Jerry & Liz - June, 2009

Ok…this is a trip review from a first time Desire couple. I will be as honest as I can.

First off, the trip was spectacular. We would go back in a heartbeat and would recommend all loving couples to do the same. My wife and I had probably the most romantic and most erotic time of our entire life. We have never been to a clothing optional resort NOR are we swingers…although we were and are open to new experiences with others should they naturally occur.

Desire is for ALL couples. This means swingers and non-swingers alike. If you are a non-swinger you don’t need to be in the areas where swinging takes place. That being said we did see one couple and it appeared like the wife was not really into the “Desire” experience. The guy was seen roaming around by himself and watching others a few times. Advice to couples: make sure you are both on board for the experience before you book Desire.

This was our very first trip and we really did not know what to expect. I now think we have a good idea. Keep in mind that we did not have a swinger takeover group during our stay so things might be different at those times. Desire is a great place if you just want to re-kindle the romance in your life or if you want to experiment a little by having sex in public or even go a little further by meeting new friends and enjoying their company - sexual and otherwise. It's all good and it's all perfectly acceptable. For us it was easily the most romantic AND the most erotic vacation we have ever taken.

I would equate Desire with the word "freedom". It's a very liberating feeling just to shed your clothing and be naked for a week. It was great spending the day at the ocean in a beach bed, swimming in the ocean or walking the beach totally naked. Or later at night heading up to the Jacuzzi bar for a drink and making love in the nearby Jacuzzi beds….often with dozens of couples nearby or other couples making love a few feet away in the next bed. It's an almost indescribable experience.

The best way to describe Desire on a "play" scale is imagine a scale from one to ten. (This may differ if there is a “takeover” group at the resort). This is based on the couples we met and our conversations with them.

1-Couples at Desire for just themselves - no swinging (20% of the people)
2
3-Couples at Desire just for themselves but love to watch others and be watched having sex (20%)
4
5-Couples at Desire for themselves but willing to swing if the right opportunity came along (30%)
6
7-Couples at Desire definitely looking to swing with other couples as soon as possible and often (20%)
8
9
10-Couples at Desire looking for full blown orgy sex every single night (10%)

The attitude is very laid back and all guests were very accepting and cool. If it is your desire to mix and meet with others the Jacuzzi Bar is the place. People gather at the Jacuzzi at around 6:30 or 7 PM and go for couple of hours. Appearance is across the entire spectrum. Ages from late 20's to over 70, but the vast majority 40 to 55 or so. A small few that could stand to lose a few pounds...or maybe a lot. Everyone seemed to be accepted by all. There is a ton of eye candy for both men and women - that being great looking well hung guys and hot women - all naked. It is a very, very cool scene.

You can choose to meet and hook up with others or choose not to...it's all cool. You can choose to have sex in public or watch others in the playroom or the Jacuzzi beds - very hot.

If you feel that it might be "over the top" then, like I said, you can just avoid the places that may be too much like the play room in the Disco. The only time we felt it went over the top was just once at about 7 pm in the Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi was filled with about 30 people and this guy starting fucking his wife by the bar. It just seemed a little odd considering everyone else was just milling around and talking. That happened only once.

What seemed more natural and very erotic was just hanging out in the Jacuzzi and sitting there having a drink and chatting and you will see women caressing her guys cock like it was the most natural thing to do - naturally that led to lots of blowjobs. There were lots of those.

First the CONS (and my opinions):

1-Desire need to simply DROP the timeshare pitch upon arrival. Of the dozen couples we met only two accepted the pitch and they did so only to get the $100 spa credit. It’s a waste of time, an annoyance and not becoming of a classy resort. That being said it only took a few simple “No’s” from us and nothing more was made of it.

2-Desire should offer free in-room Wi-fi or internet access in the lobby. No excuse to charge for it at the rates we pay for the stay.

3-Desire needs to dump the cheaper liquor at the bars and just offer the premium stuff – and nothing else. A customer ought not to have to ask for “the good stuff”. The same applies to the extra charge for food like lobster. Get rid of it. Once again it cheapens the Desire name

4-Desire needs to train the bartenders – drinks were often inconsistent. The same drink would be made completely differently by different bartenders

5-Fans circulating air in the bar areas and seating areas in the lobby would be nice

6-A few couples, one in particular, appeared to be Mr. & Mrs. Social Butterfly which is Ok except that they liked to have very LOUD conversations out on the beach beds. The beach beds are for RELAXATION, reading books, napping, quiet conversations, listening to the ocean waves. It is NOT a time for loud 3 hour long social conversations. Very Annoying

7-The disco played the same mind-numbing disco techno/rap beats every night. You’d think that on “retro night” that retro music would be played. Not so. It would be nice to have an occasional SLOW love song so that everyone can dance to with their sweetheart. This may be why the disco clears out so fast after an hour or so.

8-At 60% occupancy we had no problem getting a beach bed or pool lounger – but I can definitely see it being an issue if the resort were any fuller.

9-Desire is getting close to pricing themselves out of the market – and it’s only because of no competition that they can keep the prices so high. They need to be sure to listen to their current customers on these issues.


The PROS:

A LOT of pros…I’ll just mention a few.

1-The food was surprisingly good and the service was excellent. I had lower expectations in this regard due to previous reports but overall it was very good. However, we do think that one would get bored with the menu selection after a week or so.

2-The beach beds were incredible (except for the rude couple mentioned above)

3-Swimming nude in the pool and the ocean was awesome.

4-Walking naked every night from the disco at 1 AM to the Jacuzzi (then making love) was fun

5-Getting naked in the Playroom – wonderful experience

6-Walking along the beach totally naked – both in the daytime and at midnight under a full moon – incredibly romantic – magical

7-Slow Dancing with my lovely wife under the beach gazebo while it’s pouring rain – the most romantic moment of our life

8-The accommodations were very nice – small – but nice.

9-The Jacuzzi area was great. Easy to meet and make new friends and to witness or even participate in some highly charged play (blowjobs in the tub and lovemaking on the beds). It was all good.

10-Desire is a magical place – like Fantasy Island once you pass thru the sliding glass doors from the lobby. I half expected a little bird to land on my shoulder and say “you’re home!” Your very first sight is a clean lobby with beds – a lobby bar – and naked people!

11-Finally, the think that makes Desire what it is – the people. Never in my life have I met a group of people so open and loving and accepting. It was so easy to talk and make new friends. I cannot ever see this happening at another “normal” resort. Thanks to all of you who we met and who were so incredibly nice (J&S, J&K, G&J, R&A, J&T, L&J, D&J and on and on)

My wife and I had a great time. We did take one “off-campus” trip to see Claudia for massage. We took the opportunity while at Desire to rekindle our passion among ourselves as well as meet some new friends. We hope to be back next year.

About Eyes Wide Shut Disco theme night:

 

First off, my wife and I thought it was a highly erotic and fun theme night.  It really was a nice change of pace from the standard "dress down" theme nights....and it will be fun if you go in with the attitude to "go with the flow".  We don't have any in-depth swing experience but we decided just to relax and have fun....come what may.

 

We bought along the "costumes" because we wanted to be involved because we heard that those that decide to participate in theme nights seemed to have more fun.  I would have to agree with that assessment. What was a little surprising was I would guess that out of about 45 couples in the Disco that night...probably at least 30 dressed for theme night. The entertainment staff sets up a table at the lobby at about 10 or 10:30 PM with several dozen marti gra type masks and black cloaks. These are for those that did not bring theirs along.  I was told that the resort was at about 60% capacity FYI.

 

Women wore masks and cloaks...many with a tiny "g" string or nude underneath...and that is it. Guys appeared to have on black boxers...although some were nude under the capes as well.

 

At about 11 PM or so the couples gather up in the Disco and dance or have a drink. Somewhere along 11:30 or so (it's east to lose track of time)  the big TV screen by the bat starts to show the sex scenes from the EWS movie with Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman.  It wasn't creepy at all (at least to us).  After a minute of so of the video the Entertainment Coordinator (EC) - who is also dressed in a long black robe and mask - stands in the center of the raised oval dance floor, microphone in hand.  He asks that all the women make a large circle and surround the dance floor.  Some couples choose not to participate and stood further back near the seating area.  I would guess that around 25 or so couples choose to form the circle.  Guys were directed to stand behind their ladies.

 

The music went down and the EC stayed in his center position on the Dance floor and he began to very slowly rotate in a circle observing all the women who were standing in a large circle about ten feet in front of him.  Every few seconds he would slowly raise his cloaked hand and point at someone (a woman).  That woman would come up to the dance floor (but not on on the floor).  Women clearly had the option to participate as several declined when he pointed at them.  My wife was one of the ones selected ("and my heart began racing" she said). After the EC had selected around 10 women he directed then to step up on the dance floor forming a circle - facing inward.  He then asked the guys (husbands) to stand directly behind their ladies and reach up and around and remove the cloaks.

 

It really was a highly charged and erotic sight..even some couples who did not participate said as much later.  10 Women, most nude and some in the thinnest of "G" strings so small they might as well been nude.... and just wearing sexy masks. Husbands are standing directly behind their lady.  The EC directed the guys to reach around and caress the ladies breasts and kiss the ladies up and down their back.  He then had the ladies turn around to face the guys and he directed the couples to kiss passionately (their spouse).  He then directed the guys to kiss "further down" and to "caress and kiss the nipples".  You have to imagine the sight...

 

At this point (and it really goes fast)..the (the EC) asks all the couples to get on their knees (still facing each other) and the guys were directed to continue kissing "down" and "further". The ladies were directed to lay back and let their man "kiss that very special spot".  So all the guys were giving the ladies oral sex for maybe 15 or 20 seconds...not long at all.  He then asked every one to change positions and the guy laid back on the dance floor while the ladies gave blowjobs....again for maybe  15 or 20 seconds only.

 

At this point the EC announces that he "has something very special for us".  The scene is 10 couples who were the "chosen" are sitting around the perimeter of the raised dance floor.  All other couples who are still dressed in cloaks and masks are nearby and watching intently and silently. It was very easy to see that ALL the guys were excited...to say the least.  Two very small, yet beautiful women from the resort...dressed in "G" strings make their way to the center of the dance floor (the EC is gone at this point). These two ladies do an incredibly erotic slow dance with each other.  It was very hot.  For a few minutes they are onstage dancing, hands and lips seem to be everywhere. There was NO overt sex going on between the dancers, but just a lot of slow hands moving up and down and body grinding and ass/breast rubbing/touching.

 

This went on for a few minutes and the ladies dancing on stage then slowly parted and walked in opposite directions to the edge of the stage where the couples were sitting. Each of the dancers picked a lady at the edge of the stage by just reaching out a hand to the lady.  Once again this is totally optional as I think I saw two ladies declined by just nodding.  They got two volunteer ladies up on stage and the two dancers each danced with the wives/girlfriends.  It was, once again very erotic as all four bodies were slowly and seductively touching and fondling.  I saw the two dancers then VERY gently guide the two volunteers to face each other and they (volunteers) began to dance and make out.  The dancers gently guided the volunteers hands up and down the other woman's bodies and it wasn't long before the ladies were really getting into it.

 

Now the interesting part...at least for us.  While the two ladies were dancing and making out on the dance floor the resort dancers then once again went to the perimeter of the stage and reached out their hands to two other women....one of which was my wife! They repeated the process by dancing with my wife and the other new woman.  Now there were now six woman dancing very, very, very seductively on the dance floor. Keep in mind that nearly all are completely nude of very near it. The scene is dark and

 

The resort dancers brought the four dancing wives & girlfriends together in the center of the stage and once again they helped guide hands, asses, arms etc..so the all four women would closely interact.  It was oh, so sensual.  Then, kind of to my surprise but to everyone's applause and enjoyment...the resort dancers gently guided all four women down to lay on the dance floor.  I did not even notice it but at that point the resort dancers left the dance floor.  All that was left were the women on the dance floor making out.  Again, it was not overtly sexual - unless you consider kissing, breast fondling and breast kissing and lots of ass touching overt. The scene was hot...unlike any theme night.  This floor gyrations went on for just a few minutes and then it was over.  The whole thing from start to finish maybe went 8 to 12 minutes - very fast.  I think most people would have liked to see the ladies on the floor go at it a bit more but that was not to be....however, it seemed like a lot of the couples (including us) skipped the remaining disco dancing and went directly to the Playroom behind the bar and went at it.
