Just back, with a few do's and don'ts for us as guests

Postby Desirecupl » Tue May 03, 2011 9:21 pm

We're just back from our fourth visit to Desire, and thought we'd share a few do's and don'ts that extend beyond the usual helpful packing list tips and other basic items, based upon our actual experiences.

Don't slam the door to your room so hard that the entire building shakes...especially at 8 AM...and especially more than once.

Don't use the jacuzzi beds as a place to dump your stuff. There are plenty of storage cubbies near both the bar and shower. The jacuzzi beds are there for one purpose and one purpose only.

Do tip your service staff for exceptionally good service. It will almost always guarantee exceptional service throughout your stay from great people like Africa.

Don't use the playroom and jacuzzi beds as a place for loud chit chat. Pillow talk is fine, but loud conversations about all kinds of random minutiae are best reserved for other more suitable venues.

Don't wear camo at Desire. Ever.

Do dress for dinner and the disco. That's mostly aimed at the men, of course, and it doesn't mean wearing black tie, a coat or tie. It does mean wearing something other than tennis shoes to dinner or a printed tee shirt.

Do be open to meeting new people and engaging in conversation with them.

Don't stand fully clothed gawking at others in the playroom.

Do remember your neighbors may keep radically different hours than you.

Do keep an open mind. And do have fun!

I've gotta say, seen some pretty hot camo on occasion down there, starting with a tiny, damn hot skirt on my much better half....

I liked the guest that showed up the first day wearing a "Vote for Pedro" shirt. I can only imagine that his drinks were made a little special the first couple of days.

C'mon PF, I've seen some camo on you before as well.....wasn't that a Yankee's hat or something!!! Nah, I agree that camo is hot only on the hotties on occasion.

Great list of advice! This one absolutely kills our mood.

"Don't use the playroom and jacuzzi beds as a place for loud chit chat. Pillow talk is fine, but loud conversations about all kinds of random minutiae are best reserved for other more suitable venues."

We cannot count the times that we have been attempting a romantic moment on the beds at lifestyle clubs or resort when some people come walking up talking and laughing really loud. Then they will just stand around yucking it up seeing who can tell the funniest story. How flipping inconsiderate can some people be.

Sorry, off my soapbox.

I agree with all but the not wearing camo. I personally don't wear it but have seen some pretty hot camo outfits plus I don't care what anyone wants ro wear or not wear. Not my place to judge plus that persons partner may really like them in whatever you think is wrong and that's all that matters.

So much our #1 soapbox issue as well. I don't get it that they don't get it. Go out to the disco our lobby bar and yak it up. Spoils the mood for most there....
