5th trip report for our 5th trip to
Hedo II.
Travel: Travel was normal. No problems getting to the resort or
getting a good room in the H block. Road to Negril had a few issues but
nothing to cause a problem.
Service: Service was good overall. The maids do a good job of
cleaning the room and the wait staff serviced us with a smile. Bartending
was great as normal.
EC's: Ec's were there but seemed to lack some typical energy (good for
the ears anyway). Mostly just saw them at dinner time with the different
shows.
Amities: Gym was clean, pools looked great, hot tub was fine.
We did have a few of us that wanted to shoot hoops and it was hard to find a
ball that worked. Once we did find a ball (took 20 mins) we had to have it
inflated to shoot, then it'd die within 30 mins from an apparent slow leak.
You'd hope for better equpiment, but oh well.
Wake up calls: This is one problem. We didn't have an alarm clock in
our room so we'd call in for wake up calls but the first 3 never came at all.
On our last day I pleaded with the operator to really really make sure they'd do
it so we wouldn't miss our plane. Not sure what the problem was.
Room: When we first got there our room AC leaked and the toilet was
dripping water everywhere. We called for maintenance and they did fix the
leak but didn't do anything about the AC. Our room had a ton of water
mixed with feet stains from the problem and the maintenance man said he'd called
for housekeeping which never came to clean it up. Our iron leaked
water too so we just used it dry on a board that wouldn't stand up on it's legs
so you'd have to do it on the ground. Housekeeping said they'd replace it
but they never did.
Needless to say our room could have been a touch better.
Security: They had to escort out a few guys from the disco who were
too aggressive, but they did take care of it well. Also some guest was
breaking into a number of rooms and stealing items, they figured it out in a few
days and got the guy thankfully. Our room was safe, maybe he was afraid of
slipping in the water. :-D
Music: The music was awesome this trip espially at Delroy's. Everyone
has their own tastes and this year the music was better for us. If I'd heard
"stroking" or "candylicker" one more time I'd swim to Cuba.
Overall: We love the resort and don't get worked up about little
issues. But sometimes you wish they'd at least do what they'd say. I
don't mind a few issues so long as they attend to them. I repeat, we're
easy going people so I didn't let it bother our trip.
------------------------------
We did go off resort to enjoy a half day trip to Mayfield Falls with our friends
Eric and Ruth. It was an awesome time in the river and a nice break from the
resort. The two river guides were super cool and made the experience better.
We didn't play as much v'ball as we might have expected, but we danced a lot at
the disco. Only went to Veronica's once during the trip just for one drink. We
drank too much during the week but oh well, it was fun.
We may try another resort in the future for a change of pace and perhaps better
amienities. Our group has spoken about this and if we're all at a new club
we'll make our own party.
Thank you,
