Michael - November, 2007

We were at Hedo II with our friends from home (newbies) through Thanksgiving. Our flight was uneventful, and the van ride to the resort was pretty much as we remembered from previous trips. We have always been so excited to get back home that we never mind the ride. Our room was to be on the prude side, but since the resort wasn't full, we were pleased to be upgraded to the nude side. (A friendly smile and a positive attitude will sometimes get you a long way!) Our room was fine-hot water, comfortable bed, and mirrors on the ceiling. What more could you want? We requested a fan to drown out noise, as the room was a little closer to the disco and loud music than on past trips. No problems there-Housekeeping brought us the fan the same evening. We found the food to be very good. Friday night was awesome, grilled lobster was plentiful, and this was the first time we have had lobster at Hedo. We made reservations at Pastafari one evening (also very good) and at the Japanese restaurant another night. It was okay, but we like Pastafari much better. The nude grill was great as usual, but we did miss Robert's friendly smile. We were happy to see Delroy and Scumba at the nude bar, and Augustus working hard on the beach. We also enjoyed talking to Sunshine again, and meeting our new friend, Dean, who works in Entertainment. We did notice the beach was not as clean as we had remembered, but that may have been due to the recent rainfall in the area. As much as we love Hedo, we were disappointed in the Piano Bar. It is DEAD, not fun as we remembered. Most people were sitting outside as there was more action there than inside. Management needs to take a look at the problems with the piano bar, because it really sucks now. Lots of people complain about the air conditioning problems in the piano bar and the restaurants, but you need to remember you are in the Carribean! We also think more people would hang out in the disco if the music wasn't so damn loud! It is deafening and will give you a headache if you stay very long. Our biggest complaint, however, was the condition of the nude pool. We never saw anyone cleaning it until the day before we left. And that only happened because one of the repeaters apparently complained to management, and we heard he even took pictures to show them the scum all around the side of the pool. (which we never saw before on our four previous trips). The pool area was not as clean as it used to be, and we even saw trash floating in the pool one day. We went to the nude pool and hot tub late one night, and the bartender was sleeping in a lounge chair. Guests were going behind the bar and making their own drinks!  We are older ourselves, (54 & 52) but still consider ourselves in good shape and young for our age. We always say we both wish we had found this place when we were younger & hotter!  We did notice the Thanksgiving crowd was much older and out of shape that what we have observed in the past. There wasn't much eye candy, but that's not why we go to Hedo anyway. There weren't as many PDA's either, so we felt compelled to provide! We aren't lifestylers, and have never had a problem with anyone who is-to each his own.  All things considered, it was still a wonderful trip. We have only been married seven years, after finding each other late in life. Hedo gives us the opportunity to bask naked in the sun together, dress up for dinner, meet new and old friends, and experience the best sex ever. It helps us remember why we fell in love, and why we'll be together forever! We plan to return to Hedo for our tenth anniversary to renew our wedding vows. Hopefully, some of the problems will be fixed-and we'll find the Hedo we all want to remember.
