We do know that had we bought in we could have booked last week.
Sounds like they really needed
YOU to buy in.
As I understand it (key point here), I still really don't get who this this concept would be appealing to at all. Let's go to a resort that is all about socializing with a large group of people so that we can then tuck ourselves away in isolation from the commoners. For LOTS of $$$. The resorts themselves are essentially worthless without the people, how many would go to Desire if you took the social aspect away? Part of the attraction is the nudity "great equalizer", you could be talking to a CEO or a construction worker, doesn't really matter. Awesome.
If I were going to do this mansion thing, for that kind of money, I think I'd instead rent a yacht for a week with a select few like minded couples. That's how you high roll.
Imagine paying all that money to be in the mansion with the exclusives only to find out you aren't really that exclusive and not a match with whoever else happens to be there. Great, welcome to your own private island.
What am I missing here? If any are actually interested in this, what are the specific things that you find attractive about it?
