Warning: Timeshare hotel!

Hotel, facilities and grounds attractive and well maintained. Very disappointed to learn upon arrival that this is timeshare hotel owned by "Mr. Cancun", although in presentation "points" was used rather than "timeshare". It "only" cost $** to buy points, receive a different colored bracelet, receive discounts on travel, access to Mr. Cancun's boat (passengers responsible for gas), jet skis, top shelf alcohol, preferred dinner reservations at hotel restaurants, other perks that I tuned out when the high pressure tactics started. Their premise to get you to take presentation is to have a tour of the facilities after breakfast. We had arranged shuttle service to and from airport and vaguely recall employee from shuttle service telling us to skip the tour of the facilities but was exhausted from long day of traveling and hadn't adjusted to the new language. As to dining experience, definitely not 5 star quality or selection and not worth waiting until 9:45 p.m. to dine because earlier times reserved in the event the "points" bracelet people showed up. Wait staff very friendly and attentive. We selected this hotel because it was all adult, all inclusive, and husband enjoyed the 2 adult tv channels plus the tops optional at the pools. As to return to this particular hotel, maybe.
Loved it!

First off, IF you are easy to please, and if you need everything to be your way, This is not the hotel for you. If you are fun, like courtesy, and easy going....bring your friends. The food was great...the drinks great (I chose doubles). The sexy pool fills up quick, and the lines for reservations aren't fun. I am ready to go again. My wife and I met lots of great people, and the staff were simply amazing. I've been to nicer hotels, but for the price this hotel was more than worth it. If you are looking to not pay a ton of money and have a great time....or if you are looking to have a great time and don't want to pay a lot of money....GO HERE.
I just got back less than 24 hours ago, and I wish I hadn't left....
You get what you pay for!

I just got back from Temptations a day ago. worth the cheap price! Seems to be a haven for d-bag single guys who wear Affliction t shirts with hawaiin surfer shorts. Beds were HARD. your back will hurt, especially if you have a bad one like i do. Rooms are average size little on the small size but very nice. flatscreen lcd tv's No door for the bathroom. Beach by the hotel x. You can't swim/walk in it because its too rocky and overflowing with seaweed. Go to another beach if you want to see your feet in blue water like i did. Pools are pretty nice, my only complaint is i wish the pools/jacuzzis were heated. It was pretty cold/windy and we could only stand the cold water for 15 mins at a time. Food was pretty good considering its free (all inclusive) You have to make reservations for the nice restaurants (bring long pants for guys, dress code). The Italian restaurant was first rate! Ignore the seafood restaurant (you have to pay extra for lobster and there's no crab legs) Alcohol was plentiful and flowed like a river. Never had an empty drink in my hand for more than a few minutes because of the top notch service. Overall the service here was great. Tips: Avoid the "welcome tour". they will tell you its not a timeshare presentation but it is. Book a shuttle/van before you go on your trip. We chose Olympic Tours Do not book activities like jet ski/snorkeling/ etc through websites. You can haggle your prices down
Wow !!!

What an awesome place..The totally adult atmosphere was great... You could swim or relax on the beach without alot of the disturbances at a family hotel.. The staff were wonderful. I enjoyed a massage , body scrub and facial that were to die for.. X, you rock! Thanks for a great vacation.. We'll definitely be back!
