Trip Reports

Hedo's Mojo

4/19/09- 4/25/09

We had a fantastic trip!!! We met so many great people and loved all of those who joined in the fun with our group, Hedo's Mojo. We really enjoyed hosting the group, and we were received so well by everyone- people came up to all of us throughout the week asking how they could be a part of Hedo's Mojo. 

Our group members did an EXCELLENT job talking about the group, organizing games, activities- and we had the hottest people around, if I do say so myself!  Our t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, and towels were fantastic, there was booty-shaking all day, every day, we offered alcohol and snacks to anyone who stopped by, and the good times rolled morning, noon, and night. 

Moe did a great job as "The Mayor"- he became the unofficial meet-and-greet ambassador of Hedo II, and made sure that he spoke to any and everyone and made sure that everyone on the property was having a good time.  So many people told us how happy they were to have met all of us and how we really were the highlight of their trips, which was extremely heartwarming.  We are all ready to make plans for next year!  So, without further ado, this is a very short trip review.  The blow-by-blow (well, the PG-13 version), is coming soon!

Upon arriving at the resort, we were treated very nicely, although it was 2:30am (due to numerous flight delays). We had a room on the nude side, which was a pleasant surprise. The room was kept very clean, the mattress was firm, our tv worked just fine, and our housekeeper, Eugenia, was great.  We always had hot water and the pressure was good. Unfortunately, the room is showing signs of wear and tear- exposed plumbing, dated furnishings, small, cramped bathroom.

The food was overall "okay" but we didn't eat too much in the dining room most nights.   The dinner hours were strictly for socializing and mixing and mingling until we hit the disco.  Our general plan was that we'd eat a heavy, late lunch at the grill so we weren't too hungry at dinnertime. The food at the grills was very tasty and always hit the spot. Breakfast was also very good, but not having scrambled eggs on the buffet was a real pain. Sometimes, you don't feel like waiting in line for eggs, you know! Usually, we were able to time it so we got in line with only a couple of people ahead of us, but weren't able to get any on our departure day, unfortunately. We also ate at Pastafari one night and that was quite good.

The towel exchange program worked just fine, although it was a little difficult at night to keep up with your towel at the hot tub (especially after a few drinks). A suggestion- make sure people know where to return their towels at checkout. We saw a few people a little upset because they left their towels in the room rather than taking them to the dive shack or front desk, and they weren't allowed to check out until the towels were retrieved.

As usual, the service was fantastic everywhere- at the bars, the disco, the dining rooms, and on the beach. Everyone was very sweet, polite, and friendly and always made sure you were having fun. There were lots of activities, from rock painting, to bocce ball, to contests. The piano bar and disco were also great fun, and the fitness center was absolutely fantastic.

The entertainment was also good, and a nice variety. There was even decent participation on most of the theme nights, including toga night, even though I'd say about 1/2 of people did not know where to get their sheets- including us! I do miss the days of them leaving the sheets on the bed.

Of course, the best part of any Hedonism vacation is the people! We met so many wonderful people who I'm sure will be lifelong friends to us. We had a fantastic time, shared so many laughs, danced till dawn, reconnected as a couple, and can't wait to do it again next year!

Hedo's Mojo & AWOL in Hedo

8/2/09-8/9/09

 Before I start, I’d better get all of the logistics out of the way.  The resort was pretty full, with a number of groups, most prevalent being the AWOL group, who really kept the resort rocking!  The food was pretty good- shout out to Chef John at the nude pool!  I think I ate more than my fair share of deep fried nachos with cheese sauce and chicken, crab nachos, and fries!  His assistant was also very sweet and was a quick study.  Unfortunately, the service in pretty much all of the dining areas was quite slow, and the omelette line, even to get scrambled eggs, was pretty ridiculous.  I gave up on more than a few days and just ate hard-boiled eggs.  The rooms are definitely showing their age, but are kept clean enough, and we had hot water every day except for one day.  The towel program worked smoothly with no complaints, and the GM, Mr. Parrish sought us out on our last day to check in and make sure that our trip was satisfactory.  For those who are interested, all of the gym equipment worked except for one treadmill, and in the mornings, things actually got pretty crowded.  I was the guest aerobics instructor for the week, and my water aerobics class was VERY well attended every day.    Anyway, all that being said, onto the trip report!

Our trip started uneventfully enough, with smooth flights and an on-time arrival.  However, when we arrived at MBJ and went to the Superclubs desk, we were told that we had been bumped to Starfish Trelawny (the family resort).  We were quite upset, but no amount of arguing or negotiating could get them to reconsider or at least bump us to Breezes or GL Braco.  I decided that we should get a cab and just go ahead to Hedo3 to see if we could work it out when we arrived.  After talking to a taxi driver, another Superclubs rep said that he could get us to H3 and checked in for $100.  He took us back to the desk...and it was all a practical joke!  Our friends from AWOL (Another Week of Lunacy) had arranged for the joke to be played on us!  We were too relieved too even be mad about it.  Anyway, they were there waiting for us in the lobby, and we tried to pretend like nothing had even happened, but they busted us and knew we were lying.  We all shared a few laughs over it.

For the most part, I relaxed for most of the week. I worked out in the morning for about 45 minutes, ate breakfast, then went and taught water aerobics- which was a BIG hit.  About 15 people participated every day.  After class, for the first few days, I'd usually relax around the pool, read, talk to people, have a few drinks, smoke, then get lunch at the nude grill at about 3, take a nap till 6 or 7, then find my husband, Moe, and get ready for dinner at about 9, then do the piano bar and disco.  The piano bar was usually the spot to gear up for the evening between 10:30-11:30, the disco usually rocked between 11:45-1:30am, then everyone tended to migrate to the nude pool for some "nighttime activity." We saw our fair share of PDAs throughout the day and night both at the nude side and in the quad, and security only intervened occasionally.

There were a good number of groups there, so the resort was pretty busy. The AWOL group were almost 100 members deep and really livened up the resort.  They were friendly, loud, crazy, and “adopted” anyone who expressed interest in joining them.  They had all kinds of goodies for their group members, and really made sure that everyone was having a good time, whether they were part of their group or not.  There was another group called "One Love" there as well.  A few of their members ventured to the nude side, but most of them stayed in the quad, although some of them got naked from time to time. They were friendly enough, and definitely seemed to be having a good time, but they tended to only socialize with each other rather than making too much of an effort to get to know any of the other guests very well.  Their group leader, Cyrus, however, was awesome!  He was a big guy from DC, and he seemed to evenly split his time between hanging with his group in the quad and meeting other people on the nude side and throughout the resort.  He always had a smile on his face and was really friendly and welcoming.  I enjoyed dancing with him at the disco, eating breakfast with him (he wondered where I was putting all of that food), and chilling with him around the pool. He was a blast!

The Wild Women were there too, and always very nice, but also stayed to themselves for the most part.  One day they had a bonfire party on the beach complete with fire dancers. Their group leader is also a friend of ours, and she was such a sweetie and invited us to their events.  The JA Booze Crew group began arriving on Friday, and we’re friends with some of their members as well, who are equally wild and crazy.  I’m not sure what their total numbers were, but they looked like they were well on their way to the beginnings of a good time by the time we left. 

There was a really good mix of people on the property, from young to old, supermodel types to a little fluffy, but no matter what anyone's shape, size, or age, everyone seemed to have a fantastic time! There weren’t many singles, but there were a few (both guys and girls), and toward the end of the week, more singles seemed to trickle in.  There was even a family- mom, dad, 18 year-old, son, and son’s best friend!

 We made lots of new friends, from everywhere from England, to Australia, to Chile, to Madrid!  We had so many laughs, and got lots of compliments.  One guy at the nude hot tub told us that when he and his wife saw me and Moe earlier that day, they were convinced that we had to be porn stars!  I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment at first- I’ve seen some pretty janky porn stars. We decided to take it as a compliment and assume that he meant high- end porn, lol.  Then the guy started calling Moe "Five Dollar Foot Long" like in the Subway commercials.

This was overall a much more relaxing Hedo trip than some, but  we were able to reconnect with old friends, meet lots of new friends, party, eat, drink, dance, and even get some rest! We both know that there is no vacation like a Hedo vacation!
