Once again, my wife had to twist my arm to return even with a wedding to pay for in 2 months but being the loyal husband that I am, I forced myself to return this year. Plain and simple, I love watching my wife rest, read 10 books, drink and just plain relax for a week.
We enjoy the atmosphere that only Desire can give us. While only at 30% capacity, the 30% who were there were simply incredible. The playroom was active and fun. The new disco floor was great. The only complaint was Il Piacierre was closed for renovations which means we'll have to return next year to see what they did to it. The guys all said the place will be fantastic when completed. A lot of noise and construction going on but if I owned the place, I'd do in it August as well when the place wasn't full so no big deal. Food was the same, would be nice to change it up a bit. Don't like the Suki menu at all now. The beach wasn't raked as much as in the past and it needed it but Africa and CC are simply the best one two punch in Mexico. The guys at the bars are all fantastic and we love chatting with all of them, one of the reasons we patronize Desire as much as we do. Your glass is NEVER empty and the cappuccinos at the lobby bar are worth the price of admission. The EC were fun, Black Magic (my twin brother), Foxi, Vanessa and the gang make things fun. They try real hard even with only 30+ couples there, they did their best.
The foam party was fun but taking out the platform beds simply sucked. PUT THEM ALL BACK!
Every year we go back, we seem to find that 1 or 2 couples that make the trip memorable and enjoyable. We were not disappointed this year. Its amazing when going to Desire when you have no expectations of anything spectacular happening but when it does, it makes you realize what a special place Desire really is. Whether you "hook up" or not, its the folks in the pool and hot tub area that makes the week well worth it.
Will we return for #10 next year, its up to the boss but she seems to want to go back. Who am I to argue?
