Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort All Inclusive - Couples Only

Everything was great except for the sargassum. Puerto Morelos is able to keep it clean and at Desire there is no real attempt. The smell was horrible, taking away from an otherwise perfect beach vacation.

Our most favorite place to go. Hands down best staff and always meet the nicest couples. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

I have been in Tentation hotel but this was an unique experience. We do not practice the free life or being swingers but we enjoyed the stay in Desire Pearl. People were friendly and they respect us. We made friends and met people from other countries and usa states. Vincent the Bell Boy super attentive.. Victor in the pool was super nice with accommodations. The playmaker team Felix, Edward and the Venezuelan girl gave the extra mile . We really had a good time .

Staff, food and rooms were very good. The grounds were well kept and was overall a beautiful layout. Couple tips: they right off the bat are going to want to pitch a “members” program to you, go ahead and kill and hour listening and enjoying a good drink and then politely decline. There are no real benefits to the membership and it’s insanely expensive but you get a voucher for a couple hundred dollars to use so it’s worth it for that. The shows are fairly good for a smaller venue but get a bit repetitive, after the 3rd night we just skipped it and enjoyed the jacuzzi while it was still quiet and relaxing because after the show then it fills up with a bunch of drunk people. It’s couples only so the creep factor is low so that’s a positive. Overall it’s a nice place to go and spend a few days, if you’re looking for a party atmosphere then you might be disappointed though it was much livelier than we like but it definitely wasn’t a calm relaxed place either. From people we talked to you either love it or hate it, personally I’m in the middle. I’ll definitely go again but wouldn’t be hurt if it wasn’t for a couple years. So if you’re looking for a place to lay out in the sun next to a beautiful pool and have some well made drinks and eat some good food definitely visit. If you’re looking for all that on a budget then you might want to look elsewhere. I give it a 7 out of 10.
