Are you curious about visiting a clothing-optional resort but unsure what to expect?

If you’re considering booking a stay at Temptation Cancun Resort, here’s everything you need to know before you book!
What is Temptation Cancun Resort? A Topless Optional Adults Only Vacation
Temptation Cancun Resort is a topless-optional, all-inclusive, adults-only resort designed for guests 21+. Known as a “playground for grown-ups,” the resort features bold, modern designs by world-renowned designer Karim Rashid, a lively party atmosphere, and an inclusive, judgment-free environment where you can be yourself. It’s located right in the heart of the Cancun hotel zone (about 30 minutes from the airport) with beachfront access.
What to Expect at Temptation Cancun: A Topless-Optional Resort
1. Going Topless at Temptation Cancun is Completely Optional
If you’re nervous about the clothing-optional aspect—don’t be! At Temptation, guests can choose to go topless or stay covered, and no one will judge them. You’ll see a mix of styles, from bikinis and one-pieces to women confidently bearing it all.
2. You Will See (a Lot of) Boobs at Temptation Cancun
Let’s be honest—this is a topless-optional resort. Expect to see plenty of bare chests, especially by the pool. Within my first 20 minutes at Temptation Cancun Resort, I looked across the pool and saw a woman vigorously applying sunscreen to her very ample breasts. It’s all part of the experience; you likely won’t notice anymore after the first day.
3. Temptation Cancun is NOT a Swingers Resort, But…
There’s often confusion about whether Temptation Cancun is a swingers’ resort—it’s not. While you may meet guests in the lifestyle, the resort is not specifically for swingers. Although it’s sexy themed, it’s also not a sex resort. It’s a judgment-free zone where people go to let loose, have fun, and enjoy their vacation on their terms. Think: spring break but for adults!
With that being said, if hooking up with a couple — or other singles — is on your sexual bucket list, booking a stay at Temptation is a good place to start. Even if you’re not looking to “play,” you’ll probably get hit on — or at the very least checked out – by a couple. Everyone is really respectful though, so if you’re not into it, it’s totally OK to politely decline.
4. Everyone is at Temptation to have a good time, on their own terms.
Some people just want to go topless and love the laid-back, friendly vibe. Other guests are there to spice up their relationship and/or test boundaries (even if they’re not actively trying to hook up with anyone, there’s the possibility that it may happen, and sometimes that’s enough.) And of course, there are also people (like me) who just want to chill by the pool and eat as much guacamole as possible, with zero judgment. However you cut it, if you have a freak flag, this is the perfect place to let it flap freely in the wind.
5. There’s a Culture of Consent at Clothing-Optional Resorts
There is a strict “no means no” policy that’s built into the Temptation Cancun resort guidelines that every guest has to sign off on upon check-in. People will ask you before they touch you — even if it’s just a hug.
6. The Crowd is Older.
If you think you’ll be surrounded by 20-somethings, think again. For the most part, the crowd is 30+ The price point is a bit higher than a regular resort, so Temptation Cancun tends to attract a more mature and established crowd. While I met a lot of people in their 30s and early 40s, there are also lots of guests in their 50s, 60s and 70s!
7. There’s a Body-Positive, Confidence-Boosting Atmosphere
Temptation is one of the most body-positive resorts I’ve ever visited. All shapes, sizes, and ages are welcome. If you’ve ever felt self-conscious in a swimsuit, this is the perfect place to embrace your body and feel empowered.
8. Experience the Boobs Cruise – the Ultimate Party Boat
For an unforgettable adventure, sign up for the Boobs Cruise, a wild, adults-only boat party. Hosted by the team behind CancunCare, this all-day excursion includes unlimited drinks, high-energy entertainment, and stops at Isla Mujeres for beach fun. Expect playful games, dancing, and a lively, anything-goes atmosphere. The Boobs Cruise isn’t organized by the resort or included in the all-inclusive experience so you’ll need to sign up for it separately. However, it’s a must-do if you want to take your Temptation experience to the next level!
The Vibe: Daytime & Nighttime Fun at Temptation Cancun Resort
9. Two Distinct Pools with Different Vibes
- The Sexy Pool: The party hub with music, contests, and high-energy entertainment. Think foam parties, live DJs, and fun challenges.
- The Quiet Pool: A peaceful escape where you can sunbathe, relax, and sip cocktails in tranquility. I loved spending my mornings here just relaxing with a book before the craziness of the afternoon took hold.
10. Non-Stop Entertainment & Themed Parties
Temptation Cancun is famous for its nightly-themed parties, encouraging creative costumes and playful interactions. Some popular themes include:
- Lingerie Night
- White Party
- Glow Night
- Superheroes & Villains
Dining & Drinks: Is the Food at Temptation Cancun Good?
11. Seven Restaurants to Choose From
Temptation Cancun has seven different restaurants, offering a variety of cuisines, from Mexican and Italian to seafood and international buffets – and yes, the food is actually quite good. Some highlights include:
- Sea Flirt: Great for fresh seafood and breakfast. I love the breakfast enchiladas.
- Rain (buffet): Breakfast is probably my favorite meal and the buffet doesn’t disappoint. I enjoyed the mix of American and Mexican dishes, the selection of fresh fruit and daily green juices.
- Romanza: High-end Italian cuisine (I loved their risotto and wine selection)
- Sutra: a buzzy, Asian-fusion restaurant. Reserve ahead of time if you want a seat at the habachi table (it’s worth it!)
- Amores: Mexican-American fusion (don’t miss the endless tacos, ceviche and guacamole!).
- SHE: a couples only, erotic-themed fine dining experience that features live, sensual entertainment (translation: there’s a stage with a pole in the middle of the dining area). It’s included in the all inclusive experience so if you’re a couple, it’s worth reserving this restaurant so you can experience it at least once.
12. All-Inclusive, But Bring Cash for Tips
Tipping is included, but the staff provides fantastic service, so you’ll want to show appreciation—budget around USD 20 per day for tips.
Essential Tips for Your Stay at Temptation Cancun
13. Pack Light, But Don’t Forget These Items:
- Sunscreen: Sunburnt nipples are not fun.
- Costumes: For themed parties.
- Earplugs: The nightclub music can go on until 2 AM.
14. What You’ll Find (and Won’t Find) in the Gift Shop
The gift shop at Temptation Resort sells sex toys, lingerie, costumes, condoms, lubricants, Cialis, and Viagra, but you might be out of luck if you’re looking for gum or bobby pins. I learned this the hard way (pun not intended). For what it’s worth, the sexy items are heavily marked up. It’s best to bring your stuff from home.
Luckily, there’s a drugstore across the street where you can stock up on essentials—including deeply discounted over-the-counter skincare products like Retin-A and Kitocell, all without a prescription.
15. Be Prepared for Some Unforgettable Moments at This Topless Optional Resort
Let’s say—you’ll see and hear things you can’t unsee. But that’s part of the fun! From poolside contests to spontaneous dance parties, you never know what’s coming next.
While on the way to dinner, we saw a group of people partying completely nude on their balcony. While sexual activity is prohibited in public spaces, you will see things. Some notable sightings: A very large man in a very tiny man-thong. The beginnings of what looked like a foursome popping off in the pool. An underwater blow-job/hand-job. More men in thongs. To quote my friend Laura, “My eyes will never be the same.”
16. Expect to Make Lifelong Friends at Temptation Cancun Resort
One of the best things about Temptation is the people you meet. Guests often return year after year because of the friendships (and memories) they make. As the bikini tops come off, so do inhibitions (the cocktails also don’t hurt!) If you want to, you can quickly meet new people every day just by hanging out in the sexy pool, where all the action takes place during the day.
17. You’ll Leave Wanting to Return.
Maybe it was the amazing people I met, the daily breakfast enchiladas I consumed or the sheer ridiculousness of it all (where else can you find a poolside “orgasm faking contest” or dance half-naked to Billy Ocean’s Carribean Queen while enjoying the best the swim-up bar has to offer?) but in just a few short days, Temptation managed to turn me from a skeptic into a believer.
Final Verdict: Is Temptation Cancun Resort Worth It?
If you’re looking for a fun, sexy, clothing-optional resort experience with great food, an energetic atmosphere, and a welcoming community, Temptation Cancun Resort is worth visiting. Whether you want to party at the Sexy Pool, relax at the Quiet Pool, or enjoy a topless-optional getaway, this is the place to let loose and be yourself. It’s also a terrific entry-level starting point if you’re curious about clothing-optional or swingers resorts but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge.
Would I go back? Absolutely—I already have five times! I love the freedom and feeling of body acceptance that come with the environment. You will see every different kind of body imaginable, which made me feel more confident in my skin.
And if you’re looking to take the experience to the next level, the Temptation Cruise is an unforgettable adventure at sea. It’s a topless-optional, all-inclusive cruise designed for party lovers. The cruise features themed parties, play areas, and sexy entertainment while visiting some of the best tropical destinations. I went in 2020 and we cruised from Tampa, Florida to Mexico and the Cayman Islands.
