    Hey Diamodheaded,

    I think you should do a comparison of the rooms between Los Cabos and Cancun. Sherry and I are thinking about heading to Temptation Los Cabos for our next trip to Mexico to try something different without going too different.

    Thanks,
    Darren

    darren i may defer to bob on this one as he has been twice to cabo and five times to cancun and might provide a better perspective

    our friends (ace1) ron/melissa were also there and would be able to give yet another perspective also as they have been to both cabo/cancun seem to favor cancun more

    i have not read a trip report from friends joe (j4) and bart and annette and would certainly seek their opinion as well.....

    before spending a ton of money on a trip i like to look at all reviews - not just the ones i hope to read..........so i would strongly suggest that you read ron and melissas tr from last summer in this forum as well as ron, mellisa, joe and bart and annette are high quality top notch people who may or may not see it exactly the way we did :)

    regarless i value their opions highly

    ROOMS

    the rooms were fairly similar - i would give the edge to cabo as cancun is a slightly older establishment and the rennovations after the blue bay days were not done as well as i would have thought and the mildew smell because of the humidity in cancun -makes me favor the rooms in cabo -

    t and i are getting one of the jacuzzi suites next april as they look incredible.

    if you are wanting something different but not too different this is just what the dr. ordered

    more of a west coast vibe but still all the sexy spice - ill have some pictures up on flickr soon for all

    the best

    My perspective on the rooms and their differences, I didn't have a complaint against either place. Usually when I go to bed it is for some lovin or some sleepin, both places work well for that. The beds are huge and they are comfortable in both places. The one thing about the rooms in Cabo that I thought was real cool was the showers, it is not a diagonal shower head but a vertical shower head, if that makes sense. The water comes straight down from above you, so adjusting the pressure changes the water from a sprinkle to a rainfall, but it doesn't mean you have to move closer or further. Also, by the end of the week if you are sunburned, you can have a shower without being hit by pins and needles.

    The difference would be and I believe Rob mentioned it, the humidity, or lack of it in Cabo. Cabo is considered a desert region, and rightfully so, the brochures claim only 5 days of rainfall per year. There is no humidity and hence, there is no mildew.

    The other bonus at least for Barb, is that no humidity means she can do whatever she likes with her hair, she doesn't have to worry about her curls going flat, or if she uses a flat iron, then it going curly.

    excellent point and almost across the board it seems like "all the pretty ladies" are happier here because they dont have to worry with their hair so much

    ........and if momma aint happy - aint nobody happy

    very tempted.. we have discussed the New Orleans trip but no decision yet..

    something to think about for sure ... I have to say.. that lots of the repeaters have mentioned trying something different but not to different .. sounds like it could be a good fit..

    I have wondered about doing a take over there with it being a smaller resort.. how much freedom do you think we would have to be as crazy as it gets at TTR in cancun?
