hello everyone! First of all, after reading the site for a little, I'm impressed with the great community here! Seems like LOTS of great people . So me and a good friend of mine are going to be in Mexico from August 9th -14th and have some questions. To start off with full disclosure, we are two single dudes in our early 30s. I assure you we are not creeps, we know how to read the room/situation and are very nice and respectable people. I'm sure you will enjoy our conversations and company . So with that out of the way, I've seen that many male singles go with no problems, has anyone seen a friend situation like ours? Any advice? Now originally we were planning on staying in Cancun for 3 days and Playa de Carmen for 2 to get the best of both worlds. Again, we've been reading this forum for some time and now we are leaning towards Temptation for our entire trip solely based on this site and its community! I think I already know the answer, but should we just do our entire stay here? Or do you think it will still be worth it to check out both cities with only 5 days? Any other advice you can offer that's not in the sticky thread or anything specific to us, I appreciate it! Thank you all!
I want to say the following is only my humble opinion .... I can only answer for TTR , and yes, if U are polite and considerate to other people then your problems should be few. Remember some of the rules, no pictures, no touching and no hitting on married women ( all without permission.) If U want to play around, U might want to leave the resort. Understand that if ya'll do hookup outside of the resort (bars and discos) U cannot bring them back to your room without buying a night pass ...and that will cost a lot. So U will be either spending a lot of time having a good time with people who are coupled up or U will be going out at night to the local bars and chasing something that U cannot bring back to the resort. If U understand these constraints, then go and have a great time at TTR. Posters: If I am wrong on this, please comment and correct my thinking on the subject.
Hello and Welcome! Quick answer to a few of your questions: Yes, I have seen younger 30s males vacation together at TTR. As long as you stick to what you said "able to read the room", then I am sure you will do fine. The problem with singles is more so the larger groups that tend to stick together in a pack. Two dudes palling around is way different then 5-6 guys in a group. (I wrote up much more about this in a recent trip review titled "Balls out - trip review", feel free to check that out for some additional thoughts). I would also suggest just staying at TTR for the 5 days. That's not really long enough of a trip that you would want to split. Also, Playa is a bit more tame then Cancun is. So if you end up wanting to go offsite at night to a club or something, you will probably have more fun just staying in Cancun.
I had very similar questions and concerns before my 1st visit.T TR is fun and you should not have any issues having time of your life, if you act like a normal human being. This August it will be my 3rd trip. Previously I was there with a couple and other single guy and 1st time it was me and three other single guys. Both times it was great! I have to slightly disagree with tw1mempho about spending all time with people that are coupled or chasing someone at the club that you can't bring back. While TTR visitors are predominantly couples, there were quite a few single ladies at TTR during my visits. I am not sure if you are going there for a sole purpose of hooking up with someone or just to have fun and meet awesome people. While 1st one is never guaranteed, the 2nd one is
We agree with ScubaSteve. it is the large groups of single guys that are the worst. They seem to let their testosterone push them into drinking to much, being obnoxious etc. some of our best friends down there are a great group of guys from the northeast. there is a very good post on here about single guy tips at TTR today. last thing Playa is nice but tar is a blast. stay there. be respectful and have the time of your life.
Two cool single guys who can respect boundaries but are open and fun can have an F-ing GREAT time at TTR, we've seen it and met many of them. Trust me, having been to other places in Cancun, and having stayed in Play over 5 times, you'll want to do the whole trip, this time at least, at Temptation. Hands down, Fun-Winner!
