<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009384256,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009384256,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009384256?profile=original" /></a><br /> <br />My 14th visit to Negril's <strong><a href="https://www.hedonism.com/" target="_blank">Hedonism II</a></strong> clothing-optional resort began June 15, 2019 and ended June 25, and in that time I had a chance to explore most, if not all, areas of the resort property and to experience most of what Hedo had to offer---and again it does not disappoint whatsover.<br /><br /><br /><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/77D8prh-xzU?wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" width="750" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><div class="msg-content undoreset" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1345"><div id="ygrps-yiv-430643340"><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1360"><br /> Hedo has 280 luxury rooms and suites, and mine was No. 2170, a nude beach/jacuzzi premium suite and one that I had occupied in the past. The room was immaculate, clean, and almost cold because the air conditioner was working so efficiently. Bathroom amenities, stocked refrigerator and all the printed info I would need for my ten days here was a nice bonus.</p><p><br /> <br /><a href="https://st2.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280232649?profile=original" target="_blank"><img src="https://st2.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280232649?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="860" alt="3280232649?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a><br />Service from day one to my departure was excellent in all regards. I don't recall waiting for anyone on the property more than a few minutes for assistance and, as always, smile from staff are the norm. From my room attendant to daily refrigerator re-stocker to my jacuzzi maintenance man and bell hop/luggage delivery man I was treated as a valued guest and I found I rarely needed to ask for anything out of the ordinary. Front office staff when needed were always receptive to questions or comments and not surprisingly the bar and food staff were always friendly, efficient and hard-working making people happy.</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1370"><br /> <br /><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cmnpgKKEmp0?wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" width="750" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe> <br /><br /><br />The grounds, beaches, pools/spas, venues and buildings of Hedo all seemed to be well-maintained and there was only one area of construction (H-block-garden view on the nude side) and noise, etc was never an issue.<br /><br />One tip I'll pass on that has helped me over the years is when I check into Hedo I request a guest comment card or two to keep in my room so I can make notes of good and bad things and to write down names of those who provided outstanding service followed by me leaving these with the front office upon my departure.I forgot this trip to take a photo of it to use in this trip report so I'm going off my photos and memories.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://st2.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280233859?profile=original" target="_blank"><img src="https://st2.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280233859?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="573" alt="3280233859?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a><br /><br />A simple 1-10 (10 being best) rating of the major aspects of Hedo:</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1372"><br /> Check-in: 10 - fast, friendly, made to feel welcome</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1373">Room: 10 - maintained well, very clean, quiet, dark (when desired)</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1374">Jacuzzi/lanai 9+ - once the temperature was turned down about five degrees</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1375">Beaches: 10 - always well-groomed, plenty of loungers, shade/sun</p><p>Marina/watersports: 10 - twice-daily snorkel/scuba trips, other non-motorized sports</p><p>Drinks: 10 - premium drinks/shots, water in coolers in beach area</p><p>Food: 10 - variety, quality, and available 24/7 at various locations </p><p>Pools/jacuzzis: 9+ - so many to choose from, often with (too loud) music</p><p>Entertainment crew: 10 - hardest-working staff anywhere & so fun/friendly</p><p>Shopping: 10 - the boutique gift shop is a favorite of mine</p><p>Kama Sutra Palace: 10 - <em>very</em> nice serene and meditative get-away</p><p>Romping Shop 5 - being remodeled so it had limited space (but still nice)</p><p>Piano bar: 9 - great fun if a bit too loud for me</p><p>Disco/nightclub: 7 - I only experienced it for the weekly foam party (cool)</p><p>Beach buffet: 9+ - great/varied food, runway, and fire show, but wear bug spray </p><p>Restaurants: 10 - from main dining buffet to Harry-San teppanyaki and Pastafari (Italian) and from the <br /> Chophouse to nude pool grill (day and night) - -awesome!</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1388"></p><p></p><p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tBVwbBwJf0I?wmode=opaque" allowfullscreen="" width="750" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p></p><p>Other thoughts: One of the couples in our group (krewe) had arranged a wedding/renewal of vows on the beach with reception in the piano bar and everyone was impressed with the set-up, the ceremony, the photos, and the reception complete with champagne and cake.</p><p><br /> Costumed theme nights were so much fun as the resort was sold out and there were so many participants. Theme nights included Sexy Sports Night; Hedonistic School Girl Night; Jamaica Night; Glow Night; Fetish/Lingerie/Fantasy Night; Toga/Foam Night; Rock Star Night.</p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1376"><br /> Main stage shows & music: The quality of these shows continues to amaze me with variety and quality that rivals or exceeds Las Vegas Cabaret shows. Hedo never falls short of entertainment value whether it is the EC's with pool games or beachfront runway shows and main stage shows are just pretty awesome.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://st4.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280230457?profile=original" target="_blank"><img src="https://st4.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3280230457?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-center" width="861" alt="3280230457?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p><p id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1378"><br /> I am already signed up for my 15th trip in June 2020 and can't wait to see what changes and improvements has in store.</p></div></div><div class="msg-inline-video" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1344"><div dir="ltr"><br /> For more info and more of my "Anntics" both in and out of costume,, <font face="arial, helvetica"><span>ask me at TheTravelSlut@yahoo.com and/or check out my daily photo and video updates in these links on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/TheTravelSlut/videos" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, (free to subscribe to my channel), <a href="http://twitter.com/TheTravelSlut" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/hedonismresortgrouptrip" target="_blank">Flickr</a> (with more than 4,100 photos and 7,200-plus followers), and <a href="http://mewe.com/group/5b31c1cfa40f302376fd2dcb" target="_blank">MeWe</a> (my alternative to Facebook). <br /></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="arial, helvetica"><span> </span></font><font face="arial, helvetica"><span> </span></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica"><span><br /> <em>Ann, The TravelSlut</em></span></font></div></div></div><div class="message-read card-action-bar" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1563063026783_1382"><div class="reply-all-btn tip"></div></div></div>

<div><div class="post_content clearfix"><div class="post_content_inner clearfix"><div class="post_body"><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9296616264,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9296616264,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9296616264?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> Every June I'm involved in a a <a href="http://www.hedonism.com/events-entertainment/events/krewe-de-krazy-life-2017/" target="_blank">group trip adventure</a> to Hedonism II resort, open to all singles, couples, and funloving adults. Dates for the 11th annual trip in 2017 are June 17-24, and if you've ever wondered what really goes on down here, allow me to offer my report from June 2016 - my 12th trip to paradise and my 10th annual mid-June TravelSlut and Krewe de Krazy Life Group Trip Adventure.</p><p>I spent my 10 nights in room 2129, a Nude Beach Jacuzzi Premium Suite (NBJP), and I celebrated with about 40 Krewe members plus other group guests I have known for many years, including "Hedo Rockers," "Sex Gamers," "Reggae Cowboys," and "Texas Two-Steppers." Some of the Krewe this year included both veterans and newbies, singles and couples (A&C, M&J, J&M, C&B, M&M, R&C, S&J, L&R, K&P, V&A, L&T, S&A, B&G, M&F, K, R, T & FNG - you know who you are!).</p><p><br /> I arrived in Montego Bay via Southwest Airlines from Orlando, Florida on an uneventful flight, and after the normal immigrations and customs process, I was transferred along with seven other Krewe members by our longtime and regular transportation company, Rocky’s Taxi Service, for another friendly, safe and efficient ride to Hedo, about 80 minutes west. </p><p><br /> Upon arrival, my check-in at the concierge desk was quick and followed by a personal concierge escort to my room, where I was told of all the new procedures and renovations at Hedo since my last visit in June 2015.</p><p><br /> My room was simply awesome, and the first time I have stayed in a premium jacuzzi suite - and it immediately became Krewe de Krazy Life group headquarters. I hung a banner over the jacuzzi on my lanai that could easily be seen from the sandy walk to and from the nude beach/pool areas.<br /> <br /><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009076658,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009076658,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009076658?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> My photos reflect the interior of the room with all its amenities including plenty of storage space, stocked refrigerator, LED-colored mirrored ceiling, dual bathroom sinks, premium toiletries, glassed-enclosed/large shower, closet & safe, and sliding glass door to the jacuzzi lanai (controlled electronically with a push-button exit and keypad control entry) and of course access to the concierge with the ability to reserve restaurants (all three restaurants are now first come/first served).</p><p>After I hosted the meet and greet in the piano bar, where Krewe had a chance to mingle, drink, eat fantastic appetizers (and where the beaded name necklaces, room key wristlets and sexy “toys” were distributed), we all walked about Hedo grounds to see all the great improvements in the lobby, dedicated wine and espresso coffee bars, gift shops, Reggae Beach Cafe (during daytime) and Flame/Chophouse (after dark). <br /> <br /> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009076293,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009076293,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009076293?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> Hedo staff that made my 12th stay special are too numerous to list and I am not over-exaggerating.I made sure I kept a daily list of everyone that made both my and the Krewe’s week so special and then wrote them onto my departure guest survey form.<br /></p><p>The front office was again awesome and responsive and I spent considerable time there as a group leader. Best of all, they were responsive to my request and inquiries. Other staffers who provided outstanding service throughout the week included Winston, Ricardo, Odane, Clinton, Dorethea, Paulette, Hakeem, Emilio, Damion, Charlene, Liethan, Sunshine and Denise.<br /></p><p>Themed costume nights were both a highlight for me and the Krewe de Krazy Life, and the energy provided each night only added to the excitement and eye candy for guests.<br /></p><p>Saturday: HATS & HEELS</p><p>Sunday: HEDONISTIC SCHOOLGIRL</p><p>Monday: JAMAICA NIGHT</p><p>Tuesday: BARE AS YOU DARE GLOW PARTY</p><p>Wednesday: FETISH-FANTASY & LEATHER-LINGERIE</p><p>Thursday: TOGA FOAM PARTY</p><p>Friday: ROCKING ROCK STARS;</p><p><br /> Of course guests, including those from the Krewe, had the option to dress in named theme or anyway they desired—even if it was not to dress up at all! <br /> <br /><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9296616474,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9296616474,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9296616474?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> My routine, which mirrored many of the Krewe and other guests revolved around sleeping in (no alarms) and then enjoying the many great breakfast options in the newly-renovated main dining room before checking emails (and for me conducting some travel business) in the free wi-fi courtyard area (or far edge of the dining tables near Harry San restaurant). Some then went to work out while others went to the nude beach for some sun and Caribbean waters and others went to the nude pool to start the day’s fun in the sun and to snack on the various delicious items from the nude beach grill.<br /> <br /></p><p>Often we would meet up later in the afternoon in the main dining room for catch-up and plans for the evening or next day. We also met daily at my suite in and out of the jacuzzi where it was very convenient the couple days we had some short rain showers. And having delivered rum creams to the jacuzzi was a real treat! <br /> <br /> <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009078063,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009078063,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009078063?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> Afternoons were spent on the beach and/or nude pools including the clothing-optional pools near the main dining area and beachfront cafe. <br /> <br /><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009078278,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009078278,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="9009078278?profile=original" /></a></p><p><br /> Many in the Krewe took advantage of the complimentary, twice-daily, scuba and snorkeling boat trips that departed from the Hedo marina daily at 11:30 am and 2:30 pm. <br /> <br /></p><p>Of course, some enjoyed the catamaran boat trip to the caves and to Ricks Bar & Cafe but the Krewe and I were invited (thanks, Bob) to take a special catamaran boat trip to the private Half Moon Bay island with a snorkel stop along the way around the southwest peninsula of Jamaica. Oncw we arrived on the island, we had an awaiting wonderful Jamaican barbeque lunch (and unlimited drinks) followed by a chance to explore the area, swim in the lagoon, boat to a remote island to drink at a tiki hut, or simply relax in any manner desired.</p><p><br /> Dinners at Hedo have improved greatly, now with four options:</p><p>Harry San Teppanyaki (Japanese)</p><p>Pastafari (Italian)</p><p>Flame-Chophouse (American steakhouse, a option with so many praises from guests)</p><p>Main Terrace Dining Room (buffett and and the international dining night on Fridays)</p><p><br /> I dined with all the Krewe at each of the various venues during our week and I cannot say I had a favorite because all 11 dinners were awesome and delicious with great service.</p><p><br /> I met up with the resident wood-carver Christopher and thanked him for getting my wooden plaque hung from the eve of the nude pool bar facing the nude pool and jacuzzi.</p><p><br /> The week with the Krewe was both active and busy (especially at night with our costumed antics/Ann-tics and relaxing with time spent on the nude beach, my jacuzzi suite, the nude pool and jacuzzi, and even the piano bar/side room, wine bar, and finally the new Rendezvous Lounge/Playroom:<br /> <br /><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ALLHNdtsyLE?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p><br /> Everyone liked the addition of the electronic and digital display monitors for daily dining options and activites board (located in the lobby) and the main dining menu board located near the grill.</p><p><br /> I loved the whimsical new furniture both in the lobby (the buttcheek chairs) and around the main terrace pool (red lips loungers). </p><p><br /> Again, I could not find some of my old painted rocks except for the Krewe rock near Pastafari so I painted a new one and placed it near the jacuzzi lanai steps outside my room. </p><p><br /> A few random, fun memories….a skinny dip in the Hurricane Nightclub’s disco pool (and drinks served by Ricardo), footb and body massage on the catamaran boat trip back to Hedo from Half Moon Cay, nightly photos under and next to my banners hung around the rounds, showing off my new red wig gift from a TravelSlut SuperFan (JM) in Texas and Malibu Strings see through outfit from another TravelSlut SuperFan from South Africa, Glow Party at the pool and Foam Party in the courtyard, (note, the waterslide and rock climbing wall are both removed), midnight billiards, sunsets on the raft in the nude beach lagoon, and a chance to wear all my costumes packed in my 197 pounds of luggage (lol). And...</p><p><br /> Of course some of the happenings at Hedo, both within and outside our group fun times, must stay at Hedo and in the minds and memories of those that were able to witness or participate in those special times</p><p><br /> If you have any questions about Hedo or daily life at Hedo during our annual group week, please do not hesitate to ask and I will try to answer the best I can or refer you a valid resource.’</p><p><br /> Hopefully you can join and be a member of our Krewe for our 11th Annual Group Trip Adventure and Rendezvous in Paradise at Hedonism II resort from June 17-24, 2017–and at the lowest group rates for all singles and couples.

<div><p>June 20-30, 2014 was my 10th trip to Hedonism and it was again a great experience for reasons related to the great service, food, drinks, ground and room renovation and remodeling and of course the relaxed, "no problem mon" ambiance and atmosphere.</p><p>I was there also for the 8th Annual Krewe de Krazy Life Group Rendezvous in Paradise and there were 5 other groups attending that week too plus the co-founders of the Krewe (John & MJ of <a href="http://www.krazykrewe.net/">www.krazykrewe.net/</a> ) and Pashur, world-famous Bodypainter<br />( <a href="http://www.canvasalive.com">www.canvasalive.com</a> ).</p><p>From seamless and effortless ground transfer via Rocky's Taxi Service to quick, efficient check-in, my first few hours in Jamaica and at Hedonism II made me feel comfortable like I was returning home.</p><p>As he resort was nearly sold-out during the week I was there, I was surprised to find that there were no unreasonable delays or issues whatsoever thanks to plenty of staff.</p><p>My garden view regular (renovated) room was very clean, relatively quiet and cool (with the exception of 1 day where the air conditioning for part of resort was out of service due to a chiller water line break). The newly remodeled rooms are very nice as evidenced by the reports from people in the Krewe de Krazy Life Group and others who shared their room evaluations.</p><p>Overall, service quality resort-wide continues to be excellent, food (including the nude grill and Reggae Beachfront Cafe) is across-the-board even more improved from last year and was noted by so many as being great with expanded daily menus and presentations. Drinks were also top shelf and abundant, quick to be made and delivered and available 24/7.</p><p>Wi-fi resort-wide was good throughout my stay and the new construction of the courtyard area is reported to be an area where free wi-fi will be offered once remodeling is completed.</p><p>The piano bar was closed my first two nights due to remodeling but when it opened up (see my photos), the wait was worthwhile and Deon was back working his musical magic!</p><p>I thoroughly enjoyed my specialty dining in both the newly expanded Japanese Teppanyaki "Harry San" restaurant and always upscale and Italian-based "Martino's" dining room. The food at Harry San's was only surpassed by our chef's entertaining style and fun attitude while preparing the meals.</p><p>While the original jewelry store is gone, Hedo's Gift Boutique has more than made up for its absence with a vastly expanded area and inventory where you can buy everything from souvenirs and clothing to medicines and adult-only accessories.</p><p>The fitness center and spa were busy most days and beachside massages were commonplace and people in my group said they really enjoyed the massage experiences.</p><p>The nude and clothing optional beaches were popular throughout the day and the swimming/wading area seemed larger and more free of plant life and even those painful sea urchins. Plenty of new padded loungers were available although they were scarce late in the afternoons at the nude pool.</p><p>The nude pool continues to be the most popular gathering area for guests, especially noon-7 pm and it was nice to see that Hedo supplied at least three bartenders each afternoon so drink waiting times were minimal. The nude pool grill also offered a larger, varied menu and of course, the post-midnight pizza offerings were delicious.</p><p>When the nude pool got to be too crowded or noisy (with the games & contests), I walked back to the main pool by the main dining area or to the beachfront pool near the disco & Reggae Cafe for some quiet time. Drinks were also close by also.</p><p>The main pool is totally clothing-optional and it also served as the staging area for several parties during the week including the "Glow stick" party complete with DJ while the adjacent Disco hosted several "Meet and Greets" plus a "Foam Party" and contest during "PJ/Lingerie" night. The attached water slide was popular both day and night and it continues to be a wild, fast slide into the disco pool.</p><p>The Entertainment Crew at Hedonism is unmatched compared to the many other Caribbean resorts I've been to and you will not find a harder working or more dedicated, friendly and talented group of actors/dancers/singers both on-stage or throughout the resort at various functions and venues.</p><p>I enjoyed my interactions at Hedo with two of their regular on-site vendors---Christopher the wood carver (who finished a commemorative plaque highlighting my 10 trips) and Kevin the rock painter who did a great Krewe de Krazy Life rock for our group that is currently on the ground outside of Martino's.</p><p>Staff at Hedonism continues to be responsive and attentive and that contributes greatly to a stress-less vacation.</p><p>Improvements, renovations, and remodeling/construction continues at Hedonism II but as I discovered during my stay, it had very little impact on me throughout my vacation.</p><p>While the weather was typical for June in the tropical Caribbean, some rain and thunderstorms did occur for a couple days for a few hours. A word of caution---when it is storming with lightning, get out of the water and into a safe, covered location. Also, when the tiles and walkways get wet, be extremely careful with your footing.</p><p>Also, I would recommend that you book Harry San's restaurant early in the evening before the main stage entertainment begins so that you can enjoy your fellow diners and appreciate the culinary skills and entertainment that your chef can provide.</p><p>Trip #11 for me is already scheduled for June 20-27, 2015 and I can't wait to "go home" and be with the Krewe again.</p><p>Ann, The TravelSlut<br />TheTravelSlut@yahoo.com<br />twitter.com/TheTravelSlut<br />groups.yahoo.com/group/KrewedeKrazyLifers4Hedonism<a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9008860855,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9008860855,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9008860855?profile=original" /></a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9008860895,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9008860895,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9008860895?profile=original" /></a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861257,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861257,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9008861257?profile=original" /></a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861477,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861477,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9008861477?profile=original" /></a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861860,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9008861860,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9008861860?profile=original" /></a></p></div>

It asked “Where was she supposed to apply the cream, on her clothes?"<br /><br />Italian etiquette experts weighed in by noting fewer and fewer people were actually topless on Italy’s beaches because people get their tans in salons or beach bars where being half clothed is apparently more acceptable.<br /><br />Luisa was reportedly happy at the court’s “ exercise of common sense,” but miffed her vacation was ruined by the incident.<br /><br />She told a local newspaper she’s heading to Greece where she says she won’t have to undergo a “similar horrible experience.” <br /><br /></div>
