Seeing reports from two of the great couples we met, thought we'd make our own contribution.
Overall: This was our second trip to Desire and we were a little concerned that it would not live up to our memories of the first time. Need not have worried. Because we knew what to expect we had an even better time. They have clearly worked hard over the last year or so to improve the resort. Once again the best part of the vacation for us was the people. Not sure why but Desire attracts just the people we click with.
The Service: What can we say. Nothing is too much. We gave special credit to Africa and CC who we remembered from our last visit. Sorry , cant remember the name of the main guy at the bar right now but " Can you let me know when it's 7.20 and have a bottle of champaigne ready so I can take it up to the room for Her " was met with an enthusiastic response and delivered. Boy did I get browny points.
The Beach: We reserve a bed on the beach during the day because we need somewhere in the shade. Had great service there. Little worried that there seems to be rather less beach there than last time.
The Disco (are we showing our age calling it this). A real transformation. Great places to hang out. More bar area to prop up. Just a much nicer atmosphere. But the music. It's a mixed crowd age wise. They really need to mix the music too. Overall a little too thump thump thump for us, though I think we persuaded them to play Kid Rock's All Summer Long once. That said, we danced our asses off.
The entertainment: They've taken Eyes Wide Shut to a new level in our opinion. All live music of a high standard.
The Play / Sin room. Another transformation. Thought it a little too bright the first time we went in (would have felt differently in our twenties) but seemed more subdued lighting after that. By the way did anyone figure out how to use the swing !
Food: Again there's been an improvement. We enjoyed everything we ate. No tummy problems, and we came home without putting on a pound.
The hot tub: We love hot tubs so just a great place to hang out with great people. They seem to be keeping it cooler during the day and bumping the temperature up at night which is just right.
The Crocodile: We understand that watching the staff trying to remove a six foot crocodile from the beach is not part of the standard program, but it was a hoot. We particularly enjoyed the guy with the chicken leg on the string !
That's all for now. Let us know if there's anything you'd like to hear about.
Desire is unique in the world, we're so glad we found it.
Love to all we met.
