mansion at Pearl

Postby BG1031 » Fri Aug 06, 2021 1:50 pm

We have been to pearl once and RM many times. Now that the mansion is open, Has anyone experienced it? Is the experience there any different then just staying at pearl in a regular room? Or should we stay with what we know and like at RM?

Best advice, use the search button top right as there is much chatter about the mansions at Pearl on this site.

Our 2 cents, it's new, beautiful but isolated from all the other guests and no ocean view....no thanks, for us it's the penthouse suites when available! Again, our choice....and as to your question, only you can answer that. We love both properties but as always, it's the people which make it a sexy, fun experience!

We prefer the Mansion in the summer and the PH every other season. Can’t beat that new hvac in the mansion.

Outside of that the rooms are nice (four star if I had to rate) and the bathrooms are great. The swim up was surprisingly pleasant as well.

in my experience, it completely depends on who's there with you. Last time we were there (May) we had some fun couples the first few days. We had our own private party in our pool (and the huge play room) after the big hot tub festivities were over. Then they left. It got pretty boring over there after that.

We were at Pearl for 11 nights this summer, so we had lots of time to sample everything about Pearl. While most everything was very nice and fun, we were very disappointed that the Mansion served as a means of segregating it's members from the rest of the crowd. Previous friends of ours who had joined the mansion crew simply disappeared in favor of hanging with fellow mansion goers. This is a sad and unintended circumstance of having a somewhat elite option for those who have deeper pockets than ours. Our next planned trip to Desire will be to RM.

That’s actually a reason we bought in.

We love hanging out all day and into the night. However there are some trips where it’s too crowded or the vibe isn’t there from our perspective or whatever. In those situations it has been nice to escape to a more secluded area. Plus you never have to worry about overcrowding for dinners, etc.

Case in point, a couple of trips ago the hot tub was full of a group that was very loud and intoxicated which was obnoxious. Rather than let it kill the night, several of us went over to the mansion pool and hung out until later in the evening. Was a nice life line.

We were there a few weeks ago and stayed 7 nights in the mansion. We thought it was great. We really enjoyed everything about it. It does feel somewhat separated from the rest of the buildings but is still close to everything. We are very social while there but we also enjoyed being able to have a quieter place to go if we wanted a little quiet time. The room itself was very nice. Everything is bright and modern. We don't care for the outdated rustic feel in the other buildings. As stated above the A/C working properly and not dripping puddles in the floor was great as well. It never fails in normal rooms our air will be messed up and dripping water all over the floor. We also enjoyed having the private restaurant available whenever we wanted. Long drawn out dinners aren't our thing so being able to get something cooked fresh and relatively quick was good for us as well. Not to mention the butler service. We had Michelle and she was fantastic! She was constantly checking in with us making sure everything good and making sure we had dinner reservations every night before we even asked. She really went above and beyond to try and make our experience the best it could be.
Now with all that being said the only reason we stayed there was because we found a great deal when all the prices dropped due to covid and figured if we were ever going to stay in there now would be the time to do so. I just looked today and the same room during the same week next year (and only the room ,no flights included) is over double what we paid this past year with our flights included. It was a deal we couldn't pass up. We definitely enjoyed it but there is no way we could ever pay that to stay there again. If they would just give the regular rooms a little update we would be just as happy to stay in those for the money.
