Hi , we are making our first visit in October 2010 and have found lots of top tips on this site and would welcome any further advise. We have already learned to avoid the time share pitch, to book restaurants early and to claim a bed even earlier. Any advice on room choice and location ? some have said the hotel over books. We are up for a laugh and hope to join in with things and have loads of fun. can anyone tell us where we would get a wrist band to identify that we have been on this site and are needing a little help x :flash:
Hey there! Glad you found this site...it's full of helpful information. I may not be able to answer any of your questions, but I would say this...don't worry about a thing while you're there. You'll have so much fun, and hopefully be repeat offenders like us! We'll be there Oct. 14-18...what are your dates? Jackie
Hi Jackie, Thanks for your reply x We are really looking forward to our trip , our dates are 5 th Oct for 7 days so we just miss you by couple of days x Shame. It was our 20th wedding anniversary this year and we thought we would treat ourselves to a holiday x We looked for adult only resort as kids staying at home and Temptation came up. The more we read the more we thought that it sounded fun. We booked it straight away. We then found this site and everyone returns to this hotel so they must have things right. We love Florida and have been about 10 times but wanted a beach all inclusve holiday for our solo trip somewhere warm. Sounds like we are in for good time. Noticed some ladies asking about age , size etc and seems mix of all so not so worried about been bit out of place. We are 44 and 43 but I am 18 in the head x Might be bit shy to start with ( British thing ) but sure I will want a front row seat to watch some of the activities. Do you have any tips on what to take as we only allowed 15 kg of luggage and dont want to get it wrong x The rooms - we emailed the hotel about upgrades , they told us it would be $100 per night for a jacuzi room. Do you think this is worth it or are the normal rooms as nice as the pictures. We have read different opinions. A few had said they had to wait for a room as the hotel had over booked. We would like a nice room that is not too noisy after 1 - 2 am x just to get a little sleep. Thanks for the help Jacqui x
Jacuzzi rooms are worth the upgrade... we don't do it online but wait until we get there. The upgrade is cheaper onsite than online (at least it's been that way for us). Don't pack heavy... light clothes are the best. We don't bring jeans or other heavy fabric clothes. Think show off stuff. I usually bring only one or two pairs of pants for the specialty restuarants. Joyce brings dresses, shorts etc. Just a few pair of shoes for each of us... but that's up to you. Guys need one closed pair for the specialty restuarant. Docksiders work well. Above all keep an open mind and have a blast. We're one of the multi-timers and the people we meet as well as the staff make us keep going back.... any other questions please let us know.
We'll be there Oct. 3rd - 10th, so we'll get to see you guys a few days. You'll have a blast. We also booked a jacuzzi room. We can't wait...5 weeks away!!!!
Thanks folks for all your tips x We cant wait for a lovely week in the sun x will pack light and what we dont have is tuff luck x We saw the blog about shoes and trousers for men x we will try to upgrade when we are there as we think it will be a nice extra treat x We have got some orange wrist bands so hope some will notice xx All we need now is for the sun to shine and beer to flow xx See everyone there x
Hi Mark and Jac.. Spend alot of time in the UK... My wife and I are heading to Temptations for the first time for our 25th Anniversary Oct 9 - 14th.
