In the past sex on the beach was disallowed in part to prevent complaints from those from outside DRM who could be offended.
Cokemann care to offer comment on this?

In one case, he was on top, she had her head hanging off the foot of the bed !

The beach is a public space. As sex in public is illegal in Mexico, this is not a matter of resort “policy”
There has always been some action on the beach beds, but as long as a couple were somewhat discreet
about it, (covered with a towel etc.) security generally turned a blind eye.
Over our 10 day trip, we noticed several couples being extremely obvious. In one case, he was on top, she
had her head hanging off the foot of the bed !
People walk their kids down that beach...
In the past, with the signs on the beds warning guests, and the beach listed as off limits, the resort had
plausible deniability. Condoning it in print is a big problem..
Given the power of social media, it only takes one outraged parent – perhaps armed with a video clip-
and a story about her 10 year old little girl witnessing an “event”, and adding the fact that the resort
encourages the behavior, and we have a shit storm.
Desire has enjoyed a reputation of being a classy resort. In the scenario above , we would be
painted in a very different light.
Suzi and I are definitely beach people. We love to hang out on the beds all the way til tub time.
Getting permission to have a nude beach is not a given in Mexico. We would all certainly suffer
if the police had to crack down on the resort because of a tourism publicity nightmare.
We expressed our thoughts to the manager on check out, and it seemed we are not the first to bring this to
their attention.
Just our 2 cents worth.

As for the outraged parent, sure I could see it but it would be pretty hypocritical of them to go all judgmental while at the same time making a video of other people without their consent

In speaking with the GM he clearly indicated that sex "on the beach" is not permitted, but on the beach beds is since they are technically "Desire's property."
While I was expecting to see stronger warnings on the signs entering the beach, they were actually a bit smaller and non-descript than before. That being said, this trip had by far the fewest number of beach walkers in 13 trips. It's very difficult to get around the sandbags by Breathless now due to erosion - and it looks very uninviting when you approach. Heading in from Azul, the house with the large wall now forces you to go out in the sea during high tide if you want to get around. Over 7 days I only saw one family with kids walking by and that was before 10am.
Hopefully even though this is now permitted, people will still use discretion while enjoying this privilege so as not to risk losing the freedom.

There is a world of difference in most people's minds between naked volleyball (honestly, I've never seen anyone playing naked and only one or two where a lady was topless) and blatant banging on a beach bed. I think most nudism organizations make the case that they are family friendly and it's not about sexuality. Plenty of examples of nudist kids playing volleyball with their parents. Yes, someone could still get outraged that their kids saw a boob but they would be unlikely to get a lot of traction on that issue. f**king on the beach bed? - now there's something that could blow up.
I don't think fear of being hypocritical is much of an inhibitor for many people.
