Anyone NOT excited about going?

Postby FlirtAndPlay » Mon Aug 19, 2019 4:55 pm

We've been to Desire RM three times and have loved it. So this year we decided to book Pearl for November. Unfortunately, the more we hear about Pearl, the less exited we are to go. We are now just thinking, "Meh" and are hardly looking forward to it :shock:

Would love to hear from some people that have been to both that may prefer Pearl (and why).

We have been to both.

Rooms are nicer at Pearl. Hot tub is much larger which has both pros and cons in our opinion. Haven’t been back since restaurants have been redone. Also like the fact we can walk into town along the beach.

As for how “active” the resort will be, all depends on who else is there. We have seen both wild and quiet weeks at both.

Personal opinion is you can’t lose at either.

Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Based on your dates, you will be there during podcaster week. If you are looking for a wild party you won’t be disappointed. We try to avoid that week as it is a bit over the top for our tastes.

We went to Pearl first and that was 2013.

Arrived and there was a group of senior nudists there who were in bed by 9 every night. Kinda had the place to ourselves with just us and the bartender at the hot tub until 3 every morning. Had sex in the hot tub beds which was awesome and a first time kinda fantasy for us. That group left and a really fun bunch arrived for the weekend. There wasn’t more than 50 or 60 of us but we had a good time.

Got invited into a hot tub orgy with a bunch of sexy folks but didn’t accept and just sat back and watched the live porn.

Very cool experience for us. Had lots of laughs with that group. Rooms are awesome and staff is so great. Wish Pearl had an omelette station.

They so spoil our lady and actually call her princess. We never imagined being treated so well, having such luxury and being so free. Pearl was our resort for coming of age and escaping the confines of Vanilla. Now life includes Vanilla but also so much more.

We tend to stay in a room by the hot tub with no stairs or very few required to be a grade. Mostly naked between the pool, our rooms and the hot tub.

RM is fun and we love love love the lobby bar and crazyiness of the roof top hot tub but we always save our last nights for Pearl wherever we stay first and often split our trips at 2 resorts. At we try to stay in room 1301 for it being so central. Naked and warm with convenience to all is how we like to holiday.

We barely dance at Pearl but often dance all night for 11 nights at Temptation. Dance only a bit a RM in the open air lobby bar. Love the RM lobby bar tacos or pizza after the hot tub shenanigans. Have never gone up to the lobby at Pearl after the hot tub fun. Never ! It’s outta the way and not central to our naked path.

Not big fans of the inside discos at either resort and don’t use the playrooms either. When we can be outdoors and naked it seems a shame to stay inside.

We can’t call either the best and we aren’t saying somewhere else is better either. They are both great and for different reasons. Likely our priorities are different from yours but if you have a good time together wherever you go you’ll have a blast a Pearl.

Wish we were going back sooner so cheer up and get your game face on - you’re going to paradise.

We have a detailed trip report on here comparing RM to DP. We have been to RM twice and DP 13 times. During our stays, we found the DP crowd to be older and more subdued than the RM crowd. You can read about all the physical differences on here (hot tub size, old vs new, dining, disco, lobby, etc.). The people are great at both resorts, just more mature at DP—during our stays. :US

We're leaving 2 days before you get there so there's no way it can be as fun....lol
seriously it really depends on who there that week at either resort. Our first time to Pearl was so bad we vowed to never go back. It was like a cemetery if you didn't already know someone.
We've been back twice since and found it to be maybe 5-10% less activity than RM...so we had a good time.
This will be our 4th time to Pearl so it must be good.

Kind of a sad thread. :( Buzz killer.

We have only been once.... loved pearl and had an amazing time, met great people and are super stoked to get to go back again this year (oct is coming fast). We will tip the scales on the "super excited" side....and should make up for at least 2 not very excited votes.
Going to another vanilla resort with no sexy naked people.... and people so rude they cant even say HI when you walk by them on a path....that kind of place does not excite us at all. Been to dozens and always amazed at how unfriendly/keep to themselves most couples are. We have never been anywhere that is as friendly or relaxed or as fun as pearl so .... if you truly are not super excited.... maybe cancel and find something that floats your boat. Lifes short, need to make vacations count.

My wife and I have been to Pearl twice now and loved it to the point of getting teary when we had to leave. The first time we went was in July (as it was around our anniversary) and the second time was this past December.
There were certainly a lot more people in December then there were in July. The hot tub in the afternoon early evening (after all of the activities) in July had a handful of couples whereas December, you were pretty much shoulder to shoulder with people. My wife and I are in the lifestyle but were 28-29 when we went our first time so it was hard to connect with people outside of the playmakers. So pretty much every day was based on the activities that the playmakers set up. We would wake up and grab some breakfast just in time for cornhole and volleyball, while nursing a few drinks, then usually participate in whatever activity was going on near the pool. When there was a break from activities, we would take a break. Usually we would go back to our room for a few minutes to cool off and then grab some lunch before getting back to it. After the activities were done for the afternoon we would spend some time at the hot tub. Either getting freaky or just talking with some of the couples. During our December stay, we were asked on three separate occasions why we were at Pearl instead of RM. Apparently the crowd at RM is younger and the bar/club scene is more intense. We may spend a night or two at RM during our next trip just to see what it's about but we have come to love Pearl.

In our experience, Pearl has yet to disappoint. I am sure the looming construction projects may have an affect on someones visit, but the atmosphere is fantastic. The shows they put on are great and the staff is amazing (the playmakers in particular.) That was actually the only thing we were worried about when we came back the second time was whether or not it would be the same without the same crew.
When first we went there was Mia(Adrianita), Kia, Vince (Javier), Mike (Juan), and of course Charlie (Carlos.) When reviewing the forum in the months/weeks leading up to our return we saw that our favorite (Mia) wasn't there anymore. That she had moved to RM to DJ or something. So we were kind of bummed. But when we got there, we saw a few familiar faces (Charlie, Kia and Vince) as well as some new people (Roberto, Shirley, Candice, and Panther.) There were certainly different personalities, but we enjoyed ourselves just as much. So despite our concerns of staff changing and us not knowing anyone when we return, it is apparent that whatever staff is present has the ability to make your stay fun and exciting.

We've been to both resorts multiple times. Each trip is different, and all of them have been awesome. The dynamic changes with the crowd. The last couple of visits to Pearl have been in November which had an active fun crowd and almost full occupancy. Some of the guest we've met prefer Pearl over RM. One young couple liked Pearl so much they cancelled their RM visit to return to Pearl. There is a waiting list during that week (if your November 18 arrival is accurate) so it won't be a lonely place. We will be there when you arrive (if you keep your reservation) so be sure and say Hi!

we've been to both and prefer the Pearl by miles. I guess you could have the same fun at both, but we liked the layout at the Pearl seemed less crowded at the pool and Hot tub. We also felt the rooms and service overall was better.

We are heading to Pearl for the first time at the end of November and could not be more excited. Without a doubt, the group that is there makes a difference. We just went to a vanilla all inclusive resort in the Caribbean last month and it was amazing to see the dynamic change as the week went on and as the group dynamic shifted.
But, we always have fun no matter what the group dynamic is. If its a great group, we will be social butterflies and meet as many people as we can. If its not a group for our tastes, we tend to just have a blast by ourselves. Again, never been to Pearl but thats our philosophy everywhere we go.
Our understanding is that these are some of the nicest nude/lifestyle resorts in the world. We will be able to enjoy something 99.9% of the rest of the world will never see or experience.
Our two cent advice (and its not worth any more than that) is to let any negative reviews go. Just focus on being naked next to the ocean, great drinks, good food, beautiful pool...and all the sex you want with your partner (or others depending on your tastes). Let the RM comparisons go by the wayside and simply enjoy every moment of Pearl while you are there. That's what we plan to do. Cheers to an amazing vacation for you both!

Beachnbaha, I LOVE your attitude! What a positive way to approach life, you will find many new friends at the Pearl. You sound like someone everyone would enjoy being around. I know you’ll have a great time.

We have been to both several times. We are in our late 30's/early 40's and from what we read we thought Pearl might be a bit older but we did not find that to be the case at all. We were there in April and had a blast. For us it's all about the people you meet there. We love both for different reasons but you definitely will not be disappointed. We have been a total of 8 times and probably three or four of the funnest nights we had were at Pearl.

We had some friends that had been on an desire cruise, and had gone to RM - We love going to Pearl. They were the same way as you - they had heard that it was quieter and not as much fun as RM. We kept telling them the same thing people are saying here - Pearl is a more upscale resort and it's all about WHO is there, not the resort itself. It is the same at both - the crowd can totally dictate how fun a trip can be.

They finally went to Pearl earlier this year on our recommendation and are going again soon - they prefer it to RM.
Looking for fun in our travels :)
