Well, we started this trip as our honeymoon (30 Apr - 7 May 04), two years removed. Situations had prevented us from taking our honeymoon two years ago. After staying at Breezes, at Runaway Bay, Sept 01, and visiting Hedo III for Toga night, we thought it might be more fun at Hedo II.
We traveled via US Airways, no thrills there...Arrival at Montego Bay and a quick customs check in and easy walk to the Super Clubs Counter. I'd left my confirmation voucher and airlines itinerary, etc. on the airlines counter in the states...so I was sweating it. No problem, mon....our names and reservations were on the list...so we breezed on thru and had our bags taken by a porter to a small 6 passenger bus. (Tipped $ per bag) Only 3 of us on the bus to Hedo II.
Not much to see on the way...stayed on the road by the ocean most of the way. These guys have never learned how to drive on the "right" side of the road. Stopped for a $3.00 Red Stripe and bathroom break about 1 hour into our trip. (The only time I paid for alcohol the entire trip). We arrived in about 2 hours to Hedo, at 5:30 pm. Reception was a snap. Arriving later in the day has its advantages, no wait for our room. Since checkout is not till 12 noon, early arrivals could wait several hours for their room.
I'd read most all I could from DennyP's site, word of mouth, etc. to prepare ourselves for this trip, which would be our first visit to a nude resort and for us to be nude in public also. She is in her late 30's and me in my late 40's. This would truly be a new experience for us both. We wanted to explore our relationship and sexuality outside of our normal box...and we did!!!
Rain met us head on the first day, with a light rain at check in. It rained steady that first day (30 Apr) till about 7pm. The rain cools the place down, and really puts a damper on beach side activities, with everything wet, and cool during the evening hours.
We quickly got to our room and dashed off to get some of the famous Jerk Chicken from Robert's on the Nude side of the resort. We were too embarrassed to strip when we got to the famous sign: "Nude Beach, no photography allowed". The clothed guard at the border of the nude and prude beach, didn't comment on us walking clothed to the nude grill. We did get some stares and a few slight comments about us not being nude, but all in jest and all respectful. I quickly got our chicken and famous sauce and we headed for the main dining area to eat it. By now the rain was really picking up. It was really weird seeing all the nude bums, boobs and body shapes in our quick dash...but not very sexually arousing, too nervous for that.
Once at the main dining area, we ran into two couples from our Zoo Krew Yahoo Group (hedonismIIinmay). Our decision to hook up with a group of veterans and newbies was the best decision we made in preplanning for our trip. The months previous chatting with others and becoming acquainted with Hedo, really helped set the stage for a great week of fellowship, fun and entertainment. My advice to any newbie, find a group to go with...it will really jump start your fun and help you get into the Hedo groove much quicker and may be the beginning of some lifelong friendships.
The jerk chicken was good grilled chicken and the sauce was milder than Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill Caribbean Jerk Sauce that we bought a few weeks before our trip. But to die for? I guess it's a matter of taste. The food at Hedo II is not bad. Not gourmet, but lots of selection and choices each night. If you eat at the 3 restaurants and the main dining area, and the grills, I think you will find plenty to choose from. Ray, the Dining Room Manager, was on top of his game and was a visible part of our dining experience.
They served grilled shrimp, several times, grilled goat, ribs, prime rib, etc. Fish was always one of the selections. The desserts were ok...Soft serve ice cream was more like ice milk...not too creamy...and quickly turns to slush...chocolate anything...seem to have a more bitter taste. But again, I think unless you're a picky eater, you can get your fill.
Our first night, we went to the piano bar since my wife loves to sing. There was a small crowd, so she was able to sing her heart out. At the urgings of Deb and Larry, we headed to the nude hot tub after leaving the piano bar. I think the cover of darkness made our first nude exposure a little easier to handle. We didn't stay long or look around much, but we made baby steps towards the enjoying nude life. So much written about the activity from previous trip reports...more PDA's to follow. We went to bed early, about 130 am.
Early rise the next day and headed to breakfast. Checked out the activity board posted in the main dining area for all the contests and events for the day. We learned late on our last trip to Breezes Resort that if you participate in resort activities, you can earn bottles of Appleton Jamaican Rum. We wanted to see how many bottles we could get before the end of this trip (got one bottle from our first Breezes visit).
Well, today was the day to venture to the nude side in broad daylight and meet more of our Zoo Krew friends. Boy, our hair was standing straight up as we bravely walked along the beach past the guard and onto the nude side. We decided that we would not undress until we got to the pool and found our group. Well it didn't take long, and once there, we were quickly greeted pool side..and prompted ..."ok get Nekkid ". Yippes....the moment of truth and dare was upon us. I know my wife was saying to herself, how did I get myself in this mess to begin with.....argh......
Well, we quickly and nervously got out of our shorts, etc. and declared for all present to see.."ok we are Naked", as a roar of approval resounds from the pool and our new Zoo Krew friends. Ok, quickly we slipped into the water to hide our embarrassment and shimmy over to the pool swim up bar to get a stiff drink. My wife was quickly given a Zoo Krew straw for the women only...a replica of my dick..I think....although I was feeling a little intimidated by the size of the straw....lol....my main problem with public nudity that I have endured my entire life...shower room comparisons...I always seem to come out on the short side of each comparison...so to speak....argh....thank goodness for my Oakleys...I can hide my eyes and my embarrassment.
Well, the real introductions began soon after we got our drinks and lots of naked hugs from all seem to be the norm. Hugging some nice boobs and bums was beginning to feel really nice...mmmm, I could get use to this...as long as they didn't look into the water and see my appendage all wrinkled up and almost invisible to the naked eye...no pun intended....
PDA's started popping up all around us at the nude pool and hot tub area. I really thought PDA's would be confined to remote areas and later at night, but several couples felt compelled to just "do it". Hey, I didn't mind watching the activities. If you really bother to look around, PDA's are happening all over in different forms. Stroking of enlarging organs, kisses of affection on breasts, and lips...some quite simple and quick but still very visible, if you happen to be looking that way at that moment in time. I said, I needed eyes in all four areas of my head so I wouldn't miss anything. Most people didn't seem to really pay the PDA's much notice. Most were busy chatting with friends, drinking and having a genuine good time laughing and just relaxing. I don't think I heard anyone talking about work the entire time...Relaxing and having fun was the name of the game and I was game for that....
Me being a newbie to our Zoo Krew group, I was designated the "drink bitch" for the day. It was my duty to keep everyone with drink in hand. It was fun to do, spent lots of time this day at the nude bar, but it's a social rich environment so it was great to dialog with the staff, and others while I dutifully waited my turn. I found a neat way to keep everyone satisfied and reduce my workload. As I watched the bartender, Delroy and Michelle, and others..as they fixed mixed drinks..smoothies etc. there was always leftover in the blender...I always asked for the extra...that always seem to satisfy someone in the group and being proactive, cut down on my trips to the bar..lol
Well the rain decided to visit us again. Today the rain started about 3 pm and lasted till past 6pm (It rained our first 3 days, late afternoon till about 7pm). We huddled under the awning at the swim up bar and continued to get acquainted. Rain really cools everything down. Ate some more jerk chicken and fries which is the main fare at the nude grill but only available around 5pm...and it goes fairly quickly. Lunchtime, you can get hamburgers and grilled ham and cheese. All good, but way too many fat grams for our daily regimen.
You can really overeat at this place. No tickets to punch or limits. We checked out the main dining area after we got tired of being rained on. Grilled shrimp wetted my appetite. Drinks flowed this day and throughout the night.
This night, we also spent time at the Piano bar, this time with some Zoo Krew in tow. It was another good night, of drinks, friends, and music. We did venture to the hot tub this night, but didn't stay long. Mostly couples we didn't know and trollers.(single guys trolling for some action) most are harmless, but some are very aggressive. My only complaint about the hot tub and nude pool is these aggressive trollers need to be put out!! They are rude and disrespectful. Respect seems to be the order of the day, even at a nude resort. I resorted to calling security on one guy who had been identified by several ladies as someone who would take indecent (and unwanted) liberties with them and I asked him to leave and he resisted. Thank goodness, that he was an exception to the rule.
I don't want to write a book. There were lots of fun activities with the entertainment staff. Had a face painted on my front with my dick as a tongue...I spent lots of time later, sticking my tongue out at all my friends and some strangers...or soon to be friends. Most folks at Hedo are very pleasant and eager to be friendly.
We spent a fair amount of time playing resort games and activities. We earned 6, 1-liter bottles of Rum on this trip...Wow...my carry-on bag was full...
We enjoyed meeting and engaging with the Hedo staff. They will make your trip more enjoyable if you take time to get to know them. Our Zoo Krew friends were great. We would not have felt comfortable about being nude and even going to Hedo without a support group to give us the strength and an immediate social group to hang out with. We made other friends while we were there too, but it was nice to have a group to hang out with and jump start the socialization process. My advice to single folks. Find a group to hang with. You will have more fun and make it easier to meet others. Guys don't expect a "fuckfest". Most of the single ladies on the nude side (can't comment for the prude side since we spent such little time there) seemed to be happy being scantily dressed but less likely to want to have sex with a bunch of strangers. Older couples (30/40 +) seem to be the norm, at least during our week.
It's a different world on the prude side vs the nude side. Your prospective of Hedo could be a lot different if you don't go nude. My advice: Go nude young man/lady...go nude. You may never feel the same again. I know my wife is much more comfortable. She even went to dinner with a painted scene on her chest twice, and only wore a skimpy throw as a dress. Man...was she sexy!!!! Going braless is less of a problem at home now...Yippee....I love her breasts...and I really enjoyed seeing them everyday...so did most of the staff and guests...her nipples are to die for!!!!!
I got my eyes full each day. And plenty of PDA's much more than I thought from reading the trip reports. On the second day, there were 4 couples lined up on the hot tub at about 4pm. Each girl was giving her man some oral action...Amazing....only at Hedo......I was never far from some form of sexual experimentation. It was great...Next time...maybe my wife will perform for the group. She is still very shy about PDAs herself. I know she also enjoyed the view.
Hedo is worth a visit. Don't go for the great food, or modern facilities. Go for the relaxation, fellowship with others and a chance to let your hair down...it may never go back up and give you a prospective that will change your life. 7 days didn't seem like enough time....next time....10 days minimum.
We are not lifestylers, but those guys know how to have a good party. We are already planning a visit with friends we made in Hedo and a Zoo Krew Reunion in Oct in the states. We are excited about returning to Hedo with our new friends in May next year. Who knows, we may join the growing list of repeat offenders.... J
Hedo is like any other place...your attitude and willingness to relax and just have fun is what makes any vacation enjoyable...Its just at Hedo...having a good time is just "So much more fun".
Remember: What happens at Hedo, stays at Hedo....but the memories.... will always be with us. We just might make Hedo our Anniversary getaway each year..what a wicked thought...
I will be happy to expand on any area I've written about for those who are looking for this newbie's first take of a great place to have some childish, but very "adult" fun.
