Going to the Clubs at night with the Staff

Club prices are running between $40-50 USD. That includes 1 way transportation to the club, bypassing the line, all your drinks while at the club, and being taken to a spot reserved for the Temptation folks.

Once there you're basically on your on in the club and for getting back to the resort. The benefits of going out with the Staff to the club is that you are walking into the bar with anywhere from 40-120 other guests from the resort as opposed to walking in on your own. If you have ever gone to a new bar at home by yourself, you know the feeling and how much walking in with friends makes a difference.

Sometimes the staff stays around for a while stirring things up and sometimes they don't. The night they take people to the club is usually the night before their day off. They usually work 12-14 hours days, 6 days a week so they have to get everything else done on their one day off. If they don't have a lot to do, maybe they can party for a while, otherwise early to bed, early to rise.

There are a couple of other options; one is the Party Hopper Tour (available through the Cancun Tours word link at the bottom of the page and then Night Tours). This runs $65 per person and hits the Congo Bar, Sr. Frogs, and the City all in one night. If you have a limited time and want to see several bars in one night, this might be the route. But you only get a limited time at each bar so if you start having fun you might not want to move on but you have too.

Another option is to go down to the bar zone on your own and hit all the minor clubs. Clubs like Mextreme that is a bar/restaurant, the Congo Bar, Corona Bar, Slices, DOS XX, Ultra, etc. These bars are open air bars that you can see what's going on from the street for the most part. The also have all you can drink prices for about $15 per person. Here you can also pay by the drink too if you want to go that route. If you do this, form your own gang to go with so you have someone walking in with you. Makes it more fun. You might start out for a couple of hours and end up watching the sunrise from your bar stool.

Booking Tours
There are several ways to book Tours at Temptation.

The first way is through the Entertainment Plus link at the bottom of the page. You can book your tours in advance and have the option to change your mind while you are there. Check when making your reservations on the cancelation policies to be in the know but don’t be afraid to look at this option. Prices are as good as or better than you can get there.

The second way would be with the guys from Albatross Tours in the Towel Hut by the Sexy Pool. One good thing about the tours sold here are that if it is at all possible they only take people from Temptation so you get to party with the same folks you’re hanging at out at the pool with.

Some of Albatross’ tours are:

Isla Mujeres Snorkel Tour – Tuesdays and Thursdays - $59 (plus $5 reef tax and $10 open bar at lunch)
Open Bar on the boat, Snorkeling, Encounter with a shark, Free time on Isla for shopping, Buffet Lunch, Parasail Spinakker, Runs 10 AM to 5 PM.

Temptation Party Cruise (aka Friday Night Booze Cruise) – Fridays - $45
Open bar on board the boat as it sails around the Lagoon for 2 hours, Buffet Dinner at Carlos & Charlie’s with 2 more hours of open bar, and Free admission to The City or transportation back to the hotel.

Jungle Tour – Daily - $66
Drive speed boats around the jungle and discover an amazing coral reef. 2 ½ hour adventure, includes snorkeling equipment, a bottle of purified water, leaves right from the hotel, goes out daily at 10, 12:30 and 3 PM

Chichen Itza VIP Tour – Thursdays - $79
Trip inland to see the ruins at Chichen Itza. 13 people maximum on the tour, 2 hour ride each way, Guided tour at the Pyramids, Lunch, chance to swim in a cenote. Runs from *;30 Am – 6:30 PM

Wave Runners - $40 for 30 minutes

Parasailing – 1 or 2 people at a time - $40

The other ways are with the Travel Agency in the lobby of the hotel or with the Travel Agency you came down with. These are not always the best options as their prices tend to be a little to a lot higher.

THANKS!!

This list will come in VERY handy! We leave Saturday!!!!

 

Hi Jamie, You posted that at 10:30 they take you to a club everynight. We are virgins to the place. How much do they charge to take you there and instead of doing that everynight would it be better to take the party bus tour to a few clubs in one night. I know some people had mentioned the party tour thing before.

 

Thanks Jamie,

First timers visiting in just over two weeks very useful information.
