Agreed, there will always be some turnover but it's nice to see some continuity as well. Good to see familiar faces and good to be remembered.

One thing that does seem notable is the increase in turnover since Sergio became involved with entertainment teams at RM and Pearl. Not sure if that is just a coincidence or something more.

If they generally left after 6 months they would never become "beloved hosts" by repeat guests as most don't go to Desire that often in order to establish those relationships. One of the things people seem to like the most, ourselves included, was seeing them after not being at Desire for a while and having them clearly remember you, say hi, etc... (which is amazing given the number of people they interact with). This has been a pretty common phenomenon so I'm not sure exactly what special circumstances means in this context.

Well, we’ve been going to Desire for over 10 years and 20+ trips. We have got to know countless EC staff. Some renew their contracts when they’re up, others move on. Some are so popular, the resort offers additional incentives to stay, while with others they don’t. Some leave to go back home, some quit, some get terminated. The list goes on.
Most are single looking for adventure. They travel the world, try new things and move on.

Makes sense, sounds pretty much like how it works in most places of employment. Always some turnover, some stay, some leave on their own, some don't make the cut and get let go, younger ones change jobs fairly frequently etc...

I don't know Sergio, but yes, there has been an unusual amount of "turnover" in the past 6 months. DeeDee, Anna, Achmed, Kevin (Kiwi), Marrianna
Some of these people are not so easily "replaced" with the same caliber of person.

JMHO

They have a pretty good group right now, we just got back July 6 -13th Refugee's in Paradise. Tony who is new and "Fabulous" seems like he'll fit right in, he is the first EC from the US I've seen there. Kevin was awesome. Annie another somewhat new EC was a bit shy and was working on her English vocabulary, but can she dance! Yunni was the one who impressed me the most, very fun, good at volleyball and did an awesome pole dance routine one evening. There were a couple others but can't remember the names.

We remember Yuni from a trip to Pearl 2 years ago. She was our favorite EC there. Glad she is a RM now as we arrive in 21 days. She has the sweetest personality, is a great dancer and IMHO has the most beautiful head of hair I've ever seen. I'm guessing there isn't much anywhere else so not quite sure why I put the word head in there. LOLAM
:US

Agreed, Kevin had just started when we were there in June and he seems like a natural. Yuni had taken on more leadership roles, perhaps in preparation for Anna's departure?

We just got back last week.
Yuni and Kevin were the only ones still there from our October trip. Anni is from Columbia and is Kevin's step sister. She spent 7 years in India and hosts morning yoga classes on the beach gazebo. Tony is relatively new but is very engaging. We met a couple who had met DD and Marianna for dinner in Cancun the night before. They are unemployed at the time. The current staff does their best but we still missed those two. It will be interesting to see who's there in October when we return.

We also just returned.
Kevin and Yuni (Juni) are carrying the new, inexperienced crew.
Marissa (aka "B") is still new as can be.
Roy is very outgoing and will fit in just fine.

Very different vibe without Anna, Didi, and Marianna. Maybe not to new Desire guests or to those that just go once/year or so, but very much so for us. (6 trips in 9 months) We know these folks better than some of our next-door neighbors. When we complete the survey at checkout, we try to inform management that these people are what make a Desire trip so remarkable and memorable. If they cannot keep high caliber entertainment crew, there will be less first time guests who have an experience that motivates them to return over and over again.

Agreed, we are frequent visitors as well and the vibe will not be the same without DiDi and Anna. Yuni was leading a lot more on our last visit, even with Anna there. Still, the only constant is change.

DD is not there anymore. She now works on the Sexy Party boat out of Cancun.
