I went to Hedo II from December 16-23.
I want to preface everything that I am about to write with the statement that I will definitely be returning next year to Hedo.
I travelled to Hedo as a single male with another male friend, so my experiences were based completely on that. We flew into MoBay on Sunday and took the bus since it is recommended that you do this at least once. Well, once was enough since we all know what the roads are like. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it would have been nice if the driver actually did stop for a Red Stripe on the way so we could empty out. Holding it in for the last 80 kilometers on those bumpy roads is tough.
As a first timer the sight of the enterance was almost a religous experience. I had hardly finished the paperwork at the desk before the delays began. My room wasn't ready (2PM), and when it finally was ready it was infested with ants. The toilet didn't flush either and it was so far away from just about anyone it was amazing. The resort was almost entirely empty with maybe 20 rooms occupied on the nude side and almost nobody on the prude side (I assume since I never ventured to the prude side to confirm this). The dining room was empty as well all the time.
The activities coordinators did the best they could with this small a crowd, but they were clearly unable to get the prudes interested, and we nudes didn't need them to make our visit a blast. The music was OK.
Now for my real negatives before my positives:
1. It was my birthday and my friend was not able to get me a cake. They said they were unable to do it. 2. We wanted a burger at 1:30 AM and they refused 3. The food in the dining room was far worse than I had feared 4. The rooms were in terrible shape 5. COnstruction was nonstop
All that said, I will be returning next year.
Now for the good news. First and foremost, the Japanese Hibachi grills are open and they ROCK. Get the shrimp since it is beyond words. Pastafari was as expected, a wonderful meal. The pool and grounds were all clean and well groomed. Delroy poured wonderful drinks and Robert's jerk chicken was a highlight of the trip.
Now beyond the food and normal stuff. Neal, Iceman here says HI! I still need rolling lessons but there is always next year. Mr and Mrs Hedo Slut, I will miss you always. I let your friends here in Boston know all about the show at Delroys. You know what I mean. Lionel and Lena, the landshark/body paint party with the bouncing on the bed was quite a laugh. Sure Rich needed to sleep that night on alcohol-soaked, body paint smeared sheets but it was all good. Tom, the pipe (named Nightcap) is in good hands. I passed it on with the due honor it required. I also met the fourth generation owners and they are even more wild than any of the first three owners. Oh yeah, hi Tanya. Olga and Chris, keep warm up there in the frozen North.... Iggy, you have the most awesome tan I have ever seen. Someday you will give me tanning lessons. I must be missing a ton of people, and I apologize for that. I haven't forgotten any of you nor will I forget.
This is why I am returning. I met the most real people I have ever encountered.
Mr Hashy, we will be friends forever.
I hope my wedding gift to the groom was appreciated. You seemed to like it.....
Party on!
