Desire Resort Forums

Hi! There is so much great information on this forum for those of us planning our first trip, so thanks!! One question I had that I can't find an answer to is: what is the average ratio of newbies to return guests? Obviously, this is going to vary, but I'm just wondering if it's mostly returnees with a few new people sprinkled in, or if it's closer to 50/50? Just curious.

I’d guess at least 90% returnees though weeks vary.

Yep. About 10% newbies on average.

This is an interesting question! We are newbies going for the first time next week. I wouldn't have guessed we are as rare as 10%. I suppose that speaks volumes as to the quality of the resort. And maybe we'll stand out a bit for it

Doesn’t matter everyone is so friendly new or seasoned pro we have just returned from our first visit and can’t believe how friendly the resort was guests and staff alike

Could not agree more on this. We went on our first trip in August and were just so wowed at how down to earth everyone was and how naturally we felt. The people really were the best part of the trip.

As others have said it can vary by week, but I would agree it’s about 10% yellow bands.

Remember everyone had their first time!
