Don't
Tip:
Super Clubs has
a no tipping policy and you really don't have
to tip to expect excellent service from
the staff. In fact,
if they are found accepting tips they can lose their job.
Treat everyone there
with respect and a smile and you'll be
overwhelmed by outstanding service. Treat them as
servants
and it could be long time between drinks. Small
gifts are appropriate for outstanding service and
this could
include simple things such as school supplies for children, personal
care items, etc. Be
sure to include a note of thanks so
the management knows the item was a gift.
If you leave the
resort, tipping is expected for people such as tour operators or
taxi and bus drivers.
Don't waste time:
Go to the nude side as soon after your arrival as you can,
and jump right in. You'll find that is where
the fun is and
most of the people are. Don't worry about how you'll look,
because you'll see all ages,
and shapes, and no one really cares
about size, scars, etc. If you wait until you feel "comfortable" about being nude to try it, you might waste several days
of fun. You'll feel nervous for about 15
minutes at the
most. Regardless of whether you are strikingly
beautiful/handsome, or "butt ugly",
people only care about how
you conduct yourself and whether you are a nice person or not.
In Jamaica..it is all about respect.
Get involved:
You can get involved in as many activities as
you choose or merely be an observer. Our experience
has
been that the more you get involved, the more fun you will have. It
also is the only way to get
"Hedo Bucks" to trade in for Jamaican
Rum. Remember that whatever happens at Hedo stays at Hedo,
so you
can try lots of new things and not worry about what your neighbors/
family/ friends think.
Dress:
This
is a funny topic for a "clothing optional" resort, but it is
reality. Clothing is required in all of
the restaurants and
other "public" areas. It does not have to be formal, but
"strategic" areas must
be covered. Shirts must be worn in the
restaurants.

Theme
night dress:
The only
night that there is really a dress code is Toga night. No sheet...no
eat...no Bull Sheet. Other nights will
depend on the group at
the resort. Most people dress in nice (but sometimes erotic) resort
wear for dinner and then
return to their rooms to dress for the
theme party later. The disco opens at 11:00 PM, so you have
plenty of time.
Some people will dress in costume for
dinner. PJ Night requires sleepwear for entry into the Disco
before 1:00 AM.
Bring essentials with you:
Review the list of "Things to Bring" and see
what applies to you. Remember this is not your home town, and
you can't
run over to Wal-Mart if you forgot some item.
The gift shop has some items if you do forget them, but the cost can
be
very HIGH.
Photos and cameras:
Be careful about photography. Most people
do not want their pictures taken by someone they do not know.
Cameras are
not allowed on the nude side, but if you want to have
some photos of the place and each other, visit the area early in
the
morning when no one is there, and security will usually let
you snap away.
If you leave your camera in your room with the air
conditioning on, make sure you take it out of the room long
before
You plan to use it, as it will fog up the lens. It will
sometimes render a video camera useless, due to moisture
build-up.
This is not a good thing when you are having a
wedding.
Personal items:
Keep an eye on your personal belongings, such as a
camera, and room key,
as they can grow legs and walk
away.
You are at a resort, but it is just like anyplace that you
go. WATCH YOUR VALUABLES!! Keep your passport, return
tickets, credit cards, cash, and other important items locked in
your room safe. Remember....better safe then sorry. The safes are controlled by a pass code entered
by you rather than by a key. Be sure to remember your pass code as the resort
will charge to open the safe if you forget it.
Pools...hint..hint:
Where there is a sign saying "NO DIVING". believe it. It says it for a reason, and you do
not want to shorten your
vacation. The pools are shallow. The step at the nude hot tub can be very
slippery. Be very careful getting in. The
nude pool also has a
slope in it that is very slippery, and you can slip and go under
water very quick. Hold up your drink
and save it from the grasp
of the pool. Be careful on the underwater bar stools as the edges
of the tile are sharp in
some places.
Restaurants:
Munasan and Pastasfari restaurants require that you make dinner reservations
at the Guest Services
desk. This service is available up to 24 hours in
advance.
Local Travel:
If decide to take a
tour, be sure to book it with the Tour Desk in the lobby. For
local shopping in Ocho Rios or a trip to Margaritaville, you may
just want to go on your own, so check with the Bellmen in the lobby
for a taxi. Be sure to discuss the fee with the driver
BEFORE you get into the vehicle. If you are downtown and
need to get a taxi back to the resort, you can hail one in Ocho Rios
easily, but be careful of "Gypsy" cabs that are unlicensed and
unsanctioned. Before you get into a cab, be sure that it has a
RED license plate and that it has a large square yellow sticker on
the windshield that is marked in bold letters with JTB which
stands for Jamaican Tourist Board approved. These are actually
licensed and approved by the Jamaican government.
Leaving:
You will receive a letter under your door from the front desk on the day prior
to departure listing the time that you must have your bags outside your room for
pick-up and the time for your bus. Don't be late as the bus will not wait
and you may wind up being late for your flight. The front desk staff confirms your
reservation and flight times directly with your airline.
DO
NOT BE IN A HURRY
One thing to
remember, is that you are in Jamaica, and everything is...
"SOON
COME MON"
