Having said all of that we do, however, have a few personal points...some great, some not so great (minor in fact) but nothing to kill our want to return. In fact we are thinking very seriously about 2 trips next year...Valentine's day again and for our Anniversary!
First the great...
1) Nudity. It took us all of about 2min to go naked - this being our first time to any sort of clothes optional place. We got into our room (early by the way - we arrived around 11:30am and our room was ready so we were able to check in right then) and looked out of the windows at the pool and figured let's do it. We did and never looked back. No one ever made us feel uncomfortable. For the first day or two my wife was the biggest girl there and it never came up. A couple of other chubby women showed up later in the week and it seems that no one notices which put her even more at ease. It was one of the things that she was a bit concerned about before the trip but we quickly found out that she needn't have been concerned. It was so fantastic and freeing to be able to walk around like that and we have decided that we will never go on a "textile" vacation ever again. All naked - all the way for us!
2) Social. Everyone was very friendly and sociable. Far more than any other resort we've ever been too. We made some friends that we are already keeping in touch with to hopefully see again someday, be it at Desire or elsewhere.
3) Staff. This was the first resort that we truly made friends with the staff. They got involved and that, we think, was the key to getting to guests involved with the activities. It made for an environment that just seemed to be so much more fun.
4) PDA/PDS. My wife and I are very affectionate in public normally. To be able to cuddle and kiss and stuff without worry was like icing on the cake.
We were not sure how far we would take it being our first trip but one night after dinner while the show was still on we decided to go to a bed by the Jacuzzi and see what would happen. There were 3 or 4 other couples in other beds or in the water so we weren’t alone. The next thing we knew we were having sex and it was amazing 
! The rush and feeling was like nothing we’ve felt before and it has left us both wanting more. Before we left home we had discussions on boundaries and this was about as far as we though we would go on the first trip - mission accomplished! Next time a bit further and a bit further after that....5) Resort. The resort itself was so great because of the coziness of it. Small and intimate was just what the doctor ordered. Every day you pretty much saw everyone who was staying there and everyone says hello. Not like the mega resorts where you might talk to someone and then never see them again for the rest of the week. If you want some alone time you don’t have to go to your room. There are spots here and there that are quiet.
The not so great…again as I mentioned these are only observations from two people who had never been before. Not trying to be too negative here because it’s hard to be negative about the best vacation we’ve ever been on….
1) Social groups. I think this is a "us being newbies" thing. While everyone was very friendly you can see very distinct social groups that are not easy to get into being new. It is very clear that people travel together and while they are there they hang out together which is totally understandable. We did make some good friends both newbies like ourselves and veterans. A couple of times though we did get the feeling that we were sort of outsiders to these little groups – unintentional I’m sure. Next year we’ll see some of the same people and this will all be an afterthought. As we take future trips we have told ourselves to be very cognizant of newbies and try our best to include them.
2) Themes. We thought for the first trip we would sit and watch. We know that the themes are meant to be fun but going forward we (my wife more than me) like the themes that are more gender neutral like Sexy Uniforms. The ones like school girls and naughty professors or bunny’s and pimps unintentionally places women below men, even if it is just for fun and she is not interested. This is what I get for marrying a Sociologist with specializations in Social Inequality and Women's Studies
. We know that we could have both dressed up as Naughty Professors or something like that but it's the principal behind the theme that she doesn't agree with. We don't want to rain on anyone else's parade - it's just a personal observation. From my perspective I loved watching the women dressed as schoolgirls and then getting into various states of undress more and more as the night progressed! The best part is that no one is forced into doing things they don't want to and we can certainly find other ways to spend our time in other parts of the resort - 
. The themes change all the time so perhaps this is something to pass along to Desire itself and not for here.3) Clothes Optional. This is one of the things that brought us here in the first place and I know that it is optional but there were a few people that never got naked (not even for the Jacuzzi) and we couldn’t understand this. It costs more to come here so why pay and not enjoy the ability to go nude. To each there own I guess but it seemed a bit creepy in one case. Too bad he missed out on all the fun the rest of us were having like enjoying looking at his very cute wife who did go nude.
4) Music/Disco. We like to dance. It was good dance music the first night but after hearing the same loop of the same songs each night it gets old fast. I like older music (70s/80s) and my wife likes newer stuff and there was a blend but it was the exact same blend each night. It’s easy these days with digital music to get lots of different stuff so that if the DJ was feeling energetic no one would have to hear the same song twice in one week. However, I am sure there is a reason for it. Also the dance floor is too small and with it being raised like it is it can get crowded and I heard one story of a woman getting clobbered in the face by an inadvertent elbow. Take the raised portion out and everyone is then on equal ground and will spread out more. Again, perhaps something to pass along to Desire itself.
That’s about it. As I mentioned above we are thinking of not only going back each Valentine's Day, at least for the foreseeable future, but also in May 2017 to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We can’t say it enough – this was the best vacation we’ve ever been on thanks in part to the staff and the resort but mostly to the people who go. We cannot wait to return.
Only 351 days to go!
