Rather than repeat a lot of what niksav has posted we would like to say that we had another wonderful time for the same reasons! Food, drinks, staff still awesome! Friends, old and new, still awesome!

To add to niksav, we too felt like we should just pass GO after check in and get to our room and start vacation! "Not interested" means NOT interested!

We also agree completely about the change in sexy atmosphere at the jacuzzi lounge. 30 minutes of Foam Fun should not ruin the rooftop ambience!!!! A highlight at DRM (one of many) is the jacuzzi rooftop 'experience' and it was just not happening with the scaffolding apparatus obstructing the area. They should consider relocating the foam party to the tennis courts or the large beach palapa (which is a sadly underutilized spot on the property). We were told the beds will be fixed or replaced. The sooner the better!!!!

One big issue we believe should be addressed is the No Smoking areas that are posted. If the staff has been instructed to hand out ash trays to smokers, even when they are in the posted No Smoking areas, then why bother with the signs??? Having designated smoking areas may help redirect those who ignore the signs. A card at check-in reminding folks where they are welcome to smoke and to respect the No Smoking areas would be a friendly non-threatening message. The smoking at lunch and open air Piacere was especially distressing.... just a few but enough to be bothersome.

Overall, Desire is what we day dream about all year long! .....until we return we keep day dreaming!!!!

Thanks for mentioning our report...we also fully agree with your additional points. Smoking in the jacuzzi is not nice at all. Maybe the jacuzzi bar staff could also be a little more proactive in policing this rule.
