Great stay

Overall we were very happy with our stay at Temptations. We had a few issues which I have outlined below but certainly nothing that would prevent us from returning! The resort is beautiful. The rooms are a perfect size and very well appointed with an amazing bathroom/shower. The common areas are vast and built to hold a lot of guests. Being new, they are only at 1/2 capacity. The drive from the airport is appx 1.5 hours but is is very scenic. The trip back to the airport was a knuckle bite [... read more]r. We basically flew…. Our first room was on the main floor in building 5. Unfortunately, there was an overwhelming perfume smell. We immediately asked for a room change. Considering the resort was well under capacity that should have been an easy task but it wound up taking appx 4 hours and multiple trips to the check in desk. We were assigned a butler who asked we call him Neil as his name was difficult to pronounce. Basically, Neil gave us a briefing. Signed us up for a welcome tour which was actually a “membership pitch” and told us he had us booked into one of the most popular restaurants for the following night at 6 pm. Too early for our liking but he said it was well worth leaving the pool early! Turns out he didn’t make any reservation so we wound up dressed for dinner at 6! The people at She informed us that they don’t even open until 7:30! We check with management who promised a reservation for the following night as did Neil. After checking with the restaurant to make sure we were booked they informed us that they were closed for that evening. We finally made our own reservation without any help from our butler. We didn’t hear from or even see again during our 7 day stay. Regarding the membership pitch, we were asked for 20.00 that would be returned when we showed up for the pitch which was only to take an hour from our vacation. We did get the 20.00 back but the pitch took over 2 hours and they don’t take no for an answer easily. In hindsight we wouldn’t agree to going. The main pool is very dark and in my opinion has filtration issues! Definitely should be investigated. Now for the positives: The wait and entertainment staff are the best I have encountered at any resort and we have stayed at 50 or more. Positive attitudes and smiling faces every day! We tipped well but because it was deserved not because we felt pressured to do so. The drinks are really good and the food was also very good. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles. We were always able to find chairs and shade. That will change when the capacity increases so more huts will be needed. This was our first time at a Temptations so we didn’t know what to expect but we felt perfectly comfortable as bystanders and would certainly go back. The buffet was only open for breakfast while we were there most likely due to low occupancy but there are several restaurant options for dinner well as a great snack bar beside the pool serving burgers, pasta, salads, etc. A bbq was set up a few days as well. The evening entertainment is top notch and we usually don’t bother with shows! The dancers are amazing and the dance party afterwards is upbeat and fun, There is a open food area for the late night partiers. For some people, especially those who like to turn in early the music would be considered too loud. The sound really echos around the resort and goes until 1:30-2:00 am. Overall we had a great week and are considering returning in April.
