First Timer tips/Lessions learned

When I was there in April, I wasn't a CC member, so I didn't know about the theme nights except for lingerie night. There were only about 20 of us that wore lingerie. There is no casino night, so there was no real impetus to wear lingerie (I gather you can't get into casino night in Cancun unless you wear lingerie). They told us that there was going to be a lingerie fashion show, but they didn't tell us that WE were the fashion show, so beware! they will make you get up on stage and strut your stuff. Then we all went to the disco where they had a male stripper then a female stripper perform, which was a lot of fun.

There was a 60's night, but I think there were all of 5 people dressed for it.

I suspect that word just doesn't get out about the theme nights because Cabo folks are not on this site as much as Cancun folks. We were also there at a quiet time for the resort, right around Easter weekend at the end of April. It was going to be Desire Week in about another few days, so we seemed to be in the calm before the storm!

However, we really liked the Cabo resort. Romantic and couples-oriented. NOT a good choice for singles. The rooftop jacuzzi area really makes the place. I haven't been to the Cancun TTR yet myself. But I totally agree with everything B&K said about the Cabo resort.

 

we were there with b&k and can back everything up, ESPECIALLY the friday night jacuzzi party. i'd NEVER had so much fun in my life, and i just sat there... mostly... which is perfectly fine with my. my wife though... she danced until around 3am. the outsiders were blown away, i think, which made it so much better.

but yeah, cabo was much more laid back than cancun as far as the crowd goes. at first i was a little disappointed with the amount of people, but as the week went on, we ended up getting to know everyone, b&k included, and in the end, that's what we remember the most.

i think that if you're a couple and not really into being 'picked up' by another couple, but still want the thrill of showing off your shoes, cabo is the place to go. if you're a party person, definitely cancun. if you're into crashing waves, walking around a nice town, cabo. if you're into parties, cancun.

so at the end of the day, we're going to have to think long and hard about where to go next. fortunately though, we've been lucky enough to keep in touch with most of the gang we met, so with any luck, we'll all go back together.

and as matchandahalf alluded to... compare the cancun forum size, activity and types of duscussions with the cabo forum size, activity and discussions and you'll get an idea on the type of crowd you'll find.

 

i have noticed with most of the people whom we have talked with about the two resorts that this seems to be fairly normal

The next 51 days are going to drag by sooooo slow! Can't wait to get there!

 

Wow, partying until 3 AM, no wonder we did not see you at the pool before we left on Saturday morning. Yea, the hot tub party, Barb still smiles ear to ear whenever we talk about that.


Here are a few other tidbits.


We didn’t know much about the theme nights before going to the resort. We did find out once we got there that they had a preferred ‘dress code’ of red clothes one evening and white and black clothes another evening.


We ate at the Asian restaurant one evening. The food and service were very good. I think it was only open two nights while we were there. It is kind of out of the way, so we kept forgetting to check to see when it was open.


The resort had a sea turtle release one evening we were there. They had about 100 baby sea turtles that were being released into the ocean. You could hold them and take pictures. It was fun to watch them ‘waddle’ down the beach towards the water. I don’t know how often this happens. I think we were just lucky enough to be there at the right time.

 

the turtles... i thought their flippers were rigid, but they're not... they're like little hands, only without the fingers.

 

Can you tell me how many of the wives really dress up for supper each night. Not sure what to pack for our upcoming trip.

 

The resort was only about 40% full last week while we were there, and the majority of the wives dressed nice for dinner.
