DavidD - not disrespectful, just brutally honest - your very first post on this forum is phrased in a negative troll like manner and if you are already that fearful of a vacation in Mexico then the best advice I could give was that you should cancel your trip and go somewhere you would feel safe.

If you Google(or watch FOXTV) any city in the US would appear as not the most reputable of places

Partially true, but in Mexico it's just a little more obvious than in other US cities

If you search the internet for any city in the US you will find some real life horror stories about that place.
DavidD wrote:So here is a hotel with new management, new employees, new security, new bartenders etc. It just seems like a set up for possible disaster.
Original Resorts has been opening and operating successful hotels for many years Why would you think that the opening of Desire Pearl is set up possible disaster?
DavidD wrote:How can one be so sure that we are safe from the Riff Raff that plagues Cancun.
Are you implying that the 750,000 residents of Cancun city that staff &/or service most of the hotels in the HZ and the hotels along the RM for 3+ million US tourists a year are riff raff and a plague ?

Read the numerous trip reports from the forum members about Desire RM and expect the same from Desire Pearl.

Please post links to these "real life horror stories" so we can all see that they are not hype......
