We visited Temptation resort for the first time a few weeks ago, April 28-May 1 and thought we would post a short review of our trip. First of all, we were a little worried about the rooms from what we had read on trip advisor, but to our surprise (and relief!) the room was great! The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious, and the shower was fantastic!! The only word of advice that we have is that if your room is close to the outside bar (I forget the name) it is very noisy until around 4am; only a problem if you are actually trying to sleep!! We got earplugs the last night and slept great from the time we got in (around 2am) till breakfast. We had also read some comments about the rooms smelling musty; we brought some candles with us and our room smelled like Victoria's Secret the whole time! We weren't able to get a reservation for any of the restaurants while we were there, so we resorted to eating at the buffet; to our surprise, it was really rather good! They had a good variety of choices and the wait staff was fantastic; they were very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed (including a full glass of wine at all times, very important!!) We did find out on our last day from some other folks that even if you can't get a reservation, just show up at the restaurant of your choice and you will most likely get seated because of cancellations, no-shows, etc. (Wish we would have figured that out earlier in the trip!) Now to the pool (My favorite activity!!) The sexy pool was great, we had so much fun meeting new people: A BIG THANK YOU!! to James and LeAnne!! They made us feel so welcome that first day! Also, Paul & Darcy (aka Body Shots!!) you guys made our trip! Senior Frogs is a must for us next year!! Roy, Lawson, Joe & Luisa from Toronto-Also too much fun! My legs were sore the next day from dancing with you guys at Basic! (They were quarantined when they got home because of the swine flu, but that's another story) Casino night with Johnny & Annie, also a great time!! The activities at the pool were so entertaining and the bartenders are the best!! We brought extra "1's" to tip the bartenders which was a wise thing to do - After a few trips to the bar, they got to know us and had our drinks ready even if there were others waiting - (Just a little advice to the thirsty traveler!!) All in all it was a fantastic trip!! One last bit of advice: If you are planning on going out to the bars in the evening, the bus is the best way to go ($40 includes the bus ride and cover charge) We went on our own to Basic one night, and it was more expensive with the cab fare, drinks and cover charge. The only problem with going to Temptation is the Temptation withdrawals we experienced when we got home!! We will definately be back!! (Soon, I hope!!) SUSIE (and of course, Jonathan!)
Very nice trip report. Sounds like you two had a great time. We will pack candles and remember the reservations tip. Thanks S & T
We're really glad you had fun. Too bad about the restaurants as they are really great. You need to be up and in line by about 9:45 am to sign up for the next three days. Usually there aren't any left for the same night that you sign up. If we meet up again next year, lets book some dinners together. Darcy and I had a blast and we really enjoyed meeting you guys.
