Ok, first let me say, yes, I should have done more research, but the photos looked beautiful, and the site didn't seem so "lifestyle" oriented. I got a great deal & booked. 4 days, Dec 21-24. For my mother and I. (Yes, laugh now.) I don't care what people do, my mom is a little more reserved. I have been to another adults only couples resort, so I figured this would be similar. Upon reading the reviews, I was SO wrong. I talked about it with mom, and she said she'll just keep to the quiet pool & beach, but I need to know... Is it really going to be possible for us to just enjoy ourselves, or did I make a huge mistake?
You guys should be fine at the quiet pool. It's quiet and peaceful and not much going on over there. You will still see some topless over there but no where near as much. TTR is what you make of it. It's extremely wild or very mild..
You may have to sneak away every now & then from your Mom so you can go enjoy the fun at the sexy pool. It's inevitable to stay away!!!
I guess it all depends on the kind of relationship you have with your mom. Even if you hang at the quiet pool all day, the "sensual atmosphere" tends to spill over, and the shows and Paty'Os can be racy. My mom and I don't have the kind of relationship where this would work...I'd wind up spending most of the time in the room and hating it because I wouldn't be able to let loose with her around. Any chance you can get a refund from TTR or get them to transfer you to their Sea Adventure resort? (wouldn't be my choice at all for a vacay, but I'd rather be with mom watching a bunch of kids splash around than be with my mom watching topless body shots) Of course, if your mom is open-minded and fun, you'll have some great stories to share with the family at New Years!
Just a FYI - Sea Adventure resort is no longer owned/operated by Original Resorts(the owners of Temptation).
Thanks guys, you really put my mind at ease. Mom & I have a great relationship, so we'll have no problem sneaking over to the sexy pool to see some fun, or if it spills over a little. And I don't plan on going too crazy because I'm married (mom is single). This was supposed to be a fun girls long weekend. Hubby has a crappy holiday work schedule & I get extra days off. So I booked this for us looking for a fun no kids trip. Mom's fine with topless, & I told her we'd probably see nudity too, which she's ok with. She was just more worried she'd be constantly bothered by people & feel out of place if we're not nude or topless. Plus we'll just have some (lots of!) drinks & she should chill out some. And knowing my mom, with a few drinks in her, we might have some good stories. The place looks gorgeous, and if it turns out awesome, maybe the hubby & I will come back to really experience it!
Haha sorry but that's kind of funny. My prediction is the first day will be a bit uncomfortable, but that will all change day two. You'll have a few drinks, loosen up, and before you know it your mom will be embarrassing you playing the games at the sexy pool and telling you about the hot guys she hooked up with in collage. Temptation has a way of bringing out the craziness you never knew you had.....trust me on that
I may be assuming a little here, but I would imagine that your mother has seen breasts before, and has partied in her time (I could be wrong on one or both counts of course)- so I think you will be fine. People go to resorts in Europe with their parents all the time- and many of them have topless beaches. You may even find that your mom may garner some attention and may not end up being as reserved as you think she is after a few cocktails. Have a great trip- come back and write a report to let us know how it went! Nick (and the cougar Kitty)tm
assuming that your saying your mom is more "reserved", does that mean that you would have a good time at TTR without your mom? and secondly if your mom is reserved, does she have an open mind and is she willing to have some fun dancing and drinking with people at the bar or on the town? The only reason I ask is that if you can answer yes to both of these questions, your vacation may just surprise you... and possibly your mom as well. My wife is very reserve and when she found out where we were going, if it wasn't a surprise for her, I am sure she would have made me cancel the trip. Her words were "I guess we'll see". now after our second time there she is making lots of new friends each time and cutting loose MUCH MUCH MORE than I would have ever anticipated. Go with an open mind and give her some free time away from you. Sometimes you never know who will approach and just change your entire vacation for the better!
