Desire Resort Forums

OK - So on previous trips to Pearl we've noticed couples who have brought their own favourite wine / whisky to the resort to enjoy during the day and at supper. On a couple of occasions these couples have generously shared what they brought with them as we shared a meal or two.

We never really asked them about the logistics of bringing wine to the resort though…. which leads me to the question of how??

I know the limit of what we (as Canadians) can bring into Mexico duty free - but will the resort charge a 'corkage' fee? (as most restaurants will that allow off premise wine / spirits) Or will Pearl generally allow it gratis? On one trip a couple had a fresh bottle of whisky every morning brought over to where they were sitting and opened with much ceremony + wine & champaign for supper; so they brought in almost everything that they drank.

We're only interested in bringing 3-4 bottles of our fave wine to enjoy and share over supper with new friends that we meet during our stay - None of the wine that Pearl was serving appealed to us, and we spent some time combing through their cellar… and there was nothing stellar in there either.

I've emailed the resort to ask this question - but no response. Has anyone here brought wine to share over your meals?

We have brought wine to RM before, and to dinner, with no problems, and no corkage fee. Can't imagine Pearl would be any different..

Same thing here no issues or problems at RM in the past with a few bottles champagne & a Bottle Of Apple Smirnoff as they don't have it and can't get it.
Plan on doing the same this trip to pearl & don't see an issue.

Excellent!

We're not 'those people' (wine snobs…) - but food and wine is a HUGE part of the sensual experience...

We only drink an upper end tequila and brought 2 bottles as I had asked if they furnished the kind we drink and they did not. That said, 2 bottles didn't last us long and when we inquired as to supplying us with that for an extra charge they were very happy to oblige. When we needed a bottle we simply let our butler know and one was delivered to our room and put on our tab.
