Only available for booking to members. Each guest staying there allowed to invite a guest (couple) to the mansion via a day pass kind of program. To be completed sometime in 2019. Also a Temptations and a Desire property slated for Dominican Republic both to be completed before end of 2020. According to people doing membership pitch last week.

And there is the important piece of info of this tale (not that you told one but rather there's a reasonable chance that you were told one, if history is any indication). Take anything they say with many grains of salt. Only believe it when you see an official announcement from Original Resorts.
For example, in the last year alone that makes about the 5th thing I've heard that is supposed to happen in the next 18 months.

If it is just a rumour then the resort is taking people's money falsely as we watched our poolside neighbours purchase into it. The ask was for for north of a $100K. They had room mock ups, they had floor plans...so I hope that these posts of it being a rumour are not correct as it would greatly concern us as to what is going on at the resort.

On a visit in May of this year we were shown - all on an iPad - Desire branded drawings, artists renderings/photos, etc. of the new "Pearl Mansions". We were told these would be added "sometime" in the future at Pearl in order to be similar to the Villas at RM. We were also told that they would be going behind the spa where the current yellow/orange house is on the property and that it would be torn down.
Based on past performance I'm not sure I believe that it will ever happen, but who knows. I'm back at Desire in 48 hours, I will ask again. But take it all with a grain of salt until the press release comes out.
