OK, after reading the previous couple of reviews, I feel compelled to add my two cents. My husband and I stayed at Desire for four nights last November and loved it so much we are looking forward to returning. For the record, we have never “swung” and it was the first time we had ever gone to a clothing-optional place... More

Ok, where to begin. Not my idea of a dream vacation, but the spouse wanted to go and was his turn sooo. Have been to Mexico many times and other than the shake-downs by the traffic cops(common occurance, write down their name, badge # and tell them you are complaining to the US Embassy, usually they will back off. You... More

We have just returned from our second visit to Desire and again we had a fantastic time. The food and service once more was awesome in all the restaurants, in fact that was the case all over the resort. We were given a garden view room this time which we expected but it was very small and as we had... More

We were at Desire in Cancun February 11-15, 2011 for our 18th wedding anniversary. This was our first time at Desire. We stayed in an ocean view Jacuzzi Suite with butler service. It had lots of room and was only 10 steps from the beach. But there were no dressers in the rooms, so it was hard to unpack properly.... More

In brief, I was seriously grossed out by the conditions at Desire, so much so that we much rather preferred to lose all of our money rather than to stay. The pervasive smell of sewage and blatantly unsanitary room and food conditions were concerning for health risks. I cannot comment on the swimming pool as I was too disgusted to... More

This was our first trip to Desire. We chose it since they closed Hedo3. Beautiful place, amazing service. This is a small resort, onlly 110 rooms or so, so book early, don't expect to find a last minute deal. Beach is small with a breaker wall in the ocean that prevents the waves from causing further erosion. If you go... More

This is an all inclusive hotel with an excellent choice in food and range of activity. The location is distant from the Hotel Zone of Cancun and the fishing village of Puerto Morelos yet has quiet, neighboring hotels sharing the beach, so not too isolated. You do not need to leave the hotel for anything unless you want to take... More

We decided to kill two birds with one stone in choosing desire; my hubby can get to the dive shop within 15 minutes of Desire and I can stay and get some sun and sand while I waited. You cannot find more solicitious and friendly staff than those at this resort. They make sure that your glass is filled, you... More

This was our third visit to Desire in 14 months. We have stayed a minimum of 7 days per visit and as long as 9. We have visited in the heat of the summer, late fall and winter. Every visit has been phenomenal. Let me say that regardless of your lifestyle preferences, the atmosphere, people and surrounding of this resort... More

We have been to Desire two times now and can't wait to go back in August. We have been in the lifestyle for at least 4 years now. We stayed in the Passion Suites both times and would not recommend staying in anything less. The rooms are very expensive but worth it. Remember you are paying for the atmosphere so... More
