TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

My husband and were here for the second time and are still loving the chilled atmosphere and relaxed lifestyle. The staff really make your stay a great experience, most of them are super fun and very attentive! There are plenty of places to chill out, either by yourself or with other people ;) and we also really enjoyed the food in all the restaurants. One recommendation I would like to make to the owners is to redesign a couple of venues to create some atmosphere. The piano bar is in big need of some sensual vibes. Unfortunately, at the moment it’s a real uncomfortable space, that does not get you into any kind of se#y mood. Some dark fabrics, small sitting booths with table lamps, plants, low background music, maybe some kinky art on the walls…. The nightclub is also starting to look very run down. In having said that, we will be back, but I’m hoping for some upgrades that will enhance the experience and get people “in the mood” !

Lily, Carmen and the staff in the Kama Sutra lounge is Amazing. Many ppl aren’t aware of the opportunity to book a regular massage or a karma sutra massage. It was my first experience and it’s highly recommended. The knowledge of the staff and patience they have is an art.

We just got home and I am already trying to plan our next trip. This place is beyond amazing. From the moment we arrived the staff and vibe were stellar. TRAVEL - we are not frequent travelers so we sprung for club mobay at the airport, however we probably won't do so again. They did get us through super quick, but when we went it wasn't that busy and wouldn't have taken very long anyway. We did not check out the mobay lounge, but heard from friends who went at the same time as us that it wasn't anything special. Worth it for first timers if your nervous going through customs, or if you are going at an especially busy time. Transport from the airport to the resort has 3 main options - a charter bus (cheapest), private cars (mid-range), and a flight option (priciest). The charter buses I believe run by all the resorts in the area so timing can vary depending on the stops they have to make. The private cars seem to be the way to go, our drivers were amazing, it is about an hour and a half drive and you get to see a lot of different parts of the island. We used Major One Tours and it was $200 round trip. We will probably try the flight option next time just for the experience. FOOD/DRINKS - Just amazing! The main dining hall does buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner - the options are vast and vary day to day. They also have two nicer restaurants, one is Italian and the other is hibachi and they were both delicious. There is also a beach grill by the nude pool which has limited options but the food is great, pizzas, grilled cheese, etc which are perfect for while you are drinking. The prude side beach grill is Flame, which was our least favorite part of the trip. It served it's purpose when you need a plate of fries or something when the buffet isn't open, but they took a really long time and none of the food we got was anything compared to the other dining options. This would be my ONLY suggestion for improvement across the entire resort. There is also a coffee bar in the main dining hall that was amazing. Obviously the liquor is included and while they have a pretty big menu of beachy cocktails they'll make anything you ask for. CLEANLINESS - I see most of the bad reviews complain about this and I feel like the staff has seen that and fixed it because almost everything was clean when we were there. They close down the pools several times each day for cleaning. They came by each morning and refilled and cleaned our patio and private hot tub. The beach was raked every morning. Walkways were tidy and had beautiful landscaping. The housekeeping was quick and thorough. Yes, they do get a crap ton of naked bodies in the pools doing all sorts of dirty things every day but honestly if that is a deal breaker for you, you should probably go someplace else anyway. The only other thing I might note is guests seem to leave their dirty dishes around and those don't always get cleaned up immediately, but really the guests should be polite and take their stuff to the bar instead of just setting it down randomly and walking away. STAFF - Honestly this was the best part of the entire trip, the staff is absolutely amazing. Everyone is SO nice, the bartenders somehow learn guests names and drink orders even though they must see hundreds of new people each week. They dining staff is so quick to clean up plates and refill drinks. Everyone who worked there was always smiling and saying hi as you passed by. I didn't see any staff members being rowdy or rude in any way. And the entertainment staff was awesome! The MCs for the shows and the performers were all a blast, you can tell they really enjoy the work they do. The fetish show on Wed night was the most fun thing I have ever seen. EVERYTHING ELSE - Honestly I could go on and on. I can see why people call this place "Home" and why they have a whole crowd of people they call Repeat Offenders. Single men were not an issue, I did not see anyone being harassed or even ogled in a disrespectful way. They do have drug dealers who walk the beach but are not allowed to come up onto the property, just ignore them or firmly tell them no and they move along. Their is a ton of security walking around who, while I didn't see them be needed at any point, I imagine would be immediately on top of any problems. I walked around by myself several times (naked) and felt completely safe. The vibe of the crowd was great, people of all shapes and sizes being comfortable was just amazing to see. The Catamaran was a really fun experience too if you want to spring for it (something like $85 per person). We kayaked in the ocean which I recommend if that's your thing. We also booked through a group which some people I met had a great experience with and some people didn't. I think the group you book with matters, so check dates and see who is going. If you don't book with a group you'll still have a blast, but it was really nice having a network of people to chat with ask questions to in the weeks leading up to the trip. Overall I recommend this place SO highly and can not wait to go back!

Amazing experience. We did the Kama Sutra retreat. Sensual , erotic and life changing The staff are wonderful Tantra massage highly recommend

It was my 2nd time at Hedo & I can honestly say this resort feels like home. Everyone is welcoming, accommodating, and a vibe. Our room and food were great & the staff is top tier. My favs are the Hedo Ent, they treated our group and other guests with care, they joked with us and ensured we enjoyed our stay.. even the nurse helped out with our injuries. Shoutout to Super Mario, Uriel, Ricardo, Omar, Krissy, Mowayne, Usain, Julisa, Shanice, Rushanie, Shanakay, Junior, Shanoya, & Fabian… for me to remember all those names just know they did their thing.. definitely plan to go back
