Known for his eccentric style, unique designer Karim Rashid is the creative force behind the Temptation Resort & Spa Cancun's latest renovation project.

The resort will feature a colorful theme with an emphasis on pink and purple notes. The popular resort will feature the same kitschy yet playful details that many cruise ships tend to have. With bold colors and suggestive elements -- including a large photo of a naked woman in the swimming pool -- this adult-friendly resort will likely be a hit among young couples.

The resort will be home to eight restaurants, five bars, a deck and an outdoor pool. It will also include a uniquely lit spa with its own indoor pool. With 430 guest rooms and views of the Caribbean Sea, this resort would be an excellent honeymoon retreat for an adventurous newlywed couple.
