Jeff & Candy

This was our first trip to Hedonism II. Candy and I were excited to leave the house. The flight over on Air Jamaica was great. We did not have any problems. We arrived at Mo Bay and the heat was not as bad as we anticipated. After going through customs which was very quick and painless, we walked over to the superclubs desk. I had informed them that we had reservations with Air link and they called a representative for us. After a very short and crazy bus trip to the other side of the airport, (the driver did not know how to drive stick shift, so he stalled every 10 feet.) We exited at the terminal where all of the hopper flights are, and I already had to tip 4 people. Bring a lot of singles because everyone expects a tip. We had heard some horror stories about the bus trip so we decided to take the hopper flight. This was the best decision of the entire trip. It was well worth the $230.00. The flight was only 15 minutes and we arrived in Negril. Another 2 minute taxi ride which cost $5.00 and we were at Hedo.

We heard some stories about this however ours was very quick and the porter gave us a nice tour. Our room was older but clean and cool. The air conditioner worked and that was most important. After organizing the room we decided to walk around and tour the place. The grounds are very rustic but pretty. The new prude pool and slide were very nice and the gym was among the best that I have seen. The main dinning hall was open and airy and the prude beach was nice and the water is beautiful.

The buffet dining hall was ok. (Mind you I am a food critic) The food was edible for the most part and breakfast was the best food of the day. Pastafari's was good and they had the best desserts. The waiter really tried hard to make it a formal dining experience. The Japanese place (munhanas) was very good, we ate there twice. The Jamaican chefs were funny and we had a good time. The Scotch Bonnet restaurant was good, the atmosphere was very romantic. The midnight snacks were a much needed time of the night/ morning. Robert's grill had the best jerk chicken and cheese burgers. Robert was very nice and a pleasure to talk with.

Most of the activities that our brochure listed either were closed or there was a fee when the brochure said that it was all included. We were disappointed in the activities. We did play volley ball everyday and we snorkeled. The theme nights like Toga and Pajama night were very short. We looked forward to Toga night and it only lasted 30 minutes and everyone changed. The entertainment staff did a good job and they were mostly nice with the exception of a few. Veronicas piano bar was fun.

In addition to what I already said above, We did have some very bad experiences that basically ruined our trip. Our second day, we decided to stay on the nude side of the beach. It was not hard to shed the clothes and become nude. We laid out and swam and it was very relaxing. We did see one PDA right on the beach involving two swingers, No big deal. The second day, We decided to stay on the prude side of the beach because that was where the younger crowd was at. We met up two other couples, Mike and Angie and Steve and Paige. ( Thanks for the warm welcome) We all decided to go over to the nude side and wait for Robert's jerk chicken. It was raining like it did every afternoon and everyone was huddled up under the bar overhang. We were waiting for about 15 minutes and all we wanted was to get our food and leave. Candy had a thong on and I had my bathing suit. We did not intend to get naked however, a few of the nudist began to complain because we had our clothes on. The female security guard came over and asked us to disrobe. I explained that we did not intend on staying and she insisted. I said no and the guard grabbed Candy's bathing suit top and she untied it. I warned the guard to stop and she did. The "pool boy" advised candy to atleast take her top off and we both said no. The pool boy asked why and I stated that we would get naked when we were ready to. He told me that we would have to leave. I said no, I asked him to have management come down and tell me that I have to leave. After an argument, the pool boy stopped. This is a clothing optional beach not nude beach, or at least we were under the impression entire nudity was not a requirement to be a guest and feel welcomed. We felt like they tried to force us and we refused for shear principal. The "crew" that complained was very loud and immature. During Toga night we were asked to get up on stage for the best togo contest and the nude crew booed us (how mature is that, I guess the did not see us naked the whole day prior.)

The third day, Candy and I met a very nice couple Mark and Connie. Candy and I were very bitter about the nude side because the day before events. We decided to stay on the prude side because it was couples our age (twenties and thirties) and they were nicer. Mark, Connie, Candy and I decided to walk to Robert's again. At this time of day Robert's is the only place to get the best Jerk Chicken. We all had our suits on. While walking on the beach the same nude crew yelled out that it was a nude beach. We ignored them and retrieved our food. On the way back, Candy said hello to a gentlemen she asked him how he was doing just being polite. The guy said that there was too many people (meaning us) with clothes on. I smartly replied that there was too many DICKS walking around and that caused a heated argument between us four and about twenty of the nudist. We decided to walk away before things got out of hand.
