we just came back yesterday with occupancy at an all time low while we were there, the managemement closed the entire prude side including all the rooms, reggae cafe, prude beach bar, and put everyone on the nude side (less than 80 guests total all week), the good news is we spent lots of time in the nude pool, beach, and hot tub(a first for us),and naked waterslide was fun, fun, fun! met lots of great people too, the rooms all had nice new a/c units that were much apreciated, The bad news, they alternated nights for japanese and italian resturants, with limited hours to boot, and the reggae cafe never opened! less than 80 guests and it was hard to get a reservation, they stopped reservations at 8:30, the buffet turned to an alacart menu for lunch and dinner with the same limited selection everyday, they cut back the staff throughout the resort as well, for a few days only winston and dean were around, thanks to you winston you are a hoot. most of the amenities we love so much were gone , hedo 2 you messed up badly, with so few of us there you had the chance to shine, so maybe next september during this hurricane season more people would show up for that special service and business would increase, but you instead went the other way, and we all left feeling cheated. Will we return to hedo 2 for the 4th time yes, but never again in september. I plan on writing the GM dont know where thatll go, but Ill post again. Id like to hear from anyone else who there 9/16-9/23 or there abouts, by the way thanks to all who made our trip fun anyway. jay and judi

My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful vacation to Jamaica. We spent the greatest 11 days at Hedonism II in Negril. This trip was not our first to H2, and it will certainly not be our last. Why? Because a trip to Hedo is a breath of fresh air to my wife and I who desperately need that fresh air. And the trip was an opportunity to not only spend time at one of the finest resorts in Jamaica, but also an opportunity to renew friendships, and begin new friendships that will last for our lifetimes. From the moment of our arrival until the moment of our departure, we became part of something greater and more exciting than can be found any other place on earth. We became a part of the Hedonism II extended family. Yes, that means we were treated as if, and really felt like, we were a part of the Hedonism II family. In reality we were family for those 11 days.

Our accommodation at Hedonism II was comfortable, clean, and inviting, with a comfortable king bed and an incredible shower. The Oceanview room provided a stunning view of one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. The view was especially breathtaking at mid mornings, and at night.

Unlike some resorts, the food was both plentiful and delicious. My wife and I have never experienced so many delicious food choices as were available on the buffet in the Main Dining room. All we tasted were fabulous! And then there were the two specialty restaurants – Munihana and Pastifari. Munihana served us great Japanese style steak and seafood cuisine, while our favorite, Pastifari, served us great Italian style cuisine with a Jamaican twist. The Jamaican twist is always good.

Were we entertained? Yes, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left! The entertainment staff at H2 did not just present daily entertainment, but were present, outgoing, and available around the clock. The entertainers (who are called coordinators) went out of their way to meet us, greet us, eat with us, come to know us, and make us really feel like family. They nurtured us to both relax and enjoy, and at the same time encouraged us to take part in the many activities that Hedo offers.

Each and every employee we met and came to know really went out of their way to make us feel right at home. They actually cared about our stay, and wanted to get to know us better. By day three most of them knew our names.

Hedonism is fortunate to have a great and gifted team of chefs, wait staff, bar staff, pool staff, dive staff, room staff, groundskeepers, and support staff. Each of them cared equally about the quality of our stay and made it a point to attend to even our smallest of needs (which were few). A few names and faces we will never forget and look forward to seeing again include Delroy, Scumba, Anna, Grace, Paulette, Michelle, Rosalyn, Agustus, Karl, Anthony, Charlie, Geraldine, Christine, Winston, and Dotsy.

More than anything else, the trip was a “cleansing” experience. It was time to relax, enjoy, shake the cobwebs from our “tormented” minds, and to enjoy life as a person should enjoy life.

Hedonism is so pleasingly unique and quite different from other resorts. It is full of smiles & caring people. Our time at Hedo was a time to enjoy a freshly picked mango and a freshly picked water coconut given to us by a Jamaican friend. It was a time to eat great food. It was a time to enjoy a beautiful beach, and swim in beautiful pools. It was a time to walk up to the bar and find a drink already poured because your friend the bartender knew what you wanted even before you asked for it.

And we will never be able to express enough thanks to Hotel Manager Lorna Clarke for her great smile, caring personality, and all the assistance she provided us in arranging our reservation. She is a jewel!

So… if you choose Jamaica and do not choose Hedonism II… shame on you! You will not find a more lovely, comfortable, exciting, and accommodating venue on the island. It will be a holiday to remember for life, and by your second visit you will be calling Hedonism II “home”.

My wife and I are eagerly awaiting our next trip “home”.

It was our first time at Hedo II and an all inclusive.. WELL the resort and staff could not have been better. The food was excellent and the drinks top shelve... the wine served at dinner was excellent and the wait staff very attentive If you do go you have got to have the jerk chicken out of this world. The resort grounds where kept immaculate .and the room was just fine. Hot water and clean... The staff very frendly and helpful.. to further tell you more i have the unpleasant experience of stepping on a sea urchin.. the staff nurse was most helpful and had the burs out of my foot in no time ... NO she did not pee on my foot !!!! she instead used vinagar and the stinging was gone, very competent nurse.. And now the nude side was a great experience and felt very comfortable. My wife just went topless and that was just fine, i went nude... i know just like a man!!!! so all in all it was a very good experience and i would go back again and again... Just a wonderful experience... they deserve a pat on the back for a job VERY well done..... could not have asked for a better resort to go to.. i would be willing to give this hotel and the staff forget the 5 stars more like 20 stars !!!!!....

First of all this was our (my husband and I) 7th trip HOME. We love everything about Hedo II. Even through we are not into the swinging scene, we always feel welcome and have made many friends that are members of groups. This year we did have a little trouble getting towels, but the staff was very helpful trying to get as many towels as possible. It does make a difference when the resort is booked full. Another one of my favorite things traveling the 4th is the Parade to Sandals. It is sooo much fun to see how many we can CONVERT to the dark side (haha). Like I said before the food is great, the staff is outstanding, the beach is clean and a fun place to hang out. Yes it is an older resort and it does have some minor problems, but, I will stay there again. Actually, recervations are already made for 2009, same week.
