Has anyone been to both Temptations Resorts?

[ronandsheila]

Hello. My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Temptations resort in Cancun and we are now curious about the Los Cabos one. I really loved going to Temptations but I usually don't go to the same place twice. Since I liked it so much, I would consider the Los Cabos one. Are they almost exactly alike? What are the main differences.

[ronandsheila]

Haha, I will post my own reply. Sorry, this is like a lot of the other threads I have been reading. I am getting an idea of what Cabos is like. thanks.

Los cabos resort is great. This forum is dead and I wouldnt make up your mind on going or not on how many replies you get lmao

Go you will have a great time.

We have been to both and if you would like a review, pm us.

We have been to the Cancun location 3 times and have a GREAT time each. This year we visited the Cabos site and had a GREAT time. The people you meet at both locations is what makes the experience so fun. We've never been disappointed. A big PLUS for the Cabo's location is the roof top HOT tub. First, it's actually HOT! Typically the hot tub area fills up towards the end of the day and right before dinner. There's a swim up bar and the atmosphere is usually very fun. The Cabo's resport is smaller but I think you would enjoy your stay.

Rob,
Fill me in on any Cabo info you get if you wouldnt mind, I am open to trying something new, as long as the airfare and price is similiar and we can get a good group going...

[Partydollgirl]

I think we would concider Cabo as well if we could get some of the April Addict group to go ..

we were book there for April but changed our minds and went back to ttr cancun..

Thats what I was thinking Kim, If we could get a group together to try something new...but for me, it would depend on the price difference, as I always have fun in Cancun and as we found out in April, there are always good people there... I would love to try some where new after a decade in Cancun...but I wouldnt shed a tear going back there for another april either lol

I agree Totally.. I think from Calgary it was a shorter flight and a bit cheaper .. but I dont handle booking our vacations.. Brewster could confirm that better..

the only thing that makes me even think of doing a change is the weather.. not that it stopped any fun that was had..and i know that the rain we had was uncommon but I have heard also that the Beach and weather is better.. but like you said.. I dont have an issue at all with going back to ttr cancun..

we already have about 10 interested and have verbal commits and they say "if you guys go we are in"

this might be a great opportunity to combine the two groups for some fun

i have heard nothing but good things about this place

major advantages for our group

(1) our group typically likes to hang at the resort (85 percent of the trip)and from what i can tell this place is ten times better than cancun for that type of group as they do not even take groups away from this location on a nightly basis..............as they do in cancun

(2) can actually stay in the hot tub/pool till 3:00 a.m.

(3) food is great and you dont have the reservation mess there

(4) cabo weather - practically no humidity to speak of (from what i recall from our previous trips there in the early 2000's) and you dont have to worry about it raining you out as they get very little rain there

(5) they have some great nightlife (very different from cancun) that would be kind of cool to check out

(6) i would almost be willing to fly there just to eat at ediths (place is awesome)

(7) price is very similar

(8) fact is we could all go to a holiday inn and have fun but might be nice to mix it up for a change

(9) we can create a booze cruise for cabo that week

(10) its much smaller than cancun and we could truly have the place to ourselves if we combined our two large groups

also im not sure if cancuncare has had any other invasions of this magnitude and might be kind of cool to be the pioneers and do a few stellar trip reports

Been to both. Cancun five times, Cabos this past April.

Would definelty recommend it and are already considering going back. The only downside was the flight from Toronto is about 4 1/2 hours, Cancun is three.

We went all in for 2150 C$, right now I can't get close to that price because we are definelty considering going back.

Loved It

thanks bob and barb

looking forward to getting the pics

i can definitely say 100 percent that tonya and i are going between april 1 and may 1 2011 to temptation cabo - that much is all but done

...........and i know for sure that pops/lisa as well as steven/kendra and hillbilly/mike will be in fer sho

have heard from james/lee, that they will be in and im certainly expecting a crowd of at least 30 by the time it is said and done

from what i have learned from the past is that the sooner you make the commit the more time you have to find the right deals

thanks again for your input

We went with a group of 11 couples last year. We usually go as a group to Desire but decided to go to Temptation Los Cabos because it was cheaper and a shorter flight for those of us on the west coast (Ca, Wa, BC, etc.) You are correct.....it is a smaller resort and great for groups. We kind of "took over" the places...adding lots more people to the fun. The roof top jacuzzi is party central between 4- 7 pm and from 11pm to 3 or 4 am.....The food is above average for an AI resort and the staff is excellent. We went into Cabo a couple of nights with a group and had a blast. We love it much better than downtown Cancun. In Cabo, all of the bars/clubs are an easy walk from each other. You guys would have a blast in Cabo. We prefer much more than TTR Cancun

I think Kim and I would be in for that, if we can get the group together there.

The weather is a big plus. Kim and I have friends that have been there often and from what they say, it's a great place.

as most of our groups have been to cancun a few times - might not have to twist their arms too much to try another place

i will say that this time im staying longer than thursday night through - sunday

I'm not sure how much has changed since Desire Los Cabos became Temptation but here is a link to some pics of the resort as it was.

Perhaps someone that's been there recently can let us know if there are any major differences?

Well The pictures definately look nice, Id be happy to see some waves in the ocean on a trip for once too... Im am going to spend some time checking prices out of NYC for air and the stay, if its similiar and with the group that is already showing interest, I would def be interested in giving it a shot and showing Cabo how to party for ten days ....or so, I may actually try to sleep on the next trip once in awhile though

You should start a New thread for your plans... while we all follow your postings around the board.. your plans might be hard to find here on this thread? I'm thinking any ways...

if you april guys were to be interested and seriously consider it -------

would those april dates work with those of you who might be interested in doing a cabo trip?

if so ill post up as our dates are very flexible and we can pretty much go any time that is suitable for those that might be interested

Just a heads up buddy...I don't think the girls in the pics are actually part of the resort.

You are welcome to post some pix, I'll allow you to use your discretion, I trust you with that, there is nothing that I sent you to be worried about, some of the pix are of Mrs B and myself and don't show much of the resort or area, if you feel they qualify, go ahead, if not don't worry.

I just can't be bothered, I started and did a few and then forgot my password and am getting swamped at work and can't seem to multitask that well.

Thanks
