Temptation Cancun??

Hello everyone,

Can anybody give me some information on Temptation Resorts in Cancun?? We will be going back to Hedo 3 but not until March 2010 and were thinking of a quick trip to Temptations..Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Karen

We have been to Temptation several times but we are going to Hedo 3 for this first time very shortly.

Temptation is topless only at one pool. The poolside activities are fun if the crowd gets involved. Their "cast" has really changed a lot lately (Chinos was the life of the party then came T who was also good but both are gone now). The replacement staff is not as energetic.

Based on the prices...which are extremely reasonable right now....we would go back.

Thanks for the info..Cheap is right!! 5 days 4 nights= $576.00 for 2 people

If you have been to Hedo, You will be bored to tears at Temptations. Pools including hottubs were closed at 8pm I think. You have to take the bus to the Cancun strip if you want any excitement after 10pm. The bars on the strip can be alot of fun though.
Comparing Hedo to Temptations is like apples to oranges. Two totaly different leagues.
Oh yeah staff also does not come even close to the friendly staff in Jamaica.

Well the obvious is Temptations is topless only.

The main problem is that they promote guests LEAVING the resort at night. They promote the trips into town to hit the lounges leaving the resort dead. They even turn UP the lights in the disco at night so that it's not fun at all to dance in there. Music is awful and it's very unappealing to be in in the disco.

The main buffet is pretty bad.

The specialty restaurants are incredible. Just awesome! Loved the service and quality of food.

We felt the service staff went out of their way to pamper and cater to you. Entertainment crew was just "ok".

The resort itself is beautiful...but again,as mentioned above, pretty dead in the pool and hot tubs after hours.

You can dress pretty sexy, but most people will not take it to the level that they do at Hedo.

You have a lot of options for things to do away from the resort. As mentioned above, you can't really fairly compare it to Hedo...it's just a different trip. It's not suppose to be Hedo but it's not suppose to be a family resort either.

A great place to do some sightseeing, off campus, at a rock bottom price -- and still have fun. Nice rooms, good specialty restaurants, easy side trips.

But if you ONLY want the Hedo experience, that's not it. We had a great low cost, fall vacation at the old Blue Bay (Temptations), nearly caused a scandal in UK newspapers, met some great people, and had enough change left over for the next trip to Hedo.

We really Like Temptation and go every year. The prices are incredible since they are about half of what you would pay for Hedonism. A lot of fun people there as well. The nightlife is getting a little better but they still promote getting people to go to the big nightclubs with the staff. They toned down the timeshare sales pitch the last time we went as well so that was nice. There a couple of boards that are Temptation themed you may want to visit. All in all a great fun place for like minded adults.

Thanks for all the info!!..We will be back at HEDO 3 in March but wanted a quick fall trip at an adult only resort at a good price so were on the way.

The timeshare pitch was non-existent on our last visit in October 2008. The resort has been remodeled. Pool/spa hours have changed. At least one bar is open 24 hours. The disco has been moved and the lights are no longer turned up at night. The trip to Coco Bongo is worth it. That is one of the best shows that I have seen outside of Vegas or New York.

There is a lot of concern among the Temptation faithful that it is being restyled in the Desire format. I don't know about that but it is a cost effective trip.

The Italian restaurant has really good beef carpaccio. The Chinese restaurant is also very good.

Many changes have been made but from what I can tell, it is not Hedo nor will it ever be...

W are a big fan of Cancun and go almost every year. We've been to Temptation Cancun and it was a lot of fun with ongoing activities at the pool and quiet calm lagoon water to do water activities. Keep in mind, it will probably be very tame compared to Hedo. There is an adult pool that plays club music all day and plenty of activities, but everything ends around 8pm. They promote their club package for the night time which is what we do, because we love to dance and enjoy nightlife. Coco Bongo is a must do. Hope that helps!

I searched the Temptations site and the rates were actually more than Hedo III for the week between Christmas/New Years. Where is the best place to book a trip to Temptations?

We always use GTAHOTELS.com or Kayak.com for great TTR rates

I also agree with other posts. While the price point is attractive in a pinch (since airefare to Jamaica and Cancun are similar) the reality is that Temptaion is beautiful but it is no Hedo. Went with friends from Canada and were there over New Years. Great New Year's Eve party but the crowd was tame and very clicky. We found that folks dressed conservatively in the evenings and even during the day at the "fun" pool - only a dozen or so women actually went topless. Servers were intermitent in the pool area and just found overall that folks at this resort, while generally nice -- just were not friendly. I would consider going back (and again it is beautiful beach and nice big pool) but relatively dead in the evenings. Just not really my cup of tea - then again, just my opinion :)

Wondering how this place is, the end of November, for a cheap trip. And how about going as a single woman...anyone have suggestions or should I just wait for Hedo in February???Thanks for any advice!

Well, I have booked my trip to Temptations Cancun, if anyone is going around the same time..November 20th to 27th. Anyone else going and want to meet for a drink,send me a message! LOve to hear from you!

We are 7-time Hedo 3 orphans now :(. We just booked a trip to Temptations for January. We are not expecting a Hedo experience, just hoping we can meet some nice people and lay in the sun while it is cold and miserablel back in Illinois for a cheap trip. The thought of tanlines is not conceivable. I'm sure some of the thihgs that happen at Hedo, happen here, just behind closed doors.

To all,
Going to Temptations in March for our first time. First time to an adult resort and first time to Mexico. Any suggestions?

We like to drink and get wild at times. Does this place really slow down after 8 like some of the reviews say? If we have to go out clubbing for entertainment, where should we go?

Welcome to the forum....been to Temptation when it was called Blue Bay Getaway.....the place died down around 11 p.m.

Yeah they want you out of there early evening. They push the trips to the clubs. I suppose they get a cut from the clubs and your not drinking the resorts booze all night. Not much to do in the evening other than enjoy a good meal and maybe sit on the beach with a drink in hand. No hot tubs to lounge in either.... But it is fun during the day time... It is what you make it..... Enjoy....

Check out the website cancuncare.com. There is a much more active forum about Temptations. We were there is December. It was very nice, but doesnt compare to a Hedo vacation in our eyes!

Try Desire Resort in mexico. We found it comparable to hedo. Can be naked and sexual activity does happen in public. Not so much during the day, but night time in the playroom of the disco, the hot tub, or beds next to the hot tub are usually busy. The difference we found with desire, is that Hedo always has people out 24 hrs, but there has been dead time in there, such as the club not getting busy until 11 or later. Desire starts their show at 9 and everyone heads to the club right after. Then people scatter to the roof top hot tub, which has a swim-up bar.

We were big Hedo 3 fans and we thought we'd try something different this year. We checked out Temptation. My review is as follows. Very nice resort, better accomodations then hedo, food was good beach was nice. This resort while a good vacation spot is NOT comparable to HEDO. First its topless only, second they allow photography at their "sexy pool" and there is no shortage of creepy guys with cameras and camcorders on hand to take advantage of that freedom. Second the resort is about a 50 50 split between couples and single guys aged 20to 25. The young guys really can be challenging, there were several altercations between angry husbands and young men while we were there. One day an activity at the "sexy pool" had to be halted due to lack of respectful cooperation from a drunk single guy and on another occasion a couple of single guys had to be physically removed from a "lingerie theme party". All in all the resort is good value, its a nice trip just dont go expecting anything Hedo like.

we were at Temptations in cancun last summer... and i have to agree if ya been to Hedo, you will be bored at Tempations... the crew sure tries to get everyone involved during the day "Chino" is the life of the party during the day, but gone in the evening. We went for 4 days and 3 nights and all i could say was lets please go back to Hedo! Nothing against anyone there, we met some great people but other than that we were bored :/ The ladies get to be topless, the pool closes around 7, and some of the food was bad...and if ya dont get up early to put a towel on the lounge chairs ya better hope ya catch someone leaving to grab their chair... otherwise ya not getting one. Its just nothing like Hedo!
