The flight from Miami was uneventful however Cancun customs were a mess taking over 1 ½ hrs to get thru customs. This of course made finding our transportation (Transbeach thru the resort) very challenging to find although we did it find after being harassed for a good 20 min and a drink!
Warmly greeted with glasses of champagne and quickly sent over to Renata for info about the resort and the sales pitch. Quickly turned down the sales pitch and she really didn’t press. Were told our room wouldn’t be ready until 3pm so we went to grab lunch; it was at this point that my wife realized that we seemed like pervy voyers being the only ones clothed! After lunch we went back by the front desk and were told that our room was ready early which was nice as we were ready to get out of our clothes (and didn’t want to risk putting carry-ons with money/jewelry etc in the spa locker)
Our gardenview room was on the far end of the resort which was great for getting some quite nap times/sleeping in however a little annoying when having to grab something from the room etc. Hot water was plentiful however just don’t flush or use the sink at the same time or you may burn yourself to death. Bed was comfortable, again nothing special but fine. The room was adequate, nothing fancy but really we were not in it very much.
Weather was great except for the first day and ½ which were chilly and very windy (resulting in periodically covering up with towels). Rained 3 days however was very brief and often a very refreshing break from the hot sun.
Plenty of beach beds which we never had an issue getting at any time of day. Mainly used the beach beds in the am to get some rest from the previous night. Decided against paying the $20 to reserve given that we found the pool to be much more of the social place and enjoyed making new friends. There are lots of mini circular beds and chaises that were very comfortable around the pool and Silvie did a great job ensuring all had their drinks! One annoying thing is that other guests would reserve both pool chaises and beach beds in the morning and then never use pool chaises until late pm if at all. But, we were always able to find something--beach chairs or beach beds. The EC staff was very entertaining, especially Nikki (love her) and Elsa (only been at Desire 2 weeks) who we got to know pretty well. The games ranged from volleyball to trivia to various sex games that provided a great lead into hot tub time! Would say 99% of the people were nude which was nice after reading how people were experiencing more clothed as of late.
The hot tub was often crowded as early as 3:30pm until closing (except for maybe 6-8 during dinner). This is where we met so many of the people that would become our friends for the week and beyond. Action was plentiful (and very HOT
Our biggest “complaintâ€
