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.

What the resorts are running right now.
These are the resorts' own offers, in their own words. Enter the code on their booking page. Each one comes off this page when the resort ends it, and their terms and restrictions apply.
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.

Temptation Cancun Resort
Adults only and 21 plus, not couples only, so this is the one that works for singles and friends as well as couples. Top-optional rather than clothing optional. Seven restaurants, six bars, two conceptual pools, a theme night every night and pool parties three days a week.
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, which is a different thing from a lifestyle group sailing on a regular cruise. The two brands run different rules, listed on each sailing below. Dates, cabins and fares are on their booking pages, priced live.

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no prices here because their booking engine prices your dates in real time, and a number copied onto this page would be out of date the moment a promotion changed.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.
