When to visit Desire Resort - sponsored trip or solo?

Recommended Posts

We are thinking of planning a trip to Desire with a few couples. All of us are very social, and we like meeting new people. Is it better to go when there is a sponsored trip (SDC, SLS, Kasidie, etc.), are the known events or weekends that are particularly good, or is any weekend just as good as any other weekend? We are all in our early 40's. Thanks for any insight!

Anytime is good. Been there 3 times in last 18 months. With and without a group. All is good. We are headed back first weekend in April.

We've gone twice with the Life On the Swingset group and are headed back with them Nov 8, 2014. We like that they have a lot of group activities. It makes it easy to get to know people.

 

Honestly, i don't think there is a bad time to go to Desire. We just love the atmosphere there.

My initial thoughts were that a sponsored/organized trip would have more group activities (I think our group would like the activities). Is that accurate, or does the Desire staff do as good (or better) job of coordinating different activities?

 

Also, is there any issue of the nudest v. swinger conflict at Desire (like I have heard about at some resorts), or is Desire clearly swinger dominated? This is a trip we are leaving the kids at home. ;-)

We have been to Desire twice (RM and Pearl,) and the entertainment staff did a great job.

 

Desire is an interesting place. We met a few couples who were nudist. On day one, they would be telling us how they have no desire to go to the rooftop hot tub, by day 3 they were on one of the beds! We saw no conflict between nudists and swingers.

 

We booked both of our trips through a lifestyle travel agent (castaways travel,) and they were very helpful. Most of these agencies have groups going throughout the year and can help you decide if you fit into one of them. It is a good way to meet others before you go. I would also recommend joining one of the many yahoo groups, and the desire forum at forums.desiremexico.com.

Husband here, my two cents:

 

If you're experienced low-drama Lifestylers with very few limits I'd recommend a takeover. Our experience with takeovers are that it seems most couples that attend are more experienced in the lifestyle and are more likely full-swap. This isn't a hard and fast rule but after attending more than one takeover I feel pretty confident in my assessment.

 

If you're newbies then I'd still recommend either of the Desires but probably lean more towards Desire Pearl and avoid a takeover. When we were new to the LS we went to a takeover and it seemed once folks realized we weren't yet full-swap they moved right on to someone more experienced (we totally understood). We stayed over after the takeover crowd left and had much more fun and found more couples with things in common and met more newbies and made lots more friends.

 

Good luck!

We have been to Desire both by ourselves as well as with a group. Our best experiences have been as part of a group so that would be our recommendation.

 

Being able to "meet" others before going is very helpful. The trip feels more relaxed and we can arrive already knowing some familiar faces. Going as part of a group is also appropriate for newbies as well as experienced couples depending on the group. You also have the option of not participating in group social activities if you don't feel comfortable.

 

We have been going to Desire with the Swingercast group each year and have had a great time. If you do find a group we hope it is as welcoming as that one.

You can meet a lot of folks visiting at same time if use the travel planner on SDC. We already saw 7 other couples on SDC going same time as us in April. You can also join the yahoo groups for month you go and visit the Desire forum online for not only info but also areas to see who is visiting same month.

It's a great place! I go for vacation to Cancun every chance that I can, and the Desire is one of my favorites resorts, I'm looking forward for the event of this year, where I'll be going as a single lady! Yeiiiii :party: It looks that is going to be wild! Let me know if any of you will be going this year, maybe we can meet there.

We've been to Desire, booked with the C4P group a few years ago. It was a blast.

 

I think we're going to head to Pearl in 2015 with the Castaways group, 3rd week of June I hear.

How can you go as a single to a couples-only resort?

I think Desire has certain times of the year when singles can go.

I believe the month of August they are opening it up to a single woman add-on, but no single men.

      We just returned from our stay at Hedonism 2 in Jamaica and the worst part of it was having to leave. I wanted to thank everyone here and those that left reviews elsewhere for your recommendation. We were NOT disappointed. While many people are in different stages of the lifestyle with different interests, I wanted to provide my feedback to help them decide or provide some insight for those just getting started in the lifestyle.
       
      The facility was laid out very well, while they have a nude side and a prude side, either side is perfectly fine to choose and it is a very short walk should you choose to explore. The so called prude side, housing and beach, is the perfect place to spend the morning recovering from the night before or simply hang out in a quiet place for peaceful morning, relaxation and enjoy a more private intimate moment with your spouse or simply open a book to read. Clothing is optional, so do expect to see both nude, partially nude and fully clothed people. 
       
      The Nude side, is the perfect place for party time, anything goes to the wildest and most open forms in sexual interaction. The best way to describe the beach is 0 to 10. You can choose to be totally isolated at the very end of the beach where it starts on the border to the next resort and can walk down to the other end  which ends up being a non stop 24/7 party! You can basically walk along (a short easy walk) and choose to stay wherever you like. While being nude is required for this side, you can still expect to see some people with some sort of covering, sheer/lace, hat even a sarong. 
       
      Logistics:
      The Food is delicious, all kinds of food available for just about every taste, the staff is also familiar to help you with any food allergies and sensitivities. Don't hesitate to ask should you have some concerns regarding the ingredients, the staff is very friendly and happy to get any questions answered. On one occasion, (Asian Food Night) the chef came out personally went over which dishes contained gluten and pointed out what was safe. I stopped him half way through because there was more than enough to eat. Plates, Silverware, Napkins were all very clean, staff visited the table often to top off drinks and take away any plates.
       
      The Bars were fully stocked, the drinks were properly mixed and no sense of being watered down or weak like we saw at other resorts. If you want an extra strong drink, they were happy to oblige but the standard drink was as you would expect. 
      While they didn't have bottled water, you are given a reusable container with plenty of fill stations. The refill stations throughout the resort are triple filtered with UV to provide safe clean drinking water. The water was clean, odorless and tasted as you would expect from bottled water.
       
      The pools were clean and open to everyone, most of which are clothing optional with the exception of the one group of pools at the end of the nude side which was nude only. While there are several small pools through the resort, it was no trouble to find one that you can enjoy alone time with your mate. Same would go for hot tubs, plenty to choose from, private and open both nude and clothing optional.
      The nude side has a row of pools, semi warm one with a swim up bar, snack bar, wading pool (warm), waterfall that is a fence for a more private cave, large open hot pool, large cold pool and a smaller hot tub which is very warm. All of which are connected and easy to jump from pool to pool.
       
      Nude Side:
      - Do expect 99% to be Nude
      - Do expect to view open sexual activity, everywhere, on the beach, on the deck, around the pool, in the pool, on the floating dock, in the water, on the sand...... everywhere but inside the restaurants.
       
       
      Maintenance:
      While some did frown upon one pool or one room being closed as a given time, this is a good thing to be honest. The resort is basically a 24/7 establishment, there has to be a time where they perform maintenance and not every single room can be open 100% of the time. The resort is working hard to keep the property updated and clean, the closing of some rooms and pools should be expected. Nobody wants to go to a 'run down' resort. They are very conscious to maximize up time. For example, when we arrived the "Kamasutra Palace" was closed, we were a little upset at the moment but we saw that it was being repainted, new lighting fixtures being installed, floors being refinished and the whole building inside and outside being pressure washed. The next day, we went to find the other play room, just to find it closed but a sign hanging stating that the Kamasutra Palace was reopened and taking the place of the second play room. The same maintenance was going on there at the time. So there was always a play room open and while closing of any room sucks, it is nice to know they are keeping the buildings maintained and clean.
       
      We saw two pools closed during our stay which was no big deal as there were still many to choose from. I was surprised that they drained one pool, scrubbed, painted, made repairs and was refilled and back in operation within 48 hours. I've seen pools closed for weeks at hotels to make these types of repairs. I saw their crew out there in the dark working until it was reopened.
       
      Rooms: While the rooms were nice they were a little 'dated', wondering if they would be renovated anytime soon..... We then noticed 4 rooms with work crews gutting them for renovation, so do expect to see a new look on the other rooms the future
      Our room had one small issue, a drip of condensation from the A/C Unit, before we can even make a report, the maid noticed it and automatically contacted the A/C Repair Folks, they were in there during the daily cleaning and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. 
       
      Beaches: The beaches were cleaned daily of leaves and debris but no real trash was ever noticed. The beaches and water were very clean, plenty of towels stocked, plenty of seating and hammocks to relax in. Some of the rooms also had private hot tubs on the deck facing the beach, a few in which we visited, all of which were cleaned and treated daily, good condition and proper working order.
       
      Security: The beach is patrolled with several safety/security officers. None of which were a bother, they would greet you with a smile. I didn't see any of them up close to 'personal activity' but kept their distance. They were very professional and just let people do what they wanted for the most part. If there was some activity that kicked off, I noticed an officer excuse himself from that area and simply moved a little further away to provide privacy. The officers would routinely look in another direction and not take the scenes as a movie for them to watch. The staff was the same way, basically walk by and ignore the activity, no judging, no finger pointing, very very professional.
      We did have one interaction, while we met some new friends, one of them required an 'assisted' walk back to her room due to a little intoxication, as she was staying in the room next to us, we offered to walk her back, not due to a security concern but more of a trip and fall consideration. We were approached by security and was kindly asked what was "going on here" we explained and all was well, they did keep an eye to ensure there wasn't something else taking place but allowed us to go on our own and kept a good distance. 
       
      Guests:
      The best part of the trip were the people there. We have never met such a great group of people in our entire life. The people were non judging, open, very easy to talk to, happy to converse with anyone. The demographics of the group was better than expected. If you're worried about a certain age group or nationality, let it be known that it is a very diverse group of people. We've met people of all age groups, even a few in their 70's, all sizes, shapes, colors, classes, singles, couples. There is simply something or someone for everyone, no matter your level of participation in the lifestyle, you will not be disappointed. The people were very respectful.
       
      I highly recommend this resort to anyone, even if you're not currently practicing in the lifestyle, it is an experience that you will not forget.
      If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer.

      Hi, We are considering visiting Cherry Lane resort in Michigan. Can we hear some personal experiences? Any chance to have sex in public? (or semi-public area ???)
       
      Thank you!

      Has anyone heard about Cherry Lane nudist resort in Michigan?
      We heard there is a lot of swinging activity going on there.
       
      If you have been there, please share your experience or confirm if swinging takes place or not.
      We would like to visit this weekend, but want to make sure of what to expect.

      Interesting perspective here, a Huffington Post story of a monogamous lesbian goes by herself to a swingers resort. It's a good article, what she describes experiencing will sound very familiar.

      Simple question:

      What are the differences between the Desire Riviera Maya PEARL resort and the Desire Riviera Maya Resort?
       
      What do we need to know before choosing?
       
      THANKS!
