Just got back from our eighth trip to Desire. So glad we made the decision to go and not postpone. Thanks to all the previous posters who helped us make our decision. Here’s a real quick synopsis of our trip. Hope it helps answer some doubts others might have deciding weather to go

Cancun airport was a breeze. No lines at all. USA transfer was outside waiting for us and we were off. Used the link on n the forum to book directly with USA. Support the forum. Arrived to Pearl and immediately after walking thru the doors our temperature was taken. Not sure what they would do if temp was elevated. Checkin was easy and we unpacked and headed to the pool saw lots of familiar faces from waiters to bartenders , pool chair guys There were probably 20-25 couples at the pool each day. We had awesome weather. After a couple of hours by the pool we headed to the jacuzzi. Same thing there 20 or so couples. A little more subdued than normal but still a fun crowd. Emilio and Palomino behind the bar. One thing we enjoyed was the social distancing with the placement of the pool loungers. Normally they are almost stacked one on top of the other

One thing to mention, the staff is 100% wearing masks and are constantly cleaning to the point of spraying down your pool chairs and cleaning before you sat down.

Restaurants. For breakfast at Aphrodite they still had the buffet, but it was served to you, or you could or anything you wanted and they would make it like the awesome Juevos Rancheros . Each morning Miguel would have mimosas headed to our table as we walked in. Lunch was either order from the menu or some kind of grilled entree outside ,chicken, salmon , shrimp, calamari etc. At night Aphrodite was open in addition to either Pearl or Suki. On Wednesday night there was a members dinner in Suki which was really good. The food overall was about the same as before, good but nothing spectacular other than the crab and lobster and the grilled seafood for lunch

It was interesting talking with the waiters and bartenders about what they went through during their time off. It was quite a struggle for them. One thing we decided to do was something we did here at home when the restaurants started reopening. We started overtipping for good service just to help out in a small way. This is just a suggestion that we decided to do and noticed other couples doing the same.

The entertainment each night was ok. About 50/50 on theme night costumes

Overall we had a great time and felt very comfortable while there. So much that we’ve rebooked for October

Pardon us for asking, but did you encounter people stuck in Mexico due to Covid symptoms?
