Nice and new but still some things to improve, Grand Residences Riviera Cancun, a Registry Collection Hotel. Youll find a large jacuzzi with a swim up bar on one side with in water stools and some seating on the inside of the jacuzzi rim. Having traveled to and loving Hidden Beach and Hedo, we thought wed try something new. Our friends said that for the big crowd the week before they also had a great buffet open all week long. Both were excellent and gave us the opportunity to experience a little more of Mexico. I know they existed, new friends of ours, also there for the first time, had a great room with an ocean view and 6 person Jacuzzi tub! Lots and lots of beach beds. The services are top notch and the same at each resort. more, You seem to have JavaScript disabled. We have been to all 3 resorts. At RM, there is a big central lobby bar where people often sit, chat to each other and make eye contact across the bar! and Wow!We had a SPECTACULAR week.don't think we could ask for anything better!!! We have been to Desire Riviera Maya twice before, but this time we booked a few days in each property. You can escape and have quiet time in the pool. I know that everyone try to compare both sites; Pearl has better rooms, food, jacuzzi, and pool. We preferred sunbeds at the quiet end of the pool, but equally could have gone for the beach or the end of the pool where the entertainment happens. They were so hungry for some crazy fun and couldnt find it at Pearl. Both have exceptional service, good restaurants and bars and most of all a really nice clientele of friendly . The one exception that I will offer is in regards to billing, read on for more.We had our first negative experience. Kind Regards. Desire is more upscale and relaxed, discreet and sensual. If you go right on the beach you will end in Puerto Morales, if you to left, you end up walking past numerous resorts.

This jacuzzi is an excellent alternative to the large jacuzzi for late night sex. menus with items at additional cost), tip jars were very much in evidence and the Premier scheme was pushed very hard. At Pearl it was a slightly older crowd, and there was some emphasis on flashing your cash. Cici who makes my BLTs at 2 in the morning. The food was as great as always and all the wait staff. The pool is much more beautiful. Again, need more staff and training at the casual restaurant. One of our hot couples that came with us to Pearl had spent the prior week at Pearl with a lifestyle takeover event. We do see more resort takeovers at RM, but we credit that to the gazebo and large disco for classes and meet-ups. Nevertheless for livestyle people, Pearl is really lagging behind : the "sin room" is empty as really badly situated in the disco, too few beds around the jacuzzi. The huge hot tub and pool make it easy to either escape the craziness or get right in the middle.5. The beach area is divine. The bar is swim up only with water stools. Dee Dee deserves an Emmy or Golden Globe award. Also the restaurants are nicer and more diverse at Riviera Maya ; at Pearl, only 2 restaurants, with no real atmosphere, specially the "luxury" one which is very cold.For the night activities, both resorts are comparable. We like both but are partial to the original Desire. Oh, forgot to mention that the entertainment staff, Inga, Raquel, Javier and others are very nice and great fun! It seemed to be a good deal if you see yourself coming here a couple of times per year, but we passed on it. With that said there are people there with a purpose, but once you make it clear you aren't part of the lifestyle they are very cool with you. Desire is the happiest place on earth. Such a laugh! But having just one restaurant would get tiring after a while. Even the pool staff were short on contestants, tough crowd this time around. It's definitely a no pressure environment. Butlers bring drinks. RM has a rooftop jacuzzi which does mean a stair climb to the 3rd floor. Desire Riviera Maya VS Desire Pearl - It All Comes Down to the People - Life on the Swingset During our week visit to Cancun this year, we hit a bit of the mid-week doldrums. The entertainment is classier at Pearl, with a professional dance troupe most nights. The hot tub was about half the size it needs to be and no music there to enjoy either. Kind Regards. Leave inhibitions behind. Also prefer RM's restaurants and like the fact its luncheon restaurant is outside. Lovely grounds, larger rooms with private balconies (although hot water was a challenge), and an overall sense of relaxation was found at Pearl. The bar in jacuzzi was great and we enjoyed the really hot water. Review collected in partnership with this hotel. Thankfully we brought the party with us!

Having traveled to and loving Hidden Beach and Hedo, we thought wed try something new. It was one of the most relaxing vacations weve had. There was a lot of upselling (e.g. There is still the element of upselling, but it was a lot more relaxed at RM - the options exist but there is less expectation that you will take them up.So - for a beautiful, upscale resort with good quality rooms, facilities, food and entertainment, Pearl wins. All the sunbeds are super comfy at Pearl, whereas at RM many of them are rather basic unless you want a shaded beach bed. This will not keep us from coming back but we do hope some improvements are made. Being naked around the pool was actually quite relaxing and you almost forget the people you are interacting with are naked. Our first time at Desire Pearl, we ve been to the RM about 6 times.

Otherwise there's not much they can improve on, it is a great resort with a great theme and excellent entertainment and room to dance. Only about half of the women dressed very sexy and to the theme and only very very few men did (still many more than in RM).

To me I like to see them there and to give it a try, its good for business if they get the courage up, and they are outnumbered regardless, not a con for me, but maybe to some.Bugs are bad at night, be sure to bring repellent if you plan to be out around the lobby bar or at the hot tub bar, if your in the hot tub its not a problem.Beach is dirty water if the waves are big enough and not that great even when it is clear as there are patches of seaweed that keep you from going too deep.Beach chairs were in bad condition but rarely used anyway.Dynamic at these resorts is hit and miss, kinda a quiet trip.

The rooms are way bigger and better appointed at Pearl than RM (the rooms at RM had felt luxurious until we went to Pearl). Which is best? RM has about 120 rooms.

Desire is more open then pearl but as far as hendo goes I have never been there but I talked to some ppl who have been to both most preferred desire and as far as a orgy goes that's not a problem you just have to mingle with everyone especially if a large group is there together they always have group play. Bigger is not always better - the hot tub at RM may be smaller and packed, but that leads to meeting a lot more people than at Pearl where there is room for everyone to have their own space.

Pool bar is in the shade which could be a good or bad thing, nice when the sun got too hot.Very nice restaurants, nice open feel to the grill and pool bar area and the birds are not bothersome here as they are at other resorts, not sure why but nothing bothered anyone while eating outside unless you were on the beach with food. We loved the water volleyball and enjoyed the windsurfing and sailing.Evening activities: Again, at first we were a little apprehensive, but as the week progressed, we joined in more; dressing up for the theme nights and joining in the evening games! Neither resort is better than the other they are just different. Desire Pearl - A Side-By-Side Comparison This is our effort to honestly compare the two and help find the right one for you. Your comments have been taken on board and will help to improve. For a place so liberal, we found many rules at RM restricting smoking and eating poolside, and the nightclub was less than impressive with an incredibly dangerous staircase to climb to enter, lackluster DJ tunes, and a heat surge in the club not conducive to play while dancing. Hidden beach is a good drive from the airport, beach had tiny shells everywhere making it hard to walk, one restaurant on property, and you were approached everyday on the resort by the spa staff wanting to know if you wanted a massage. This place is dead! So dead in fact that we brought one couple back to our resort with us. Both pools have swim up bars.
