Trip Report Sept. 20 - 27, 2011
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 7:37 pmThis was our third trip to Desire and the best so far!
We booked a gardenview room and decided to upgrade to oceanview once we got there. We were in room 2203, on the first floor. The room was large with a spacious vanity and shower large enough for 2 or maybe even 3. A welcome change was the large drawers, getting organized was so much easier this year. The room also had a dehumidifier that kept the room comfortable. The cleanliness was as always top notch with no complaints. They did a great job even after we spilled candle wax everywhere....oopps
We celebrated our anniversary and were sent cake and champagne to our room, which was a pleasant surprise. They made sure we had everything we needed and more.
The resort during our stay was very very quiet, I don't know what the occupancy rate was but the first afternoon we went up to the jacuzzi around 5:30 and there was no one there except the staff. It picked up a little over the weekend but was still quieter than our previous 2 trips. That being said there were no negatives with the service or variety of food. What keeps bringing us back is the way we are treated by the staff, there isn't much that you ask for that you can't get. They are always ready with a smile to try to make your trip the best ever.
They did take the opportunity to do some work on the jacuzzi during this quiet period. I was closed on our last night. They did convert the a section of the pool area into a play area with the jacuzzi beds. The area was curtained off, they had an artist come in and paint beautiful murals on the curtains. They really did a good job in creating a new sexxy play area.
The only things we found needed a bit of work was adding some fans in the lobby lounge area. The heat and humidity during our week was close to unbearable on some nights. We are not ones to usually complain about the heat but it was really toooo hot. We also found the air conditioning in the disco was not cool enough.
We will be back to visit as soon as we can fit it into our schedules.
