    Desire Pearl £464

    How do you guys decide which one to book?
    Cheers in advance

    We've been to all 3 (Temptation, Desire RM, Desire Pearl) and love them all. Each has wonderful attributes and we were so happy at all three.

    DRM vs DP depends on whom you ask, obviously.

    My take, keeping in mind that both resorts are fantastic:
    DP has better pool
    DP has better jacuzzi
    DP has better rooms/lobby
    DRM has better entertainment but,
    DP entertainment staff more personal (will get to know you)
    DP has less timeshare push
    DRM has better food
    DRM has better activities
    DRM has better disco

    Beach, equal (but fewer vendors/non-guests at DP)
    Staff, equal
    Drinks, equal
    Grounds, equal
    Guests, equal
    Pool chairs, equal

    I think you'll be happy no matter which you pick.

    If it was us we would choose Pearl, as we mostly do to end our trips.

    We've not yet been to Pearl. Sounds as though we ought to look into it!

    We just got back from DRM for the first time. If the budget allows, we will continue to go to Desire over TTR. With TTR costing as much as Desire now, we feel the value is a lot better at Desire than TTR.
