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!
