I don't know if there's already a thread on this, but maybe this one can be made a sticky so that everyone sees it. Can some of you veterans post any tips, advice , or knowledge you have from your years of experience. What to do, what not to do, what to bring, what not to bring, should we sign up for anything in advance, or anything that you wish you knew before your first time at TTR. I see a lot of first timer posts with questions. If we have it all on one thread it will make it easier for us newcomers. Hope to get some participation on this one. I'm sure everyone has something to share.Thanks in advance.
Hi Here is a list of tips compiled by a bunch of TTR repeaters and collilated by CCC member Mister Dr Jane : Packing - Carry On Pack your carry on with your Bubba Mug or Tumbler, Hat, Sunglasses, 3oz of Sunscreen, Swimsuits (one she's very comfortable with), flip flops, tip cash and anything else you'll need at the pool as the room probably won't be ready. Travel days tend to be rushed, busy and stressful. Pack a snack or two or three in your backpack/carry on so you don't arrive at the resort hungry and cranky. The first day curse can be exaggerated by starting on an empty stomach. Bring two pens to fill out your Mexican Immigration paperwork on the plane. Pack some meds just in case: Pepto, Immodium, Advil, Benadryl, band aids etc. Arriving in Cancun USA Transfers and other pre-arranged Transfer companies should be waiting for you OUTSIDE with a sign with your name on it. After you get through customs in the Cancun Airport, go out the double doors and don't stop to talk to anyone inside the building. If you paid for a transfer your ride will be waiting OUTSIDE. The people outside of customs but still inside the airport are Time Share Sharks. They will say pretty much anything to get you to talk to them. Checking in at the Hotel Arrive at the hotel, tip your driver and leave your bags with the bellboys out front. They will give you a baggage claim ticket. Check in at the front desk. Depending on the time of your arrival and what you booked, you may want to look at your room options before you check in. They will send a bellboy with you to show you to the options you have. Once you decide on a room, they will check you in and issue your Red Wrist Bands. The front desk will likely then pass you off to the “concierge”. Typically this has been a lady in a red dress. This is the person in charge of trying to get you to sign up for the resort tour / premier membership. You can tell them you have already taken the tour, just not interested or that this isn’t really your wife or whatever you like. You can also sign up and take the tour and pitch and decide if the deal is something you are interested in. If you choose to not sign up for the tour and your room isn’t ready walk straight out the double doors through Paty-O's or keep to the right and down the hallway past the restrooms then make a left outside. Here you will find both restaurants that are available for lunch and pool / beach area. If it is your first time, take a walk around stop and pick up a drink from a bar. You should probably eat something before starting the party. GO EAT! You can change in the restrooms that are down the hallway to the right of the front desk and get the party started. General Resort Tips Tip people. Tip the baggage guys who carried your 50 lb bag up 2 flights of stairs. Leave the maid a note for extra whatever and leave her a tip for taking good care of you. Tip the bartenders if they do hustle their butts for you and you like the service. Always TIP them if you order 20 shots of wet pussy. Tip the waiters if the service is good. According to the Wall Street Journal he average MONTHLY wage in Mexico is $400 USD. They work 6 days a week and long hours. You can tip pretty well for a week with $250 USD Try to take it easy on your first day. I know its likely impossible but it does suck to miss out on the first nights fun passed out in your room while your new friends are all partying their asses off at Paty-O’s. Go 50% of what you think you should to avoid the first day curse. Make friends on Cancuncare.com and the Temptation Facebook groups before going. Check the Monthly Roll Calls to find people heading there the same time as you are. It is nice to have at least one recognizable face if you are new. Book the Boobs Cruise though Cancun Care preferable early in your vacation. It will be an experience you will remember forever. The people you meet is what makes this resort the best. DON'T BE SHY TALK WITH PEOPLE. Play the games get involved. The people, not the place are what will make you have the time of your life! Guys: Don't pressure the top removal (if it's still on). It will come off when she's ready. It will come off... EAT SOMETHING! You laugh now, but you'll laugh there when you remember me saying this in all caps because you forgot. Take a “sexy nap” after leaving the sexy pool before dinner. EAT DINNER! Go to Patty-O's and dance your ass off. Flirt and be sexy. When you think about doing something but then say to yourself, "I can't do that!" do it anyway! Get a hamburger and fries and eat in your room. The sports pool is open 24 hours a day. Go for a late night swim at least once. There are two channels with great documentaries 24 hours a day. Be careful walking around and getting in and out of the pool. The pool gets slippery from all the sunscreen. Speaking of sunscreen, wear LOTS. Re-apply every couple of hours. I mean she’s not wearing much at all, so it’s easy and fun to help rub it in right? Better to protect the Chi Chi’s than to sunburn them and have to keep them covered the rest of the trip! If you see a big group, don't assume they're all longtime friends and you aren't invited. Say, "Hi, you guys look fun!" and watch how fast you're taken in! Make an oath that your answer to any request or suggestion from the staff or from people holding cans of AIWC will be, "Okay, why not?" and you will definitely have the time of your life! Ask for specific Liquors if you don't want the well liquors, let em use whatever for shots they are making 20-40+ at a time, but get the good stuff for your drink. IE: Captain and Coke, Sky and Lime......ETC. It makes the liquor quality better and easier to monitor how much you are drinking Do Not Be Afraid to Participate in the daily competitions! But be aware that you are very likely going to be drinking and possibly flashing your bits - and guess what? It's really easy to make friends while naked. General Packing Advice Take something(s) you know you would wear, something(s) you think you might wear, and something(s) you don’t think they make enough alcohol to wear! You will surprise yourself on what you would be willing to wear in a fun sexy nonjudgmental atmosphere like Temptation. Pack 10-15 hangers and clothes pins. There aren't many hangers in the closet. Pack an extension cord or two . Pack some Lysol to spray in the AC inlet vent. "Better to have and need not than to need and not have." Don't try to pack light. Take multiple outfits for every day and lots of shoe options. When you're buying theme night wear and you're looking at all those awesome strappy dresses, think realistically about how complicated it's going to be to get them on after a day of drinking. Will you figure out where your head and arms go before Paty'O's closes? Make sure you do practice dressing drills at home! Bring a little dish soap to wash out your bubba mugs. They get a bit gross after a week without being washed. The lids do come apart for cleaning to get into the nooks and crannies. When you unpack, make a list of what you wore, what you didn't wear and what you wished you had brought for your next trip. It is VERY LIKELY You will be going back.
We just got home last night from a week at TTR.... We had the benefit of seeing the tips/list above before we went and it was spot on! All of it.... Should be required reading. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is all great stuff guys. Thanks for the input. If you can think of anything else that can make a difference in our first trip to Temptations please keep posting. Nothing's worse than getting to paradise and realizing you should have brought something you didn't.
The only thing I would add to your list of what to bring is a box of directics. My hubby and I always need some after drinking a couple of days and eating food that is more sodium laced than we are used to. It's amazing how fast your ankles and/or feet swell and then your cute heels and boots don't fit!
