Temptation Resort

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at temptations and was absolutely blown away how amazing it was. The first thing we noticed was how nice everyone was. Every staff member says hello, good morning, etc every time you walk passed them. Additionally, we thought the food at the restaurants was really good. Yea, yea, you can’t get certain items on the menu if you’re not a member. But, honestly, it’s like three items on the menu at each restaurant. The entertainment at the sexy pool is an blast! They do beer pong competitions, flippy cup, belly flop, naked volleyball, and many other funny competitions that find ways to get people naked. Additionally, the night club is a ton of fun to go to every night.
Be warned, they will try to get you to become a member. You have two choices, just suck it up and go through the presentation. The person is really nice and walks you around the resort and you get your free gift. Or, just say no thanks and deal with the few phone calls to pressure you to schedule one. We sucked it up and went through with it.
Also, make sure to get your room near the quiet pool. The night club is very loud at night and can be heard from your room if you’re close. Additionally, there are bars open at all hours of the day/​night. But, the sexy pool bar closes around 6pm. Kind of surprised us, but we just went to the other bars to supply our alcohol. No big deal.
Lastly, this place is known to attract swingers. We were approached a few times, no one was inappropriate, to ask if we were apart of the «Lifestyle.» If you come here, just be open to have fun. Everyone was extremely nice here, including the other guests. We will definitely be coming back to Temptations.

The Temptation. From what I could see it look really nice in the lobby.

Ugh… I wanted to like this place so bad… But there were a few deal breakers that really put a damper on my 30^th birthday celebration. Don’t be fooled… This is NOT a singles resort. This is a couples resort, median age around 40 – 50. We came in a party of 3 single ladies, 30 – 32.
But first, the positives:
1. The customer service is phenomenal! From the bar tenders, to house keeping to the folks that help book excursions… Really top notch service. The bar tenders and waiters work their asses off… Many 6 – 7 days per week. Tip them! They deserve every penny!
2. Drinks were great. Not bottom shelf liquor, strong and always mixed very well.
3. Housekeeping was always on point. We left them a few bucks and asked for some extra bottled water, and we got several bottles every day. They also decorated our room on my birthday with balloons and a bottle of champagne
Ok… Here’s where it goes downhill
1. The food. Oh my god the food. It is beyond horrible! Seriously… Some of the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. Even simple things like hot dogs tasted off and had a funky texture. You can tell they do not invest in quality whatsoever when it comes to the food.
2. The time share pressure to buy is a bit ridiculous. We opted not to go to the presentation, and got multiple phone calls early in the morning from the front desk asking us to schedule it. No means no! Also… If you aren’t a member you can’t order certain things on the menu, which is super lame
3. The beach is horrible. Now, this isn’t their fault… But still, don’t come here expecting a beach that’s turquoise and nice.
4. Lastly… We were given a «free upgrade» into an ocean view room… What they didn’t tell us was that there was construction going on above us. So every single day around 6:30am, we heard loud jack hammer noises. So loud we couldn’t speak to each other.
I definitely will not be back to this place.

This place is lots of fun we had a blast. I give 4 stars because needs some renovations… but was clean andbthe food, drinks and service super! We are happy we stayed here any other regular resort would have been boring. We are in our 30s.

Trashy! If you have any sense of class do not go here!
My husband and I went for our 15^th Anniversary & were gravely disappointed!
Guests were completely inappropriate! They also must water down their drinks!
The Asian restaurant was good & staff was nice.

I went to Celebrate my 32^nd Birthday with my Husband and a couple of Friends and had the Time Of My Life!!! However the evening Before our Departure I came back to my room and noticed that the Hotel Manager and Staff delivered a Complimentary Bottle Of Champagne to my Room for My Husband and I. which I felt was so sweet and thoughtful Only to Discover that they STOLE $ 300 Cash out of MY WALLET!!! I Raced DOWN to the front desk to speak to the Manager and report what had happened Only for Him to Say SORRY But there is nothing we can do for you! Then he goes in the drawer and shows me a form stating that the hotel is NOT liable for anything Stolen. The Hotel Manager never offered to Investigate the whole Ordeal or anything which left me feeling Violated and Upset.
Jesus is The Hotel Managers name and I really Feel that he was in on this Whole Situation because he didn’t seem bothered or concerned at all

I love this resort because it’s a no judgement zone you are allowed to be free & have fun I went to celebrate my 24^th birthday I thought me & my group would be the youngest but it was a nice crowd ages 24-​up .my favorite part was the topless option it was optional & ppl didn’t stare at you or frown I even saw grandmas get topless lol it was very cool and relaxing it gets wild at night in the sports pool since that’s the only pool that’s opened all night this resort is erotic so if you’re not comfortable with seeing a lot of public display affection this resort is not meant for you. I’ve witness swingers, & threesomes all while just goin for a swim lol. The people here are soooo friendly I didn’t see not one fight or rowdy crowd I highly recommend this resort if your looking for an erotic place to just be free.
Our room was a decent size and clean only thing I didn’t like was the music choice you have to be on a molly train to enjoy the techno music they play all night. Most of the activities are an hour long so be on time to enjoy it the food was delicious my favorite restaurant was the Italian, the buffet breakfast & dinner was just «okay» I prefer just going to the restaurants. I would def return back here I do a lot of research before I book anywhere and I’m satisfied

Felt like getting a nice day at the spa, booked a room for my wife and I to have a spa day. The spa room is beautiful, you feel like you died and went to heaven. When it came to getting a massage it was that great it was more sensual then a massage. The place is beautiful but read about what you are getting.

this hotel was sold to me by saying it was a singles resort full of young people and an excellent view. that whole statement is false. the majority of the hotel was filled with 40 – 50 somethings and all of them were married who were some member of some time share that they sell there, and which if you’re not a part of you will get a room with a terrible view. ONLY the members get the best view. this hotel is designed for couples, and as far as the nudity goes for being a adult hotel, well imagine you aunt walking around topless and that’s whats there. im fully disappointed at the hotel the view and the people, and especially the food. the food was complete crap. even the staff doesn’t eat the food. they are hoping you’re too drunk to know what you’re eating, however it was garbage. the steak doesn’t even taste like steak, its steak flavored leather/​rubber.
my buddies stayed in a hotel in the hotel zone called the RIU Americana palace and that place was $ 400 cheaper and 200x’s better. the food was great there and the girls were girls, not menopausal women. this hotel gives a bad name to Cancun, because Cancun is beautiful.
there is nothing to do near this hotel. you walk outside and you feel like you will be taken and sliced into pieces. its out side the hot zones.
the only reason its 2 star and not 1 is because the staff was great there. however its not worth it to eat dog/​coyote/​horse meat that they try to pass on as steak. THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE!!!

Gross and trashy. The thing that kills it for this place is the guests. A bunch of washed up hillbillies who are trying to recreate their glory days by drinking excessively and engaging in attention seeking behavior that isn’t the most, um, classy. I’m all for a party, but I’m not into getting naked for the world to see, or watching people perform sex acts in a pool full of people.
The rooms need an update, but they keep them as clean as they can considering they’re like 30 years old. The staff is nice and hard working. The beach is in a bay so no waves. The food is ok, as good as you’d expect at an all inclusive. The scene was just not my style.

Very lively, people from all over the world and of all diff ages, Boobies everywhere, all inclusive, oceanview room, ²⁴⁄₇ pool :) beach … #loveIT … I am here at the moment until Friday July 3. I deff recommend this resort to everyone … The most lively open minded diverse hotel in Cancun Mexico. I do a lot of research before going anywhere and I am very happy with my decision.

This place is horrible. Think twice about every spending your time and money here. I have no idea how this place ranks 4 stars!!!
They are scam artist! The first thing they do once you are trying to check in and get your room, they try to tell you, you HAVE to attend a time share meeting. For a thank you they will give you a free bottle of tequila and two free t-​shirts. You have to stay firm because they won’t take no for any answer. I am on vacation the last thing I want to hear is a flipping time share joke. The lady at the reception desk name Diana was the rudest of rude. All of the staff here were beyond rude they treated you like you work for them. Except for two people, Fransisco who works in the buffet and Danny who is the event coordinator. Everyone else needs customer service 101.
We were a party of 18 people celebrating my 40^th birthday. We had 9 rooms booked one being the temptation suite (don’t waste your money because the room sucked). 5 of the 9 rooms had to be change twice because the AC didn’t work, they weren’t the class of room that was paid and reserved for, or they had double beds. Even after changing the rooms they were still wrong and didn’t have an ocean view. Instead they had a beautiful view of AC units.
Our transportation company Amstar refused to schedule our return pick up until we showed up to watch and listen to a 90 minute presentation. seriously??? I am sick of being threatened to do something that I have already paid for service.
There are 5 restaurants in the resort two of which you have to make reservations for (Italian and Asian) but they could not accommodate 18 people. They wanted to spilt the party in a group of 9 at 6:30 and the other 9 at 8:30. The only three remaining was a seafood restaurant, Tex-​Mex (NO AC) and the buffet (same menu every day). The seafood restaurant was closed for 3 of the 4 nights while we where there for a special event in which you can pay $ 35 per person. The wonderful con artist concierge lady forgot to mention that at check in.
There are two sections of chairs and cabanas the pool and beach area. In order to get the better cabanas and the beach that did not have fish carcass and boat gas/​oil everywhere you had to pay extra. Mind you there was no one in those areas. Be sure to return your red towels by 7pm is not you will be charge $ 25 a towel. Don’t ask for a bottle of water unless you are a premier member or pay $ 5. I thought this was all inclusive. Oh and by the way there is NO room service.
We got the Temptation suite, its suppose to be the best room in the resort. Two of the four nights we were there our AC became the Niagara Falls. It flooded our room. I even slipped and hurt my knee. The solution from the hotel maintenance staff was to turn off the AC for 8 hours to make it stop pouring water all over our bed. Not to mention its was 100 degrees and 80% humidity. To add to that 3 of the 4 days we were there, there was this ratchet sewer smell in the room that lingers for about 2 hours at night. The solution maintenance had was to spray Fabuloso on the walls. Then yelled at us stating that it was our fault because we opened the patio door allowing the smell from the boats fishing outside. Well… there were no boats!!! Or fishing!!! We had to air out the room before I vomited. Do these people think we are idiots. All of this and NO compensation or not even an I’m Sorry.
The disco is out doors and hotter than Satan’s toe nails. It was a lot fun though. Keep in mind it was the same play list every night.
DO NOT take the Booze cruise they try to sell you on. All you can eat and drink 21 and up… LIES!!! They did not give you any alcohol until almost two hours in the trip «because someone can get hurt» and there was NO food! When we got to the food destination, it was hot, out doors, the food was old and terrible (food poisoning) and you HAD TO PAY FOR DRINKS including water. None the less there was a group of like fifteen 16 to 17 year old kids getting wasted and acting like a bunch immature idiots. The snorkeling and golf cart riding was fun for he exception that one of our golf carts broke down and we almost missed the boat.
I could keep on going with the ignorance and disgusting service. This was my 3^rd time to visit cancun and I never experienced such terrible service and facility. I stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach and Secrets the Vine… I Highly recommend them both. Maybe we have been spoiled with the true class of service.
I was just lucky that i had the best of friends celebrate my birthday and they did what they could to make the trip fun and memorable. If I could give 0 stars I would.

The people was great!!! The food was so so. Hit or miss in the buffet. The rooms were clean and the staff was great. I would come back in a heart beat. The ability for the adult only resort where there aren’t kids is great for my friends and I. We were in a VIP time share so we got the quiet pool. The drinks flowed freely. I wish there was a bit more exciting things to do that didn’t cost an arm and a leg but all in all I don’t have any complaints. I would come back. I would also recommend women be wary of leaving your drink alone. Never do it!!! Be careful and have fun.

Okay so although we haven’t officially partied at the Temptation night club, I still feel that the review may be appropriate. We’ve read a lot of reviews about coco bongo, mandala beach, daddy o’s, and others, and weren’t sure where we should go. We came across some reviews about a night club at Temptations and heard that we can purchase a night pass. I tried calling the resort to get the details, but the local Mexican number wasn’t working for me, and dialing the US 800 number, didn’t work either. We decided to wing it and take the bus for $ 1 per person since it was 5 minutes away.
When we arrived, I asked the security guard if I could enter the club and just look around to see what the scene is like. He permitted me to enter… It was midnight and there were about 25 people. It looked very empty. A desperate and drunk cougar made her way to say hello (I’m a girl btw). I quickly exited and inquired about the entrance out of curiosity at the reception desk. I was quoted $ 249 USD. We both exclaimed «USD???»…yes, folks, to enter the nearly empty and non happening club is $ 249 for two people. This is for the night pass even if you are just planning to go in for one hour. I’m sure it costs less to get the room for the entire day. What a major rip.
My advice? Don’t waste your time or $$

Great resort, asian was the best restaurant. Temptation has some of the hardest working bartenders I have ever seen.(6 out of 5 stars for them). This is not a resort for prudish people, if you are please look elsewhere. Spent 6 days here and had a blast. Make sure you clean your feet real good after walking on the beach, ended up with sand parasites on my feet and they don’t show up till you are back home.(But this can happen on any beach in Mexico. All in all great place and will surly return in the future.

You must have an open mind when staying here. The Asian and Italian restaurants are the best of the 5 restaurants, but you must make reservations. Also, make sure you wear at a minimum a t-​shirt because tank tops and flip flops aren’t allowed for dinner, except the American buffet.
Every night is a different theme, so make sure you bring something nice for the evenings. One night is lingerie night and you can’t attend unless the women wear lingerie and the men wear boxers. I had to buy my wife one at their store. She wore shorts over it and they didn’t say anything.
They have many daily activities but don’t volunteer unless you don’t mind getting embarrassed possibly. You feel like you are back in college with all the partying and drinking.
Make sure you book your room away from the Patty O Bar because they party until 2am and you won’t get any sleep.
Don’t buy anything at the over priced in-​house store. If you need something, just go to the mini-​mart across the street. You can go downtown shopping and to Walmart on the R2 bus for only $ 1US each way.
Most people are couples and very friendly. I’d advise against going solo because you will feel out of place, although I did see a guy get lucky and steel this poor guy’s girlfriend. Their is definitely a different vibe and some older couples are swingers, which approached my wife and I a few times. We are not into that kind of thing but we were flattered.
The massages are awesome, but my favorite was the Xplor theme park. We also visited the Mayan ruins but be warned that it’s almost 3 hours bus ride each way.
I had fun but my wife said it was one of her best vacations ever. She wants to come back next year.
