4/24 - 4/27

1st time wonder!! 

When I first booked our trip (5 ladies from the ages of 35-41) to Hedo II, I was nervous about the “Nude” activity comments that I read everyday for 3 weeks up until De Day…lol…. I drove myself crazy for NO reason!!! So here is my story….             

It all started at 8:35am BWI-Air Jamaica airlines, the flight was on time, no worries, check-in, no worries on the plane and reaching our destination as well as customs to/from Jamaica…No problems mon… (As I’ve heard from other comments AJ is horrible, bad service, delays etc.) I guess I caught them on a good day….and I say to those people, “There’s NOT a perfect airline service out there sometimes delays are good it may be saving your life”!

We took the drive from the airport in route to Hedo stopping at the rest stop for bathroom break, alcohol break, and smoke break if that’s your thing…lol…smooth ride no issues there…of course I had my issues…lol… the closer we got to Hedo, the more thinking I did… I had an image in my head from the previous weeks of reading all sorts of comments that when  pulling up to Hedo’s lobby there would be nekked people having sex in the lobby while we checked in…LOL….I know I’m such a mental person…lol…anyway that wasn’t the case…We got checked in within 10-15mins of our arrival and they brought us drinks while we waited…as 1 of 2 rooms was ready so they held the others bags until the second room was ready and we were eating lunch and drinking rum punch by noon!.

Room: The room was clean nothing to brag about everything worked the AC, shower, toilet, bed was somewhat comfy, I didn’t toss and turn so I guess it worked out or maybe I was dead drunk every nite and didn’t notice any difference…LOL... We had plenty of towels and anything else we needed...I'm a 5-star kind of girl but didn’t mind being in this hotel it was clean and it serves it's purpose that's all nothing more....Didn’t bother me much as I spent most my time outside and not inside….Who hangs in there room anyways...lol....

Packing: I always have a tendency to pack TOO many clothes…I literally didn’t wear ¾ of the clothes/shoes I packed I even brought aqua-shoes and didn’t even wear them…Ladies, all you need for your trip is bathing suits, flip flops, shorts and tank tops maybe a few sun dresses/sandals for the restaurants…and that’s only if you plan on being on the  Prude side…lol

Food: The food was great, nice variety never went hungry or bored with the menu...We made reservations a day in advance to Pastafari restaurant before the crowd…Great food! Plan to go atleast once while you are there. It was my 40th B-day and they brought out a whole cake with candles for me, which took me by surprise....and everyone in my section sang Happy B-day…how sweet…lol…The service was great it reminds me of a 5-star restaurant in the States.

Drinks:  The drinks were  a little weak at first in small cups, so you found yourself going to the bar every 10-15mins for refills…”depending on how much you drink”…lol… until someone advice me to ask for double shots of whatever I was drinking and that seemed to work…lol…and then I got even better advice buy a BIG insulated cup get double shots and you won’t have to keep going to the bar for refills, so I went to the gift shop and got a great big cup…that worked even betta…so yes get a big cup…lol

Service: From the housekeepers, to the waiters (Special Thanks to Kimmola she’s a sweetheart went out her way 4 us) to the  ground keepers to all of Hedo employees....they were all great! The grounds were always clean, you didn’t see trash, food hanging around, the pool/jacuzzi was clean, the outside bathrooms  (lobby, beach area) were nice and clean….the employees at Hedo II are ALL outstanding workers…they go out there way to make you feel comfy day or night…..I take my top off to you ALL!!! Much Love!

Entertainment: Lots of activities during the day and at night…The entertainment staff was great kept you on your toes…Thanks to Abraham,  Winston and  Matthew you guys Rule!!! Lol…Every night at dinner they have some kind of entertainment (live band, singers, dancers, crowd participation, etc.)…Thursday night was Toga night (the white sheet wrap around)…Those folks wore some very creative toga outfits I was impressed with there creative ways of wearing a sheet…they really go all out on this toga theme…great job guys!...We didn’t get dress in sheets this time around being newbies and all…lol…but we will be ready next year…! Toga was the only theme night I can remember but the guest seemed to dress…. I like to call it…”fantasy outfits”…lol…during dinner…they wore 6 inch heels w/ booty shorts, his/her dominatrix outfits, color hair and sheer dress to match even some men were dressed…we were in “Awww” the 2nd night you can tell they are Hedo Vets it was pretty cool…FYI…Don’t feel like you need to run out and find “fantasy outfits” we didn’t dress up at all and didn’t feel out of place…

We didn't need to leave the resort for fun they have all kinds of activities all day I left the resort maybe once...although I noticed the Nude side has most of the fun activities and I even heard a DJ on the beach, folks on the nekkid slide and all the noise of laughter etc….lol…since WE was on the Prude side most of our stay it was a little boring at times but relaxing…I do love the fact you have a choice to be on either side nude or prude… Occasionally I saw 1 or 2  if not 3 folks that were nude and decided to hang over at the “Prude” side which at first bothered me just a little bit, but after day 2 everyone looked alike Nude or Prude...lol...one good thing about it all the nude  wasn't all in your face or forcing themselves on ya…Well let me back track just a little bit…lol…there was this one guy that loved attention and he would flaunt around overly showing off “if you know what I mean” and one evening we were just sitting around the dining area near the stage and this guy jumped on stage naked and yell “HAA” all you can do is laugh or ignore him…lol…you know there’s always one fool in the bunch…lol…Our last day at Hedo WE (3 out of 5) made our  way over to the nude side (after all my refusal from day 1 not to go) beach…let me tell you…it was a great experience hard to explain but I felt free and wanted to stay that way (nude).... the only thing I regret is not going over there sooner during my stay!  Can’t wait for next year!!..Far as night life we had Karaoke night in the Piano room, and then the disco room which played all types of music just enough to get the body movin…I read a comment somewhere, people were complaining about the music being too loud in the disco room and I thought to myself it suppose to be loud it’s a club….lol…Now that I’ve experienced it for myself it is too loud!! But nice LOL…

Transportation:  We finally made it off the resort and went to a club called “The Zoo” (Free for ladies on Thursdays b-4 midnight at the time) it’s a nice club has 2 floors and several rooms, a great variety of music no one person would be bored…We asked security at Hedo to find us a taxi as we figured he would get someone that’s reliable…The guy (cant’ remember his name, shame on me) picked us up took us to the club gave us his number and waited for us while we partied…When we was ready to go he was right outside…! Now that’s service!  My point is ask  an employee or someone at Hedo to refer a taxi oppose to finding a taxi on your own…

Personal Msg.:  There's only (1) tiny thing I didn't like about Hedo.....and that is how you had a few folks that would walk around the dining area with just there private areas covered at times (and not all the time securely covered).......from what I understand….” as long as there private parts are covered they are allowed to be in the dining area..”.Me personally just don't feel that is sanitary …just the idea of possibly finding pubic hairs in your food really makes me sick....! I really think Hedo should rethink that rule sorry for being such a prude…lol….!

Special Shout-Out – “Tamnrudy” and “Japed” for answering my 101 questions and the great advice and tips that you both shared with me during my time in doubt…lol…I appreciate you both and hope we cross paths in Hedo soon!


Thanks Hedo for making my 40th Birthday a blast and a long lasting memory! Until next time…IRIE

~~~Stella got her groove back!
