"Caliente Caribe" has always been a private all inclusive nude resort- (very lush and tropical) and I have heard from a company source that they have researched Desire to a great deal and are eager for the "lifestyle" share of all inclusive nude travelers. Already they have made moves with "lifestyle weeks" more often this year than ever before and have built their first beach bed.(This is a private resort so sex on the beach is more than implied- its encouraged, especially during lifestyle weeks. ) I am not sure what they will do about singles - they probably aren't either, but I encourage competition.
In full disclosure we have been to both resorts Desire and Caribe - and will continue to go to Desire over Caribe until/unless Caribe becomes more like Desire. Just thought you all should know what is happening.
It's good to know that other resorts are at least willing to compete with Desire. My concern would be that others places will be tempted by the added income of single men on a day pass. A non-couples atmosphere is a non-starter with us and that is what makes Desire so special.
Another resort can compete with Desire on many levels (food, amenities, beach, entertainment) but these things were only marginally the focus for us. Desire's atmosphere is why we keep going back. Other resorts won't be able to compete with Desire if they have a sleazy vibe.
