Hi Timmy, you'll always be welcome at TTR, a real party goer. However, we left last Friday, just after 3 large groups of single men checked in at hotel, one seemed to be in excess of 12, another from UK was about 10, plus another group. These large groups change the balance and make many nervous. We personally have our own thoughts on this (rooms need to be sold). I haven't seen the FB comments but some concern was being expressed by people on Friday. This wasn't positive and whilst I am sure wouldn't impact on you , it may stop others vacationing at TTR. Whilst it was their 1st night, I didn't see any of theses groups participating in the theme night and having questioned one of them, they knew nothing of Cancuncare or intended to join in theme nights...... the party starts to disappear. We'd still encourage you to go.... although the party in purely, our opinion, is not as wild as pre -Rebuild. Hope all well with you V & P
Of all people to ask this question??!!!! One of the top single dudes at the hotel, you 100% would never have a problem. There were 3 main singles that hung with our group in May. To my knowledge, none of them had an issue. I think it's just these large groups that pop up here and there that give the negative press for a short period, then it kind of fades away until the next incident. I think the best advice is to just go at at time when you know at least a few couples at the same time, then you will always have a comfort zone. Obviously everyone knows that like an idiot I miss multiple nights and meals, Elyse is always happy to go eat and hang with others
Hey Viv and Paul it feels like a lifetime since I last partied with you both... Didn’t go this May with the Price hike was hopeful the prices might’ve panned out a bit after the initial hype of the relaunch... To be honest when pricing it seems to be more the Solo Traveller like myself is being hit hardest... When 2 people to a Room it isn’t just as big of a rise I found... I was there last November to try it after the Refurb... It does look spectacular though maybe a bit too upmarket for me... I’m just common... lol ! But it’s a lovely Resort... I found the New Sexy Pool a bit too Big... which I never thought I’d say as it seems to be more spread out now where before you couldn’t not mingle with everyone in the pool... Also think they missed a trick with Bash... I like it but thought they might have fitted a slide out type of covered roof of some kind for when it rains and have the Stage/Dancefloor on a lift that could be lowered after the Show... Also think things like the Sky Bar and the Penthouse Parties can take people away from the Sexy Pool and Bash but they are only small things really if I was going to pick holes in it... I think once the newness wears off it’ll start to feel like home again... I think we need the regulars to keep going and introduce the newbies to the Thene Parties etc... I remember the first time I went with a friend I hadn’t a clue and we actually done fancy dress for his Birthday but I never noticed many people dressed up any nights I was there but then found the Facebook Community and CCC and it helped alot to get chatting to people and find out about the themes and stuff... The Crowds of Guys will come but think once they realise that it’s mostly couples and they aren’t joining in the themes and feel out of it they and end up hitting the Clubs in the Bar Street Area... I think I’ve found a Roomie for November although haven’t anything booked yet... Hope you are both well and living life and hopefully see you’s again next year... xo Timmy :0) @FFC/WBA
Yeah to be honest I kind of hope respectful guys would still be fine just some of the cries for the Resort should be Couples and all that jazz had me thinking it might be starting to turn a bit... It’s hard enough for some of us Solo Dudes to settle in without going and getting the Cold Shoulder from everyone but yeah I’ve seen groups of guys there in the past who usually end up disappointed as they all come thinking it’s an orgy and when they see it isn’t they are pissed... So go to the club down Bar Street... I’m hoping to go in November and think I have a Roomie sorted that I met last year... Suppose if I’d find myself a girlfriend it would be a lot easier but not all ladies want to go to Temptation so well they’re not my type of girl then and the conversation goes... it’s not you it’s me... lol ! Hope you, Elyse and your little Rascal are all good buddy... Hope to see you in Paradise again sometime for some Shots of Fireball... :0) @ScubaSteve
I think the late November / early December crowd has a higher % of singles than other times of year, and honestly, it wouldn't be the same without them! Singles, whether alone or in a group add so much fun to the party. Singles are firmly welcomed, to a point I reckon couples visiting for the first time at that time of year feel more out of place than singles. It's been that way for almost a decade. To be honest, Chaos Crew started as a group for singles to mingle, get dinner together, dress for theme nights etc. but just grew from there and adopted many of us couples now too. Nobody travelling alone will ever be out of place during those weeks. Regarding big groups of single guys, there's just a few bad apples, likely stag dos that haven't researched the place properly, that bring the atmosphere down. Even then, I've visited before when stag dos had potential to go bad, but talking with them and sort of demonstrating how things go at TTR has helped. These groups can feel intimidating but sometimes talking with some of them helps immensely. The new pricing sucks. Not sure if single occupation has been hit harder, although I can see how the new pricing is exacerbated considering singles have always had to pay more. That's why we bought in. Went to the Premier talk last year, and they did us a deal that gets us a room cheaper than what Thomas Cook prices were offering for year. I can't argue with that. It is an investment though, you have to know you'll be going back for it to work out cheaper. I think Bash will be much better now they've added more tables and seating, much more accommodating for groups of people to sit together and spread out across the tables / bar. I'm hoping it helps the atmosphere go back to how Paty O used to be. Nothing really can be done about the pool. People definitely are spread out more.
Ya Timmy I think you will always be welcome at the resort. lol you know everyone there. As everyone has said you will be just fine if you can find the right deal.
@Spicy she knows a lot about people sharing rooms or how to give you some pointers I'm sure she would be super helpful to you
As you know, I still need a roommie over Labor Day. Wish I'd have known you were considering going in May. I ended up having to pay 9 nights for 2 by myself!! :-( And don't worry, Timmy, you'd be fine I'm more bark (meow) than bite. You can always post on the facebook site for "Temptation Singles" it's intention is for roommate matching. And please, no one dissuade the groups of single British men, meow. I for one luv it when the British are coming!!
Thanks Spicy I think I’ve a Roomie sorted for November this year... Next year I think I’ve someone lined up to share with next June... Thanks anyway and hope you get sorted with a Roomie... xo
