We were there from the 14th to the 21st (trip # 4) .things are not even close to the way it was when Chino ran the show. The pool side games were very weak without chinos crazy ways.
I agree The very first time i went to Temptation my friend that took me said dude you gotta see this guy hes all tatted up and pierced .. Before we knew it he had us naked playing some game..... Didnt even think that would be the case..... I have been there 16 times now and of those times chinos has not been there 2 1/2 times there is a differance with and without "the life of the party" .... My all time favorites have gotta be chinos omar lalo the trio that hooked me in to repeating ..... Also have really liked taryn, little britney ( chinos name for stephanie) and stacy this last year rocked too !!! Nothing against sara but she was not good in early august and brenda does not have a look on her face that she even wants to be there!! All of the girls i enjoyed said what a hard ass chinos was i think that is why each of them excelled .... I know i have been going multiple times a year but will probably only go in july when my Temptation family goes !!! Time to see new parts of the world !!!
Brenda told me just yesterday that she is so happy to be back at a hotel she loves. And after watching her, I can see it. Everyone has off moments..and even this forum has had some Chinos bashing on it from time to time.
Mid October visit. Brenda had just returned. She really does enjoy working there, and does a pretty darn good job. Sara can be hard to understand, too; I think it's partly a microphone issue- Brenda was sometimes hard to understand, too. They might solve some of the issue with a PA system modification. Sara is easier to understand talking to her in person, which also makes me question the PA system. Both girls have the talent for the job. No, they aren't Chinos, but no one is. He was like the Michael Jordan of the business- in a class by himself. Which makes me question why the resort can't figure out a way to keep such a unique talent there. A superstar in sports or entertainment is usually given leeway a normal individual doesn't get. Part of the problem with weak participation in games is, the staff needs to sort of "sell" the idea of getting involved to guests, especially new people. That is an art in itself, getting people to want to get in a beer drinking, belly flop, or arm wrestling contest. As far as letting the staff have the freedom to do their own thing, I think there's a lot of direction from above telling them to avoid saying certain words, don't do anything that may encourage nudity, tone it down, etc. But that starts to get into another whole discussion about the direction change the resort may or may not be making.
so i know chinos has been gone before but im starting to think by these posts that someone knows he is gone for good? does anyone really know? We are headed down there in Feb. for our 4th trip but it wont be the same and could be our last.
When we went, April and I both participated in stuff here and there- like beer drinking, arm wrestling, things like that- but it was definitely a struggle to get a lot of people involved! Sara does the best she can- she's nice enough but doesn't have that Chinos-charisma. Brenda was fantastic- whoever said that she didn't look like she wanted to be there didn't get a chance to talk to her. The real problem is that, as nice as Manuel and Jose are, they don't really bring a lot of energy/excitement to the table. As good as Sara and Brenda are, I definitely missed Chinos!
the main reason why we feal in love with TTR is the entertainment ! Just hope they get that energy vibe going again ! i dont want this to be are last trip to TTR
Here's the original thread of the story as it unfolded: It's not 100% accurate, but pretty close. (Please dont bump the thread back up by replying to it - it's kinda old news and no need to resurrect the issue.) http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/tem...0597-heard-nasty-rumor-im-working-verify.html The good news is Chinos and Omar are currently working on the cancuncare boobs cruises so you can still get your fix of madness if you come along and join us. I wont pretend this is a situation that will last forever, but I hope it lasts as long as possible. It's working well right now, but may not be the same by the time Feb/March comes around..
