Two weeks ago, I approached the wife about what she wanted in the next vacation. Her answer was all inclusive and no kids, she didn't care beyond that. I wanted something different and sexy. All I could think of was us going to bed at 9PM after watching two old guys play the steel drum for an hour. Did a little research and long story short, came up with Desire Riviera Maya (and Pearl and Temptation). I've been surprised by the loyalty of everyone to all three and didn't see that in many other places. I just had to convince the wife. I hadn't finished my sales pitch before she was onboard and exited. Smaller, couples only, clothing optional, different, and definitely sexy- she's even open to "meeting" others.
Sadly, we have 2 commitments already this year that eat up most of our vacation time and budget and will have to wait for next year. (BTW, Is it selfish to wish a good friend's wedding would fall through so we could use that time to go to Desire in October? Would it make it worse if that good friend was the one that introduced us? Don't judge.) It looks like we will have time around Valentines day or April next year. What are everyone's thoughts? Valentines is obviously a "special" day, but I'm afraid mid February may be too cool to completely enjoy "lounging" around the pool. Do they usually schedule anything special that week?
What about mid April? Is it worth waiting another two months to go? Do either typically have a better crowd?
Lastly, for now, where is the cheapest place to book and when is the best time? Any suggestions?
