Le Couteau Cache' wrote:I dunno, but I'm a bit worried. When my wife and I first went to Desire in '05 (pre-hurricane Wilma), it was a resort way out in the coastal jungle. No kidding, we were out there by ourselves. The only resort anywhere close within walking distance was Azul to the north. North of that was almost nothing until Cancun, and to the south was just jungle meeting the sea. Almost no one outside of Desire was walking the beach in front of the resort. We used to make love on the pier that went out toward the reef.
Now I fear the place is turning into a Time's Square (ok, I exaggerate). Too much activity, too many people crossing the beach. I've seen so many children walking across the beach (with the parents covering their eyes), we no longer feel comfortable lying around on the beach palapas. We've morphed from being beach people into pool people.
I don't know what's worse, commercial progress or economic decline. Why can't perfect things in the world stay perfect !!!!!

What stunning Mexican style architecture Looks like a Holiday Inn with a better location.... At least it also looks like the activity end of the resort is the farthest from DRM

The 3 ladies took their bikini tops of and gave them to their husbands to hold so they could swim around topless. I asked them if they could take their tops of at Breathless and they said that they tried but they got nasty looks from others. I told them that they were staying at the wrong resort. They asked me about RM and they agreed that I was right. My wife and I took a stroll past the hotel to get a picture of us in front of our "cover" hotel. It looked busy but my wife was the only one in a thong so we quickly returned to RM. RM would be my pick between the two.
