Desire Resort Forums

Hi everybody! My wife and I are scheduled for June 23-27 for Desire Pearl. First-timers looking to have a romantic and sexy vacation together. While we are not in the lifestyle, we do look forward to a more free and open environment where we can be ourselves and have fun!

I wanted to ask about the normal or suggested flow of the day at Pearl. Reading the posts, there seem to be certain times that the pool or jacuzzi is the hot spot to be, a good time to get getting ready for the dancing, the best time for dinner, etc.

I know we can do whatever we want while there, but what would your recommended scheduling be for first-timers who are looking to squeeze in as much fun as possible!

thanks in advance,
M&F

I think you got it correct when you said that everyone does their own thing and it all works out. We tend to stay on the quiet side during the day to rest, recharge, tan, read and relax. We move over to the loud side of the pool mid afternoon to rejoin the party. But for others, they want to be more active all day.

Some general timings though...

4 PM is when people move over from the pool to the Jacuzzi for afternoon delights. That runs until 6-7. People then go back to their rooms for rest, changing into evening attire, getting ready for dinner, etc.

8-10 PM (post dinner) people make their way down to the Lobby for the evening entertainment, followed by the show in the lobby/disco. (10 PM or so?) After that some people stay in the disco for some dancing, but most people move back to the jacuzzi for late night delights.

But then again, you may do something completely different, too.

The flow is the same every day. We call it "the migration".

The two times where it seems people do more of their own things:

Everyone does what they want till lunch... Clearly some sleep later, some to go the beach, some work out, some relax by the pool.

And everyone goes to the jacuzzi around 4PM (I have NO idea why everyone decides that the hottest point of the day in Mexico is the best time to go to the jacuzzi, but such is life). Some people stay there till they get ready for dinner, some leave earlier to take a nap before dinner, etc...

But those are about the only variables.

So it goes:

Whatever you want > lunch > pool &activity (if you're so inclined) > Jacuzzi > Dinner > Lobby/Disco > Jacuzzi

Yep, what they said.

The resort has a published weekly entertainment schedule.
Here’s the link - hope it works here. If not, maybe CokeMan can post it.

All of the above comments are spot on. We'd like to add the additional.
We both enjoy playing beach volleyball early in the day (around noon ). We generally follow that up with a workout at the gym followed by 'cleaning up' in the spa. So, after sweating out the previous days toxins we feel a bit rejuvenated and launch into the days adventures. After these minimal exertions we reward ourselves with a cocktail at the lobby bar with a "Juan Special" ... which is generally whatever Juan wants to mix up for the missus. This often affords the opportunity to meet new folks coming in and connect with others just hanging out in the lobby.
That said, you will figure out your own schedule and ... no matter what it is ... IT AINT WRONG!!
Enjoy your adventure!

That is funny about migrating to the hot tub during the hottest point of the day. It’s probably because the hot tub is closed before that time. The schedule is dictated by when the hot tub bar is staffed with a bartender.

You can check out my trip report from last week in the trip report section, but for us non-LS newbies, our schedule was as follows....
7am-we are early risers, take Vanilla pictures by the beach and have breakfast at aphrodite
8am- Horatio has our chairs set up for chilling and tanning.
12:30- lunch whatever is on the grill and chips and guac
2pm-4pm- pool activities, volleyball, foam party etc.
4-6pm- happy hour at Jacuzzi
7-9pm-Dinner and after dinner drink from the Lobby
9:30-change into theme night clothes and back to lobby for music and dancing
10:30pm- show in the Disco followed by dancing
11:30pm- Jacuzzi time....until.....

Just do what u feel comfortable with and have a blast!

We enjoy laying on our beach bed WATCHING folks like you play beach volleyball.

Well not only that, but they pretty much take the pool away as an option by closing the pool bar.

We understand, and we follow the herd... We just always roll our eyes a bit when we're walking to the jacuzzi, sweating before we even get in!

Yes, that is what we were going to post. It’s actually quite frustrating that they close the pool bar then. Having said that, we think a lot of it is about change of scenery for people. And even though 4pm is hot, part of the pool does get shaded right around then.

For us, the hardest thing about the flow is trying to work in a nap. If we aren’t in the room by 5 it just doesn’t happen. And it’s right around then where we are usually multiple drinks in and having a ball in the hot tub. But those Desire Naps are glorious and life savers after a few late nights.

Interesting that Wednesday is Naked Pool Volleyball. I would have guessed every time there was volleyball on the pool or maybe even the beach it would be naked.

Yes, it’s naked pool volleyball every day, regardless of what it’s called on the daily activity rundown.
