We just returned from Temptation Cabo and will give our opinions about Cabo for those who are undecided between Cabo or Cancun (we have been to both) Wait staff is excellent in the restaurants some called us by first name? I’m sure they had to look this up somewhere but a nice touch ...very impressive Food was Excellent in the specialty restaurants Buffet could have been bigger but no complaints at all No scramble for chairs in the morning until the weekend and then if you were down by 730-800 am when the sun peaked over the resort you were fine Pool was very warm Topless at the pool was no issues and everyone was comfortable with each other no matter what the size, shape, or volume hahah Hot tub was a blast. Not too hot not too cold although a few couples had a tough time realizing they were in temptations and not to Desire anymore... Had no issues with couples going at it but comon... use the beds or your room not right beside us in the hot tub..Kinda gross when it really comes down to it Great bartenders at the hot tub bar, the pool bar they were ok but long days and you could tell they were very tired. They worked hard but come 200 pm they were loosing their humor Cruising waiters around the pool Tony and Conrad were good but very busy which meant if you didn’t call them over they didn’t stop. It was ok I am not that lazy that I can’t get up and go to the bar Night time activities I can’t comment about because they started so late we never made it to one show. In Cancun they started at 900 or 930 because they wrapped things up early so the staff could get everyone loaded on the bus for the bar trips. Cabo they started at 1030 or 1130 and that broke my threshold. No matter how hard I tried it wasn’t happening due to the excellent red wine they serve with dinner! Lights out by 1000 pm EVERYNIGHT 145 rooms in cabo and seemed to be less than half the size of cancun but very well kept grounds and was very clean Entertainment staff tried hard but struggled to get people to participate in activities and only had adult activities on Friday Sat and Sun. Sport activities through the week but very little that were "Adult orientated" So the big question ...Cabo or Cancun next year? Both Connie and I (Steve) decided we will return to Cancun next year Lots of quite time at Cabo if you are into that (and some is nice) but the party is way better and earlier in Cancun but any way you look at it the service in Cabo is second to none and cant be beat. Steve and Connie
Great report Thanks Steve and Connie, Great report. What are the bar trips? are they organized from the resort and do they bring you back? Any word on booze cruises? Again thanks and much appreciated. Ken
Bar trips are in cancun only they take you a bar on certain nights for 45 bucks and get you in and seated and the drinks comming they the staff leaves ...you find your way home. They are announced around the pool through the day and yes its the entertainment crew that takes you there by bus Booze cruize wasnt available in cabo that we seen but went on a catamaran snorkling and was all you can drink and a light lunch ...It was excellent and fun but only about 16 people. crew on board were awsome at keeping the drinks coming as well
Thanks for the trip report.. I do have a question.. you mentioned that you were not able to make it past 10pm.. I totally get that..lol.. but can you confirm that there is partying going on after 10pm, did you hear that it was a good party at night or was it just really that quiet there... just courious.. we are booked for April and while we enjoy quiet in the day.. we!!! are night owls... lol
Yes you did say it was cancun bar trips sorry wasnt paying attention. What was the cost of the catamaran trips and is it organized thru the resort. Ken
Sorry got two threads going and getting confused I answered on the TTR Cancun post I think ! Steve and Connie
As it is organized through the resort, is it adults only, strictly people from the resort, how many people on board...??? Thanks
There were people from many different resorts so I assume there may have been kids but not on the one we went on.. abour 16 people that day but the captain said there were 40 booked but half didnt show? I expect he gets paid regardless because you have to pay in advance. well worth the money and the crew members were spectactular. never a time there wasnt a beer in mour hands hand haha Steve and Connie
Just got back as well, for Partygirl, there is partying everynight in Cabo till 3, especially in the hot tub. That being said, it was only a few hard core people going, like 5 or 6 till that late. Often the disco would only have 2 people. Melange bar was usually good till 12:30 when the entertainment ended then whoever wanted to keep going went to the hot tub. Bar staff Jesus, Germaine and Octavio are heroes, tip them well and they'll keep it going a bit past 3 if you can handle. Warning, there is no food after 2 so stop by the pool buffet to chow down on the way to the tub. lingerie night was the best night, lots of guests involved, a few guys (3). Hope that helps. Haven't been to Cancun but everybody said Cabo is nothing compared to Cancun as far as partying goes and keep in mind, Cabo is half the size. No resort organized bar trips that we knew but a trip to Cabo San Lucas to Cabo Wabo is definitely worth it. Anyways, my second day home and I'm still hung over. Have a great trip!
