The Passion Suites have an indoor 6 man hot tub that must be filled each time you use it. It takes a while to fill so planning is a must. There is ample room to host a few people inside the room, but it gets crowded with any more than a few. There is a nice accessible patio on the beach side that has plenty of room and some couches and chairs. The passion suites also do not come with a full bar so you need to either bring your own (as we do) or make trips to the closest bar. They are great for small get togethers.
The Desire suites have alot more room. There is a full living room with a bathroom downstairs and then your bedroom and master bath are in a loft up a set of stairs. There is an outdoor hottub for each suite and a good sized shared pool on the beach side of the suites. We hosted several moderately large parties at our suite and I wondered how our neighbors felt about that. I told them to let me know if it was a problem and didn't hear anything from them. The Desire Suite also comes with a full bar which is very convenient.
Both are pricey with the Desire Suites being very pricey. But you only get to Desire every so often, so for us, we don't let price determine our choice.

We never hosted parties or groups in our suite, but both times the shared pool was conducive for meeting neighbors. I would not call the outdoor hot tub a true hot tub. It shares the same water as that of the pool so it stays cooler than a typical hot tub. If you run the jets for awhile, it gets warmer, but not that much. There is plenty of liquor in the suites, and while they will of course bring you ice, it is just as easy to take your bucket 30 feet to the outside lobby bar when more is needed.

We have partied in the suites and also agree and a bit disappointing sitting in the 'separate' tub (hot tub) that shares the same pool water and wasn't (warm or 'hot') conducive to sitting in it very long to enjoy to company. The indoor space and pool was great to host a larger group. We are partial to a private party 'hot tub' and for that reason would take the Passion Suite.

Great info! This makes complete sense. The hot tubs at the penthouse suites at Pearl don’t get that hot either, but this sounds a bit worse. The shared pool does sound like a unique option. Does that tend to get wild at night, or is it more of a quiet private thing?
Gobigorgohome wrote:Thanks, all. I guess the better way to ask is which suite is better for sex with playful couples we meet. We had great one on one sex in the penthouse suite, but didn’t share that with new couples we met. Maybe it was just the weeks we were there and the people. We fooled around at the disco and jacuzzi, but didn’t find the right moment for the room yet.
Love to hear about the stories that happened in either the penthouses at Pearl or Desire suites at RM. How did the experiences happen, what were the factors that made it happen, did the room add to the experience, etc. We are yet to have a FULL LS experience at Desire and want to change that and think the right room is important. I’d love to hear other people’s experiences. Thanks in advance. We’re booking for mid March 2019. Did anyone pop their lifestyle cherry in one of the rooms?

Thanks so much - this is super helpful! We stayed at the penthouse suite last time we went to Pearl and agree it is amazing! We’ve never been to RM, so wanted to try it out. I hope we don’t wish we had room 43 at Pearl again
