Jerry & Liz - June, 2010

June 2010 – Trip Report

 

Greetings everyone.  We are Liz and Jerry and we just returned from Desire Cancun.   This was our second trip and our stay was June 15 – 20,  2010.  Overall, the trip was fantastic!  We loved meeting new friends. We booked through Denny P. and we are so glad we did!  Thanks Denny!

 

We actually arrived in Cancun on June 14 and stayed at the Marriott Hotel on the beach.  What a fantastic hotel this is.  Long wide beaches and a gigantic pool.  A great place to stay.  Upon arrival at the Cancun Airport we easily went through customs.  After getting our luggage we proceeded to exit the airport where we were assaulted by the “blue shirt” guys and a host of other cabbies wanting our business. Tip for newbies to Cancun: Completely ignore  the blue shirt guys that come up to you and ask you where you are going.  They are there to sell you on something.  Just keep on walking past them.  The same applies to Cab Drivers. They will be very aggressive! Cabs don’t run on meters and they charge you whatever you negotiate.  It is best if the travel company you booked with provides you with a voucher for a ride to/from Desire.  In this case you will exit the airport and a cabbie will be holding a sign with your name.

 

We arrived at Desire at around noon on Tuesday.  Check –in was smooth and we enjoyed the cool hand towel and drink.  We were assigned room  1007 and as soon as we arrived in the room we knew that it was unacceptable.  Normally we don’t care a wit about our room.  But this particular room – and those few next to it opened to the OUTSIDE of the resort on the entry road.  This meant that we had to enter and exit our room fully clothed and make a short trip down a path, through a gate before we were “in Desire”.  We asked for and got transferred to another garden view room.  1007 by the way is not “Garden View” – it is “Entry Street View”. Management should charge less to rent these rooms in our opinion.

 

At about 1 PM we went to the Pool, easily got a pool bed in the shade and then headed over for lunch.  We then spent a few hours in the pool where we immediately met at least ½ dozen couples  - great people!!  That is the great thing about Desire!

 

We relaxed for a few hours then about 6 PM we headed up to the Jacuzzi for a drink and soak.  The Jacuzzi was rather hot.  So much so, that we could only stay in it for a little while.  The last two days the temperature moderated and we could stay in much longer.  The people at the Jacuzzi were great and the bartenders kept us supplied often with drinks.  It appeared that there were more “top shelf” brands to choose from.  A big shout out to Joel at the Jacuzzi bar for a job well done!  As dusk arrived my wife and I decided to spend some “quality time” on one of the Jacuzzi beds…side-by-side with others on the beds.  What a romantic/hot atmosphere!

Big complaint here:  The bed mattresses in the Jacuzzi are in desperate need of replacement.  It felt like making love on the concrete.

 

We had a great dinner in the main café. We then headed back to the lobby area to chat and watch the beautiful ladies get their bodies painted.  Where else can one kick back with a drink and watch naked ladies get painted!?

 

There was entertainment every night in the Lobby Area before the Disco opened and – we have to say – the entertainment was TOP NOTCH!  We enjoyed every night a lot.  While we were there it appeared that there was a couple that had a hard time holding their alcohol and who enjoyed sexually displaying themselves at what seemed  like inappropriate times (Yes, even at Desire there is a time and a place)  – but thankfully it was only for one night that we saw.  Those of you who were there know what I am talking about.

 

The theme nights were great – although it appeared that only about 50% of the people participated.  But all is cool at Desire.  Eyes Wide Shut is a little more daring this year compared to last year – but it too was a blast.  The music in the disco is a VAST improvement over last year!!!  I can’t say this enough!  My wife and I danced a lot because the music was finally danceable.

 

The Disco and Playroom or “Sin Room”.   Previous Desire guest will have a hard time recognizing the new Disco. What an incredible improvement.  It is now a “classy” club type atmosphere with a lighted dancing floor, beds and tables everywhere and a big circular bar at the end where the old playroom was.  The “Sin” room is all class!  My wife did not like the old playroom as it looked and smelled like the basement of a dingy adult book store.  The new Sin  room is classy. Dimly lit but enough light, very comfortable beds for 2, 3 or moresomes.  And best of all is the new “sex swing”.  My wife and I are now convinced that we MUST get a sex swing at home!  Don’t pass up this gem if you get to Desire.  If you are shy, try going up to the Disco as soon as it opens when nobody is around yet.   Our only complaint about the “sin” room is the loudness of the people coming into the room and forgetting to close the door to the loud Disco area.  People – listen up – when you decide to go into the Sin room please lower your voices a little, at least below shouting level.

 

General opinion on things:

 

Staff:  Great and very attentive.  They  work hard to make your stay pleasant

Beach beds/Pool Beds:  We got a beach bed each morning and a pool bed each afternoon.  No problems.  And I believe the resort was at full capacity.

Booze:  Great selections…better drinks this time around

Games/Entertainment: Hot – Hot – Hot! Body shots, jello shots, pool games nightly entertainment…all great and top notch!

Food: Seemed to be an improvement over last year.  All very good.  The “Steak and Lobster” in the fancy restaurant was incredible.  Only $40 for a 2lb lobster tail and a large filet.  A great deal.   Matilda makes the best breakfast omelets.

Rooms:  Simple and sparse..Not ENOUGH power outlets.  But hey, you are only in your room for sleep and sex. Occasionally the Key cards would not function..don’t know what wa sup with that.  Wireless internet did not reach the rooms.  We had to go to Lobby area for that.  This could be an area for improvement

People:  The best part about Desire is the people you meet.  You know who you are!  I would encourage anyone considering a Desire Vacation to go.  It is so easy to meet people even if you are shy.

 

There is a lot more we could write about but we will leave it for a later time.  It was a great vacation and we look forward to being at Desire next year!
