Hello everyone, my husband and I are planning a trip to cancun and are wondering exactly how open minded should we be before booking with temptations? - How much nudity is there exactly I'm open to people doing their own thing, the reviews are just so great but would it a place for a relaxing vacation? Do people do just the couples thing with some partying here and there. Thanks for your help
Your vacation is pretty much what you want to make of it. There will be women topless but no one running around completley nude with the exception of some of the games tables at the casino/lingerie night. That's the great thing about this board, you can meet so many fun people to hang out with that are going to be there during your stay. You can participate as much or little as you like. They even have a quiet pool to lounge around at all day if the sexy pool isn't to your liking. I was quite nervouse myself the first time I went and now it's the one thing I look forward to most year after year.
Temptations can be a relaxing vacation or it can be a party. I personally would not go there if all I wanted to do was relax, read, and not want to party. I go there because of the party/sexy atmosphere because it so different from any other resort. Women are topless, but there is only full nudity during a few games at the sexy pool which can easily be avoided by staying at the quiet pool if your not interested. Yes open mindedness is key to a fantastic Temptation vacation. It is mostly couples but everyone interacys and is very friendly, with of course having a few exceptions. We are headed back in 2 weeks for trip number three and will most likely be going again soon!!!!
The advice I give to anyone considering this place is to "set your expectations appropriately" ... if you are expecting a classy, Ritz Carlton-like experience, not the place for you. And if you have issues with seeing topless women at the pool or the occasional brief nudity during a game or activity, again not the place for you. The resort does not have elevators - plan on walking up to your room up the stairs. The food, while good and plentiful is not anything that I'd call "fantastic" - but that said, I've never gone hungry there, nor even had a meal I'd call disappointing. But you're not going to get a perfectly rare Prime NY Strip here, for example. A vacation at this resort is exactly what you make it. If you want to go topless? Go topless! If you don't? Don't! Want to have that additional drink or snack? Go for it! Hell have 20. Want to laugh? This is the place. Want to smile? This is the place. Want to be somewhere that has a totally non-judgmental attitude? This is the place. All are equals there - last trip, we met a guy whose net worth was more than a billion dollars (yes, a BILLIONAIRE), and he was hanging out in the pool with us (decidedly middle class), and a young couple who she was a new school teacher and he was a production worker at a factory, and they were barely scraping by. And we were all hanging in the sexy pool, having drinks, laughing and talking about life. Tell me anywhere else you can do that. You will see people of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages. There will be people in their 20s and people in their 70s. There will be women with perfect bodies and women with less than perfect bodies. Hanging out together. Possibly topless. There are people from all over the US, Canada, UK and a few other locales - and generally speaking, everyone there is fantastically friendly. I guarantee you will meet friends you keep. We are returning in two weeks. With another couple that we met there - that live 1200 miles from us, and we've only seen one other time. But we had so much fun with them that we have to spend another week with them. Has to happen! I will say this: If you have concerns over what other people do, you probably shouldn't go to this resort. If you have any sort of judgemental streak in you, forget this place. But, if you can adhere to this tenet: No one knows you and no one gives a shit, AND one I personally add: Hakuna Matata - No worries - you WILL love this place. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions: - Myth: Topless required. Umm, no. Ridiculous. Topless friendly? Hell yes. Want to let the girls out? Knock yourself out. Concerned the world will stop turning if you do? Keep the top on (although it won't). - Myth: It's an orgy. No, No, NO. Is the atmosphere sexual? Sure. But in a goofy, humorous way. Nothing else. - Myth: Swingers roam this place like predators. HA HA HA! Are there swingers? Yup. But unless you're in that lifestyle, it is highly unlikely you'll encounter any open or overt offers for it. (but there are SWINGS at the bar - so you can give swinging a try!) - Myth: Single guys roam the place hitting on women. No again. Next? - Myth: You'll be required to drink shots, do inappropriate stuff, etc. Nope again. Make sense? Relax, have fun. No one knows you. No one gives a shit.
