There are different options for rooms ranging in price. The resort has rooms on both the "nude" and "prude" side. The nude side is adjacent to the nude beach and/or the nude pool, and clothing is not permitted in those areas (except coming and going to your room).The prude side is clothing optional. See our costs page for details. The rooms right on the beach (Ocean view) are a little more expensive than the Garden View rooms, which are just behind those rooms and really not much further from the beach.
Room Types - So Many Choices! Which Should You Choose?
Ocean View v. Garden View:
Ocean View rooms are located on the beach.
Garden View rooms are located just behind the Ocean View rooms.
Au Natural (Aka "Nude") Rooms vs. Clothing Optional (aka "Regular" or "Prude"):
Nude rooms are adjacent to the nude beach and nude pool. If you are hanging out in the nude beach area of the nude side, you must be nude, but you do not have to be nude to walk to and from your room (whether you are walking on the beach or on a path on the non-beach side).
"Regular" or "Prude" rooms are on the "Prude" side, which is clothing optional. At Hedo, "prude" is simply a non-derogatory term for "clothing optional."
The entire resort with only a few exceptions (e.g. the main lobby, office, shops, and most restaurants) is clothing optional (See this article and this article for more info on nudity and sex-positivity at the resort).
The rooms on the nude side are sometimes called "Au Natural" or "Nude Rooms", so you may see them called things like Ocean View Au Natural or Ocean View Nude, which are the same thing. The acronyms usually use the "N", so an Ocean View Au Natural would be: "OVN".
The rooms on the clothing optional/prude side are called "Clothing Optional" or "Regular" Rooms", so you may see them called things Garden View Clothing Optional or Garden View Regular , which are the same thing - i.e. the prude side. So a Garden View Clothing Optional room would be: "GVR" or "GVCO".
Classic vs. Premium:
Most rooms are the "classic" rooms, which have renovated or improved as of 2019.
More expensive "premium" rooms are also available, which are rooms that have been renovated to be a little nicer with glass-walled showers opening up into the room. Some have their own private hot tubs or doors that open to the beach. There are only a small number of premium and hot tub rooms.
Hot Tub Rooms:
Classic rooms that have hot tubs:
-NBJ (Ocean View Au Natural Hot Tub Terrace)
-PBJ (Clothing Optional Ocean View Hot Tub Terrace ).
Premium rooms that have hot tubs:
- PBJP (Clothing Optional Ocean View Hot Tub Terrace Premium)
- GNJP (Garden View Au Natural Hot Tub Terrace Premium)
