All I can say is Awesome... Let's start at the beginning, we were planning a trip with 4 couples sometime this past July, we were all over the place (US, Mexico) in the beginning and somehow we ended up at Temptations, I think just searching Expedia we fell upon this resort. After arriving at the Cancun airport I got the dreaded red light, they went through all of our bags and we were on our way. We used USA Transfer, $65 for 4 people in a private van, we made one stop at 7-11 for a six pack of Dos XX and we were on our way. Better than stopping at multiple resorts. We arrived about 1pm our room wasn't ready but our friends' room was so we grapped our suits, headed to the sexy pool and grapped a drink. Our room was ready about 4pm. We were in the perfect room 2113 First floor, patio walked out to the sexy pool and main door walked out to the Pady O lounge, never too loud. By the time we went to bed we just passed out and never heard a thing. No towel cards were needed, my husband just reserved towels each morning about 8am, with a close location to the pool it was a piece of cake. He did sign one day for towels and when we checked out they said we owed money because we didn't return the towels, he told them we did return them and they said ok "just sign here that you returned them." No problem. No reservations needed for dinner, we ate at the Asian restaurant, the Italian restaurant, skip dinner the next night then back to the Asian (our favorite-get the spring rolls). We never made it to any of the "nightly shows", not sure why just didn't happen. Each time we tried to go to Nice Shoes it was closing, wished it would have stayed opened later. Pady O was fun. Did a couples massage one morning best $120 we spent. Playboy was there that week and they had some contest for a new show. Also DJ's at the pool during the day. One was ok, the other was great-she was from some club in Vegas (forget her name). Chino was there he was great can't imagine the place without him, the others working with him were Chris, Tina and blonde girl from Canada. They were tons of fun. We walked acroos the street to some small market (next to the open air church) for souviners for the kids 1/4 the price of the hotel gift shop. Best night was skinny dipping in sexy pool at 2am, security said the pool was closed and we needed to get out, so at 5am we did get out, went to bed and woke up a few hours later to catch out flight home. TIPS- 1. Don't tell them it's your birthday...bad news for the poor girl. 2. Get to know the bartenders they are amazing. 3. Tip your maid and ask for water-she will hook you up. 4. Get an insulated cups, didn't think we needed it until we were at the bar every three minutes for another drink because their cups are small and it melts fast in that heat. 5. The waiters make about $4.50 per day, please tip them, they derserve it. 6. Go topless, never would have thought I would have but did and loved it. Met tons of fun, interesting people and had a great times...we WILL be back! We are going to take the kids down to a different resort and the sooner we do that the sooner we can be back. Anyone know of great all-inclusive for kids? Also the best time to go back to Temptations?
Thanks for the trip report. Glad you had fun. Any pix? As for the best time to go to TTR...Anytime is good but there appears to be about 4 times during the year that people from this board seem to go. The end of Feb., The month of May, Labor Day, & the month of Oct. This doesn't mean other times Aren't good but these times seem to be very popular with repeaters. Scott
Okay, as a first timer, I have to ask. What happened to the poor girl? It will be wife's b-day during our stay. Just wondering if we should really keep it to ourselves or not. The whole point of going during her b-day is to celebrate and party. Any suggestions or stories from others are also more than welcome.
So she laid on a table, naked and they covered her with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, cherries...dressed her up just like a birthday cake and people (some kinda creepy) lick it off of her.
Very interesting...sounds like a great idea for the room later on. Not sure how my better half would react to that poolside - especially if, like it says in another thread, there are cameras everywhere. This would probably make a big difference - So was it random kinda creepy people just stepping up to the buffet dessert line or did the b-day girl get to invite people to partake in her b-day cake?
