How is TTR if you ask for a day pass at Desire? I'd like to try it sometime, but it's very expensive particularly if I've paid for a full stay at TTR. I'd love to try it out for a day.
I would strongly recommend just booking two nights. Yeah you can get a day pass thru some hard negotiation or thru attending the sales presentation (although sometimes they don’t offer them as Wayne has mentioned on previous threads due to takeovers or capacity) but you end up missing most of the fun. I think you have to leave around 6. The day is pretty chill with the fun starting at the jacuzzi around 5ish. I can’t imagine the trip being worth it if right when the real fun is starting up you have to leave. Then later it gets even better w more intense theme nights, disco fun and late night jacuzzi fun. It is worth just booking the nights. Like TTR there are many ways to escape if it is too much for you. For example the beach is awesome was some really cool beach beds.
And the trip reports mentioned above... First a TTR to Desire Pearl comparison then a comparison to Desire RM. of course this was pre renos at TTR but I think much still applies. We love both TTR and Desire but for different reasons. Really depends on your interests to determine the best fit. But if it is about taking a first step into this adult world then I would start with ttr. Baby steps is not a bad thing.

Personally, I don't get why people want to do a day pass to either Desire property other than some voyeuristic satisfaction. Here's what you will get out of it for spending 90+ minutes of Temptation time going thru the sales presentation plus $100 usd on round trip taxis and a day away from the party at Temptation: - you will have to opportunity to see others naked and to be naked around the pool and beach - you will have to opportunity to possibly observe and participate as a couple in PDA/PDS at the Jacuzzi area later in the day Here's what your not going to get: - any sense of what Desire is really like - you will have to leave(by about 6pm) just as the the real Desire party is starting to ramp up. - those that are staying at Desire will be friendly to you but are not going to invest any time in you since they know you will be gone by 6pm.
We plan on a day pass to RM in November just to check out the property to see what we think VS Pearl. Oh...and we like being naked.
Lol. We're members and we have Pearl booked the end of November. No presentation and I'll gladly pay the cab fare
Only reason I can think of is the potential visitor is very nervous about being in an environment that makes them uncomfortable. It doesn’t make sense to most who have been there as they know the hanky panky mostly occurs at the jacuzzi, play room and privacy of personal rooms resulting in it being very easy to avoid if you so choose. I think the other assumption is that just because it is clothing optional that results in more pressure to do something you don’t want to do. And that, as people who have been there know, is furthest from the truth. But if you have never been people worry about the worst case scenario. Thankfully it isn’t reality. Worst case in my opinion is if the openness and nakedness is too much for you then you hang on a private bed on the beach. Enjoy time together at dinner. Go to the shows. And just don’t go where the ‘action’ happens. I equate this to those who maybe TTR was too much they go to the beach or the quiet pool. At Desire the escape alternative is a way better alternative with a very nice beach, beach beds and more romantic dinner options for you and your significant other to connect. Again, I feel like I need to say this these days, this isn’t a TTR bash, this is simply us trying to remove the misconceptions about desire. We love them both for different reasons.
Kyle, the question at hand was "those actively seeking out a day pass to Desire" - obviously in that case their voyeuristic side outweighs the part that makes them nervous about being in an environment that makes them uncomfortable Overall the common consensus that I've heard from literally 1000's of couples that have been to Desire and try to explain to a newbie that has never been is simply," you won't understand what Desire is about until after you have stayed there for a couple of days " - which btw, I also agree with
