Aloha All,

First off I feel for anyone that didn't get to go in May. You all looked so sexy.... =-)

We book our vacations a year in advance and look forward to them all year.

We are all wondering what the new normal is? We have been trying to figure out whats going to happen? We were able to get AMAZING rates and change the booking for us to longer, and we have had to redo our plane tickets etc. But we are wondering about what the resort is going to do? Are they going to offer less activities? Has anyone been to the resort when the occupancy is very low? We are guessing that we will have the run of the place for the most part. I know that many of you are wondering the same thing? We plan on posting here about what we learned and would love to hear about others experiences.

Does anyone have a good source of information we can look at?

Thanks in advance.

At this point, I don't think anyone (including the owners) really knows what's going to happen and when. As far as what happens when there's a small crowd, we experienced it once several years ago. The only real difference was that there were a lot fewer swingers (and those who like to play with swingers) than normal. It was our least fun week out of 20+ trips.

I went last september and recall staff saying it was at about 60% capacity. Less swingers but still managed to get into some fun. All depends on your attitude, I honestly would just be super freaking happy to be able to get away after our April trip was cancelled.

I think everyone is in a "we wont know what the new world looks like till we are there mindset"

Probably the best thing to do is to sign up for the temptation email newsletter (from the main website) and or join Facebook group that Steve owns, he seems to be updating as he gets new info (posted a bunch of new airlines flying come june 1st this week)

OK I think we already subscribed to the hotels page. Thanks for the idea. Not sure about the social media ones... Is it this one ? Welcome to Temptation Social I feel for those folk who couldn't go in April too! =-0 Forgot about that month. I think that we are determined to go even if we have to wear a mask in sexy pool!

Totally random question.... Can we bring floats to the pool?

Temptation social is the resorts social media meet up platform. The other is a facebook page.
Oh yeah! I've been making masks, myself like crazy, currently no one is buying custom lingerie or corsets in a pandemic, lol

Yes, you can take pool floats! I have seen a few over the years.

Doesn't look like any Canadians will be going anytime soon, still in lockdown especially for non essential trips, and you are forced quarantined when you return for 14 days. Unless you got 3 weeks vacation from work, most people will be waiting till this restriction is removed.

Well we are very excited, but trying to temper it.... I have a feeling that things are going to be anything but normal around the end of June. We had fun excursions planned like going to swim with the whale sharks and of course the boobs cruising being the top of my list... I have a feeling that many things just wont happen etc... recently our community has started to open things up and I read about the concept of PODs somewhere...

I think the main focus was "keep it exclusive … and keep it small.” This is not at all what I was dreaming about with temptations... but what do you all think of that concept? Maybe with occupancy low we can score the penthouse and keep things locked down to a small group? Do any of the other venues lend well to this? Kind of like what I imagine eating dinner with the same people every night would be like and trying to keep things to small groups as much as possible. Maybe its a bit like dating I suppose. You find you people and you keep it tight.

Soo apparently demand i ssooo low that the boobs cruise may not sail! they need a minimum of 25 to sail and only 10 including us have sailed 6/26. Hope you all sign up! Also I saw many post and I think the wife confirmed that 6/10 is the new opening... Apparently everything will be still happening as far as theme nights etc. Hope you early June folks can reschedule to later in June =-)

We are hoping for a quick end of june /july trip but canada is still in a wait and see pattern with very few airlines flying at least that I can see, mainly air canada and westjet.
Not sure how people will keep away from each other at ttr , or stick to the 6ft rule...

My guess is nobody will, and I'll be ok with that when we get there in Sept.

Ok so we are having the check on the airlines constantly now. They all are canceling on us. Thank god she is a miles maven and persistent as fuck. on the upside she shamed them into first class tickets and we now arrive earlier in the day so yay. So if your reading this I would be checking my airlines. Ours was talking one thing to us online and another on the phone. Everything seems very fluid..

The wife clued me on in all the machinations as far as air fair goes. The reason we are flying from one of the west most points to the east most points of this country to get to Cancun is that the AA flight out of Miami never cancels. There are 2 and the one that arrives in Cancun at 11am so far hasn't been cancelled. And she said if we are cannot get into Cancun for some reason might as well be in Miami I guess. Apparently the AA flight out of DFW is cancelled every other day or so?

We just changed from 6/13 - 6/20 to 7/4 - 7/11.
Southwest canceled our nice direct flights from BWI.
This just give Robin more time to recuperate before we part in July.

Folks,

This article just published:


The relevant part is:

Cancun
Mexico's tourist capital of Quintana Roo has the most ambitious reopening plans. At one point, Quintana Roo Governor Carlos Joaquin Gonzalez deemed tourism as an essential business for the region. It's a plausible case as this region is home to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, the Riviera Maya, and picturesque Mayan ruins.

However, as late as May 19th, Governor Gonzalez said the best action to take right now is staying home. The initial June 1 reopening of hotels is too soon. What hotels are open are only for essential workers and other pandemic or emergency-related situations.

Hotels in this area are currently accepting reservations for July 1, 2020, and after. If the travel ban to Mexico doesn't extend further, Quintana Roo might be the first place you try visiting.

The official Quintana Roo tourism website still lists various "ferias" in July.

Not sure how accurate this thing is... Anyone have any news? We haven't heard anything from the hotels or airline. I did heard that the president (obrador?) of mexico is Driving to Cancun (apparently he sold the presidential jet). He is from the area apparently and the hope is he is announcing an opening or something?

Ok seems like the Mexican President did his thing and made a speech about reopening Cancun.... Something about no buffets anymore... oh well. Room service only then?
