Desire Pearl has the most in-room storage of any resort we have been to. Our room even has a built in suitcase cabinet! The bathroom has cubbies to store supplies leaving the counter top open. There are plenty of drawers and closet space (bring extra hangers from home!).
Our room has a deep bathtub (almost shoulder height) that is separate from the shower...very nice!
The service here has been wonderful!
Our room is very nice. It is the nicest of the basic rooms we have ever stayed in at the other c/o- LS friendly resorts. There is a lot of tile-work bamboo-rattan that really sets it apart. We have seen a lot of different layouts of the basic ocean view rooms, and they are all equally nice.
Our balcony is private. It is big enough for two to comfortably sit at the provided table. We have a beautiful ocean and pool view through the palms! I love the private balcony for a private nightcap!
We had a Meet-N-Greet for Party Naked Baby on the first day of our trip. Desire put together a wonderful sushi and champagne event for our group with a DJ. The staff introduced themselves. It was classy and made us feel very welcome!
The food has all been wonderful! I think it equals Desire RM and is better than any of the other resorts we have been to. There are less dining options...but I love how you can order from a menu for every meal.
The lobby construction is finished. It is not enclosed – they just added on to make it larger.
The hairdryer is a full size Conair! Not a cheap hotel quality wall-mounted unit! Yay...power!!
There are small touches like nice vases everywhere...classy place!
OK...now just a few things that we don't like as well:
Instead of the nice terry robes at RM...they have strange dress style robes. I don't think they are comfortable...it is huge on me! I am not a fan!
The walkway is too narrow for two people to walk together comfortably due to lattice-work concrete.
The pond is currently empty. An employee told us they were changing the liner after the lobby renovation and then would be refilling it. I know a lot of people don't like the pond...but the empty pond sure isn't very pretty.
The third restaurant (sushi) is not finished yet
Overall...I feel like Pearl is the nicest of all the resorts I have been to. It is classy and upscale! There is a fun crazy party this week with Party Naked Baby in the house...so it is the best of both worlds!
Husband is out of the shower...time for dinner at Pearl...YAY...I love my life!!!
