DRM March 27th to April 3rd
We went to Desire RM for the first time to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was everything we hoped for and more. We have been nudists (not swingers) since 2007. We wish we had started earlier. In 2014, we went to Hidden Beach Resort and had a great time. The staff and guests were wonderful as was the resort. However, no PDA was allowed including kissing and putting suntan lotion on each other. So we checked out the options via the Adult Travel Forum and Castaways travel website. HBR’s night life (dancing, etc) was over by 8pm. We wanted a place where we could dance and feel comfortable with our PDA’s, so we picked DRM. It was a great choice. What surprised us about DRM was that the guests wore clothes of some type more than HBR. The Desires are clothing optional. So, despite the fact that DRM is lifestyle friendly, many guests of both sexes wore clothes of some type around the resort and even at the pool. We were nude except at meals and during theme nights. So, what everybody else did, didn’t affect us negatively.
Castaways arrangements went flawlessly. Thanks all!
Ground Transportation: Great! Easy to find after getting our luggage. We were the only ones in the vehicle by Castaways design. Thanks again.
Check-in went quickly except for the high pressure sales pitch to buy what amounts to a time share. We only went through it for the coupon book, which was well worth 45 minutes of our time. Our room was exactly what we requested. Quite room, king size bed on the ground floor. It was nice, but not as large and big at HBR. No problem for us.
The Staff: Fantastic! Eager to please, kind and competent. The food was gourmet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of choice, all good ones.
The pool: was great too and just the right temperature. We didn’t want to get burnt so we were able to find a shaded spot every day. It was location #56. It wasn’t a bed nor a lounger per se, but more of a big basket. I forget what the actual name was. Silvia was the hardest working bar server we ever met.
The beach: was smaller than we hoped and it was seaweed season, so they resort had a John Deere tractor going up and down the beach for hours. It was windy, but not enough we couldn’t lie in the beach beds if we wanted to. We decided to stay at the pool since that’s where most of the guests hung out. Lots of empty beach beds to choose from at the beach.
The restaurants. All were great, but we went to El Arrecife for breakfast and dinner except one dinner. One evening we went to Sahlo’, which requires reservations and also requires men wear dress shirts, dress pants and shoes. The women are required to wear dresses or pants suits. More formal. You ordered a la carte off a good menu. We liked it but preferred El Arrecife buffet style which had a tremendous amount of great gourmet food on a buffet, from fruits and salads, main courses to desserts. Lunch was poolside at Tentazione. Very good.
The EC’s: During the day and night there was always something fun to participate in or watch. During the day the pool had different fun activities off and on, not too much, just right. Not volley ball all day. At night there were excellent bands playing different types of music. And if you could stay up past 11pm, there’s always the disco. Several nights the staff or outside entertainers performed. All talented.
The Theme nights: I would say most guests showed up but only about 50 % wore the theme night attire. A fun time. Some guests really spent a lot of effort and money on theme nights, others, like us put some effort and a little money into the outfits. For the women, anything sexy worked. For the men, it was a challenge.
Demographics: Mostly 40 to 55 I’m guessing. Our age group, about 10 %. Americans, Canadians, Germans, Swiss, Russian, Hispanic, French.
Jacuzzi lounge: What happens at Desire, stays at Desire. :kiss::sex:
Claudia: Wow! The couples massage was, well, off the charts. It was as advertised and more. PM me for details.::lucky:
Desire Pearl visit: We received a day pass for Desire Pearl from our coupon book avoiding the $150 fee. We are going to Desire Pearl next time. Bigger rooms, bigger pool, bigger Jacuzzi, bigger beach and it had a pier that probably 200 yards long. Same theme nights and activities. Can’t wait!
