This was our first trip to an all adult resort. Although it is topless, it is definitely not a Lifestyle filled resort. We did meet a few swinger couples, the majority of people were vanilla or single. The singles were respectful (as was everyone)...it was not an issue. We still had a fabulous time and would recommend it.

Food was great.

Resort was VERY clean and nice.

Nightly entertainment was average. The events only lasted about an hour and then they wanted to shuttle everyone off to an area night club (where drinks were not included in price) and you have to arrange your own transportation back to the hotel. The BOOZE CRUISE was awesome...do it - - it is worth the $$$.

Daytime entertainment was fun..maybe a little wearing after 5 days in a row...but they are crazy and fun and will give you a chance to interact with others if you are shy.

We spent the extra $$$ and got a jacuzzi suite., The jacuzzi was nice, but we only used it once. Next time, we will get a regular room and stay an extra night for the same price. We just didn't spend enough time in our room to make it worth it.

Our only real complaint was that someone stole our Blackberry out of my bag while we were at the pool. Shame on us for not leaving it in the safe..we should have known better. We saw one vagrant wonder into the pool area begging for money and smokes. Just be aware of your belongings.

My husband and I booked this resort for our one-year wedding anniversary and we were not impressed. We stayed at Excellence in Punta Cana for our honeymoon, which we absolutely loved, so we thought we would try another all-inclusive that is adults only. We chose Cancun because it had the cheapest airfare and we chose the resort for the same reason, it was well within our budget. Upon arrival at the resort, you are asked to schedule a breakfast tour the following morning. We were told that this is when we would be shown around the resort and given more details for activity choices. We were a little skeptical, but we went anyway figuring it couldn't last that long. Well, we were suckered into a timeshare presentation that lasted 3 hours! Such a waste of valuable vacation time not to mention the pressure put on you to buy! My husband and I are also picky eaters, so we didn't care for the food at all (everything was seafood or had mushrooms in it). We didn't like the activities during the day or at night. Unless you want to drink there is nothing else for you to do. We booked excursions just to get away from the resort as much as we could. The room smelled moldy and nothing dried. The air was on high, but we could hardly feel it. There is little to no shade by the pools, so we were sun burned several days in a row. If you wanted anything extra, they charged you for it (like a glass of champagne). Do not book this hotel if you are going for a relaxing romantic time.

The hotel is gorgeous, the staff was the best. we had lots to do the whole day round I can assure you that you won't run out of things to do from naked volleyball to Langerie Poker night. Me and my partner had lots of fun.
The food was great and the room was clean and very nicely decorated.
The only thing that i didnt enjoy was the beach, its full of algae and its not what i expected but the rest made up for the beach, the sports pool where we did have lots of fun, and the pool bar where everybody was drinking and playing games.
Overall this hotel is an excellent 4 star, we had lots of fun and so dideverybody else that was there so don't listen to all the bad review because thats just people being silly.

BEST HOLIDAY EVERRRR!!!! Great Hotel

I booked this "resort" because it was all-adult and from their website it looked very nice. Upon arriving (after passing all of the beautiful resorts on the Caribbean) we arrived at Temptation. It's an older, tired structure. The outside patio area is old and worn and the greenery must still be suffering from the last hurricane. The room was nice although there were those "bathroom flies" in the bathroom. There was no tub, but the shower was large enough for two. The pool area could have been nice if you weren't assaulted by blaring, obnoxious music non-stop. The drinks were watered-down and the food wasn't very good. I'd rate the food as a 5 on a 1 - 10 scale and the drinks a 3. I will say the pool atmosphere is very fun and friendly and the staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. The beach isn't a beach. Temptation is sandwiched in between 2 marinas and the water is not inviting and smells fishy along with the bottom being covered in sea grass. I booked for 6 nights and remained one. I would not recommend this to anyone over the age of 25.

WOW! This was our second visit to Temptation and fourth trip to Mexico. It was fabulous! We have use Fun Jet & Lomas for all four visits. Plane landed at 10:10 am and we were checked in & in the pool by 11:05! The theme of the hotel is Garden of Eden & the forbidden fruit (the apple) with Adam & Eve. hence the name Temptation!

Check in was fast. They ask you to see the "concierge" polity decline or go over to the desk and decline information. It is actually an attemp to sell you a time share and participate in a "Breakfast tour " that takes up to 3 hours of your time. We have never done it but have heard about the aggrivating time. We are considering buying a time share and will take the time when we do.

We had a GREAT room (2312) It was off the O' bar so it did get loud at night but never kept us up. Room was clean, Fantastic view, and air cond. worked well. Try channel 12 & 14 on the tv! ;) Hair dryers, irons, and iron boards in every room. No clocks or alarm clocks! We liked this though as we are on holiday and dont care about time! You get used to it...its nice..we did bring a travel alarm clock to use the last day so we did not miss our flight home!

Occupancy was down so we did not need dinner reservation at the restaraunts and the Buffet was closed at lunch. Breakfast buffet was good but same every day. The three specialty restruants were fantastic. Favorite was Mediteranean (Great seafood), then Italian (Great Veal) & Asian(great spring rolls) They all serve a complimentary house drink that was usually chapange with grenadine or melon liqour.

Drinks were ok. Favorites were Tequilla shots, tequila sunrise, Bahamma Momma, Beer(Cerveza) Rainbow shots, drunken monkey & Champange. We were given two bottle of complimentary champange in our room ...I think becuase I brought the staff a gift.

Though occupancy seemed only to be at 35-40% the staff and entertainment crew was FABULOUS! Bartender and waitstaff we great. Walking around the resort all the staff was friendly & curteous. The entertainment staff were a "HOOT" & marvelous. The games and event around the Main "sexy pool" (loud) were incredible and adult oriented. Think sexy Newly wed games!

The staff organized lots of activities- Tequila volleyball(so much fun played 6 games!), water polo, horse shoes, free sail $40 for 40 minutes. Took free scuba diving introductory lessons in pool!

There are 3 pools: 1.Sexy pool(main) where activities and games are & music,with swim up bar 2. Quiet Pool with swim up pool away from noise very relaxing. 3. Sports pool for water sports. The beach is way bigger than last year with lots of room and white sand beach.

Our opinion is this is not a swinger resort( we were never approached & did not see it) There are Topless women by the pool (probably 80% of ladies go topless) There is no preassure to join the fun and games and they are hilarious to watch. Most vacationers here were late 20's to late 40's. You will need an open mind in relationt to the games, shows and entertainment. This is an adult resort (no kids!) No spring breakers tearing it up. You can relax on the beach or quiet pool and have a blast at the Sexy pool and shows at night!

When you get to your room : before the bell hop leaves ensure your safe is open! It must be open then closed to reset your own combination. Avoid using the hotel phone in the room it is costly. We got free updated calling plan from verizon to use our phone in mexico look into that. Minutes cost more but could keep in touch with family and confirm ground transportation.

So much fun and activites there is no need to leave the resort day or night. We never did. Last year we took the 70 cent short bus ride to the market.

The location of the hotel in the Cancun area is not our favorite as the beaches to the south in Playa del Carmen and Playacar are prestine and more secluded but temptations is by far our most favorite resort! We love the value, deals and service we get through Fun Jet.

If you are an open minded couple open to new things, fun, SUN & sand you will enjoy this place. We will be returning again next year! If this was a helpful review for you, please indicate on this review that it was helpful!
