First Trip May 2017

Mr.'s Review:

It was good. You should definitely go. You should definitely do the pictures. The food was good. Make sure you take lots of money to tip. REALLY. Make sure you have going to the airport at the end of your trip also, there is a guy waiting for you at the airport to help you do stuff. There is an ATM at the airport and he knows where its at. Service was great. Drinks were good. You'll definitely have fun. :L Oh, and we really like talking about our trip so if we forgot anything feel free to ask.


Mrs.'s Review:

Has the excitement ended yet? No. Have we removed our bracelets yet? No! (Are we the only ones? lol) This was by far the best adventure of our lives yet and we still talk about it everyday. We were newbies, who read hundreds of reports and forum threads, travel websites, looked into many many resorts to have the experience we were looking for and found ourselves on an adventure to Desire Pearl. We didn't know where to start with a plan for this new journey, however we were excited to begin. We are in our late 20s (together for 14 years) and describe ourselves more as exhibitionists and voyeuristic more than anything. We knew we weren't models by any means lol. We didn't know if we would be in a clear minority or if we would feel uncomfortable at anytime for one reason or another, but the excitement of many of the reports we read was worth a shot right?! We had no idea how our lives would change and our relationship would strengthen from this experience.

We arrived via the transportation you can book on the Desire site, we are so glad we booked direct. From the moment we met chauffeur the service was incredible. Drink the bottled water, you will need it. We arrived early around 12:30p and our room wasn't ready of course. I had read we could go to the spa - but I knew I wasn't comfortable enough to not get settled in before heading out for the day. We were greeted with welcome champagne and many "Welcome Home"s. The staff are amazing and make you feel so comfortable right away. We asked (naively) if there was a place we might go to get Tylenol while we waited for our room, and were pleasantly surprised we could get it in the resort store. We were amazed that many of the items we contemplated bringing were available there, if we forgot something it was there, if we wanted something new and fun it was there. It was really a nice surprise we should have read more about. (Side Note: No matter how many times you read it - you WILL over pack). Our first dining experience was lunch at Aphrodite. We ordered from the à la carte menu, and were very impressed by the quality of the food, this was the only 'decent but not great' service we had while on our trip. After lunch, we grabbed some really good drinks at the lobby bar and before we knew it our room was ready.

The room was nice, but not extravagant. We didn't get a master suite since we really weren't staying long (4 days, 3 nights - in case we didn't love it). It was comfortable and very clean - and just right for the time we actually spent in the room.

We ventured out to the beach (covered in sea grass) and then the pool - look at us newbies with clothes on as our theme lol. It didn't take long to convince ourselves we needed more drinks so we headed to the pool bar. I took my top off (Mrs.) just to feel more settled in. Within minutes we started meeting really incredible people. We felt instantly comfortable. We met people from Colorado, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, South Carolina, Australia, the UK, and many more. We met some of the most genuine and incredible people of our lives the first day there. Some were in the LS, some were simply nudists, and many were just like us and we were thrilled! Around 4 we headed to the Jacuzzi with our new friends, yes on the first day (gasp)! We weren't sure what to expect, but we knew we weren't going to miss the opportunity to go with the comfort of new friends, going alone seemed intimidating. It was pretty low key, interesting but low key. The second day was much more fun and exciting as our comfort level continued to grow. Check out the calendar of the events by the pool - Maya (sp?) was awesome, such great staff around every corner at Desire!

The second night we did The Terrace of Passion from the Fantasy Menu. We weren't sure due to mixed reviews - but we freaking loved it! The meal was incredible, the service was well timed and perfect. Champagne again A++++. If you think you would like it, do it. It's worth it (well the beach bed alone was worth it)!

The next day we had our photo shoot with Jahel. We were really excited about the reviews we had read, and photos shared on here. We knew it was going to be fun and entice our voyeuristic side - but we had no idea just how fun the experience would be. We really enjoyed her professionalism, but also the fun of someone telling us what to do. You cannot prepare yourself for the experience of reviewing your photos together and seeing such intimacy unfold on screen. We looked amazing! We have looked at them every day since we got home. The photos are top notch and we consider them art (at least to us). We cannot wait to do this again! Take cash, you will spend more than you estimated ;)!

We had an amazing private dinner again on our last night there (my birthday) before heading to the lobby bar, disco and Jacuzzi. On our last night we really took our Jacuzzi experience to the next level and it was well worth it. Throughout the night we reconnected with so many of the great people we met on our first few days and we continued to meet wonderful new people. We didn't think to exchange contact info with the people we grew closest with and really wish we had thought of that in the moment. The people were simply top-notch. We were never uncomfortable, we never felt too young, everyone was incredibly accepting of everyone else and there is no place in the world we could feel more comfortable as a couple, or even just human beings.

If you are thinking about taking your first trip, go at your own pace but go all in for whatever it is you are going for. We are already planning another trip later this year and cannot wait to enjoy our many getaways together to come at Desire! Have questions, ask. We are an open book and like we said - we love talking about our trip and experience!

If you are thinking about taking your first trip, go at your own pace but go all in for whatever it is you are going for.


That is absolutely the best "Desire advice" quote I've read. It really does embody the Desire experience in so many facets. This is exactly the attitude we took into our first trip and on through the third and each time it has paid huge dividends.

Leading up to our first trip, a very common thing we read was that it is better to regret something not done than to regret something done. This is great advice of course, but I didn't want to come home regretting not doing something either, especially if it was because of being afraid to push a boundary just a little, which is part of what we signed up for. So this quote addresses that nuance and certainly resonates with our experiences.
