Hedonism 2 Review

A review of Hedonism 2, otherwise known as Hedo II in Negril, Jamaica.

For years I’ve been hearing about the Hedo resorts, so I decided to look into Hedo II in Negril and see what the hype is all about.  My search started on a Hedo forum which led me to about a half dozen other Hedo forums……people love to chat about Hedo but they leave out the juicy details!  After a while I decided that I wanted to see Hedo II to see what the hype was all about.  Since I already had a room booked for my stay in Negril I talked to their marketing department about a couple of day and night passes to review their property with a friend of mine who owns a tour company in Jamaica.

First off, Hedo II is a nude resort, but they do offer plenty of areas where you can wear clothes if you are shy.  Speaking of shy, nobody is shy at Hedo!  If you think you are too fat, too skinny, too young, too old……….don’t worry there are very few models running around the place!  The whole vibe at Hedo is all about being relaxed and enjoying yourself…… and maybe others if you are lucky :-)   If you want to relax and explore yourself book your next vacation at Hedo II.

Booking a room at Hedo II:  SkyAuction, SkyAuction, SkyAuction (If you can’t tell, I think SkyAuction offers some excellent rates)!  You can book your rooms directly with Hedo or you can use about any on-line booking company that you can dream of.  As of the time that this was published, Hedo was offering a $570 savings coupon on their web site so be sure to check it first.

Checking in at the Hedo II: While hanging out in the Hedo lobby for awhile we witnessed a few people checking in and they seemed to get processed rather quickly.  The front desk is properly staffed with customer service agents who are waiting to serve you.

Room quality: A quote “People don’t go to Hedo for the rooms”.  I’ve heard that quote over and over again and think it’s a bunch of bullshit!  The rooms are very nice and exactly what I would expect from a top rated Super Club resort.  Take a look at my video at the end of this review to see some pictures of the rooms.

Staff: One word—–>  PROFESSIONAL.  During the course of our stay, we did not meet one staff member who was not happy and ready to help us with whatever we needed.  Even the bartenders who serve the free drinks and seldom see a tip had an excellent approach to customer service.  Thumbs up to whoever oversees the employee training programs at Hedo II.

Food: 3 words——> not overly seasoned.  Overall the food was very good but I’m used to food with tons of seasonings when I’m in Jamaica.  I guess it’s safer to serve bland food with the seasonings on the side so appeal to 100’s of people instead of the few (like me) who like every thing extra spicy.  Hedo offers a ton of places to eat and since we were only there for a couple of meals, we could only sample two of them.  When I return I would love to sample all of them :-)

Security:  No concerns at all!

Location: Hedo II is secluded at the north end of Negril but it is only a few short minutes away from any of Negril’s attractions.  If you have a good pair of shoes you can walk “downtown” or you can take a route taxi (shared taxi) for about $1.00 (US).  A regular private taxi will run you between $5.00 and $20.00 (each way) depending on your negotiating skills.

I hate to say it since Negril offers so much to do, but I think once you settle in at Hedo II you will never leave. Here’s a short list of what they offer:  tennis courts, pools, rock-climbing wall, fitness area, spa, slot machines, water sports, swim-up bar, relaxing beach, hammocks, nightlife………I’m missing more than I listed!

Overall Rating of  Hedo II:  A professional operation that is managed and staffed by professionals.  Think of the Ritz, take away the glitter, add some Jamaican charm and you have Hedo 2!

    Hedo 2 is definitely on my bucket list…if those penis enlargement pills I ordered actually work.

    If they don’t work just stay on the “prude” (non nude) side until it gets dark! I really don’t think the women will ignore you because of the size of your Johnson.

    Awesome!! Great post, room color combination looks nice. I’ve visited to Hedo II, It was all right, it has a little beach and a little dance club. The food was pretty good. I always recommend them to all friends.

    Best Regards,

    TSR, I guess it depends on what you call family. If you are talking about kids under the age of 18 it’s not a place to bring them. If you are talking about your husband or wife then I would have to agree.

    I loved your post. Having been to Hedo II (6) times I’m a huge fan. We started going in 2000 and just made our last trip there in late 2009. In fact we got married next door at (what was) Grand Lido, now it’s Breezes.

    I also blog about the resort and have some vintage photos and reviews. I just posted 5 Smooth Girl cover shots all taken at Hedo!

    Thanks for the good read.

    Been there twice. If we get to choose what our heaven is like when we kick, mine will be Hedo. I LOVE the place!
