was ok, but again all the guys talked about the girl who licked chocolate off of another girl, then planted a big wet chocolate tongue kiss on the unsuspecting female lickee. Not bad...
7) Tammy is a 5' 4" 110 lb blonde and she is a real looker, (Keeps me interested after 17 years and 2 kids, anyway.) She gets hit on at the gas station for crying out loud!!! "You have boyfriend?" But in the seven days we were at Hedo III, she was never hit on by anyone. I tell her no one hit on her because she was with King Kong, even so, we did not see or hear of any obnoxious or rude behavior in any way.
7.1) Saw a pretty good fight. Apparently, two dentist friends were hitting on the same girl one night at the main bar and one was going to be the loser. A fight broke out and when a third guy tried to brake it up, he was slashed on the forearm by a broken bottle. I don't know what happened to the dentists, but the slashee moved to the Grand Lido Negril. Someone told me that, after the fight, the slashee was approached by 2 different attorneys. I wonder is he will get free dental work from now on?
8) John and Patty were going to H-2 for their final 3 days of vacation and we tried desperately to join them. Sorry, H-2 was sold out while H-3 was half full if that. That was when I complained to the manager and was moved to a ground floor suite.
9) The atmosphere was pretty quiet from Saturday until Wednesday, many people were quietly complaining that things were rather boring and not what they had anticipated. On Thursday, Tammy and I woke the place up. Tristen, the Naughty Nurse and Romeo started a pool party at about 1 p.m. on Thursday. Tammy and I had already had too many rum drinks and joined in. The fun started when four couples were asked to join in some fun and Tammy and I volunteered. Tristen blindfolded the girls and they had to pick their mate by touching the ass of the men who were lined up with a girl in the middle. Naturally, Tammy touches a guys butt, can't tell, so she proceeds to give him a reach around which Tristen promptly averted before Tammy could squeeze his bits and pieces.
The party got going when they did the chocolate syrup and frozen drink lick it off your partner thing. The rule was no gobbleing, but Tammy cheated. The game soon ended and it was as if our behavior was what everyone was waiting for. There were about 30 couples in the hot tub shortly thereafter, and they were 3 and 4 deep. I, unfortunately had to tend to my wife who was now hurling in the toilet, (not from me, from too much to drink) and it was only 3 or 4 p.m. The hot tub was packed like this until 5 a.m. or so.
Having missed all the fun on Thursday evening, on Friday several couples thanked us for getting the party going, apparently they just needed a spark. I explained to one woman that I did not come back out to the hot tub by myself because I felt uncomfortable being by myself around 30 or so naked couples who were enjoying each other (I'm not a voyeur, I'm a nudist, remember?). My wife was comfortable with this answer and had previously encouraged me to go by myself (she was sick all evening). Anyway, the woman said I should have came out and got into the hot tub and I could have easily joined in.....(Note to self for next time: if wife passes out and there is an orgy in the hot tub....go to the hot tub.)
10) A few drunken prudes came over to the nude pool one afternoon. Took a few pictures, laughed it up. One guy even got into the nude pool, complete with shorts, t-shirt, sandles and hat, sat at the pool bar and had a drink. After 5 or so of us complained to the front desk, us guys wanted to settle matters locally but the girls chose the diplomatic method, about an hour later someone came over and told them to stop taking pictures. Now how would the resort feel if we proceeded to walk to the prude side in the nude and sit at the front bar? Guess that was a negative
11) Enough said. The slide was fun in the nude, shocked some lady when she saw us walking up the stairs in the nude. The hot tub was too hot one night, so we raided the glass tub by the Disco. We were all nude. Shocked a few people.
12) Had the vacation of our lives. No question where we will go again. Probably later this year or next spring. We do, however want to check out Hedo 2, so we will most likely split things up next time.
