Congratulations, first by the way. You'll have a great time. Ladies "usually" dress well for dinner in the typical fashion, leaving the ultra-provocative in the room for changing into to go party. But, there's been some... Topless is everywhere if you want, but you/she does not have to do so, of course. Just can. Have to put the top on to go eat, otherwise the guys will get confused over what's for dinner.
We booked in June for our first trip as well, and joined the forums in mid-April...so we've been meeting people, learning things and getting acquainted with everything to expect. Started a similar thread on this a few days ago, recommend reading through it. Cheers! http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/temptation-resort-cancun/26990-newbies-its-little-things.html
We did read through it; much more thorough than ours. Especially liked the tips about large mugs, and meeting people. How in the world do you get whipped cream through customs?
I asked the same thing a while back...you pack in in checked luggage (I'd recommend in plastic bags as well...it is pressurized after all). Problem we're having is where to purchase it? Local liquor stores don't have it here...so we'll look online. The guy at the liquor store did give me a valuable tip...he said you are NOT supposed to refrigerate it. Leave it at room temp.
As far as what your wife can or should wear to Pattyos, this Method works very well. Have her try on different outfits and then look in a mirror. When she exclaims "this makes me look like a total slut", then you say "that one is perfect"!
A tip on the AI whipped cream, there are two different brands. Whipped Lightning and Cream. I've tried multiple of both brands. I personally like Cream better than whipped lightning. The carmel and the vanilla I think were my favorite. Oh and yes do not put it in the fridge. We haven't found a place here in CA that sales the Cream brand but we can get the whipped lightning in AZ when we go there. We are looking to purchase Cream online this year. --Darci
Yes it says right on the can DO NOT REFRIGERATE. There is no "cream" in the Alcohol Infused Whipped "Cream" AIWC.
Breakfast and Lunch are very casual. Don't be naked and don't be wet. Dinner is a time to dress up a little. Not shirt and tie and definitely not "to the nines". Men can get in with tshirt and shorts, but I'd at least put on a polo. Most women were in dresses, some skanky (in a goooood way), some nice, some in light sun dresses. As far as topless rules, If you are not eating and not in the lobby, you can be topless. Sexy pool, quiet pool, sports pool, beach, walking to your room, etc. It is always optional and on our trip I'd say it was about 60% topless on most days. Pattyo's is the place to be @ night, but if ya need to grab a quick drink the "sports bar" (I would hardly call it that) is open and available too.
Paty'0? Okay, everyone keeps mentioning Paty'o in one way or another. Is it at the resort? Is it a bar/nightclub/whatever? How about some background information, people. BTW, thanks for all the great advice so far. We are even more excited now.
