REPORT: Last Monday may 5th, my wife Anabel and I, Gabriel, have returned from 4 wonderful days at Desire Resort in Cancn, which just have opened last April 28th as a couple only, nudist resort. You can't imagine how much we enjoyed that trip. The resort is very, very beautiful, even it is in its last details (gardens, for example, are not perfectly manicured), and some rooms have small failures. They have two restaurants (one buffet and one specialties). The first is good, not excellent; the second wasn't ready the days we were there. There is a snack bar, with some good food like ceviche, and poor quality meals like burgers, hot dogs, etc. They should work a lot in the flavor of the meals, not in the quality of the ingredients. There are 4 bars: one at the main pool, one at the second pool, near the lobby, a wet bar by the Jacuzzi, on the top of the new building, and the fourth, at the disco. They serve good quality drinks, and delicious tropical cocktails, with or without alcohol.
The beach is great! White and fine sand, very calm and clear water; there are not hotels in the immediate neighborhood, so we could walk nude around 1000 ft northbound and more than half mile southbound. There are two pools: the main, with an "eight" shape, is about 100' long, and 30' wide, with a constant depth of 5', ideal for swimming and games; the secondary pool, situated in front of the lobby, is smaller: two squares of 25' x 25' linked by a canal which is crossed by a nice wood bridge.
The disco is very well designed, with a wood dance floor with two poles, and a small stage with a more pole. Its size is exact for the size of the resort. You feel good with 10 or 50 couples there. There were contests every night. Anabel participated in all three: first day, with lingerie outfits, there was "blow job", with an infant bottle full of beer between my legs, and then switching positions: we lost. The second day there was no special outfit, but the contest was strip tease: four contestants and a cudruple tie. The third day the contest was "fake orgasm": five participants and Anabel won: she was the only one in do her performance completely nude, and I think that helped. In the back of the disco, there is a "play room", with mattresses, specially designed for swingers. We've entered there once, and the activities were too strong for us; we remained less than a minute.
After the disco is Jacuzzi time. We went twice, Saturday and Sunday. The water isn't warm enough, but they said that have some troubles with the heater and will solve soon (we hope, because in winter it will be impossible being there with this temperature of water).
A very important fact that makes the trip more enjoyable is staff: Most of people are very young (between 18 and 30), very kind and very smiling, except for the woman at the snack bar. They try to remember your names and preferences for drinks. There is an animation team too: they are 4 guys and 2 gals. One of the guys is completely dedicated to water sports (kayaking, snorkel, etc); other one is more in the organization than directly involved in activities, and the two remaining, Omar and Cesar, both Mexican, are the sparks of the fun. The two gals, beautiful and young Canadian girls, are nice and sympathetic, but this is their first job of this kind, so they are learning all the secrets of this difficult profession. They work from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, then from 9:30 PM to midnight at the disco. There were several activities during the day at the pool area, including games like beach volleyball, water volleyball, horseshoes, water-polo, aquaerobics, table tennis, etc; and funny contests that they are improving and testing, like "69", "blindfolded identification of partner", twister, etc.
There is a tennis court too. We knew that the day before departing, so we didn't have time to organize a match. Next time, for sure.
The spa is great: Brand new, it has a small gym area with about 8 to 10 machines, all of high quality; it has two steam rooms, one for men and one for women, but you can use either of them with your partner if you don't have inconvenience: we did that. There is a sauna, not working while we were there, a Jacuzzi and several massage rooms, where they offer a great variety of massages, including a "couples massage" that we didn't take for important rea$on$. Our budget for this trip was very, very limited.
Politics about nudism are different that those appear at their website: Nudism is allowed at all outside areas, including the snack bar and pool bar. You can walk nude from your room to the beach or pool. You can be nude at the Jacuzzi or at the disco, if you want. You need cover up only for restaurants and lobby areas.
Regarding the rooms: we've stayed in a standard room, ocean view. I think this was the best location for a room. Upstairs, with a stair exclusively for our room, that takes you from the room to the beach in less than 30 feet, and to the pool in less than 50. But due its orientation, you didn't receive the noise from the pool area if you want to make a nap after the lunch. The room wasn't very large, but enough for us. Very, very comfortable, with a modern and quite air conditioning equipment with wireless remote control, ceiling fan; a closet and some draws under the TV, a safe box, a small freezer always with a couple of beers, 4 cokes and two quart bottles of water, and a coffee maker with real coffee. The bathroom had a small shower (really small for two of us, but working well), a WC and a "bidet". The lavatory is outside the bathroom, which is very practice because you can, for example, brush your teeth while your partner requires some privacy. The ceiling was really beautiful, all in wood beams and planks, in descending angles. It was a terrace, shared with the neighbor room, which was empty while our stay. The terrace has an "equipal" table and four chairs. ("Equipal" is a Mexican rustic furniture made of wood and leather, very comfortable). It had phone, with a modern system, like many other hotels, that permit make direct dialing from you room to the entire world. We knew a Jacuzzi suite where a couple of friends stayed. It was much bigger, but not nicer. It had only a queen bed instead our king. And the best of all: the prices. We paid, read carefully: $170.00 daily PER COUPLE, all-inclusive. Their regular rate for this year will be $220, but if you make a reservation before may 31; they'll give you the 5th night for free. In conclusion, Desire Resort is a place for going and going again; each time your wallet permits it. Here is a personal evaluation of the resort:
