Where the lifestyle crowd actually goes.
Desire and Temptation run adults-only, couples-first resorts on the Mexican coast and charter whole ships a few times a year. They set the rules, they take the booking, and they look after you on the ground. We point you at the right one and step out of the way.

Three resorts, and they are not interchangeable.
Two sit on the Riviera Maya and one in Cancun. They differ in how loud the room is and how far the rules go, which is the whole decision. Rates are quoted live on the resort's own booking engine, so what you see there is what you pay.
-
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Desire Riviera Maya Resort
An adults-only, couples-only resort on a quiet stretch of beach south of Playa del Carmen. All-inclusive, clothing optional, and small enough that the crowd changes character week to week.
-
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort
The quieter of the two Desire properties, and the one couples pick when they want the resort to feel like a retreat rather than a party. Same rules, smaller scale, more space between you and everyone else.
-
Cancun, Mexico
Temptation Cancun Resort
Adults only and topless-optional rather than clothing optional, with a playground pool, themed nights and a schedule that runs late. The loudest room of the three, and the one that suits a first trip.
And the same crowd at sea.
Desire and Temptation charter whole ships a few times a year. Everyone aboard is there for the same event under the same rules, which is a different thing from a lifestyle group sailing on a regular cruise. Dates, cabins and fares are on their booking pages, priced live.

2027
Desire San Juan and Southern Caribbean
Round trip from San Juan, Puerto Rico. A Southern Caribbean sailing on a fully chartered ship, which is what makes it different from a lifestyle group aboard a regular cruise. Everyone on board is there for the same reason.
-
2028
Desire Hong Kong to Singapore
Hong Kong to Singapore. The long one. Two weeks across Southeast Asia with the run of the ship, for couples who want the itinerary to carry as much weight as the programming.
-
October 2026
Temptation Caribbean Cruise
Caribbean. Temptation at sea: themed nights, a full entertainment schedule and the topless-optional rules the Cancun resort runs on. The nearest sailing, and the one that sells out first.
-
October 2027
Temptation Caribbean Cruise
Caribbean. The following year, and the one to book if 2026 is gone or you want longer to plan. Same format, same rules, a fresh route.
How booking one of these works.
- Original Group is the seller of travel. You book on their reservation system, you pay them, and your contract is with them. Travel by Trinidad is not the agent of record on these bookings and does not hold your deposit.
- They handle the trip. Reservations, billing, changes and customer service all sit with Original Group. If something needs fixing while you are there, they are who you talk to.
- We earn a commission if you book through these links, at no extra cost to you. That is the whole of our involvement, and it is why the links carry a tracking code.
- Rates are quoted live. We publish no prices here because their booking engine prices your dates in real time, and a number copied onto this page would be out of date the moment a promotion changed.
- Want a second opinion first? Ask us which resort or sailing fits before you book. That part is free and we have no reason to push you at one over another.
