Publisher's summary

Discover the naughty, exotic, and erotic truths about why Hedonism II sports the highest repeat guest rate of any Caribbean resort and how to get in on the action!

Imagine having the scandalous inside information for making the most of a trip to the adult vacation destination Hedonism II - or just listening to the dirty details for a fantasy trip. What happens in Jamaica, stays in Jamaica.... Except in this cheeky guide to the world’s naughtiest resort, Hedonism II. Debauchery, alcohol, nude beaches, orgies - an unforgettable waterfront getaway awaits the adventurous traveler looking for sex, sand, and fun in the sun!

Is Hedonism II a retirement home for worn-out swingers? A testosterone tour-de-force with too few women to clamor over? A cult that sucks away all your vacation time? Well, the last one might be true. Cleverly disguised as adults, resort guests are the people your parents warned you about. Their all-inclusive Jamaican beach vacation titillates with days they can't remember - but with friends they can't forget. Virgins and repeat offenders alike will have tears running down their legs from this collection of advice, anecdotes, and adventures.

The Naked Truth About Hedonism II are chock-full of stories that keep you grinning about mishaps in the huge nude hot tub, games on the nude beach (beyond ring toss), and folks on a quest for a heated eternity. After a trip to Hedo, you’ll come home with stories you can’t tell vanilla friends, sand where you least expect it, and the widest smile ever.

The author, Chris Santilli, an award-winning freelance writer and inveterate naked gal, has visited Hedonism II over 60 times since March 1985. She holds a BS in photojournalism from Northern Illinois University, an MS in magazine journalism from Syracuse University, and a MLIS (Master of Library & Information Science) from Dominican University. This third edition reflects the evolution of the resort, its guests and ambiance since the book's second edition update in 2010 (still available in print and ebook).

Learn why Hedonism II guests keep coming back for more sexy, silly fun every year and a neighboring resort posted a warning sign between the properties. Get your copy of The Naked Truth About Hedonism II today!

Fun and Informative. Want to pack our bags now!

For this review, I am considering both the Kindle e-book and the Audible audiobook versions.
If you were ever curious about the infamous Hedonism II resort in Negril, Jamaica, then Chris Santilli has you covered...or uncovered as the case may be. This book (320+ pages traditional paperback, nearly 11 hours audio) covers pretty much everything a Hedo virgin (and folks returning "home") need to know.
The guide is fun and easy to listen to/read, covering a wide variety of topics. In particular, the dos and don'ts of Jamaica's biggest clothing-optional resort.
There is an overview of the resort, it's features and attractions. A little bit of history on the resort and the current owner which I found interesting. Lots of great background on the various goings on there as well.
This 3rd Edition was current as of the end of 2018. Santilli paints such a vivid picture that I feel like I can picture the resort (at least) in my head. But I also know enough to know that what ever picture that is it doesn't come close to the reality. That would be the fault of the current reviewer and not of the author of the book.
Important things covered are some pragmatic ones. How much money to bring, how many clothes should you pack (her advice here is great!), and of course how to deal with the no-tipping policy while at the resort.
Other important topic include what the bars and restaurants are like (it is a vacation after all) and the various pools, hot-tubs, and spa areas.
No though goes to Hedonism II just for the bars and pools. Sandals next door can do that. You come here for the party atmosphere and the people.
Let me pause and make one clear that Santilli did a WONDERFUL job of and worth the price of the book alone. Hedonism II isn't just about the wild parties, nudity, or frequent open sex. Yes it is about those, but none of that happens without the key ingredient and that is the people. Santilli's message about how great the people are came through loud and clear and what has really sold me on the idea of going there. I have been to resorts in Jamaica. I was even married at one. But this book makes this place feel special.
Ebook perks: The e-book has full-color pictures of the resort and some guests, taken with permission. All of the websites are also hotlinked so you can check them out right away. Since this book was out near the end of 2018 some sites are down or gone; this is not unexpected. The author also has her own website with more up to date links and information.
Audiobook perks: The music at the end of sections does put you in an island mood (I had to pick up some Red Stipes for home after listening) and is not as bad as some music on audiobooks. The various and changing narrators also give the book the feel of "we are here for the people" vibe, with different voices chiming in and helping out with the various sidebars ("Tales from the Naked City"). Bonus the tree frogs, which are linked in the Kindle book, are played on the audiobook. Nice touch, really.
I grabbed this book because the author was so highly recommended to me and I can say that the recommendations actually fell a little short of how good this guide is.
While reading/listening, I went through various stages of "maybe we can go." to "no. there is no way we are going." to "well, maybe it is good." to finally "OMG, we need to pack now and get on a plane!"
Thank you, Chris Santilli, for such a delightful read! Can't wait to pack our bags.

Fun with nudity

I learned a lot about Hedo, but I would not like sex with strangers. I sounds like Hedo is addicting.

Great Guide for First Timers!

I found this book after booking our first stay at Hedo but prior to going.
If you're a Hedo virgin like myself, this book will answer 99% of your questions and concerns, and at least once of the cited resources will more than cover that last 1 % ❤️

My dream vacation

Some really funny stories. Mostly info on how to have a great experience at Hedo. For me just the book poured fuel on a fire that will only ever be able to afford the resort in northern Indiana. How I wish I could visit Hedo II.
