    This should spark some conversation! We visitied Desire for our honeymoon 8yrs ago and havnt had a "fun" vacation since! Before we went to Desire, I joined a Yahoo group, made friends, (much like Im doing now on here), and prepared with all the themes, and lingerie neccesary. ( I think I even won that lingerie contest...we can't remember - jim was busy getting a lap dance somewhere in a corner I think! LOL!)
    Can you make some comparisons for us? I do remember the staff was great and really interacted with our group especially - def made a difference. Of course, we were naked all the time, and the fun never ended. I'm sure we will have JUST AS MUCH fun - if not more- at TTR!

    Desire is rated X.
    Sensual. Public sex and nudity are allowed.

    Temptation is rated R.
    Like spring break for party-hardy adults. Toplessness is allowed.

    Temptation

    • Singles allowed, lots of single males
    • Topless only
    • No hot tub
    • 380 rooms with up to 3 people per room
    • Beach quality is very poor
    • Difficult to get a seat around the pool unless up at 6am and no reservations (first come, first serve)
    • Food is mediocre and they up-charge you for premium items
    • Excellent service from all staff
    • Quality of alcohol is poor
    • Much more people involved in the day time entertainment and the party is all day long with pool side DJ's. Frat party in the pool.
    • No public sex, no play room
    • Indoor disco is only open 3 nights per week and AC barely works in disco and everyone leave by 10:30pm
    • Much cheaper rates - $135 - $225 for a couple depending on the weeks
    • Younger crowd - primarily 35-45 but lots of twenty somethings and fifty somethings mixed in
    Desire

    • M/F couples only
    • Clothing optional
    • Group Hot tub with bar service
    • 88 - 110 rooms so you get to know everyone
    • Room quality is better

    • Food is much better quality
    • Excellent service with staff to guest ratio very high
    • Alcohol quality and options are much better
    • Day times are slow and realxing, night time is the party
    • Public sex allowed
    • Night time entertainment is superior with live bands almost nightly, everyone comes out to the Disco, and as its a smaller resort you get to meet everyone
    • Disco AC works and DJ is superior
    • Much more expensive, $350 - $1000 a night
    • Older crowd - primarily 45-55 but lots of thirty somethings and sixty somethings sprinkled in

    Donald - do you disagree with anything I said?

    Both are awesome for different reasons - both have their pluses and minuses.

    If you've only been to Desire and never been to Temptation - you might be surprised at Temptation. There is a reason why its less than half the cost of Desire. Primarily location, entertainment, food & beverage quality.

    Food and booze isn't mediocre ( maybe not as good as Desire, but has never been bad).
    Last April there was a larger selection of top shelf booze available to us peasants.

    The chair issue has gotten a lot better since the addition of the premier deck adding a bunch of chairs.

    There is a small hot tub available for every one.

    every thing else ( about TTR ) was pretty accurate.

    I'll take that as my compare/contrast was pretty spot on. :icon_lol:

    A 6 person hot tub for 380 rooms is a far cry from a Desire hot-tub.

    Desire serves top-shelf, Temptations top shelf is "call" alcohol. Desire has Chivas, Grey Goose, Don Julio, Bombay. Best you can get at Temptation is Absolut or Crown Royal, and that's only if you are a Premier member. If not Premier its Smirnoff, Sky, El Jimador, Kentucky Gentlemen, or Beefeater.

    Desire you can reserve a beach bed or chairs every day and they
    have a chair butler to get you a seat. But yes, the Premier deck has helped immensely as it added another 30+ seats at Temptation.

    I would not call the food at Desire "excellent" either, it's no Michelin star restaurant but much better than Temptation. Much easier to feed and cook to order for 88-110 rooms than it is to feed 380 rooms.

    We still think the food at Temptation Cabos was the best we've had out of all the resorts. Quality, Presentation, Variety was all top notch there.
