 DESIRE RESORT & SPA - Trip Reviews  
DESIRE TRIP REPORT by MARINA
After watching the evolution of the Desire Resort in Cancun since January 2003 we have seen this resort become the perfect venue for lifestyle travelers or those who just want a sexy getaway. We were there in May just after the opening of Desire and saw the resort get off to its rocky start but boy have they ironed things out. Our most recent trip was the week after Halloween. We almost canceled at the last minute because the forecast look so grim.
As it turned out the weather was gorgeous everyday except for the day we were departing. Nothing like a little monsoon to set the mood for some afternoon delight before heading home. The resort atmosphere is very erotic regardless of the weather. We get excited just reminiscing about our time there and can't wait for our next visit.
Now for some specifics... Getting to Desire is amazingly easy and quick. Our shuttle was waiting for us at the airport and in just about 15 minutes we were at the front desk. Our room was a garden view but with a glimpse of the beach. One thing that is really nice is the closeness to the beach of even the garden view rooms. The rooms had a very clean style to them but ours did not have a set of drawers which kept us living out of our suitcases. Wasn't much of an issue for us but if it is important to you I would suggest you make a request for a room with drawers. They seemed to want to be accommodating as possible. We were quite pleased with our room although we weren't there that often.
We were usually torn between hanging out by the pool or on at the beach. Fortunately the pool was right off the beach so you kind of had the benefit of both. We though the beach was outstanding but there was some seaweed on this visit. One of those things that you really can't predict since we heard from some people that the day after we left the water and beach were seaweed free. We thought there was going to be a nude section of the beach but during our visit the entire beach seemed to be clothing optional which is the way we prefer it. For that matter I think the only place nudity was restricted was in the restaurants and the lobby. The pool area was set up nicely and we particularly enjoyed monopolizing the poolside palapa. The pool area was quite busy while we were there and it had a nice atmosphere... although on a few occasions some couples may have provided a little too much entertainment. At least is provided something for everyone to talk about.
The restaurants seemed to get mixed reviews. I thought the main dining area which was buffet style was adequate. We have had better and worse but since we were on a liquid diet we didn't over indulge. Now, when it came to the other restaurant, the Piacere, that was a different story. We weren't expecting such a fine dining experience but since we enjoyed it so much we managed to work in another evening thanks to our host before we left. I was all prepared to order fish but ended up going with the duck one night and the lamp chops the other. Not sure which was better but both were outstanding. I did get to sample the shrimp, fish and steak and found them all very good. The atmosphere was very nice and stylish. If I had one complaint about either restaurant it was that both were a bit on the warm side.
Perhaps our favorite part of the resort was the rooftop hot tub and deck area. The design was outstanding. Just wish we could have closed it off and had our own little party up there with our close friends. Instead, it was a bit overwhelming since the rules seem to be anything goes. Sometimes you can design something too good and obviously many couples couldn't resist the temptation of playing in this erotic playground. We found the mornings very enjoyable when we pretty much had the rooftop to ourselves.
The disco was outstanding for this size resort with a really cool adjoining playroom. The only complaint we had was with the air conditioning. If they could just add another fan and drop the temperature about five degrees it would have been perfect.
I am sure I left a lot out but we think this is the ideal couples / lifestyle resort. It is a fantastic bargain compared to some of the alternative resorts and I believe it is more our style than some of the bigger resorts... not that Desire is small. Actually with 110 rooms it is the perfect size.
We hope to make this a twice a year vacation and believe the resort is well on its way to making a name for itself.
