Your trip reports and tidbits were incredibly helpful in our decision to vacation at Desire Pearl so we felt obligated to contribute one of our own. Hopefully our experience and suggestions assist in your planning and enjoying a great vacation. I thought about writing this as a day-to-day trip report but frankly after as many Tecate and Miami Vices as I drank, the details are hazy.
So strap in. Here goes.
Background:
We are an early 30-something married couple. We stayed at Desire Pearl October 5-13, 2014 to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. This was our first CO resort experience. When planning this vacation we set out to combine the naked/naughtiness of our Haulover Beach vacations with the convenience, relaxation and camaraderie of our vanilla resort/cruise vacations. Honestly, we could not be happier with our decision to visit Desire Pearl.
We were asked this question a couple of times, especially in the Jacuzzi around 1am so I felt it would be a good idea to mention the $64,000 question here… and no I’m not referring to whether or not we joined the members program but rather lifestyle or non-lifestyle?
We’ve had experience swinging with others here at home and on vacation but previously distanced ourselves from the lifestyle label. We have new perspective on the lifestyle after this trip. If [naked] vacationing with a bunch of other couples some of whom say “no way, not for us,” or with others who say “maybe we’ll try this trip” or other’s who ask if we’d like to come back to their room to see their toy collection puts us in the lifestyle, we’ll own it. The people we met, swingers or not, made the trip what it was because hands down the best aspect of the trip was meeting so many absolutely super nice folks from all walks of life and all areas of interests.
We are typically introverts at home, focused on work and our female half is working and in grad school. This trip was so different for us. All we did was meet other couples. We enjoyed dinners with other couples; chatting about life and liberty in the pool/Jacuzzi, etc. Our age difference was irrelevant. We would occasionally receive a comment from a couple who would joke about having kids our age, but it was minimal. And we had a blast with everyone we met.
So more about our trip…
