After many, many trips to Desire, I'd be happy to share my opinion. Remember, it's only my opinion. I have been in the Desire Suites. While they are very nice, I don't think they are worth $2K + per night. I also find them to be a bit isolationist, which is the exact opposite of why we go there. We want to have fun, meet and mingle with as many sexy people as we can. The Desire Suites are 4 suites in one building. They were built about 4 years ago, if memory serves. The resort knocked down our very favorite villa/rooms to build it. We used to love staying in 1601 or 1602, which were the Jacuzzi Ocean View rooms that opened directly on to Cici's beach bar. Anyone could access the beach/beach bar from anywhere on the resort. Since the Desire Suites were built, you have to walk a long way out of the way to get to the Beach Bar no matter which way you are coming from. The design of the Desire Suite building is so incongruous with the rest of the property, that it bugs me a bit. It's like they built a skyscraper in a village. The rooms are nice, but we're not interested in 2 level living while we're at Desire. That has to do with both alcohol intake and the crazy shoes I wear the entire time I'm there. The shared pool/jacuzzi in the front of the suites, facing the ocean are nice, but again negate the experience we go to Desire for. The mixing and mingling.
Our favorite rooms are still the Ocean View or Garden View Jacuzzi Suites (especially for the dramatic price difference). We also are big fans of the Passion Suites closest to the pool. We'll make an exception for 2nd floor in that building because the shared large patio has THE best view during the day and at night. Both the Desire Suites and the Passion Suites come with butler service (hmm, maybe the OV & GV Jacuzzi suites do too?), but the service at Desire is so incredible, it doesn't matter what room you stay in. They just can't do enough for you.
A nice perk of staying at the Desire Suite/Passion Suite is the reserved Beach Palapa and Pool Beds.
Hope that helped!!
