Jul 29 - Aug 2, 2021 Our Experience

Postby eddieandjojo » Tue Aug 03, 2021 10:42 am

Been a while since we've written a trip report and while it's still fresh on our minds, we thought we'd share our experience.

Flight & Check In Process
We took a morning flight on American out of Miami, we were dreading the 95 mile drive and potential traffic but thankfully it was the smoothest experience we've had in a while....loved the 74 minute flight to Cancun...landed at 9:45 and literally in the pool at 11 am. Did the online forms, both immigration and health, very easy and smooth as our past immigration experiences. Check in at the resort was fast and easy, politely declined the membership "updates" and on our way.

Room
Had a second floor room in the hot tub building with a great ocean view. Aside from a tiny vanity in the bathroom and it being a very small room, we loved the convenience to the pool, hot tub and restaurants. Will likely seek our usual room and not request this building again.

Facilities
Everything was very well kept and maintenance worked tirelessly to keep the grounds looking spotless. At some point a "refresh" is in order but certainly not an issue for us. We visited CC's new bar, great breeze and of course wonderful hostess! Used the gym a couple times and it was adequate as usual, didn't use the spa this time around so no comment there. Sahlo and Suki were great as usual, food was on point and the service wavered from great to okay but again, not an issue for us. AC in Suki was an issue one night but we wrapped up our meal and had an after dinner drink at Sahlo so we could cool off.

Everything Else
So, you've heard/read it a million times, Desire is all about the people.....old friends, new friends and of course your significant other. We have been fortunate to meet some amazing friends since our first trip in 2006, very genuine, caring, loving people that really make the experience wonderful. Add to that meeting new friends this trip and wow, what can we say other than it was one of our best trips in a while. The dance floor was packed every night, very sexy people just having a great time enjoying the sexy vibe Desire is known for and it did not disappoint Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Did the usual hot tub migration after dancing, all I can say is that many people were enjoying the hot tub and beds....rock on! I am fortunate to have an amazing wife, she looked amazing from morning to night, she looks forward to our trips just about as much as I do. Great to be in such a connected relationship with my best friend!!!

Now the minor issues we encountered - bartenders were short staffed at the pool and hot tub areas at times. Wait staff has seen some turnover and some were not as great as others we'd had over the years. Again, minor issues, only mention it so that the resort can address them and bring back the level of service as we know it to be.

We are truly Desire junkies! This was our second trip this year (did NYE at Pearl) and our countdown to our next trip is only 68 days away....another 7 days at Pearl, can't wait to start packing again.

Great recap and similar to our trip a few weeks ago. It's all about the people and we've not met anyone finer that at Desire over the years. Glad you had a blast!
