Temptation Cancun Resort Review & 20% Off Promo Code – Worth the Fun?

Originally, I didn’t find any Temptation Cancun Resort reviews that really helped me justify the price. I wasn’t impressed with the pictures of the beach, the room, or the spa. Naturally, I almost didn’t book it.

After resort hopping at several all-inclusive resorts in Cancun, Mexico for almost a month, I got tired of moving around. When signing up for Isla Mujeres Catamaran Sail with Spinnaker Activity, I wanted to book a hotel nearby. It turned out that Temptation Cancun was right next door to the boarding dock!

Although it was a last-minute decision, we had a great time and it became one of our most fun stays in Mexico!

As a result, I have written this Temptation Cancun Resort Review for you to have an idea of what really happens here. It is an exotic all-inclusive resort that may not be ideal for everyone, but certainly a great place for those that look for fun!

Temptation Cancun & Spa All-Inclusive Resort Review

1. Location

Temptation Cancun Resort is located in Hotel Zone – 29 km (18 miles) or 30 minutes away from Cancun International Airport (CUN). The quickest way to get from Cancun Airport to Temptation Cancun Resort is to take a taxi. The cost varies from $35 to $50 (700 to 1000 pesos) depending on your bargaining skills. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many shuttle services are no longer available.

Temptation Cancun Resort is at Cancun Hotel Zone Kukulcan Km 3.5, close to downtown and the Albatros dock to depart for Isla Mujeres, perfect to hop on a catamaran for spinnaker activity and snorkeling. There is an OXXO convenience store conveniently located about a 3-minute walk across the street from Temptation hotel.

• Sky 3.5 Rooftop is the privileged topless-optional playground free of charge for Tower Guests but incurs a cover charge for other Resort guests. It is open from 11 AM to 7 PM from Tuesyday to Sunday.

• Zilanzio is a quiet bar by the pool in the back of the resort, open from 10 AM to 6 PM.

7. Temptation Cancun Resort Review Pros vs. Cons.

Pros:

1. An exotic all-inclusive adults-only resort with topless-optional areas. I have to stress that there are “topless-optional areas”! It’s not for the whole resort. I didn’t run into anyone topless beside the pool. So even if you are not into that whole topless idea, you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable in any way.
2. Located in Hotel Zone on Kukulkan Blvd Km 3.5 and close to Downtown Cancun
3. Beachfront with lots of sunbeds
4. The Tower guests have access to gourmet dining, VIP check in & check out, rooftop pool with ocean views, a full bar, and DJ music
5. Nightlife entertainment with live shows, sexy dance, theme parties, and games! Although I thought Xcaret Hotel was the best overall value all-inclusive resort in Cancun, its nightlife pales in comparison with Temptation. I even think that Temptation would beat Coco Bongo for two reasons. Firstly, you don’t have to pay extra for the show. Secondly, you can party “till you drop” and then your room would be just a few steps away!
6. Great food at the Italian restaurant.
7. This is the perfect location if you want to visit Isla Mujeres on a catamaran. The dock is right next door and you can access it through the beach. I highly recommend staying nearby because you would be so wet from Isla Mujeres spinnaker activity that it wouldn’t be comfortable adding a ride to a different hotel..
8. Clean bed with plenty of outlets to charge your phones and tablets.
9. There are several pool parties throughout the week, including Floatastic on Tuesday and Naughty Cal Foam Party on Saturday. It can be a fun experience, but if you don’t want to join the crowd, there is a quiet pool.

Cons:

1. Very basic room decor with small bathroom
2. Some restaurants require reservations. The couples-only dining restaurant with sensual entertainment show (She) starts reservation the day before, so you probably won’t make it if you stay for less than 2 nights. If you do stay at Temptation for more than two nights, make sure you meet the staff at the front desk to make the reservation at 1 PM the day before.
3. The Asian restaurant is mediocre, but there are a lot of other good restaurants. I’d just suggest you skip it.
4. The gym is comprehensive but can be quite hot and humid even with the AC on
5. There will be staff walking around in the lobby trying to lure you in for the timeshare presentation. You will get some perks for doing the timeshare presentation, but you most likely won’t have a great time listening to the 90-minute sales pitch. If what the staff offers doesn’t sound appealing to you, just politely say “no, thanks” and move on with your day.

8. What Really Happens at Temptation Cancun Resort?

Reading all the Temptation Cancun Resort reviews online made me super anxious before checking in. Its reputation as a Swingers Resort gave me the impression that only singles would come here to get laid. That thought would have prevented me from staying at Temptation if I hadn’t had a catamaran excursion scheduled early next morning right next door.

But what really happens at Temptation Cancun Resort is not as crazy as those Temptation Cancun Resort Reviews made it sound like. Yes, Temptation is a topless-optional resort, but only certain areas are topless-optional, like the pools and recreational areas. And no, I have never seen any boobs hanging out in the lobby!

9. What does Adults-Only Mean at Temptation Resort?

Typically “Adults Only” means that the hotel does not allow children. The minimum age allowed varies from hotel to hotel but usually is 18 years old. Some hotels and resorts in Cancun, such as the adults-only all-inclusive Hotel Xcaret Arte allows the minimum age of 16 years old. However, Temptation Resort prides itself as the “Playground for Grown-Ups” caters to adults aged 21+ only.

10. Does Temptation Cancun Resort offer day passes?

Temptation Cancun Resort does not offer day or night passes for sale. However, like many hotels and resorts in Cancun, Temptation has a membership program. It is also known as the vacation club, destination club, or timeshare. If you attend a timeshare presentation through a promoter, you will receive a gift in exchange for your time, which could be a free excursion or a day pass at Temptation Cancun.

11. What do you wear to a Temptation Resort?

There are theme parties with a certain dress code every night. If you want to join in on the fun, make sure you pack accordingly. These theme parties are in order from Monday to Sunday, but the hotel reserves the right to change the themes without notice.

• Temptation Emergency with dress code: doctors, firefighters, police, etc
• Pink it Up with dress code: sugar pink
• Back to School with dress code: schoolgirls and nerds
• Lingerie Mascarade with dress code: mask and elegant casual
• GLitter Bomb with dress code: glittering, glamorous outfits
• Burning Land with dress code: customize your own creation
• Graffiti Glow with dress code: bright neon

If you forget to pack clothes that fit the dress code, you may be able to purchase them at the resort’s sexy stores but prepare to pay a higher price. Alternatively, you can order them at HUSTLER HOLLYWOOD with the promo codes towards the end of the article and pack them with you.

12. Is Temptation Cancun Resort Good for Singles or Couples?

Temptation Cancun Resort is a very fun all-inclusive resort for singles to mingle and make new friends, but it’s also a great place for couples to enjoy themselves. The night shows and theme parties were so fun! And I actually met a lot of older couples at Temptation!

To sum up, Temptation Cancun Resort has a sexy and exotic vibe that is suitable for singles and couples alike, as long as they are looking for fun!
