Phildo - 10/01

This is Phildo I am glad to say that I finally made the trip to Hedo II. I have been to Jamaica on several occasions and to many super clubs and other various resorts. My wife and myself are both naturalists and have enjoyed the hospitality of Jamaica and what it offers. I traveled this particular time with my brother Roger, and three other friends John,Tim, and Paul. None of our wives were able to attend.

We like most had a very long trip from Boston Ma. to Montego. I was expecting the worse considering the recent aircraft mishaps. To be honest I felt very safe and it was not that much of a inconvenience.

We arrived safely. Not to my desire we took the bus trip to the resort, because two of our party this was a first trip. I enjoy the local sights of the island. I will state never again will I go to Negril on a bus until the roads are completed. The trip to the other side of the island is long but not all gravel roads.

The first impression of Hedo II is not what I expected. I really expected more after visiting other super clubs. I will say they were very quick for check in and out. I also like the check in for you're flight at the hotel the day you leave.

Our room on the prude side was nice clean, but well used. The water in the bathroom was tolerable, the phones were a stupid setup. You need to activate the Phone in the room at the front desk with a deposit and it cost like $2. every time it was used plus the long distance charge. My at&t phone card did not work either. Recommend setting up for cell service before you go to the island.

There was a considerable amount of construction being done. I could not believe how fast they were going at it for Jamaicans. This did not bother me for the most part cause the majority of the time I would be at the other end of the beach. Though it was annoying in the early morning 7:30 am. listening to a jack-hammer.

My last complaint on the resort was the food at the buffet was poor. The midnight snack was not food it was leftovers "Yuck". Thankfully Bob's grill was excellent food and plenty of good vibes.

I am overly impressed on the nude beach set up and how it was run. I am equally impressed at the staff tolerance and willingness to have guests participate in games and events. I could list all of them but it is much easier to say they all were doing their job plus, others were outstanding.

Now for what I wanted to post! The people (guests) I will give Hedo II a "10" for the best all around open good people. I have never been so welcomed to any other resort. I want to say thank you to all too many people. Yes we had a few idiots we nicknamed besides Vinnie and Wally. There was...

Richard Cranium =The immature man who has been there an hour and has not been laid yet and now whimpers out loud the place sucks.

Amanda Hugnkiss = She is the lady who is desperate and no to her only means try harder, or wait till he is drunk and she tries again.

For the most part the majority were awesome. I think often of the good moments shared together. I am excited to bring my wife and be back in march.

Our flight home was a nightmare two of Delta's Jamaica air planes broke then waited for another. Well it was an extension of our time in Jamaica by 6hrs.
