There are good tequilas on the list but since I drink a tequila and and club soda the Milagro will do just fine. Well Milagro and Baileys for the morning coffee.
This is my first visit to Temptations (September 2017). I looked into it before the talk of this renovation project began, and the thing that kept me from booking a trip was the perceived low-scale amenity package. I will take good food, premium libations, and lush rooms over the opportunity to partake in Rated PG-13/R nudity every time. Relaxation is at the top of my list. To now hear that I may need to bring my own liquor, face unwieldy bar lines, and experience food that might be characterized as just edible instead of a treat to the senses leaves me a bit worried and disheartened.
Respectfully, if you were going into it with that attitude you might have a rough trip. None of us know with the new TTR is going to be like.... but relaxation and TTR don't really mix, at least in my experience. I party 20 hours a day and come home sunburnt, bruised and exhausted with the biggest smile on my face and a whole lot of fuzzy memories. Also, if you are concerned about food and alcohol and inappropriate humour then again you might be missing what TTR means to a lot of us. This is your trip and you paid for it but just reading what you posted here makes me question if it was the right choice. I fear you might be disappointed. As long as there is intermittent food to soak up the shitty alcohol so that I can keep going....I'm in. I hope you find the answers that you're looking for and have an awesome vacation regardless Nikki
I got an email and they said they are going to have Jägermeister. That makes everyone happy! Right???
Oh FFS My mouth just did that "don't you dare drink that while you're there you asshole" watering thing.. Like I don't get blotto there without it.. Why do you tell me this stuff Mister!
Exactly. They can try for the 4 or 5 star prices, and can even hold the line on them for a while, but in the end the customer will decide what the place is worth. If higher prices, reputation, location, or the mediocre (by Yucatan standards) beach causes occupancy to fall, so will prices. It will all work itself out regardless of what color the place is painted.
I think everything has gone up in prices when you book now. Places like Travelocity used to offer promotion codes that could save you a hundred or to at booking but that has gone away and now they want you to leave the night before and set at the airport if you have any stops overnight or charge more for a morning flight. But I'll just buck up and see everyone in November. I booked a trip in September to GP and it was a few hundred lower but I'm sure ill have a better time at TTR.
Uh... no.... Jaeger! Thoughts of undergrad skirt-chasing just went past in a not so wonderful collage. Personally, though I know it's out of vogue, I've Always Loved (luvluvluved) Rumpleminz..... But, it's hard to find in a bar anywhere any longer. I've got a half-bottle in my freezer for the occasional instanhce that I want to get a bit wonky. Stacia's a vodka snob, and she's even more so with tequila. Her go-to vodka of choice at home or friends' parties is Gray Goose... but she'll slum with Skyy OK. She's usually good to go witht hat at TTR/DRM/DP. Tequila howver, if they run out of Don Julio Silver... she's a no go. She did have one of the best party time nights ever at DRM last April having nothing but chilled DJ-silver shots, though she was just sipping at it, interspersed with water. She got naked at the bar and on the dance floor (it WAS DRM) which I thought very giving of her. Caring, too. I've pretty much given up that they'll have Blanton's in mexico. Shoot, I've had to almost give up on it being at the local liquor stores here in Houston! I can get it (for freakin' $12-$15 a glass on rocks) at the bars... but sheesh... a bottle costs usually $52-$56... ouch. Can you say mark-up? But I digress. I imagine that the "new" TTR will move up the liquor quality ladder... some. Probably will not get intot he good premium stuff, as that's not cost-effective at volume for ssuch a place. Giggly-drunk woman at bar: "Can I get fifteen shots of the Corazon tequila?" Bartender: "Si senora... You did know that is $90 or so US a bottle?" "Drunk: "I sure as hell did! Line 'em up!" Bartender: "Sure thing..." Manager: *Groan...*
