Hi All, My name is Dave and my wife is Amanda. I'm trying to gauge whether or not we would "fit in" at Temptations or whether we might be better off somewhere else. We are both late 30's and have two awesome kids, ages 5 and 7. We tend to be a little on the shy side, with my wife opening up a lot more once she's liquored up. Me, I stay shy but still have a great time. I would consider us both attractive (her moreso than me) and in very good physical shape. We're both working out hard to be in peak shape for our Mexico trip! I've spent countless days reading this forum, reading reviews of the hotel, and can't decide if this is something for us or not. Having a kid-free vacation is paramount to us, we both love to drink and party but don't get to do it that often in our real life. Honestly, the topless thing is not what's drawing me to Temptations. It's the fact that after reading myriad of other hotel reviews I get the feeling I'm going to be bored out of my mind. I can't just sit by a pool all day. I need music and activity. My wife is OK just sitting around, but as I said earlier she gets her party on, too. She has already made the statement that she will NOT go topless, which is ok with me. I'm also OK if she changes her mind. We are also not swingers by any means. So my question is, will we still be able to integrate into the group and have fun? Or would we be better off staying at a "nicer" resort (from the reviews I read, Temptations is only mediocre in this regard). I'm willing to sacrifice amenities and quality if it's a fun instead. I would LOVE to do the Boobs Cruise, but that sounds even MORE out-there and if we stay covered up the whole time, I'm thinking we will stick out like sore thumbs. I hate to miss something that has been heralded as "best part of the trip" by so many here on CCC. I realize these are difficult questions not knowing us, but I'm hopeful that after reading this someone who's been in my shoes can offer some insight either way. Much thanks in advance for your thoughts. PS our tentative travel dates are Feb 17-23
You will do fine at TTR. You don't just sit there all day, there si always an activity going on, from games around the pool, to beach volleyball, water volleyball, corn bag tossing, darts, horseshoes on the beach, water arobics, drinking, talking to all your new friends, swiming in the pool, standing in the pool watching the crowd.... it's non-stop. Yopless, no topless.. it's all good. Every hotel has swingers, so don't worry about that, if they ask, take it as a compliment that your hard work to stay in shape paid off. Seriously. you will love TTR. You can either participate or watch and if for some ungodly reason it gets too much, there is always the quite pool. So go without worries, an open mind, and a fine sense of expectations. The is no place like TTR and your vacation will be over before you know it and you'll be planning your return trip for May so you can join our crowd! Jamie
Go!!!! You won't regret it! You guys sound so much like my husband and I before we went the first time. You won't stick out....TTR is just one of those places where you're accepted for who you are. You like to have a good time? You'll fit in just fine!!
We were in the same boat last year....and now we are anxiously awaiting our second trip in Jan!!! We also have young children and were wanting to go to adults only with a fun atmosphere- and fun it was!!!! The whole feel of it is so sexy and fun! Instead of seeing seasame steet on your TV there is channel 12!!! WHOO HOO I also said I would not take my top off at all- I think I was there an hour before it finally came off. You will be able to take everything at your own pace and what you feel comfortable with. I HIGHLY recommend that you go!
Ohhh hooooo.....hang on. You are going to get bitten by the TTR addiction! No it's not the 5 star hotel but the people you meet and party with well make up for any "frills" that you don't get. I think everyone feels this way their first time. It's only going to take that first time and a few drinks and you'll feel right at home. Go your own pace. Do your own thing. As previously mentioned, there's always the quiet pool......My guess is that you won't be there. You are going to love it!
First of all if you think you r gonna be boredom. At TTR you r misstaken. You will have good time and wont be long enough. At the and of your vacation ..and been toppless.its your choce but from my experience. At TTR not a big deal at all after half an hour. Good luck with your choice. BTW everyone. Felt like you guys at beginning. Than they all be cCome THE ADDICS..like us.
Thanks everyone for the replies so far. It sounds awesome and I just have this feeling inside that this is what we should do. I guess a part of me still worries that she won't like it, or we'll have problems by being too reserved. Still thinking about this, but really leaning towards going. T Thanks again everyone! You guys are a friendly bunch, I've learned that much in my few days spent reading threads here.
As many of have said before "It's better to regret something you have done rather than regretting that you didn't do it at all". This is not a dance rehearsal!
If you find that it's too over the top for you, like I said, you have the quite pool. And other than the possibility of having someone sitting next to you topless, it's like being like any other hotel. Nice and quite. You can then figure out what tours outside the resort. But I really don't think you'll have to investigate that possibility. Jamie
