It was so good to be back home at Hedo again this year! Prices seem a little higher this year, what with inflation and the Canadian-American exchange rate, so instead of our usual hot tub room, we got an "Ocean View Au Natural Premium" (OVNP) room for a little less (there are less expensive room types, as well). This was on the second floor, with a slightly larger bathroom than a non-premium room, with two sinks and lighted mirrors. And it has a large, gorgeous, private balcony with a couple of outdoor sofas and an end table. We really enjoyed the balcony! We read there, I exercised, we, uh, spent quality time together. ;) I think we'll likely book this room type again. One big difference from previous years was that the room had a dehumidifier unit on the floor. It was fairly loud, although we got used to it quickly. It seemed to be necessary, because when it turned off (when the bucket was full), the windows and even the floor got wet with condensation. I didn't think to ask any other guests whether they also had dehumidifiers or whether it was just our room. Housekeeping emptied it daily, but so did I a couple of times, depending on when it filled up. As usual, the food and the entertainment were spectacular. We packed costumes for every theme night in the week and thoroughly enjoyed the parties, particularly Tuesday's Glow Rave and Thursday's foam party. The food was so tempting that we again limited ourselves to two meals a day so we didn't feel too stuffed! We also made good use of the well equipped, on-site gym almost every day. The vibe at Hedo depends very much on who's there. There were two groups there during our week. We weren't with either group, but were welcome at most of their events, including poolside parties during the day and a few evening events in between Hedo's own in-house entertainment events. They definitely amped up the energy and the sexiness. No matter who's there, Hedo's staff, from housekeeping to maintenance to wait staff, are consistently friendly and polite, greeting you every time you pass by. I think it rubs off on the guests, because we all greeted each other, too. We had a beach-side couples massage and took the sunset cruise to Rick's Café and back. Both are an extra cost, but we highly recommend these experiences. Sadly, the Kama Sutra Palace wasn't open yet, but I hear it will be in April. We hope it's open for our next trip! Hedo has a no-tipping policy, but they encourage reviewers to mention any staff who made our stay better. Here are some we made note of this trip: - A cleaner in the women's washroom at the main dining room, who's first name might start with K and who's last name was Ellis-something. My wife says she was friendly and interesting. - Paula and Valerie from housekeeping - Uriel in the lobby, who helped find our Club Hedo swag - Shaun, possibly a groundskeeper, who let my wife call him "Shauny-boy" because that's what she calls her brother, and who was extremely friendly and helpful
