Temptation Resort Cancun

Remarks:
"I went to Temptation Resort with the intention of checking it out before going to Hedonism in Jamaica next year. I won't be going to Hedo anytime soon, I will be going back to Temptation as soon as I can. It's not for everybody, but if your free of mind and willing to experience life to its fullest, theres no place better. The staff was phenominal, although I would be lying if I didn't say that I am now truly and deeply in love with (one of the staff). She is one of the Temptation Cast that conduct the events and a more outgoing and life loving person I haven't met. She's new to the job, but you wouldn't know it from the way she is always ready to go the extra mile. Mind you she didn't want to play naked volleyball, but then nobody would be looking at the ball. The only downside to the resort in my opinion is the lack of any real activities at the resort after 2230. If you don't go to the club of the day, there's not much left for you to do. That being said, I still will be going back the end of August." - Gordon from Edmonton, Canada

"My wife and I are Premier members at this resorts and just love this place. There is a wild side and a quiet side to the activities there. WARNING: This is not a resort for folks on the conservative side and forget about kids! This is ADULTS ONLY 21+ leave the kids and grandkids home! If you have to check-in on them...?? Don't come to Temptations...If you arent ready to have fun and forget about work and home life then don't waste your time or ours. Keep your drama at home. We have met so many cool couples and singles as well. The activities at the party pool is of an adult nature with crude language....if you don't like that nature...stay away. We love the fun there. The staff is wonderful. We have been going there for 8 yrs now! Another thing....Tip the staff and maids on a regular basis while you are there...These folks waiting on you have family too and need you and will take care of you during your stay. This is a topless resort with some total nudity during adult game times. (total nudity on the resort at other times is not allowed). For those that complain about mold and musty smells.....GET OVER IT!! Holy crap!! It's humid and hot there! Theres no way to keep up with it totally. They do a good job there. The resort has been upgraded in many ways. Rooms have been renovated....new wall coverings...fresh paint...updated electrical (GFCI) shock protection....upgraded bathrooms around the resort...LCD tvs in the rooms...channels 12 and 14 lol. We believe is was at a 3.0 star back in '02 but is now a 4.0 star resort. We had great weather during the week of May 1 thru May 8 2010......and will work our budget to return. You must invest in a great vacation one way or another......money well spent at Temptations (formally BlueBay Getaway) ENJOY!" - Ron & Chris from Grand Rapids, Michigan

Remarks:
"First off, I will start by saying this was our first trip without the kids in five years. We were looking for something young, hip and all-inclusive. I will keep this short and to the point. The "Welcome breakfast is a timeshare scam." You will be roped into wasting 3-4 hours of your precious vacation dealing with high pressure sales people, beware of the illegal waiver that you may sign giving up your 5 day rescission period. If you so choose to make the right decision and cancel within the 5 day irrevocable timeframe (Mexican Law).

Food -Was good at the A La Carte restaurants, Asian food was overcooked though. Would highly recommend the Italian restaurant. Buffet was same day in and day out. Breakfast is good there if you like to eat the same things everyday.

Rooms - First room was okay, view of quiet pool, one bed was hard like a rock the other okay. Moved two days later. Room was above sexy pool. What the heck time is it? No clocks in the rooms! Bed was like a rock, view was lovely, but absolutely no chance for an afternoon nap (Music TOO loud by the Sexy Pool), be prepared to pay for bottled water. They provide one in the room the first day, then you pay.

Guests - Mostly middle aged swinger type. Yes swingers. We were followed around by one particular couple for the first three days we were there! They just didn't get the hint that we weren't interested. Some single males, mostly 30+, hillbilly and single for a reason and on vacation to oogle the 80% topless women at the resort.(expect it).

Bars - Clear out by 9:30pm, so much for the all-inclusive, if you want night life, you'll be spending the extra $45-$50 per night to be escorted around Cancun to get you off the resort and stop drinking their booze.

Beach - Seaweed heaven. Dont plan on taking a dip. The bottom of the water is covered in rocks that will scratch your legs and feet." - Rob and Julie from Ontario, Canada

"This is a great resort. The atmosphere is fun and exciting. There is always something to do. The pool games are excellent and keep you entertained. We loved just sitting by the pool talking the other guests and soaking up the Sun." - Suzanne from Dike, Iowa

"We just got back from spending a week at Temptation Resort in Cancun. I just want to say that we had low expectations about this place because we read a lot of reviews about the resort. We had an awesome stay. The staff at the resort were so helpful. They upgraded our room at no extra cost. Everyone was so polite. I spent most of my time at the bar by the quiet pool. The bar tender Alfredo was the best bar tender that I have ever seen. When it says that tips are included don't go by that. These bar tenders make a total of $14 US dollars a day and need your tips. besides if you tip you get the upgraded alchohol and you also get much better service from everyone in the resort. A small tip goes a long way. I tipped 5 dollars a day to the bar tender and he had my drinks ready for me by the time I got up to the bar. If you are looking for a quiet lay by the ocean type of vacation, this resort is not for you. But if you are looking to cut loose a little bit and have a good time this is by far the best resort in Cancun." - Chris from Edmonton, Alberta

Remarks:
"Just got back from Temptation Resort tonight and were so sad to leave. Already on the computer checking rates for our next visit. We could not get a top name hotel here on Cocoa Beach for the price we paid for this resort, which includes all meals, drinks, and gratuities. Food was great at the buffet as well as the restaurants. Servers at the buffets were more friendly and attentive than in the "reservation required" restaurants. Yes, the beach is small due to past hurricanes, but the white sand is raked every morning and workers rake and haul away the seaweed that floated to the shore during the night. Hotel did complete remodel after the last hurricane and everything is new and the employees are constantly cleaning. Sexy pool is the place to be, lots of fun, entertainment and bar service is great, plus servers work the pool chairs so you never have to get up and go to the bar for drinks if you dont want to. About 75% of the women are topless, but no big deal. In fact, by day 5 we found ourselves not even noticing it but noticed more the women who did have tops on. Games by sexy pool where adult themed but not trashy. I’m sure there may have been swingers there but we were never approached and everyone was friendly and respectful. Met lots of couples that we ended up hanging out with everyday and hugged and kissed good-bye and would love to run into there again. Not once was anyone rude, arrogant, or stand offish.

One negative...avoid the "tour" of the resort that they try to schedule for you during check in. They offer you $100.00 that you can use at the resort (which opportunity is limited since its all inclusive except resort tours or jet ski rental) for one hour of your time. This is really an attempt to get you to buy an RCI 25 year membership for $40K and even though we agreed to the appointment, we told the salesman right up front that he had one hour per their agreement and that at the end of that hour we would not be buying anything and would leave and would expect our $125. At that point he had the option of either giving us our agreed upon gift and spending his time on another couple, or just canceling the appointment and wed gone on our way out to the pool. However, after one hour when we called time, he told us we had to listen to his entire presentation to get our $125. We told him that wasn’t the deal but would give him 5 more minutes to wrap it up and then when he called his manager over to sign our voucher, he told the manager that wed told him up front that we werent going to buy. The manager Pedro got ugly and told us that it was really 90 minutes and that we shouldn’t have agreed to the presentation and wasted their time. I told him that we said no 4 times and when they raised the offer to $125 plus making our dinner reservations for us, we finally consented. The appointment process was high pressure from the beginning. I told him this was the resorts program to get access to their guests and they misrepresented it so not to put that on me. After our salesman told him that Id said I would post our experience on the internet, and he responded that I was "threatening" them, he finally signed our voucher. I made a point of going down to the pool and telling everyone I saw about our experience and more than one couple cancelled their appointment. My recommendation....avoid time-share presentation at all costs. Other than this one negative experience, which you can avoid, everything else was excellent and we will definitely return again.

"Went to this location for the first time with 3 other female friends. We did not get the type of service we were expecting. We were told "NO" and "I dont Know" a lot from staff. The beach was a disappointment. The buildings of the resort are in bad shape and half of the resort area is not being used. It did seem kinda sleazy at the adult atmosphere and you could really pick-up on who the swingers were, and there were a few predators there as well. Even going as a single woman, I didn't like the sleaze element of some of the guests. The two MC's of the pool activities were downright crude, rude and abusive. I would not recommend this resort to anyone. The web page is misleading and the minute you arrive, you'll be disappointed. A low-class place." - Linny from Salt Lake City, Utah

"My wife and I are in our early 30's and just got back from Temptation. We had a wonderful time. Our room over looked the sexy pool followed by the ocean. It was wonderful. We spent all of our time by the sexy pool. That is the place were most people stay. Most of the women were topless. The activities were fun but some were very adult in nature. If you are offended by a little nudity, you shouldn't go to this resort or at least hang out by the quiet pool where things are more laid back (or so I hear). The restuarants are wonderful and the food is great. We ate at all 4 restuarants while we were there and didn't have anything that wasn't good. The wait staff is excellent. I would definitely recommend the resort to anyone who is looking for a fun resort away without kids." - Rick from Rochester, Minnesota

Remarks:
"Because of the recent "Swine Flu Scare" and the World Health Organizations warnings about non-essential travel in Mexico, the occupancy of the resort was extremely low. This was the explanation my friend and I were given as to why many of the daytime and evening activities advertised on the website had been canceled or changed. It also was the explanation as to why certain restaurants were closed while we were there. Also, the resort had been represented to my friend and I as a "singles resort," and yet, most of the guest there were couples. This made it a bit difficult to mingle with other guests. I will admit that the rooms were clean and well maintained although because of the humidity, the bedding (covers and decorative pillows) did have a soured smell. Each and every member of the staff was friendly and very helpful." - Giget from Lake Texoma, Oklahoma

"This year was our third year back. Entertainment is awesome at the sexy pool. The food definitely improved over the past 2 years with a new 24-hour food station which was awesome. The night-time entertainment was awesome. The prizes for the contests were super and all-in- all we would go back again for a 4th time. Love the atmosphere, the staff, food, rooms, pools everything...highly recommend it." - Melissa from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"We had a really good time. There were plenty of options for day time entertainment, volleyball, contests, kayaking, etc. The food was great at the buffet and the restaurants were all amazing. I would make it a point to make sure you get into the Italian place (our favorite). Making reservations only took about 20 minutes, not a big deal. The night-time activities were fun but seemed to get quiet early. Although the open bar by our room was often loud because of the music, we were so close to all of the pools and buffet that it was worth putting up with the noise in the evenings. We went out a few nights to the clubs that the resort offered transportation to and VIP passes with free booze for about 40 bucks. Very fun to mingle with other Temptation guests and dance. The cast and crew at Temptation Cancun were all lively and fun. The only need for improvement was the room service and even after our air conditioner had been "fixed" it still leaked." - Jess from New York City, New York

"We stayed here for 8 nights in November 2008. We booked through the RCI. This meant we were staying on a "room-only" basis. We could not get food or drink at any time as the hotel had no facilities for paying for food or drink.......this made the stay a complete nightmare. We were very hungry the evening we arrived and even though there are 4 restaurants we could not get any food as we were not all-inclusive guests. We did not care about having to pay, but we were not even able to pay, so we went to bed hungry! The beach was one of the worst I have ever seen, the water was full of sea weed and rocks, the sand stretch was tiny and there was a marina at each side. The room cleaners were excellent, however the rooms smelled of dampness and sewage." - James & Louise from Kerry, Ireland

"We have been to Blue Bay / Temptation Cancun about 10 times. We have also been to Desire Resort about the same number of times. They are both great. Temptation does have more fun activities in the afternoons. The rooms and the food are great. The staff at Temptation Cancun is wonderful. They add to having a great time. Temptation does have a younger crowd, which for me is fine. We are definitely going back." - Matthew & Kimberly from Dallas, Texas

"We were very upset the minute we walked in. The staff was very nasty and they lied and just pull your leg on anything you ask for until they hope you get tired of asking. The manager at the front desk was rude and very unprofessional. The room smelled like mold every time you turned on the AC. One good thing was the food was okay but the drinks are watered down and when your not looking top brand liquor is not what they are using to make your drinks. The worst part was the pool was filled with Fungus all around the rim and that was nasty. There are many other hotels in Cancun that I would go to spend my vacation. Also there is NO BEACH there so don't believe them if they tell you there is..And be careful of them selling you a time-share. They promise you everything and you get nothing, they call it the "WELCOME TOUR". They stated someone would come and show us all around so we knew where everything was located. After 1 hour of the "Welcome Tour" or TIME-SHARE they won't stop harassing you to buy. Watch out!!" - Bill from New York City, New York

"Our arrival at the Temptation Resort and Spa was early so we walked around for a while waiting for check in time at 3PM. Back to the check-in counter at 3 to pick up the key, the room is not ready... wait another half hour to finally get to the room with suitcases in tow for another 15 minutes... no one knows were the room is located. Our clothing is now sweaty and we are hot; the room is OK and modern, located a few step from the main lobby, luckily we have a newly renovated room with only the noise of air conditioning unit humming. We get unpacked and are invited to a tour of the facilities in the morning... Do not take this tour . This is a time-share and a total waste of time with sale pressure at its best ... The restaurants have excellent food, but again there is a catch... you need to reserve between 10 and 12 AM... there is a line from 9 am on most days; when you get to reserve the remaining times are 9PM and this is when the best activities take place; the shows are short about half hour so you eat or you go to the show ... this waiting is pretty bad... so your choice is you eat in a nice restaurant or view a show or go on an organized visit for the day... your choice is limited to one of those per day, might seem like a lot but it is not... you are taking an entire day to plan a half hour show or a dinner or an excursion somewhere. Free Drinks: This seems to be the reason most people comes to Temptation. Many start drinking at 10am and go on into the middle of the night. The booze you will be drinking all day is made in China... no joke! Ask for the good stuff, they do have some unless they simply fill the bottles with the cheap stuff. If you ask for a Baily you get something that is the same color and a bit sweeter and probably made in China. The wine is from Spain and pretty good. You tip when you get a drink and you get better and more booze in your drinks." - Denis from Constable, New York

"We had stayed in this hotel before, when it was called Blue Bay Getaway. With this new name: TEMPATION, the concept has totally changed! And it is getting better!! My husband and I loved this new concept. The staff is always willing to help you. The quality of the food is incredible. The best lasagna I ever tried is in there, in one of its specialty restaurants named IL Piacere. Another thing that we just loved was the lingerie fashion show! Everything was a great experience!! We are anxious to come back, hopefully in summer. And I highly recommend this hotel!" - Daniela from Miami, Florida

"We were extremely pleased with our visit to the Blue Bay Getaway, soon to be the Temptation Resort. The staff was extremely helpful, courteous, and professional. The resort is great, and we had an amazing time. However, there are several things I wish we had known before coming. First, the resort is at the end of the hotel strip and is quite a ways away from the Cancun restaurant and nightlife. This might be good to know if you want to be in the thick of it. The bus is really no problem, though, and runs 24 hours. We liked being a little out of it, finding it more peaceful and not as crowded. The resort is also on the Bay making the beach a little smaller and rockier than other resorts. It is still quite lovely and nice. If you like quiet, be SURE to request a room by the "Quiet Pool," and we would also recommend staying on the third floor if you value your privacy. Know that all Superior rooms are on the FIRST floor, so this might not be worth the extra cost. We stayed in the regular "Deluxe Room" and it was fantastic; we also travel a lot and were still so pleased with the quality. We stayed in a newly renovated room for the Temptation Resort and is was beautifully decorated and very clean. PLEASE tip your maid every day as they are underpaid and appreciate it very much. They will definitely go the extra mile. Also, GO SLIVER!!! I cannot emphasize this enough. You will be able to eat at the three a la carte restaurants every night, and this is DEFINITELY WORTH IT. My French boyfriend is a gourmet and the Italian, Seafood, and especially the Asian restaurant are on par with any four or five star restaurant in terms of presentation and taste, as far as we are concerned. The buffet restaurants dont even come close. They are two-star AT BEST. This makes the Go Silver! program worth it by itself, but it also gives you water in your room each day (that you have to request)and an unimpressive breakfast and lunch room service, too. GO SILVER!!!

Also, MAKE SURE YOU PRINT OUT ALL THE PAPERWORK INCLUDING THE INFORMATION SHEET ON THE BLUE BAY /TEMPTATION RESORT WEBSITE. You can find this with Google. When we checked in, they tried to give us the Go Blue program and we had to insist on receiving a la carte coupons for each night. This is our only service complaint. The staff is incredible and will make your stay inviting and fun! Also, please know that in talking with the staff, we found out the most resort workers make less than US $7.00 a day, so definitely tip even though the package says gratuity is included. This is just decent. You are going to Mexico to take advantage of the weather, culture, and service, so please be appropriate! A little goes a long way. And make sure you see one of the new seven wonders of the world, Chichen Itza! It is incredible, and the Best Day tour was excellent. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Make sure you swim in the cavern! All in all, the resort is incredibly beautiful and the staff far exceeded our expectations, the tours were awesome, the a la carte food was exceptional, and our room was beautiful and comfortable. What else could you ask for? Great value if you GO SILVER!!!." - Brooke & Xavier from Ann Arbor, Michigan

"The best fricken time of my life!!! The Temptation Resort is awesome!! The activities are soooo much fun and the people are just as great. Everyone has a free spirit and the staff are all very nice. They offer great Scuba Diving with a really good instructor and all of the best amenities. The only downside is that they don't have guest laundry and your clothes do start to stink after a few weeks! LOL! However, you can get them to do your laundry, but it costs about $6 American per garment. Besides that small downfall, out of the 6 Mexican resorts I've stayed at, this is by far the best!! Will definitely go back.!" - Sarah from Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
