We had a blast at Temptation!! If you didn't already know, this is a PARTY resort- the main focus is keeping you happy, entertained, and partying! It is all inclusive, no kids, and you'll see some of everything and everyone. It is not really meant as a luxurious, relaxing vacation.
We stayed in the beachfront Seduction Suite, which although was a good walk from the tower and main pool, it was a beautiful room with lots of space, a great bathroom, and a beautiful balcony with an amazing view. Yes, I've stayed in more luxurious rooms before, but for a tropical vacation, I was very pleased. There were a few gnats in the room each day, and the AC wasn't the coldest, but again, minor issues that didn't impact our trip.
The food was just okay, but you won't go hungry. If you go to the breakfast buffet, try to get there before 930a, or else you'll be waiting in a long line. The restaurants were all pretty good- but be forewarned, if you order a steak, it will be a very thin cut!
Bartenders and drinks were great, and the night time parties were awesome! Each night has a different theme, so check out the website to see what they are and participate! You can dress as sexily as you want, day or night, and ladies can be topless at the pool.
The gym is actually amazing for a hotel and had everything you could possibly need for a good workout.
Although it is all inclusive, this is one resort where I really felt the pressure to tip. No one outright asks, but it does feel expected- so set aside a few dollars each day for servers, bartenders, or anyone who helps you.
Covid- as of 1/26/21, you are required to show a negative covid test to return to the USA. The resort does the testing for free if you're staying for at least 3 days. The procedure is very smooth and you get your results emailed in less than 30 minutes. Your temperature is taken when you arrive, and 90% of the employees wear masks at all times. There are also several hand sanitizer stations around the property. That being said, most guests do not wear masks.
The resort was extremely safe, and I never felt uncomfortable walking around by myself. In fact, I left my purse at the party one night, and a security guard turned it in. I was able to retrieve it the next day and everything was still in there- including my cash and credit card!
The only real downside is that they pressure you to attend a membership presentation (essentially their version of a timeshare presentation), and it's a pretty hard sell.
All in all, a great resort if you want to have fun in Cancun! We didn't leave the resort and had absolutely no regrets!
