Arrival: We had a long bus rider from the airport, but the stop for icy cold Red Stripes welcomed us into Jamaica. When we got to the resort we were greeted and shown to our room within 15 minutes. We got room 417 in the quad area, a good place I think for first timers like us close enough to the nude side but right in front of the quad pool if we chickened out (Hah! Fat chance on that one!!). We got changed and headed down to the prude beach for the first and only time to catch some sun and a nap.
Rooms: Very nice and clean, the air conditioner was going full blast, CD player, lots of room to move around. The mirrors on the ceiling were fun, but ours was a bit like a fun house mirror, we must have been the only ones to have this problem!! No problem Mon!! Good for some laughs! There were lots of windows to open to catch a late night breeze.
Prude Side: I don’t have a lot to say on the pool and the beach because outside of the first few hours and to eat we were never there! There were lots of gawkers however when we stormed the water slide over there daily, it was like they didn’t expect to see any nude people! You have to try the water slide naked, you just really can’t do that in the water parks where we live! All I can say for those who spent their entire vacation on the prude side is that they really missed out!
Nude Side: It wasn’t as small as we thought it would be, very clean and well maintained. The hot tub was adequate so was the pool, it’s not like we were swimming laps or anything! The people over there are some of the most genuine that we have ever met. Being Hedo virgins, we were a little nervous at first, but after 10 minutes we felt like this was the only way to live, and that clothes were obsolete! The grill on the nude side also makes the best cheeseburger if you get a little homesick for American food.
Nude Beach: Yes it’s small and the guy next door will try and sell you stuff but it’s a great place to find a little privacy at night…Our first day we were on the beach and felt like we were missing out so we migrated to the pool, which turned out to be a better idea because later in the week a group of 19 year old guys came in to gawk and that’s where they hung out.
Food: The food was great all around, very varied no matter where we ate. Make reservations early for the Japanese and Italian restaurants, they are a nice intimate setting if you get tired of buffet. Midnight Buffet and the nachos at the nude bar saved us many nights and gave us our second wind!
Activities: Next time we’ll do more—we were a little nervous to participate at first and now we regret it, but here is what we did do:
Toga Night: Really fun to make your clothes out of sheets! The conga line thru the dining was room was really fun too!
Body Painting: Romeo is truly an amazing artist; he painted me a top that I wore to dinner and later to the Masquerade party.
Battle of the Sexes: Just to see my husband make a bed was good enough—then there was the race thru 10 peoples legs to suck a beer down with a cocktail straw.
Staff and Guests: The Staff was OUTSTANDING! These guys really work their butts off and still take time out to make you feel like you are their long lost friend. We have truly never seen a staff like this in all of our all-inclusive vacations we have ever been on! The people staying at Hedo were incredible too. We really made some great friends down there. The best part is when you’re naked, jobs, money, age, etc. don’t matter, you are all there to have a good time, something rarely found at home.
All in all, we are addicted to Hedo and we can’t wait to go back. We have never been on a more relaxing or fun vacation. All our worries were left at the airport-- no problem mon! Hedo is really what you make it out to be, and the only way you couldn’t have a good time is not to try things you haven’t tried before! 11 months until we go back, or maybe sooner?!J
