We booked a trip to Pearl for July 2015 and in reading thru the trip reports and playroom posts, we're concerned RM might have been the better choice. I haven't read too much lately about Pearl that wasn't food (didn't even know they had food), chair selection (or lack thereof; again, not really very high on the priority list) or disco music. I know the atmosphere is "other guest dependent" but what's been going down lately at Pearl? We're newbies, fresh from Negril and ready for more. Looking for some recent FF/other soft swap success stories from Pearl. Thanks guys!

Pearl was packed to the gills last July and we had a blast. We will probably be back again in July (headed back there in March first). That was our 5th trip and honestly had the best time there. Had more fun and made more friends than in some trips to RM in the past.

Keep reading the Pearl blog....you will fall in love all over again, once you get there....there is no comparison. We will raise a glass, repeatedly, to all whom we will meet up with again in June! This is our 4th return. We began at RM, and fell in love with the Pearl.

Cheers!

we have been to Pearl twice and can't wait to go back. Lovely grounds, many very hot swinger couples, great staff and great food.......not sure what else we would want

But where are all the good, detailed reports? In the words of Cokeman, post it or it didn't happen.

f**k. Just take a chance and go. Nobody is going to hold your hand through this decision process. If you can't afford to make a wrong decision, you probably should cancel and go somewhere you've been before and you know you like. Otherwise, step off the edge and see what the f**k happens. You probably won't die.

(sorry, I may have had something to drink before logging in...)

TandD is correct; death is highly unlikely. The worst thing that will happen is that you'll go, come home, and spend the majority of your waking hours thinking about how to get back down there. I say this because we did it last year. Went in Feb 2014; loved it so much, we went back in August 2014. The only problem with Pearl/RM is that it pretty much ruins the desire (pardon the pun) to go to any other vacation spot (and we're not in the lifestyle).

Very well said...drink or no drink...lol

Haha, this took a very strange turn! No doubt we'll have a blast. Not worried a bit about dying. It just seemed like a good deal of the most recent, exciting playroom posts were coming out of RM and was curious if there were some newer out of Pearl. Thanks for the feedback!

We were there a few weeks ago (Jan 1-5) and while relatively short lived each night (60-min tops) the playroom was hot, hot, hot on two of our four nights. We are talking 6-8 couples and a foursome or two going at it full-on at once. My GF is supposed to write our trip report, but she's being lazy and I have to get on her. I wrote the last one. Its her turn!! But I'm chiming in here to give you some recent info.

The thing is, there is a flow at DP....It never wavered in our 4 nights. Pool all day until around 4 Jacuzzi 4-8, dinner 8-10, Show/Disco 10-11, Playroom 11-12, Jacuzzi 12-whenever.

The disco rarely stayed good for more than 45 min or so after the show was over...but if you make an effort to get some folks into the playroom you will be rewarded with some good memories!!!! I know we were!!!

Have fun. You can't go wrong.

In a small resort like this the people really effect the atmosphere. Last May over a single week it was like two different resorts from early to late week. For the first half of the week it was very sleepy...no one in the disco past 12, no one at the jacuzzi past 1 or even at all when we went down at 12. No one ever in the playroom. Second half of the week the crowd changed. More people in the playroom. People always at the disco and at the late night jacuzzi. A lot of times people want to have fun they just need someone to set the tone. We participated in everything we could during the day, did group shots at the jacuzzi in the evening, encouraged a group to join us on the dance floor while at the disco and even had a couple large parties in the penthouse (one 20+ people, two 40+).

The advice about there being a flow about where to be when is good. Join the group at those times. Socialize. And 'fun' things are bound to happen.

Sounds like you want more info on those 'fun' things. Check out our trip report for that but of course much must still be left to the imagination

We were at Pearl for the first time last July, and we can't wait to get back this July. When we were there the resort was at full capacity and it did not disappoint! I don't think you made the wrong choice and I believe you you will definitely be happy with your decision! Relax, welcome home!
