Wild Bunch Members
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 15 thru May 21
We arrived and it would seem that we already had a reputation.
Several staff members met us at the bus. We were told that many
of our gang The Wild Bunch had already arrived and had already made
a true known presence. We were wisked into the back office and greated
by the General Manager (Mr Levee) and several others.
Then we were told our 24+couple group would be assigned a staff member for the
week. It was Michelle Davis. Michelle told us she would be with us for the whole
week and anything we needed to just tell her. She was true to her word! She took
us to eat as our plane was delayed and the buffet was closed and we were
starved.
We ate at the Scotch Bonnet restaurant. We were then given a tour of the
property and introduced to many other Wild Bunch members we had yet to meet.
Dont know when she ever slept. Michelle was there near us all week long
and she didnt even live on the property!
Check in:
You will find the front desk folks at Hedo III to be better accessable
than at Hedo II. If you need something at Hedo III the front desk can
really find you some help! If they cant help they will find someone that
can!
The Rooms:
Michelle then told us she had upgraded every member of our gang to the all
natural building 600 so we could all be together. Totally Awesome! Building
600 is the place. We filled it and a few ended up in 700 which was really
nice too for those.
The rooms are exquisite. REAL furniture, not the kind that requires fastening
to the wall for support. Mirrors on the ceiling in the bedroom area and the
bathroom both. The jacuzzi tub was great too. Our room was on the ground
floor right in front of the Nude pool, just steps away. You couldnt
ask for a better room. The layout of these rooms is perfect. On the ground
level we had fron and rear doors. Of which we never locked or even closed
the poolside door as all our bunch were runing in a lot and many that had
farther away rooms left their things in out room.
The tile work in these rooms are fantastic. Some of
the most beautiful you will ever see. I had heard that the light switch
for the bathrooms was in the wrong place. But If you think about it you
want to turn it on BEFORE you go into the bathroom so it is on the outside.
Good carpentry skills probably dont come easy in Jamaica so I can understand
why they put it in a place not requiring tile cutting. We especially enjoyed
the TV. Playboy channel and even 2 channels that were 1 for a constant view
of the buffet restaurant panning the main pool, bar, and Main stage,
and the other panning the disco at all times. Was great for finding out
what was going on all the time. Even had a VCR Built in but we didnt bring
anything to watch. Probably wouldnt have had time. But Im sure some might
like to remember this. The CD players were a great touch too bring your
own music!
The Hot tubs:
We found that the hottub at the nude pool smaller than II but more than
adequate. When we were at Hedo II we found that at night it was mostly
empty.
But at Hedo III it was full most all night long. We found couples there till
daylight. About the only time it was ever totally empty was during the big
nightly events, which I will tell you more about later.
The clear bottom hottub didnt seem to get much use. and when it did was
only for a few minutes or so. The hottub at the main pool never had anyone
in it that we ever saw. It would seem that the hot was too hot much of the
time but 1 complaint to the bartender and it was adjusted in minutes. Even
at 4 am.
Water Slide:
Open 10 am to 5pm then 10pm to 5 am. We hit is most days screaming and
hollering at high noon. NAKED! Drew lots of attention and many
photographers.
They told us not to do this but we did it anyway! <grin>. This slide
goes so darned fast you hardly know you went in. But you get a heck of
a rush. This is a must do!
Sex:
We all have sightings of sex about, and were even guilty ourselves. It would
seem the sex police were there but ignores these events. We saw it on the
nude beach pier almost daily. Under the waterfall at night. And on the
fountain table in the nude pool many times. In the loungers very often.
Across the ropes on the pier was
popular by one couple. Of course the Nude Hottub always had it happening.
The Beach:
Both the nude beach and the prude beach are man made so dont expect much.
But it is super nice and well done. Hedo III is built, I suppose on Rocks
and
the water is really rough compared to H II. But personally I liked that.
Body shots:
Right on top of the bar at the nude pool almost everynight. A Body shot
is where one gets doused with Liquor and gets it licked off by another.
The bartenders were always helpful in getting this going. Fun to watch
but more fun to participate in. We even say this happen a few times
at the main bar!
Pools:
All had activity most of the time. All have a swim up bar. But most action
was at the nude pool. Even smaller in size more fun was there. The main pool
have only a few people in it at a time. But even along side you could
find topless sunbathers and if you watch long enough you would always see
someone loose their clothes there too. At the quad pool, nothing much ever
happend. Mostly people just floating around. I recall at Hedo II several
pool guys always around but their pools hinged on turning green most of the
time. The pools at Hedo III are a crystal clear all the time, and you seldom
ever saw maintenance.
Music:
The speakers are All over the grounds everywhere. Except the nude pool. We
thought they sould be there too. Maybe even with a volume control at the
nude bar if it needs to be turned off.
The Cruise:
The Cool Jaz was charted By Hedo III as their compliment to us. This was
great.
Michelle Davis accompanied us too. We had food and booze, went snorkeling
Danced, played games and had a wild and crazy time! We could not have
been more pleased!
Bars:
Well at least you can always get a drink. When we were at H II we couldnt
get a drink after about 11pm. They did have beer and daquari machines around.
But at HIII the Nude Bar was open till 5 am. And even then if you wanted
something
after that all we had to do was go to the front desk and they sent it all out
to us. We had ladies asking for 5am champaigne.!!! The drinks also come much
faster at Hedo III. Looks as if the bars are bigger and are better staffed.
Always a place to sit too! We had no troube ever getting a drink at Hedo
III. They even had waitresses bringing them to you along the pool. When the
bartender had time he would even come out and wait on you! Watch for Andre
too he puts on a good show while making a drink.
Disco:
We always had a good time, Music a bit loud for me though. But still fun.
The solution would be to sit out on the disco balcony!
I think its too small though. Maybe would be better if the diso was
on the ground level rather than up stairs.
The See thru water slide runs thru the disco but they go thru so fast you never
see much more than a blur. Get on the disco balcony and you can see people going
up to slide and and look over the rail and see them hit the water below.
Pj night:
Our gang was joined By Crazy Shawn, Michelle Davis and Haixara Owen among
others. Their presence just made it that much more enjoyable. They were all
dress in
Jammy attire along with us. They danced a few with us before moveing on
about their official business. All of our Gang were recoginized in one way or
another as we kinda stood out being so crazy. Several of our gang again won
prizes.
Cant remember who all got what. I do remember my wife got 2nd place virgin.
We all had a blast.
Masquarade night:
Our 24+ couple group decided on a group theme as jungle attire, and all I
can say is grooowl. The gals looked fantastic. Heck even I won a bottle of
booze this night , but again I forgot what I did. Some others of us were in
there too for prizes. Again we shook the disco up.
Toga Night:
We again raided all the prizes. Our own Wolf took most of them. Seems he
dressed in a consertive Toga and flashed everyone with a Crotch of Grapes
Guess that did it for the judges. But only he could play it out like he did.
Again members of our group took most of the prizes, individual, most Roman
and couples togas. Of course you look around and our staff escorts had their
eye on us all the time <G>. But that didnt stop the fun.
Food & Restaurants:
Our group hit the itialian restaurant one night. It was great and really
nice but I think we may have been a bit too flambouyant for this. I would
recommend smaller groups for that nice evening at the italian dinner <G>.
Gotta admit, food was great. I do think Hedo II had great food, but
superior is the best way to describe them both. Hedo II has a bigger buffet
and may even have better service but Kirk MADE sure we had a table large
enough for all of us. Hedo II has a bigger buffet room but could not have
set us up all at one table this large. So all in all Ill give Kirk an A++. I
remember the way Hedo 2's Buffet restaurant was laid out many times you could
not
even see the stage. Not so at Hedo III. If you like Jerk It is hotter and
wangier at the Scotch Bonnet than it is anywhere at Hedo II. The nude snack
bar was always there too for great food.
Entertainment:
On its way at Hedo III. I think it will all get better. We were well enter-
tained all the time, But I do not believe the Entertainment staff was not as
visible all the time as at II. This could be because we all made our own
fun and those entertainers kept more to the other guests so I wont be
critical.
We did not get shorted! But Crazy Shawn always went down our
table and greated every member of our gang every time he saw us. Many of
the others were great too. Lacy and many others. The shows they all put
on were fantastic, but not as many shows as at II. The Mod Squad show
was made great by the guys actually doing it! The poolside games were super
and kept us going. Teddy Bear was also a big hit with our group. The hedo
bucks were more free flowing. We tried to keep up with it but lost track,
Our gang had several hedo millionaires. Wolf at 2.1 million, Earl at 1.6
Million And I forgot who all else went over a million but I think most of
the group did!
Fun:
We had so much fun I screamed and hollered the 1st day, so I spent the next
2 days getting my voice back. Only to loose it again. No Problem I wound
up with a whistle! (Everyone hated me all week) <just kidding>. The people
at Hedo II are kidding them selves if they think they have it overall than
at III. If you want to stay to yourself or with the people you came with
Got to Hedo II. If you want to be included in everything got to III. Our
gang got bigger as the week went on and we made some new and great friends.
I think that at Hedo III they are looking for people to have fun and let go
as compared to Hedo II where they may have it set in stone how they want
everything to run.
Security:
Near perfect. I recall at Hedo II getting in trouble everything I went
into a nude area, with shorts on. But at Hedo III the security will wait
just long enough to see if you are a gawker or going to stay around awhile
and they would talk to you accordingly. All to say if you wanted to stop
at the nude area to say hi to someone while fully clothed no problem! I
guess I would say good use of common sense was well used! I also saw
security personal in some wierd places, you could always see one from
most anywhere you were day or night. You dont have to think they are near
you can see them.
Staff Members we want to recognize:
Mr Levee the GM, Steve the PR Manager, Crazy Shawn, Michelle Davis, Van,
Kirk the restaurant supervisor, Andre the bartender, and My personal
favorite the cuban babe named Xaixara. (Tried to get her to run away with me
to Jamaica but it didnt work like it does on US girls)
We could go on and on. But I would rate this resort 1 Star better than any
resort I have ever been to. The Tops. The people there made it better.
The staff Absoutely fantastic. Nothing can top this!
