As the kids say today...OMG!!!
We traveled to Pearl in May and it was simply amazing. We had never been to anything like this and we are not in to the lifestyle, we had no expectations at all. We had planned to go to Vegas and by chance came upon an ad for Pearl, looked at it and decided to go for it.
We are in our 30's (36 and 38) and live in a small town where we both have jobs where we are in the public eye so it is hard to really go out and let our hair down. We thought we would do something "a bit wild", .....we had no idea.
We really knew very little about the resort or what to expect, other than it was clothing optional. Upon getting to Cancun we took USA Transfers and they were great. We got to the resort and were greeted by the wonderful staff, check in was quick and painless. The showed us around a bit then were were left to fend for ourselves.
It was late afternoon when we ventured out. We went to the pool for a while then onto the hot tub. I though I would be comfortable going topless, after about 10 minutes I graduated to full nudity. When we first go to the hot tub I never...ever...would have imagined that a few hours later I would be lying on the bar while three women licked chocolate off all of my body....and I mean all of it. This was my first of many "if my friends at home could see me now" moments. I have to say again, this was something totally new to us.
The resort: As other have said, the resort is beautiful, the rooms are great. The beach was fine. There was some seaweed washed up some days but we live on a beach and are quite used to that.
Life There: We got into a routine pretty quickly. Get up and have breakfast, hang out on the beach. Several days the staff would bring us lunch on the beach, as well as drinks all day. Later in the afternoon we'd go to the pool and then onto the hot tub. By 6 or 7 back to the room to get ready for diner. After that, that's when things really got fun.
Food: We thought the food was excellent. Pearl was our favorite. The food was great, the service was superb. The sushi was also very good. Both breakfast and lunch were fine to. You could get anything you wanted.
Atmosphere: It is truly the people that make this place. I didn't know there could be a place with such a super charged sexual atmosphere. We really pushed our boundaries and did things we never imagined we would do. (like have sex on the beds beside the hot tub with people watching.) A few mornings I would wake up first and have to masturbate while waiting for my husband to get up and have sex. Everybody was very respectful and you could be as wild or as tame as you wanted, and nobody cares. And who knew women could be so much fun.. I brought lingerie I would be timid wearing in front of my husband in our bedroom and wore it to the disco.
Other Stuff: We did the erotic massage, it was awsome. That is a must do. We also did a catamaran tour, it was pretty fun and would probably do it again but wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't. The staff on board was really good and lots of fun. We also walked to Puerto Morelos several days. It is a nice walk and a cool little town. Worth checking out.
The staff:
Age: After booking we thought maybe we should have booked RM because there would be more people "our age " there. Having been there it really doesn't matter. There were 12-15 other couples around our age and we all seemed to gather together in the evenings. We also had a great diner with a couple in their 50's, hung out a few afternoons with a couple from Texas in their 60's, my husband got molested in the hot tub by a women who was 65 (and very hot) . If you are trying to decide where to go I wouldn't even consider age as a factor. It really won't matter.
Music: As others have said the music wasn't the greatest, until the last night. Most nights the disco would clear out fairly quickly but our last night there the played a lot of AC/DC, Aerosmith, Journey, etc, etc, all that kind of stuff from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It was a lot of fun and it was busy that night.
The Bad: You will never be able to go to another "normal" resort again. Also, you have so much fun and can't really tell anyone home about it. You really have to experience it to understand.
The Bad part 2: The sales pitch is a bit annoying. The can be very aggressive and pushy. It is worth doing for the coupon book but be prepared to listen to them then just walk away.
I thought we would go and have a relaxing trip, come home and thats it. We have already booked our return trip. Reluctantly we are going to try RM. I am sure it will be great but I don't know how we could top Pearl.
If you are thinking of going....just do it!!! It is something everyone should experience. We are a very normal couple. If you knew me and read this review you wouldn't believe it is me writing this. Even I didn't know I had such a "slutty" side, for lack of a better word.
We have been married for 8 wonderful years, have a normal sex life. With work, kids, etc. it is not where it used to be or should be. This was a real boost we needed. It did more for us than we could have imagined.
If anyone has any questions at all about our experience I would love to answer them.
