Trip report Desire RM August 31, 2016 to September 5, 2016
Since I had been checking this site virtually daily for fresh trip reports prior to our trip I’ll return the favor and get ours out as we just returned yesterday. Thank you to all the previous report writers, it does help to build the excitement prior to the trip! Instead of providing a specific report of travel, food, pool time, entertainment, etc. I’ll just ramble on from memory.
A little about us, a mid 50 and mid 40 couple from the Midwest, returning for a quick trip before school starts with the kids. We have been to Pearl once, and RM twice, but the second time was cut short by a family emergency after one day, so really just our second real visit to RM. For us, we prefer RM over Pearl for various reasons many of which are already covered in detail with a search, however, we acknowledge our one trip to Pearl may not have been a fair assessment. We are not really lifestylers, with the exception of exhib/voyeur stuff and girl/girl fun in the right circumstances, but do enjoy the nudity and the sexy environment.
A word to those of you newbies who are nervous about the sexual environment, nudity, possibly aggressive swingers, or any reasons….stop. More than any other trip we realized that a couple can truly make this vacation whatever they want it to be. If you are concerned about body image, don’t be as you will see all body types and all are very accepted. If you are concerned about seeing sexual activity just avoid the Jacuzzi and sin room in the disco, if you want time to yourselves go out and enjoy the beach during the day. If you have an open mind and are not sure where you are at, you might surprise yourselves by at least observing the Jacuzzi and sin room and see how you feel. There is no pressure to do or say anything…
In the days approaching we were very concerned about the weather due to the buildup in the Gulf of Mexico and even though it was moving north the forecast was for rain on at least two days. We have had a stressful past few months and really needed this trip though, and knew we would have fun regardless of the weather or circumstances so decided not to reschedule. After all the worry about the weather we did not receive a single drop of rain until the morning we were checking out and it was absolutely beautiful every day. The food was consistently good throughout, the only meal we avoid is the dinner at the buffet. Although we enjoy a good breakfast buffet, dinner buffets just don’t work for us no matter how good they are. We spent most of our day time at the pool, even though we promised ourselves to use the beach and beach beds more often, it was just so hot that we stayed in the pool. We also made much more of an effort to make friends and introduce ourselves, particularly in the pool during the day and it really enhanced the trip. We found that even if there was a group talking that they typically weren’t there together and we were always welcomed in to the conversation. There are some that have an agenda but it doesn’t take long to figure it out and just move on if they don’t let it go. Although we had one couple that was somewhat persistent, it was never rude or uncomfortable and we enjoyed talking to them.
We did look forward to the afternoon Jacuzzi time each day, not really with an agenda to play with anyone or even each other necessarily, but after a really hot day in the pool the shaded bar upstairs, refreshing breeze, view of the ocean, and people watching were all great. I think we went up there each afternoon. There is usually something going on up there you just don’t see at home, or if so you have to pay for. One night was the school teacher passing out blow jobs in the jacuzzi, and another night was a very hot three girl scene that even though was just heavy kissing and petting, was still very good. We never ventured to the Jacuzzi late night after the disco as we would either play in the sin room, or just go back to our room. I was surprised that one couple mentioned that they would leave and go to a beach bed each night and were never bothered by security at all.
Even though the evening schedules don’t change much, we do enjoy the outdoor time in the Melange lounge, checking out people and costumes, as well as the disco. I know there have been some complaints about mixing up the music in the disco or the evening entertainment, but short of having some other great ideas for it, I think the answer is for a couple to take a night off from it and do something else. After one particularly overserved afternoon of margarita’s for my wife we stayed in and just ordered room service and found that the next time it was fresh and we were ready for fun again.
We did spend the last day in the ocean visiting with another couple, and had planned to meet up in the disco later since it was our last night, but our wake up call for 3am was just too tough to ignore. Apologies to S and R from PA and Virginia for not saying good bye, if you read this and want to PM your email address we would love to stay in touch.
Thanks, and if you have any questions fire away…
