The Naked Truth About Hedonism II: A Naughty but Nice Guide to Jamaica's All-Inclusive, Very Adult Resort

Rating:
Summary: A definitive and fun guide to the #1 Caribbean resort
Review: "Naked" and "truth" aren't just catchy words in the title here. As the copyeditor of this book, I can say this is one fun and funny guide to Hedonism, without sacrificing tons of practical details about the place. And we're not just talking where to get a good meal. We're talking how to fashion a stunning ensemble from your bedsheet for weekly Toga Night, how to win friends and influence people talking w/ naked strangers, how to just really let your hair down (among other things) and have a truly unforgettable vacation in an unforgettable Jamaican resort. Santilli is the hands-down Queen of Hedo, having been there 40+ times, and knows literally every titillating detail about the social mores of the place--like a very cool, sex-savvy Jane Austen! Jaw-dropping anecdotes from people of all ages and backgrounds (and bodies, by the way), great photos, and lots of personal stories make this book stand out from any other travel guide I've seen--and having traveled all over the world, that's saying a lot. Written to appeal to people at one with their nakedness: no shy types need apply. If you've got a great sense of fun and want a book that's both a great read (you might feel like you're privvy to one sexy diary at some points) and a truly helpful, insider's no-holds-barred view, "The Naked Truth about Hedonism II" is it. This book and sunscreen are all you need to become a true Hedonist! Let the games begin!

Summary: A must read for anyone interested in Hedonism II
Review: A funny, honest look at this world class resort. A pleasure to read. Best read laying naked on the beach, sipping a Tall, Cold, Dirty Bannana.

Summary: Describes the indescribable!
Review: After fifteen years of returning to "Hedo", I had given up on ever being able to accurately describe the experience to others. This book does it for me. It is a must read for those who are considering a vacation there! Very well written, it will both entertain and inform those who have only heard rumours about the experience, Readers who have been there will greatly enjoy the author's lively descriptions of the uninhibited antics, knowing fullwell that they are every Hedo happenings. If only Kenneth Starr had read this book five years ago! I'm awaiting the sequel - maybe there is hope yet.

Summary: This book reveals the truth about this party resort
Review: As a regular visitor to Hedonism II and a member of one of their party groups, I couldn't put this book down. Chris captures the truth essence of this party resort. Novices will find all the answers to their questions (and information they can use to persuade their spouse that Hedonism should be their next vacation spot). Seasoned veterans will recognize the beach games and stories from some of the wildest weeks at Hedo. If you think there is no place where you would vacation time and time again, you haven't been to Jamaica and Hedonism II.

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining as well as informative
Review: As a repeat guest of Hedonism II, I really did not need a "guide" to the resort. But I thought I'd read the book to see the resort from a different perspective. I found the book to be enlightening, accurate, funny and quite interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has been, or has ever thought of going to Jamaica.

Summary: Required reading for those who wish to know about Hedonism
Review: As a travel guide "The Naked Truth About Hedonism II" is right on the mark. It is a book which is both fun to read and very practical at the same time. Ms. Santilli provides the first time visitor with a wealth of very practical information about this most unusual of resorts. Look here to find out what to bring, what to buy, what to wear (and not wear), what to do, etc. It should be required reading for the first timer. For those who have been to Hedonism II it is a welcome reminder of past experiences and people. It contains numerous tales of visitors experiences and opinions. The book, and the hotel, are for the open minded. Be warned that some will object to the detailed discussion of nudity, sex, drinking, etc. For them reading this book will help them avoid what will probably be their idea of a 'vacation in hell'. The only problem with 'The Naked Truth About Hedonism II' are the photos. Many of them are too dark (low contrast). This book is recommended reading for those going to Jamaica.

Summary: A beginners guide to Hedonism II
Review: As head of a 30 couple group that goes to Hedonism yearly for the past 14 years, I have found the book to be of great help to first time visitors. A lot of the information is close to what I give to people who ask me about the resort and what to exspect when they arrive. Now when I am asked I tell them the best thing to do is to buy the book. It is packed with just about everything you need for an enjoyable stay at Hedonism II.
