Hedonism Resort Review: Day 3 Excursions & Hedo vs. Swinger Cruise

[00:00] [Ed] Welcome to day three recap here in Hito. We’re shooting the same spot. Nice jungle.
It’s we like it because it’s it’s shady and there’s some good ambiance although we’ve got a track
removing in behind us. So who knows what that is. When it makes my hair look more red and

[00:12] [Unknown] that’s always good. Every day starts with breakfast right here like you got to eat you got to

[00:21] [Ed] get prepared for the day and we’ve kind of discovered that we sit in
generally the same spot each day but we kind of switch who we’re sitting with and we’ve
met a bunch of really great people. We highly recommend whenever you’re at any of these
events that you mix your crowd up. Don’t sit with the same people all the time because
you get to experience a little bit more of your fellow guests and have some different conversation

[00:50] [Phoebe] each day. Absolutely it’s an opportunity to get to know people and you’re not shouting over music
which is typically loud at the pool and it’s typically loud when you’re in a club. The breakfast time
is really nice to have those intimate quieter conversations. We also learned from some of the
sexy couples that we met about some of their experiences here at Hito and we’re finding that
it is different pretty much each time it depends on which group you come with. Sometimes there’s no
group here but it also changes so even if you do come with the same group the experience gets
to be different. Dynamics change and situations change. A couple we had breakfast with this morning

[01:32] [Ed] was describing the two different trips that they’ve been here and the first one they were
very much into the sex and had a lot of those kinds of fun experiences but this time they’re having
a lot more social interactions and learning more about people and making stronger connections

[01:46] [Phoebe] we decided to head out on one of the free activities that they offer which is the class bottom
boat. You can also take out a kayak you can take out paddle board you can snorkel you can scuba

[02:02] [Unknown] really there’s no shortage of things to do for free they have tours as well that you can book

[02:07] [Phoebe] through the through the lobby and actually leave the resort. Yeah like excursions off the

[02:14] [Ed] facility so you can do your ATV tours you can do I have some lining. They did have some
lining okay so you think about they’ve got zip lining they’ve got all kinds of stuff even a
push cart which I hadn’t seen before so the old school rail road you know push carts. I didn’t see
that one. Yeah I saw that saw a little poster for that so that’s exciting. So first to be honest

[02:34] [Phoebe] I thought the glass bottom boat would be a little hokey but it wasn’t it was pretty cool you could
put your phone right on the glass it takes a great video and it was starfish all kinds of crazy

[02:43] [Ed] fish coral all the all the fun stuff super yeah it was pretty nice and neat they’ve got the captain

[02:51] [Unknown] in the boat you’ve got the tour guide and they took us out you would also be in that same reef if

[02:59] [Phoebe] you wanted to do the snorkeling or some diving right now let’s just say you enjoyed that so much
but you want to see more of the island kind of around where the resort is if you go back the tour
guide and captain they’re gonna remember who you are and they they’ll say oh last time we took
you to the risk reef let’s you want to see something different and you say yes boom and then they
take you to the other side like that here it’s just friendly I was I was so shocked I was like oh do
we have to tip you or pay you more and they’re like no just come back and we’ll do something different

[03:30] [Ed] get an hour of their time and you can go anywhere you want to go basically it is pretty cool

[03:34] [Phoebe] then later in the afternoon they had a Jamaican dance class describe that we think it was a cute

[03:39] [Ed] class it was it was about 20 minutes long and they they taught some basic dance moves and then at the
end we put them all together well we put some of them together and did a little dance routine and it
was just to kind of give you a flavor of what Jamaican dancing is like a little bit like line dancing
they have their signature moves they have a sponge bob angry bird yeah angry bird was another one
they were they were fun yeah it was it was a good group experience so 20 30 people all down

[04:09] [Unknown] by the beach everybody being silly and dancing and having a good time yeah it was fun after that

[04:17] [Phoebe] most people went to the pool it was cloudy that day so it was really nice kind of cool and then
it started to rain so here we are in the pool getting rained on I always love that it’s just
there’s something about it that feels luxurious people stay they got rained on we hung out in the pool
and then people usually break off about five o’clock six maybe and go take a nap they get ready for
dinner we decided to go to the Pabachi restaurant for dinner and it was okay it’s not my favorite
food typically anyway I really like the buffet because I like the variety and the different

[04:57] [Unknown] the food quality was good but it is a fixed menu there’s a couple choices in the middle but

[05:02] [Ed] for the most part everything is it’s done one particular way and that’s the meal of the day
it’s Jamaican night the live band was back playing all kinds of great reggae tunes top 40s if you will
of of reggae and Jamaican music everybody was dressed in Jamaican colors it was fun to see everybody’s
costumes and kind of how they interpreted that so a lot of crochet knitted net clothing it was

[05:30] [Phoebe] a fabulous night and once again music you said little out people had to kind of go outside because
it was hurting their ears bring your plugs it ended up working out that most people had already
moved outside when they transitioned because the fire show was outside right right as it should be
so everyone moved to the beach and there was what for performers yeah for performers in Jamaican

[05:54] [Ed] night here is typically done outside all the way down at the beach so the whole thing the food the
entertainment the fire dancers that’s usually done at the beach we had a lot of rain that day and
they were concerned about the show getting rained out so they did half in and half out what’s nice

[06:11] [Phoebe] is that they they can shift and readjust and it’s always still a very good experience for everybody

[06:17] [Unknown] we have to change locations because it’s a little fun a little melty in the sun I could

[06:22] [Ed] blew my face out I’m already pale and I think bright sunlight doesn’t help all right so here’s a

[06:27] [Phoebe] little midweek recap of what’s a little different between resort versus cruise vacations made
surfaces a little bit different you get it twice a day on a cruise depending on which package
you’ve chosen you may get from flowers chocolates champagne it’s a little more upskill in that regard
but I will say it probably depends on the resort too the other thing that I like on a cruise that’s
different here even though you may be with 3,000 6,000 people you end up running into them all the time
here the grounds are massive and you do have main gathering areas and you have a main pool that
you’re hanging out at but the beach is huge it feels like I don’t see the same people all the time

[07:17] [Ed] I think part of the reason we run into people all the time on cruises are the same group of
people because we’re on the same schedule sleep patterns and breakfast patterns and things like
that tend to control or dictate where you are different times of the day on the cruises we tend
not to be pool people but here at the resort we’ve actually been a little bit more pool oriented

[07:38] [Unknown] right because that’s daily activity unless you want to go about doing your own thing which

[07:43] [Phoebe] you’re certainly welcome to do one of the areas of Hito that is cool where I could see where people
engage or interact with each other more frequently is on the nude side they have like a courtyard
a bank of rooms you really do get to see each other come and go and you can kind of congregate

[08:02] [Ed] we’re a little bit more on the edge we’re on the crude side and our room door faces can’t
outside of the complex we can look out our windows and see the the cycle guard walkway area
but we don’t usually see many people except for walking to and from the main social areas the
activities that we’ve experienced so far here at Hito tend to be centralized activities at
different times of the day and it’s all the same activities on the ship I think there’s more
variety of things to go and do but that also means that you may or may not run into the same
people all the time at those particular thing I think also what could be happening to is that on

[08:44] [Phoebe] on a boat most people do not have their phones like in the old school days when you didn’t
when we didn’t have cell phones yeah you were where you said you were going to be and so it’s
kind of nice here you have Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi is actually really great I would say the cruise has
bettering entertainment they have a larger budget to do that to bring in top comedians top performers
aquabats things of that nature you get a four-page booklet pamphlet of the daily activities there’s
other options that you have on a cruise ship you could rent the penthouse if you wanted to which
means you get your own designated staff to help you unpack some of the floors that you book a room
on also have their own designated restaurant where you never need a reservation you just walk in
I would say the two-hour ride to get here if you don’t take the puddle jumper which you can

[09:46] [Unknown] a little what two-seater four-seater biplane on over did you know you could do that no oh yeah you can

[09:53] [Phoebe] used to be really affordable like $250 now it’s up to 500 I mean that may be affordable for some
people right but recently it’s increased in price and you’re here in like at 20 minutes I may
be exaggerating but it’s really short compared to the two-hour drive if you want to do the two-hour
drive I recommend not doing the bus to private transports a little nicer a little more relaxing
they give you some pre-bear and drinks and but then the bus has advantages also because then you

[10:21] [Ed] can chat with people and get to know them we were lucky we arrived at the same time as some of our
friends and so we chartered the van together and so we did have we had some built-in friends

[10:33] [Phoebe] for the trip which made it really nice and pleasant and short yeah but when you’re doing a cruise

[10:40] [Unknown] you don’t have that you just fly in the night before we’re in so in in our opinion this is

[10:46] [Ed] limited opinion because we’ve we’ve been to Hito once the cruise so far is a little bit better bang
for our buck but we’re not done with the week we’re only midweek at this point so who knows the rest
of the week may just completely blow us away we’re still leaning towards cruises being more our thing
if you’ve done nothing but resorts and have never considered doing a cruise absolutely try it out
we finally took our own advice and got to a resort to be able to compare and contrast and
kind of give ourselves that that alternative experience everyone who we’ve talked to who have
been to Hito one to 20 30 times really loves Hito yes so that’s not generally people come once
and then leave and they have a bad experience most people we haven’t heard anybody say that they’ve
had a bad experience here they say it’s different each time but that they love this resort they love
the experience and they have a fantastic time about it now a lot of those couples haven’t ever been

[11:47] [Phoebe] on a cruise either correct most people have not I’m surprised yeah right is a spice of life absolutely

[11:54] [Ed] especially in the swingers all right well that’s our our wrap for today and tune in for the next
episode will give you more juicy details about Hito till next time oh one last thing before you go
