    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 granted the service in Cabo is second to none and cant be beat

    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

    Well let me start by saying the hot tub was open till 1:00 am so there was partying going on up there I assume but can't confirm how busy it was
    One night they had a private party with a DJ at the hot tub and you had to buy tickets to get in which seemed odd for a all inclusive...needless to say we didnt go to that either
    The patio bar was hopping at 900 pm so i assume it carried on till later but when I say lights out I mean lights out for me personally haha
    We are both early risers so we watched the sun come up almost every morning. Hope this helps
    Steve

    We seen it but never made it... opted for senior frogs at the harbour in the afternoon but thats it. Grabbed the shuttle back to the resort at 500 pm and got ready for dinner...After the catamaran tour I was struggling to even get off the boat!!! And then the red wine at dinner ....
