The resort put together a beautiful, classy, meet-n-greet in the lobby for Party Naked Baby the first day of our trip. It was a sushi and champagne event with a DJ...at 6pm on Sunday. The staff introduced themselves to our group. It really made our group feel welcome and was a great start to the trip!
I feel the general overall service was better than we had experienced at Desire RM or Desire Cabo. I felt like I was at a 5 star restaurant all week...even at the lunch buffet!
Speaking of food...It was all wonderful!! My favorite restaurant was the new Sushi restaurant (yes...it is open). It is only open on Friday and Saturday nights...this is a shame...I could have eaten there all week! They do not have a non-sushi option...so it is not for everyone. We had a 30 minute wait to be seated, but they have a martini bar and seating on the upstairs patio while you wait.
There is menu service at most times in Aphrodite...even if they do not offer you a menu you can ask what you can order from the kitchen if you do not want the buffet. The buffet was very good though!
My favorite foods of the week included: escargot at Pearl – chicken on bone from lunch buffet – tempura shrimp tacos ordered from lunch menu- tons of fresh fruit at breakfast – guacamole! – all of the cream soups (some of the best soups I have ever had) – Salmon at Pearl on Aphrodisiac night (cooked to perfection)– tiramisu - sushi
I personally felt that the food was much better at Pearl than Desire RM. I heard other people say they preferred the food at Desire RM. I guess it is just a matter of opinion!
