We went to Temptation last year and had a blast. We heard about Desire and were considering going there for our next trip... Next question when would be a fun time to go??
We are splitting our trip on our next vacation, 5 nights hard party at Temptation followed by 9 nights at Desire. Desire is more relaxing and has a more liberating atmosphere with the age range far more varied so expect to see couple in their 30's and up. We always go first 2 weeks of January which has now become International Swingers month and it can get very naughty. We have been once in April and it was much busier in both hotels. If you like it non stop party and your serious about the theme nights stick with Temptation, however if you want some sensual relaxation in an environment that will be sensory overload go to Desire or ideally do both.
Hi, Desire has two resorts and they are with 20 mins of each other by taxi with the nearest one about 20 mins from TTR, that’s RM. RM has less than 1/2 the rooms of TTR but nearly double the rooms of Pearl - so RM has much more people and likelihood of party type folks. Desire Pearl has only 88 rooms and is nearest to Puerto Morales and furthest from TTR. Lovely resort and all rooms face the ocean. Weekends are best at both Desire resorts as many folks do short trips at Desire for a type of long weekend holiday vs weeks like at TTR. We recommend start at RM for your first Desire experience. You can always take a taxi to Pearl and do a day pass for their foam party / beach bbq day. It’s no cost for members to do a day pass but you have to pay for the taxi. We go late April and October and they are often sold out. Various lifestyle groups do run arranged travel events to Desire so you can find yourself amongst a busy and social time. August and January are advertised as swinger months at Desire.
Awesome! We were thinking about going mid December or the 2nd week in January! We may try a split trip, TTR was fun but having a few laid back days sounds good too.
We often split our trips between TTR and Desire with our preference is to end at Desire. It’s still fun and sexy but also with more freedom to enjoy a more relaxing atmosphere before returning to a hectic and clothed life.
A really fun time to hit DRM is in later April and the front half of May. Lots of very nice people there, lots of whom are repeaters who are welcoming to a new couple, as we were back in 2011. It's a fun, warm and welcoming (said that already, I know) crowd, full of cool and non-skeevy folks.
ok, very stupid question from a newbie.... what is "RM"? when you suggested it "for your first Desire experience"
Hi @Hoxfan , RM is Desire Riviera Maya. The other Desire resort is Pearl. Both are great but a bit different. They are 20 mins apart from each other by taxi. Pearl has 88 rooms and RM is nearly double I believe. RM has a roof top small hot tub for more people while Pearl has a ground level much large hot tub for less people. RM has some rooms that are garden view while all Pearl room face the ocean.
I was staying at Breathless which is located next door to Desire over this past memorial weekend. I was able to get a day & a night pass at Desire. They said they don't don't normally give out day passes but since i have stayed at TTR several times they were willing to make an exception for us of course for a price. We had a blast! Breathless just got too boring for us. I def want to go back to Desire. Desire is couples only. Temptation all adults are welcome.
I think DRM has 114 rooms (ish) as compared to Pearl's 88. Pearl feels much more spreadh out an open, which means it's sort of hard to get a "party group" feeling going. That pool is Huge for the mount of people in it. Another difference between DRM & DP is that DRM has the excellent (when compared to the storage room which DP uses) nightclub. It gets to be a Real party in there.
