    Apologies in advance if these queries have been done to death

    I am a 40yo old re-single male. I am looking for a lively atmosphere and I am open-minded but not predatory. How single male friendly is Temptation?

    I don't have a credit card and would be booking via a local travel agent and bringing travellers' cheques. How easy is it to cash tcs in cancun? Can I provide a cash/tc deposit instead of a credit card imprint when booking in? (I did try e-mailing reservations about thar but no reply.)

    Thanks in advance.

    tre is all inclusive , you don't need that much cash unless your going to go clubbing.
    You can always get a pre loaded visa card.
    TTR has been single male single traveller friendly in the past. You should have no problems.
    Join some threads of the time you are going, pre-meet some people
    Have fun

    If you're freindly and jump right in there and talk ro people, you will have a great time. If you have a debit card I would use that to get cash. We usually just bring cash and if we need more then we use the ATM. Bring ones to tip with.

    We book through our agent for every trip...have never had to leave a credit card imprint...I don't see any reason why you can't book and travel without one...we take our card for emergencies but have never used it...any room charges we just pay cash on checkout....travellers checks may be harder to cash...never have used them...just our debit card(need a 4 digit pin) when we needed cash...

    with our bank plan we get so many withdrawls/month free from any bank machine...but there are charges from the machine itself...the one in the gift shop was $6.50 but the one at the small convienience store was only $3.50...it depends what machine you use...many on our independant machines in Calgary charge $1.50...
