Mario did a live video today on Facebook about changes at the hotel. Here is what he had to say: Some of this is my own interpretation. My comments in brackets. That Mario and the hotel do follow the social groups and read comments. Purpose of the video is to let people know what's happening and to stop any rumours. The former General Manager (Nicolas Santos) has moved on. There is a new Manager (a Mexican guy called Eddie) but Mario will be a lot more involved with Operations (particularly Entertainment/ Guests Experience.) If you need to contact the hotel do so through their Official FB page, even though they read the groups there are a lot of rumours and comments posted by people that either haven't visited yet or haven't visited for a long time. (Didn't really understand this part) About the restaurant She, will continue to be couples only, but not "multi menu". (Possibly means they will do away with the 15 courses and go to a la carte. As I say, I'm not sure what he meant. Kelly (playmaker) introduced and discussion about creepers. Photos: Can take selfies and group pics, also pics/videos of the night shows allowed but don't be creepy taking pics of people you don't know. (Similar policy to our Boobs Cruise) Shows are changing, some have changed already Not a couples only resort, singles welcome. There is Desire if you want couples only. Encouragement to join Temptation Social (Facebook type clone) Mention of a meeting Mario had yesterday with myself and Jannet (about some plans we have working together). We will be hosting a social get together at our place for Boobs Cruise staff and key figures from the hotel in the near future to further discuss some ideas. Pride week 27 July - Aug 3rd with special programming and shows There will be a nighttime pool party> keep it fun and keep it clean. Mario recently visited Hedo (often reads comment saying Hedo is better so went to see for himself). Considers TTR to be way ahead. Is TTR a Swingers Hotel? Swingers hotels are every hotel, swingers are everywhere. Introduction to 'the Cuban' who is one of the referees. Referees are not security, but they do make sure people stick within the rules (these guys have been around a few months now, imho they are kind of like a cross between security and entertainment). Everyone can continue to have a good time, while respecting the rules and the concept of the hotel. (a lot of chit chat and answering questions posted as comments) New loungers for the sexy pool No changes in theme nights between now and June Takeovers aren't takeovers they are groups. Sometimes groups will book a certain block of rooms (e.g. Tower) but they dont takeover the entire hotel. Don't be fooled. Sarah69 introduced. Discussion of Temptation cruise 58% sold Temptation Miches Punta Cana opening date is planned for Winter 2020 Looking at other locations, Los Cabos, (unspecified) Caribbean, they've just been to Jamaica Willing to accept emails via mcruz@original-group.com
TLDR Key Points New management structure. New GM. Mario will be more involved with Operations The hotel does read the social groups Don't be a creeper Relaxation of camera rules at Bash Night Shows are changing Mario had a meeting with Jannet and myself yesterday re some future plans - we will be meeting again soon. Pride Week Jul 27 - Aug 3 Will be a nighttime pool party Recent visit to Hedo, feels TTR is way ahead New Loungers for the sexy pool Takeovers aren't 100% takeovers Referees, new semi security role but more fun Temptation Cruise 58% sold Tempatation Miches planned opening date Winter 2020 Other locations being looked at including Los Cabos Don't confuse the concepts between TTR and Desire.
@Steve - I believe he said something about a night time pool party - but I didn't hear any details. Perhaps I missed it?
Damn old age - I read that in both of your posts, but by the time I got to the end, I obviously forgot. Good thing my head is attached to my shoulders.
Great news if night time pool party goes ahead and potential of "improved" pool loungers..... sounds positive... good luck with your "project" Steve
