Won't sugar coat it. We don't have time for single guys at we we think is a couples resort. Especially for ones that have something other one their mind. I would suggest a singles cruise or somewhere that you would have better odds. Just our opinion.
IMO it tends to be the groups of single guys that lead to problems - I've seen a countless number of times where they're each trying to outdo each other, it seems. That being said, while most of the single guys we see in June (like Kev and Alan) are very respectful and a blast to hang around with, you will still have the occasional jackass like the June lurker at Paty O's who was sneaking around and grabbing the women, often leading to physicality with upset husbands and boyfriends.
This was our biggest concern in October for our first time. What we found was that the large groups of single guys caused problems because instead of using their brain and talking to people with respect they used their lower regions. Respect is the best thing single guys could use and you never know where it will lead.
Im a single guy and have been going to temptations for years and years, ive had some of the greatest times of my life and met some of the best people, I don't go with expectations of anything other then to have an awesome time with great people. This place is great for anyone as long as you don't go with expectations and just have fun and let your vacation play out...
I'm a single, but I definitely travel as a solo. I've been to TTR Cancun once and the one in cabo before the changes a half-dozen times. As others have said. Your enjoyment of TTR will simply be a factor of how you approach it and what your expectations are. The guys that are going hunting with a pack of their buddies are generally going to be not only disappointed, they're going to be shunned in large part. As others have also stated, the vast majority of the problems with singles that I've seen have been with *groups* of single guys...well that and the occasional creep with a camera. I do my best to blend in. I participate in activities when it looks like I'll be welcomed, usually only when invited. I'll usually end up naturally interacting with some couples regularly enough that meals together aren't unusual or sitting together at the pool once they realize I'm not gonna be a jackass. As Steve states the pool of 'available' single women is not large...but there are some and if you treat them well, you can certainly make new friends. But I've yet to meet one of the single ladies that is happy being surrounded by a pack of drunk frat-boys egging each other on...but perhaps I've missed that happening with my head buried in my book. Regardless, I always keep in mind that no matter what, I'm essentially a permanent 5th wheel given the format of Tempation Resort and that's going to limit things, but I've always enjoyed myself with a good attitude and a little respect for those around me.
We had a ton of fun on our last trip with four single guys from Nebraska. They were funny, respectful of others and cool as hell. If you go looking to party and make new friends, Temptation is the perfect resort. If your number one goal is to pick up women, Temptation is the wrong resort for you. There just aren't very many single women to choose from...as Steve said.
Wow you guys are brutal!!! I've been 10 times (6 single) n always had a great time n finding female companionship was never hard. And i'm not aggressive. THIS IS NOT A COUPLES ONLY RESORT so stop acting like it is!!!! Not right to discourage people who might be coming for the first time n realize what a fun place it is. Every time new singles wanna try it out people try n discourage it. Not cool! Last i checked its says "fun sexy atmosphere for couple AND SINGLES.
My wife and I have been there 10 times and have met singles every time (male and female) and had a blast with many of them. Only a time or two have we had an issue with single guys crossing the line. So I think it all depends on your attitude and what you are looking for. Its not always the single guys either. We have run across married guys who wait for their wife to go to bed and then go on the hunt that are more aggressive than any of the single guys we have met. TTR is not a couples resort, and we don't think it should be, it is more fun to have a mix. As someone said the mix is probably around 70/30 or can even be 80/20, but it also changes daily.
