    Hi friends,

    We have been to TTR many times and have the day memorized but we are headed to DRM in November and was wondering if it was different. Other than the nude part. What is the timeline of the typical day?

    TTR is wake up, save a chair, breakfast, maybe gym then pool till the afternoon unless it’s cold. Hot tub till 5 or so then SNAP and get dressed for dinner. DRM the same?

    We will be traveling from Temptation to DRM so we are hoping for something a bit different.

    cheers

    D&J

    You will have a blast! We had been going to TTR for a few years and tried DRM in March '22. We went back in June on a split trip with TTR that was originally a whole TTR trip.

    No single dudes or packs of dudes and no cameras. Couples only. There are less people, so most guests are at least a familiar face after a couple days. Negatives...the rooms, although not as bad as we had prepared ourselves for, need updating (it's in the works). The food is about the same as TTR, maybe better. Service is a bit better. The gym is small.

    Get up around 6:45 and head to the pool to see Danny and get a spot for the day. Return to the room and sleep a couple more hours, if so inclined. Then gym/breakfast or a combination.

    By 10 am to 11 am there are guests lounging around the pool. A few get in it. There are silly games like TTR, but not as many. The music is not as loud.

    Around 4-5 there is a steady migration up to the roof top jacuzzi. But by 7 it's pretty empty as guests are going out to dinner.

    After dinner there is a show in the courtyard and most nights have a live band for dancing until about 11 pm. There is then a migration to the Disco.

    The disco starts to thin out after 1 am. Then it's off to the roof top jacuzzi for more drinks and socializing for many of the guests. The courtyard bar stays open late and starts serving pizza and BLTs. It's a relaxed atmosphere.

    We are usually back in our room by 3-4 a.m. We get much less sleep at DRM than TTR.

    Theme participation is much higher, and anything goes.

    Perfect Tks for the rundown, it has a similar schedule of events.

    We are excited to try DRM as some people say it’s better than TTR and for the price it should be.

    Not a schedule question but we are going TTR to Desire as well. Will Desiré pick you up at TTR? If not or don’t know, who you using to get to Desire? Thanks

    We did a split trip In June and used USA Transfers for all three legs (airport to DRM to TTR to Airport). I think it was around $125 for all three transfers. The hotel may do it but it might be more $$$ because they will just schedule a transit company and take some money for that service.

    We did split trip as well. From Desire to TTR with USA Transfers was somewhere around 50.00. Booked through Steve so he paid to and from airport from both resorts.

    We tried that too, and couldn’t get the the free trip from resort to resort that was advertised. They said Steve needed to give us an order number, and we don’t know how to get that. The links on his thread don’t work anymore.
