    Hi everyone!
    We're so exited about our second visit to TTR and even more with all the expectations regarding the 2.0 version. We're already booked for one of the Seduction Beachfront Suites (Nov 5-12), but after booking we got in touch with TTR people and we realized that room isn's in the new tower. Of course all of them are gonna be great and in "brand new" condition, but as we're going celebrating our anniversary we'd like to stay in the new tower to live the whole new experience. We've been told by the TTR people the rooms in the new tower are:
    - Bash tower ocean view (88)
    - Lush tower oceanfront (13)
    - Master suite (8)
    - Penthouse (2)

    The thing is, looking at the referential pics they have on the website and considering the number of each of these rooms, it's kind of impossible to make the match... ¿Do you guys have some extra information about it?

    Thanks a lot and see you in November!!!

    Tower rooms may or may not be ready in Nov.

    Thank you Donald!
    Actually we're not necessarily looking for a quite place, in our first trip (April 2016) we stayed facing right the Paty'O and it was wild and extremely fun, but as you say it could be wise to keep the reservation in the old rooms which are gonna be ready first...
    Crystal ball needed here!

    Cheers

    I'm sure any of the new rooms in the tower will be nice and they should have a great view, but that is really secondary to many who go to TTR. It was ALWAYS about the people. You just can't beat the outgoing, fun-loving atmosphere, and that was created by the guests. Some people used to seek out the rooms with a jacuzzi, but that was often for entertainment, which again leads back to the party atmosphere with other people. We always stayed near Paty-O's for the convenience. Oddly enough, we stayed in room 2103 four different times just because it was our Mexico home. Not because the ventilation dripped a little, the sliding glass door never closed all the way, or that I had to borrow some tools and screw the shower door hinge back into the wall before they found out Stephie broke it by falling through it one night after too much partying.

    There will always be a better room, better view, more space, etc, but I don't think it will matter much to you for long. It will be the people that you are likely to remember most. To many of us the room is just a place to put your stuff, stay, and hopefully play. Choose any of them. The real charm of TTR is found outside any of the rooms in the welcoming smile of other guests, some of whom you will likely be counting as dear friends long after you leave. And you can find that from any room between the street and the beach.

    You couldn't say it better, Jnine, it's just like that. We've never been in another resort where guest and staff are so in love with and it's for the people, the mood, the freedom and everything we all know. Even in a tend we'd be great while it is close enough to the sexy pool!

    I don't care too too much about room, but it is important to me. I am hoping they open up on time and have the tower ready, and we are able to upgrade too it. Guess we will just have to wait and see as it gets closer.

    I'll be interested in checking out the tower rooms and view, but it's not important for us to stay there. We'll be happy in any of them. We have enjoyed the garden level rooms in the past because it's easy to meet and mingle with the neighbors out the back door. Hopefully that will still be available or something fairly close to the new Paty-O's or wherever the night time parties are held. I suppose there will always be the loud areas that might really interrupt some peoples sleep, but they are OK with us.

    Anyway you look at it we are going to miss the rooms that were around Payt'O for the convince. As far as the tower rooms if I got a deal I might consider it but we were always happy with the garden view class room and continue to book them.

    Hadn't been on in almost two months and actually spent 3 hours last night reading thru posts trying to figure this exact question out. No luck.

    So today I spent several hours on various booking sites including TTR as we want to try out one of the new rooms for the opening. Yes, we are aware there is a risk they may not be ready but it is a risk we think is worth taking. If not ready then we will continue our stay at Desire Pearl where we are going first for the annual Sexy Young & Wild Music Festival.

    So here is what I learned...

    Trendy Garden View
    - the redone rooms that are not partial ocean view. Those room blocks back around the old cigar lounge we assume
    - TTR Website description...
    Our 153 Trendy Garden View rooms feature one king size or two double beds, with an intimate living area including a 48” LED T.V., a full bathroom with separated toilet, one washbowl and a spectacular rain shower. Each of these 30.96m2 rooms boast a spacious balcony or terrace overlooking our perfectly groomed gardens. These rooms are the perfect choice for those seeking state-of-the-art amenities and unique accommodations.
    Capacity: Option of 1 King or 2 Double Beds
    Sq. M.: 30.96m2
    View: Garden View​

    Price starting at '$311.50 per person / per night' states the TTR website. I guess this is the rack rate they are trying to sell 'discounted' memberships on.

    Price for our dates August 15th and 16th...
    TTR Price $342.65 per night for 2 people
    Alpharooms Price $206.24 per night for 2 people
    cheap tickets price (cheap tickets is orbits discount site) $280 per night for 2 people

    Trendy Ocean View
    - the redone rooms that are partial ocean view. I assume these are the rooms around the quiet pool that they used to call ocean view or the rooms near the volleyball court facing the ocean.
    - TTR Website description...
    Our 130 Trendy Ocean View rooms (40.46m2) boast a spacious balcony or terrace with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. We have created an out-of-the-ordinary guest experience, for the free-spirited traveler, with our unique accommodations, each featuring: One king size or two double beds, an intimate living area including a 48” LED T.V., a full bathroom with separated toilet, one washbowl and a spectacular rain shower.
    *Note: Some ocean view rooms feature a partial view.
    Capacity: Option of 1 King or 2 Double Beds
    Sq. M.: 40.46m2
    View: Ocean View​

    Price starting at '$343.50 per person / per night' states the TTR website.

    Price for our dates August 15th and 16th...
    TTR Price $377.70 per night for 2 people
    Alpharooms Price $227.51 per night for 2 people
    cheap tickets price $309 per night for 2 people

    Plush Jacuzzi Room
    - the redone rooms that are around the quiet pool with a small jacuzzi on the balcony, all lower level.
    - TTR Website description...
    Under the vision of world renowned designer Karim Rashid, our 30 Plush Jacuzzi rooms (38.85m2), located near our Quiet Pool, were inspired by the human body & the attraction between humans, known as “sensual connectivity”. Each features: One king size bed, a 48” LED T.V., a full bathroom with separated toilet, one washbowl and a spectacular rain shower. However, what distinguishes this room from the rest, is its romantic, outdoor Jacuzzi with a breathtaking ocean view, giving a whole new meaning to the word relaxation.
    * Some ocean view rooms feature a partial view.
    Capacity: 1 King Bed
    Sq. M.: 38.85m2
    View: Ocean View​
    My side note... isn't it annoying that they are saying these are breathtaking ocean views? Unless they shifted the walls and design of the 1000 block I don't see how this is possible.

    Price starting at '$364 per person / per night' states the TTR website.

    Price for our dates August 15th and 16th...
    TTR Price $400.40 per night for 2 people
    Alpharooms Price $242.14 per night for 2 people
    cheap tickets price None Available

    Seduction Beach Front Suites
    - the redone rooms that face the ocean that are a part of the 1000 block. They have a larger balcony and a jacuzzi in the bathroom. Per the online layout doesn't look like they are adding a jacuzzi to the balcony which I think would be a great idea. 12 of these. 2 at each end of the horseshoe shaped 1000 block on each floor adds up right to 12.
    - TTR Website description...
    Through the accumulation of different colors, textures & richness, combined with erotically abstract sensual forms, soft and round like our bodies, we have created 12 Seduction Beachfront Suites (44.05m2), for the free-spirited traveler seeking additional state-of-the-art amenities and unique accommodations. Featuring one king size Blissful bed, an intimate living area including a 48” LED T.V., a full bathroom with separated toilet, two washbowls and a spectacular rain shower. In addition to other superior amenities, we will take your guest experience to a whole new level with an in-room Jacuzzi for two, including a Jacuzzi Kit, Pool & Beach Butler Service and an exclusive Welcome Kit, just to name a few of the many perks this suite has to offer.
    Capacity: 1 King Bed
    Sq. M.: 44.05m2
    View: Beachfront​

    Price starting at '$374.50 per person / per night' states the TTR website.

    Price for our dates August 15th and 16th...
    TTR Price $411.95 per night for 2 people
    Alpharooms Price -> can't tell. Like alpha rooms tends to do they have several extra room classifications at varying prices. Could be their 'Beachfront' or 'Premium Seaview' or 'Suite Premium Ocean View' or 'Suite Deluxe Seafront'. Not going to bother guessing.
    cheap tickets price $337 per night per person

    And that covers the old rooms which are being 'redone'. To what extent is of course anyones guess. This post got long. So in the next one I will cover what I learned on the new tower rooms.

    Cheaptickets indicated there was only one room left for opening night at the Lush Tower Oceanfront suite category so we went ahead and booked it for the 15th and 16th. Should be interesting. We will be at Desire Pearl from the 10th-15th first for the Music Fest. And if TTR isn't ready then we will just stay at Desire. Cant wait.
