Temptation Cancun Resort

A big adults-only party resort in Cancún for guests 21 and over. It is topless-optional; full nudity is not allowed, and the resort itself points guests who want that to its sister brand, Desire.

Temptation suits groups and couples who want a high-energy, adults-only all-inclusive with pool parties and a flirtatious edge. It is the wrong booking for anyone expecting a nude or clothing-optional resort, which is the most common complaint in reviews.

The clothing rule

Temptation is top-optional: “wearing a bikini top is up to you.” Tops can come off at the Sexy Pool, the Quiet Pool, the outdoor jacuzzi and the beach. There are no nude areas. Asked whether guests can go naked, the resort answers “Nope!” and directs them to Desire.

Who can stay

Guests 21 and over. The resort calls itself “the playground for grown-ups.” Its site does not set out a singles policy.

What it is like

Two concept pools, the lively Sexy Pool and the calmer Quiet Pool, set the tone, along with a Caribbean beach. Tripadvisor lists 428 rooms, which makes it several times the size of either Desire resort and explains the party atmosphere. The brand also runs Temptation cruises.

Where it is

Cancún. The resort’s site gives no street address; booking sites place it in the Hotel Zone.

Costs

Tripadvisor showed all-inclusive rates of $314–667 a night for two in October 2026, the lowest of the three resorts in this brand family. Temptation shares the Stay & Play loyalty program with the Desire resorts.

What recent guests say

Tripadvisor showed 8,173 reviews averaging 4.5 in October 2026. These themes came up repeatedly:

How it compares

Choose Desire Riviera Maya or Desire Pearl if you want nudity and a lifestyle scene; both are couples only. Choose Hidden Beach for nonsexual naturism. The Desire vs Temptation comparison sets the three side by side.
