    I frequently check the travel websites for prices. Thomas Cook (in the UK) has updated their TTR page from what was advertised a few weeks ago. I've copied & pasted notable additions:

    What's included in the All Inclusive package?
    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Unlimited à la carte dining at a choice of five restaurants for dinner
    • Premium brand drinks at the bar served until 2am
    • Free Wi-Fi (limited service)
    FOOD & DRINK
    • Rain buffet restaurant with show cooking and theme nights
    • Amores Mexican à la carte restaurant
    • Sutra Asian à la carte restaurant
    • Romanza Italian à la carte restaurant
    • Raw seafood à la carte restaurant
    • She couples-only restaurant
    • Caffeine French/Italian bakery
    PAYABLE LOCALLY
    • 24hr room service
    • Affair Grill restaurant (included for all Tower Room guests, reservations required)

    Since they're advertising Affair as reservation only, does that mean the other places won't need reservations? I'm very happy if that's the case. I like to eat dinner early when the restaurants have just opened, but I was useless at remembering to make reservations.

    I wonder how much extra they'll charge if you want to dine at Affair and don't have a tower room? Hopefully no more than the prices of the pay food options they had before.

    SHE 'couples only'? I assume that's a restaurant full of tables accommodating only two people on each.

    I noticed it says bar until 2am, does that mean bar closes completely at 2am, or doesn't serve alcohol after 2am? Or doesn't serve premium alcohol after 2am? TTR's website still says Bash open until 6am.

    Free Wi-Fi. This will be helpful, but is it time limited, or space limited? Hopefully space limited. I have no problem sitting in the lobby if I need the free service, but if it's like 30 minutes free that's not cool. We're paying double for the old TTR. Paying for Wi-Fi shouldn't even be a thing.

    I think they are just calling out that Affair is for tower rooms only. It was highlighted as a perk for getting a tower room in our reservation for a tower room. I don't think them calling out that a reservation for tower room people is required means the other restaurants won't require reservations. I think it means anyone can go to the other restaurants and tower room only in Affair.

    i think with she they are going for an intimate sexy sensual environment for you and your significant other. I agree it will likely only be tables for 2 which is fine with us. If we want to go with a group we will just go to one of the many other options. Sometimes a nice dinner with your sweetie is what is needed after days of partying.

    And free wifi hopefully means just that... free wifi like most resorts these days. It didn't work well before so we will take whatever they can provide and be happy with it I guess. Hopefully it is better than before.

    Thanks for sharing all that info. Gets us excited!

    I've seen a few new things on the actual TTR website.

    They are saying "Discretion is of the utmost importance at Temptation Cancun, so day and/or night passes are not available."

    How many pools does the resort offer?
    Temptation Cancun has two pools: The Sexy Pool (topless optional) where all the daily action happens and the Quiet Pool, with 3 Jacuzzi's, offers the most relaxing spot. (I'm wondering if they are real jacuzzi's????)

    I really hope they are not calling the fun holes in the pool jacuzzis again. Would be nice if they actually added jacuzzis for sure.

    I actually don't mind them charging extra for perks. I've paid for bottles of wine and Redbull, and my better half has paid for better cuts of steak in the past. I truly wonder if they're going to enforce no alcohol service after 2am. It would fit with the new vibe they're going for. Doesn't affect me too much, as I have a self-enforced no alcohol after 1am rule, after enduring too many terrible hangovers!

    Also, it doesn't sound like they've made up their mind yet about the pool situation


    (08:48:15)
    Maranda:
    I was wondering about pool hours now that the sport pool is gone. Will there be a pool open 24 hours?
    (08:49:35)
    Temptation Cancun Resort:
    por this moment, the pool we have a time
    (08:50:16)
    Maranda:
    I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean
    (08:54:15)
    Maranda:
    I speak some Spanish if that is easier for you
    (08:57:17)
    Temptation Cancun Resort:
    claro
    (08:57:39)
    Temptation Cancun Resort:
    le comento, ahora no sabemos si va a tener un horario especifico o estara abierto las 24 horas
    (08:58:25)
    Maranda:
    gracias, pero, es possible que puede cambiar luego
    (09:00:14)
    Temptation Cancun Resort:
    probablemente
    (09:00:38)
    Maranda:
    gracias para su tiempo
    (09:01:26)
    Temptation Cancun Resort:
    estoy para servirle

    the part in Spanish basically says "right now we don't know if there will be a specific schedule or if it will be open 24 hrs"

    Or, get a group of couples tables together with friends and the girls get up and switch tables after each course....
