My wife and I stayed at the Temptation Resort and Spa from June 16 through June 23. We have stayed in the Cancun area on many occasions, but this was the first time at Temptation. We have a very good time and laughed a lot while visiting the sexy pool.
The accommodations were fair, but not great. We had to change rooms after the first day. Our room was not ready upon arriving at the resort, as we were early. The check-in process was easy. They gave us a room with a great view of the sexy pool, but the air conditioning was not working properly. They insisted on trying to fix the unit before they would offer another room. That was unsuccessful.
The second room was very much out of the beaten path and had a view of the street! However, the air conditioning would give you chills if you walked in with a wet suit. The bed was the worst part of our stay. It was like sleeping (or tossing and turning) on a piece of ply board. We also had to tip the maid daily to get our preference of soft drinks in the refrigerator.
The sexy pool is definitely the heartbeat of the resort. All of the activity is there. The games were very funny to watch, but be careful what you volunteer for. Some of the games are a bit risqué! The drinks at the bar were good and the weather was great. Be sure to get out there early because the chairs go quickly. The relaxation pool was much quieter with fewer people. The down side is that they only staff one bar tender at the pool bar, so be prepared to wait.
The buffet restaurants’ food was average for this type resort. Be sure to make your reservations for the other restaurants because the food is MUCH better. We loved the Italian restaurant. The problem is making the reservations. They only take them from 10a-noon for that day, but you really have to get there before 10 to get in line. If you wait until 11a, you will not find a reservation opening. They only have one person taking the reservations and so you wait in line, playing musical chairs with the rest of the guests, until you get to this lady with a laptop. We never got the restaurant or time that we wanted. We always had to settle for what was left.
Overall, we had a good time for an impromptu vacation to Cancun. We have stayed at nicer resorts with better amenities and service, but I enjoyed trying something new. I recommend it for having fun in the sun in an adult atmosphere, but do not go to relax.
