Kari Frank Review of hedonism 11 negril
This resort is the best bang for your buck in Negr...
This resort is the best bang for your buck in Negril. Despite it being somewhat risque, you can just make it what you want. With the exciting theme nights, excellent food and entertainment and friendly atmosphere, I'm certain everyone can find something to suit them at this resort. Price includes top shelf liquor, excellent food in the buffet and al a carte restaurants, unlimited use of the water sports (paddle boards, kayaks, hobie cats etc) and twice daily for no extra charge you can go diving and snorkeling. There is also a glass bottom boat that goes out daily, again, no additional charge. The water sports team are knowledgeable and helpful too (thank you Julian for teaching us the larger hobie and giving us a super fantastic demo). There is always a party to be found on the au naturel side and you can engage in some R & R on the clothing optional side. If you are on the au naturel side, clothing is not an option, well, in the past it wasn't, but this past trip it didn't seem to be as strictly enforced. I love that there is no cell phones or cameras allowed on this side either. The resort makes the best Jerk Chicken I've tasted in Jamaica and the most delicious pizza is served from 00-0500 at the nude pool. Line up starts before 00 if your looking to have a snack then go to bed early. There is a lot of nudity, people are very respectful for the most part, drunkenness happens but less frequently because there is a chance there will be naughty play with strangers and everyone wants to be in fine form! Play areas are clean and provide protection, would like to see personal lubricant but most people just bring their own.
Pool is, well, as clean as it can get with 100's of naked bodies drinking booze and such. Sometimes body shots are done on the pools edge. The water is treated and shocked. The best we can hope for. The ocean is very calm and shallow, in the grassy spots there could be prickly sea urchins but someone diligently relocates them to beyond the swimming area daily. Beach is clean and weed free.
I'd love to comment on the wifi but I don't think I used it once, no pockets to carry a phone around!! The experience is what you make it! If you like to be naked, do it, if you prefer tan lines, stay on the prude side and join in the fun there. It's still better than any other resort because there is zero judgement!
Rooms are a bit tired, they have updated them with new furniture and paint but the buildings are old, our room had a water leak in the roof, thankfully it was around the bathroom and leaked whenever it rained but we just lived with it and learned not to put stuff in the areas that got wet. We did tell the front desk and maintenance came to assess it but what can they do about a leaky roof? They are constantly working to keep it clean, beds are comfortable and fridge worked well. We like to stay on the top floor for noise reduction.
