the prices are just getting out of control no matter what. The reality is that they are doing very little to upgrade the resort(that we have knowledge to) and if it is even a 4 star I would be surprised. They are charging it because they can. They pretty much have the market cornered on the topless optional with it being as close to a "swinger/full nude" resort as it can be. It is fun but it is not the resort that makes it that way...it's the people. The crappy part is that if Oasis would realize this the could easily take this from them. Like I posted in another thread, mid March 1 week Oasis Sens was almost $1000/USD cheaper than TTR for 2 ppl. We stayed just a few resorts away from Sens this summer with our family and the beach is flat out to die for. Amazing waves, crystal blue water(like what we have on the BC), and by the looks of it and from what I gather from others that have stayed there is that the resort is top notch, one of the best in Cancun. Now I guess I would certainly weigh the options and maybe not have the entire crew from TTR there but if you can gather some of your close friends and all of you try Sens under their new format(same as Viva), the right group can start a change.
Right now, its Adult Only but there is rumor to believe that they are going to change to topless optional shortly. Its been marketed at LBGT friendly, adult only since December 2013 ish.
TTR is fun, but not worth that... try American express travel, don't have to have a amex card..... Or just come down in Oct to party with us...hahaha
This would be our 10th trip IF we go? So we are avid internet searchers too. Given the high prices last couple of years we thought we would start looking early. We will definately be open to other suggestions. I know friends of ours that we have tried to get to TTR go to GP for years and swear by it. Oasis Sens? Maybe, are people getting confused with the old GOV though?
We just booked first week of dec. at the Golden. I checked the prices every day, of Orbitz, on my ipad, and they would always be different. It also said I could get $25 off if I downloaded their app, and used that promo code. I like to talk to someone when booking so I didn't go that route. When booking I asked the guy if there was any promos he could give me and he immediately took $150 off of the trip. Never hurts to ask.
So tomorrow is the Tuesday, six weeks before our trip. I'm using expedia (who we booked through) with the exact flights we booked. As of today, it's still about $300 more then we paid and about $400 more then the lowest I seen it.
We are going back to GP in Oct (Wifes fall school Break). Only reason we were able was the very low price of $1250 w/air for 5 nites. Now, if just a few more of the TTR crowd would show up and go topless at the pool (we were there 5 days in July and saw no topless gals at all). Also the Tikki Bar was a lot o fun, but it was no PattyOs. A little here and a little there and GP would be "perfect". We are looking at Sens for Christmas Break, but theres that "buying a pig in a poke" thing to worry about. Probably wait until a few more reviews from the TTR crowd, before we would consider it.
I checked lots of different sites, and for whatever reason Orbitz was always the cheapest. I read somewhere that it could be a regional thing. We're from Illinois.
Pretty much agree with all that. Last time my wife was the only one topless, but there is a certain amount of coolness in just that. Maybe get more people this time. Tiki bar is fun, and hot tub by the ocean is too. It's also the cheaper route for us than Temptation or sens.
