Our first trip to temptations and WOW. If your a swinger or not this place is a must place to visit. Hotel: Has everything you could want from a hotel. Location is great not too far from the clubs (bus ride away) or from Downtown. the place is clean and in good condition. Staff: Without exeption everyone is great. The waiters are simply the best waiters we have had on holiday. Maids do their job to the highest of standards. Bar Staff although busy, serve you with a big smile. Entertainment Staff without being in your face are great. Food: Traditionally being hard to please when it comes to eating we did not have one bad meal in the 14 days we were there. Special mention must go to the Italian place. Simply the best place to eat at. The Wok (although not my type of food) is a must place to book. Breakfast was the same standard throughout and the BBQ's were to die for. The chefs must be congratulated. Entertainment: Although the entertainment is made up mainly of the guests, being around to watch it (if your involved or watching from a distant) is great. The entertainment staff were funny but not offence. Pool games were great although I'm sure cheating does go on !!. Different nights at the Nice Shoes place is a mixture and if you go just for ten minutes or for the duration it does not bore you. Beach games are fun wether you watch or take part in. The entertainment staff have got it spot on. Beach: Although not a big beach it is clean and plenty of loungers. It's near enough to hear the music from the pool but far enough not to drown you out either. Gym: Ok spent a lot of time in it and has enough equipment for a workout. Pools: 3 pools all cleaned daily. Sexy pool if you want entertainment, Sports pool if you want a good swim or a few games and the quiet pool if you just want to relax. Loungers should be claimed when you go to breakfast if you want a good seat. Spa: Didnt get to use it but seemed ok. Paty O's: Good place at night. Gets busy with live bands, dancers, People coming out from the Nice Shoes Place but is a good place to meet people and chat or just people watch. Sex: Nothing offended us and to be honest we never saw much going on, although were told that if you wanted action you could have found it if required. People: Although there seemed to be alot of groups of males at our time there they were no trouble at all. They were respectful and seemed to blend in. Great mix of people from USA, Canada, Mexico, Britian & Europe. They all seemed to get along well. We saw no trouble at all which was reasuring. If you wanted to keep yourslef to yourself or get into the mix the oppotunity is there. Don't be shy and you will have a great time. We met some great people friend we went on holiday with and people we met on this site, it does pay to come on here so you already know people. Security: Kept there distant but made themself known when needed, again they had it spot on. Weather: Mostly sunny only rained on the day of departure for the whole day. We have a tan that will last for months. Thought the resort was oustanding with their skincare advise as well. First place we have been where they give a 5 minute presentation on how to take care. Music: If your at the pool or in Paty O's it was a great mix. Shame some of the mixes that were put together were not up for sales as the mixture of Spanish & English music was spot on. Downpoints: If i have to mention one, and i am scrapping the barrel here there is no where to get a cup of tea after 10 (English love there tea!!) although the rooms do have a coffee maker the resort would benefit a kettle in every room. So be warned take a travel kettle if you require tea or lots of coffee after 10. I'm sure we have missed loads of points and if so let me say for first timers this place is a must. Would we go back, You better believe it we will be back next year and the following years just for the food & service alone. It does pay to tip the staff as well put they still give you a good service regardless. 10 out 10 for Temptations. It's a first from us.
Nice report, thanks! I totally agree with you about the CDs--not only a great souvenir for us, but an easy revenue generator for the resort.
You know... now that you mention it... one of the things I MOST enjoyed about sitting poolside was the music. It was always just perfect! Some great mixes, and there was even a string of probably 60-80 clips from songs that were just long enough to keep you interested, and so back-to-back that it was really quite a treat to the ears. I wonder if they will read these comments and make the CD's available to guests. I hear songs on the radio now that absolutely spark a great memory or twn from TTR back in February. Lots of the music there became an "earworm" for me -- can't get it out of my head and that's a good thing!
