The Barcelo is really a non-issue for most people, I have not talked to anyone that was bothered by the resort. They do not do anything specific for the Desire Week but we rarely see any guests from the Barcelo looking at all the fun that they are missing during the Desire Week. The jacuzzi is open after the disco, not sure how late. If you haven't been there since the change, the resort built a wood structure at the jacuzzi that blocks the view from anyone looking at the resort from the Barcelo.
good questions... The neighboring hotel was just one reason they changed to TTR. They constructed a large bamboo-style overhang at the jacuzzi for privacy. It looks nice and works perfectly for what it was intended for. The pool can still be seen by a section of the Barcello, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. It gives those folks a reason to wish they were at Desire. The jacuzzi stayed open very late during Desire weeks. We left there at 3:30-4:00 a.m. a couple of nights and there were still people there relaxing. The bar there did close around 2:00 most nights. The Melange is open until 6:00 a.m.
Thanks for the answers everyone! I just booked us for all nights of the May 2012 Desire Week. Hopefully, there are no snags with hubby's vacation days. Can't wait to be back in Cabo. :clappyinghappy:
Could we have the dates of the Desire Week, please. And could someone confirm that it is a nude week or clothing optional. Neither both us as we are nudist and looking for a nude week without going to Desires. Thanks all. Some great reports that may convince us to change from TTR Cancun. Kev and Di: The Aussies
The week I know of is May 2-9, 2012. I think you would consider it clothing optional. Nudity allowed (these weeks only) but not required. I believe clothing in required in the restaurants and public areas. I have not been during a "Desire Week" but went several times before the change to Temptation.
Outsiders? I have seen somewhere on the forum that on Friday nights outsiders are allowed in for the party at the hot tub. I assume outsiders are NOT allowed when the resort is doing a Desire Week. Is that assumption correct?
You are correct, SG. No outsiders for Desire week. Get ready for the time of your lives...just under five months.
When we were at the Desire week last May 2011, it seemed like they allowed outsiders in to the jacuzzi area on the weekend. However, in the Oct/Nov trip, the jacuzzi club 360 or whatever it is called was not open during the Desire week. Aussies- we would love to see you there- my husband loves that Aussie accent! We have been to two Desire weeks and have booked for May already. Don and Patty
Nice to hear DnP. We are trying to plan and go with TTR Cancun Repeaters form Allybammie. Still not sure if we can all link up, but as we love nude resorts we are trying. Hope to go to LV after. Kev and Di
