    Another Great Trip

    Tom and I spent a great week at the Pearl in July 2025. Bellman Alex and Vincent took great care of us on our arrival and departure. Mansion butlers Michelle, Irving and Amir pampered us as always and Carlos, Hector and Erik also made themselves available for any additional help. Mayra from housekeeping keeps our room immaculate. The food under chef Ruben and service at the restaurants was top shelf as usual. The staff at Aphrodite, Edilberto, Maryani, Wilbert, Poot, Ray, Manuela, Oliver, Mildred, Joshua and Eduardo, take great care of us each day. Orlando, Jesus, Belen, Gilberto and Isaac are the best at the Pearl and Ceci, Guillermo, Santiago, Manuel and chef Nicolas make eating at Suki a great experience. Chefs Mary and Danny at the Mansion were also terrfifc. The pool is the place to be during the day and Victor, Horatio, Antonio and Miguel do a great job setting you up. The playmakers Candace and Kia keep everyone involved and Yolanda, Gabi, Servando and Monica keep the drinks coming. Groundskeeper Javier is always working around the pool. The bartenders are great multitaskers. This trip we were served by Luis, Jairo, Eddy, Christian, Luis Lopez, Pedro, Manuel, Aaron, Saul, Eduardo, Cobb and Javier. The spa is the place to be pampered and their staff, Elodia, Emma, Gabriel, Gabriela, Guillermo, Jesus, Rebeca, Selene, Taimi, Zazil, Fernando, Melisa, Claudia, Desiree, Alma and Anais never disappoint. It truly is our home away from home!!! Eileen & Tom

    Wonderful

    Another wonderful week at Pearl to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. We love this place. The service at Pearl is far better than anywhere else we have traveled, including Desire RM. We would like to thank the entire staff, especially: Alexis & Vincent (bellmen) Michelle, Carlos, Hector, Irving, Erick (butlers) Kia & Abby (playmakers) Jairo, Luis, and Christian (barmen) May (hostess) Ceci (evening supervisor at Aphrodite; she is amazing) Isaac, Orlando, Gilberto (restaurant servers) Gabi & Servando (pool servers) Victor, Antonio, Miguel, Horacio (pool concierges) Rebeca, Zasil, Emma, Desiree (spa) Camillo & Ivan (mansion housekeeping staff) Alex (DJ) We travel to Pearl in the fall, and RM in the spring. As previously stated, the personalized customer service at Pearl is much better. The food and alcohol is very good at both resorts. The day and night entertainment is very good at both resorts. The other guests at both resorts are super friendly and easy to talk to. The recent upgrades at RM are beautiful. The mansion rooms, the penthouses, and the master suites at Pearl are beautiful. Most of all, this resort is about sharing a week of fun and passion with your partner. If you have never been to the Desire properties, we recommend splitting the week, with 4 days at Pearl and 3 days at RM (or vice versa), to see and experience both. It does not matter what you look like. It does not matter what your age is. It does not matter if you want to stay fully clothed or fully unclothed. It does not matter if you want to engage only with your partner or if you want to engage with others. Try it. You will not regret it.

    Paradise!

    We had another amazing vacation. The new bar/show area/stage is so beautiful and roomy. The rooms are wonderful as always, and the staff who goes over and above. The food is very good. Everyone including the staff and guests are so friendly. The awesome play makers are the best! These include Mat, Kia, JJ, Jess, Aby, and Tristan. Love them all!

    Not much to be desired.

    The rooms are a bit outdated as is their service. The pool was not very clean and the food was mediocre. You spend most of your time at the pool because the beach was not accessible. The Spa staff walks around the pool most of the day asking for you to get a spa treatment and then the Premier staff come around to try to convince you to buy into their plan. Bracelets are given to you color coded so everyone familiar with colors knows if you’re a 1st timer, been there before, member or mansion owner. People tend to be a bit snobbish and the theme nights and shows are just Ok. We have been to Grand Lido, Caliente, Paradise Lakes and Cap d’agde just to name a few so we know the difference. It left us with no desire whatsoever to return. When we go on vacation we want to be free to do as we wish not have to tell anyone at least 6 times a day “no thank you not interested”. Wasn’t as much fun as we expected.
