Resort comparison FAQs
What is the best lifestyle resort for first timers?
Many first timers start with Temptation Cancun when they want a party-forward, top-optional resort, or Desire when they are a couple looking specifically for an au naturel lifestyle resort. Hedonism II can work for confident first timers who want Jamaica and are comfortable with clearer nude-zone rules.
Is Desire better than Temptation?
Desire is usually the better fit for couples who want a couples-only au naturel resort. Temptation is usually the better fit for travelers who want a social, high-energy adults-only party resort with top-optional areas but not a clothing-optional property.
Is Hedonism II better than Desire?
Hedonism II is better for travelers who want Jamaica, clothing-optional and nude zones, and a mixed couples-and-singles environment. Desire is better for couples who want a couples-only Mexico resort with a more polished au naturel feel.
Do I have to be nude at a clothing-optional resort?
Not everywhere. Clothing-optional areas usually let you choose. Nude-designated zones can require nudity, and restaurants, lobbies, gyms, and other public areas often require cover-ups or regular clothing.
