Book Description

April 1998
This naughty but nice guide to Jamaica's all-inclusive, very adult resort tells what to except at Hedonism II and how to make the most of it.

All the naked and silly stories are true, and you'll laugh till you wet your undies.

(If you didn't cleverly forget them again.)

Learn about the antics that keep guests returning to Hedonism II, an all-inclusive Jamaican resort, giving it the highest repeat-guest counts of any Caribbean hotel.

The Naked Truth About Hedonism II tells you what to expect at this unique resort and how to make the most of a vacation there. You'll learn the myths, the truths, and the tips that will make your vacation to Hedonism II the best trip you'll ever take-again and again. Warning: Don't sip a soda pop while reading this book. The bubbles will burn your nostrils as the drink shoots out your nose.

The Myths: Only young singles go to Hedonism II. People walk around naked everywhere. Open sex is rampant. Someone will try to steal your wife.

Every myth has its truths...but Hedonism II is 50% couples-and most guests are over 30, full nudity is only allowed on one beach, the hotel does not permit public sex, and your wife-well, that's her choice. But at Hedonism II you will see what you've never seen before...And you might do it too!

Guests of Hedonism II experiment with whatever they consider exotic: be it swinging on the trapeze, floating naked on a raft, or dancing on the stage in a bed sheet in front of 500 people. The hotel is an adult kid camp where friends meet time after time.

The Naked Truth About Hedonism II revealqs the real rules of the hotel-and there are only three of them. It tells how to handle the public erection (don't handle it!) and where to find beer at 7 a.m. before the bars open.

You'll laugh at the many "Tales from the Naked City"-the pages are chock-full of stories to keep you grinning about the man with the sheep, the games on the nude beach (well beyond ring toss), and the young men on their quest for an exchange of bodily fluids.

The 189-page softcover book is 51/2 by 81/2 inches with 26 black-and-white photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Candid & Complete; Fun & Informative, March 19, 2000
By 
Simoneau (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Naked Truth About Hedonism II (Mass Market Paperback)
This book lives up to its name, but don't judge it by its cover. "The Naked Truth..." takes readers by the hand and leads them down the pebbled paths that wind through the resort with arguably the most devoted clientele in the world: Hedonism II. The cover of this book shows stick figures frolicking along. Perhaps this is because without spending time at Hedonism, you can only get a brief outline of what this magical place has in store. The people who go to "Hedo," however, are very real. Ms.Santilli does an accurately delightful job of communicating this. Guests there come from all walks of life to revel in their own individuality and sexuality, and to celebrate these qualities in the people around them. If you are a 'repeat offender' counting days until your next trip to Negril, buy this book to read on the airplane and to possibly recount your own HedoTales. If you enjoyed Hedonism once and can not wait to go back, buy this book to read in between calls to your travel agent. If you are considering a first trip to Hedo II, buy this book - it does indeed live up to its name and is worth every dime. Truly 5 stars, and a definite 2 thumbs up; Ms. Santilli bares it with the very best, writing with a very sexy style. Buy this book, then buy any sequel, then buy them all for your friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars good info for any all inclusive vacation, March 30, 2004
By 
ridelife (soddy daisy, tn United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the first travel book I've read that didn't put me into a coma. Each page I laughed. Each page I learned. This book supplied the answers to the questions unasked. Woodies, Wallys, (...) checks for toilet paper, floating members (hell, I've had one all my life and didn't realize it floats), etiquette, all inclusive tipping and much more. I realize how little I knew when I first vacationed "all inclusive". This book isn't just for those interested in Hedo Resorts, Jamaica, or any all inclusive vacation; This book can stand alone for "a good read". I must return to Jamaica to put my new found knowledge to work.... They need me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for those who wish to know about Hedonism, May 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Naked Truth About Hedonism II (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
