Thank you for this. This is one of our concerns. We run a business and can't afford to quarantine for two weeks if we are diagnosed as positive. Really gives us something to think about even though November 4 is 3 1/2 months away.

We were there the around the same time. We arrived the 10th and left the 2 days early. Love the place and people. The ocean was beautiful. Hard to be there and also be responsible though. We can't trust ourselves lol. Can't wait to go when its normal again. We Didn't linger in the nightclub very long and avoided suki ( it was packed ). Which..are two of our favorite places. Left mainly because we thought " what if we develop symptoms here? " so we cut it short. Anyways, Covid sucks.
What a year , huh?

We were there 7/1-7/6. Us and all of the four other couples that we know of all tested positive upon return.

Any symptoms? I honestly dont know how we DONT have it . Neither have symptoms. I have a mild headache on and off for a few days but attributed it to allergies. Who knows.

Did you see any guests wearing any masks at all? I understand not in the pool but did anyone wear mask at any time? Just curious.

Sorry can't sit on the side line on this one don't want to anger anyone but..... So your willing to take a personal risk? What about everyone else that have to cater to you? USA transfer, airport personnel, air flight home, home airport, taxi or friends that picked you up, kids or relatives? then the trip to the doctor's 2 to 3 days later to confirm if you had it.... but before you went to the doctors I would bet that you went grocery shopping and done other errands.... Yes you took a risk or should i say YOU help infect others unwillingly for your few days of vacation time.

But thank god your ok..... I mean screw the others right? cause it was your right to go and have fun!

We were only curious since we have not read anywhere that guests wore masks on site as we still have concerns. We are still trying to decide if we will go after changing our reservations twice and would love to go. We want to protect ourselves and others as well and still have a good time.

Well Said Stephen! We love Desire as much as anyone and will return one day when we can enjoy irresponsibility in a responsible way.

The reason we went was to see the ocean. And give money to our friends that work there that we know have to be struggling. We were negative before we went. And are negative now with no antibodies. We wore masks in the airport, on the plane, and in the private transfer. We didn't eat inside. We Didn't participate in the foam party, or nightclub or jacuzzi. I can't speak for others. You can go there and remain outside the whole time. But it's not the same obviously. It's a very hard place to stay away from people.

"So your willing to take a personal risk?"- Obviously the people that traveled are willing to take that risk as is everyone who leaves their house on a daily basis.

"What about everyone else that have to cater to you?" Obviously they are willing to take that risk or they would've opted to stay home and not work. I'll be sure to ask everyone if they would rather us and all the other tourists stay home so they would be out of jobs or if they would rather take the risk. Most people need to work to be able to pay a mortgage, rent, utilities, groceries, etc. Not everyone has the luxury of working from home.

If everyone stayed away from the Cancun until a vaccine is widely available to everyone then guess what...there likely wouldn't be a Desire to go back to. Would it be ideal if everyone could stay inside and never leave their house until a vaccine is available? Yes...but not going to happen. Businesses need income to survive.

Oh and another thing...we still go out in public on a limited basis and choose not to live our lives in complete fear. We also always wear masks and social distance as much as possible.

So I guess I look at it the complete opposite...not screw others...we are helping others stay employed and be able to provide for their families. Everyone in your scenarios is accepting risk. If you choose not to...so be it.

The self-righteousness of some people just blows my mind.

Frankly you’re an asshole. Much like many of the others here who judge people.

Here’s the deal. We went at the end of June, came back with COVID. We were responsible, wore masks in the transfer, in the airport, on the plane and OMG even had a plan beforehand to self quarantine for 14 days after our trip just in case we got it. We did get it, life goes on, and we didn’t give it to anyone. We have hefty delivery bills for food to show lol.

So what did we do to help those who catered to us? Tipped ~$600. What are you doing for them sitting in your house scared of the boogyman?

We go back Sept 4-7. We have already had it, not going to get it again. We are the safe ones, and we will support Shorty, and CC and all of our friends at DRM.

Definitely an asshole!
Yeah, some people are willing to take risks and go out there and live their lives. Others prefer to stay in and listen to the news every day and get manipulated by politicians and media and then judge the ones who don't. Divide and conquer, that's the name of the game here. I don't want to talk politics here but I will just say this - hopefully things will calm down after the elections so we can go back to the "old normal".

Wake up people, yes, the virus is out there and it's part of nature, it's part of us and sooner or later we will all get it. When this one will go away another one will pop up and then what? You choose to live your life in agony? You think if you stay home you will be healthy? You won't! You will screw up your immune system, or develop depression or other diseases or mental issues.

Sure, this is a personal choice, but stop judging others who choose to go out and live their life!
