Just returned this afternoon from one of the most enjpyable vacations to date. We have traveled to both Hedo's, and a few other clothing optional resorts, and will definatly return to Desire. The resort while small, was intimate with each of the staff ever attentive to our needs (at times they knew what we may want before we did). Mindy,... More

Incredible staff, entertainment & hospitality. The only resort in which you will never meet a stranger. Lots of fun & excitement from the minute you check in, until the moment the cab takes you too the airport. Not for the faint of heart, definitely for open-minded adults! We first started vacationing at Desire in 2003 when the resort was only... More

My wife and I just returned from a five day stay at Desire. We had a great time there. Before I go any further with this though, let me say for the record that contrary to a recent review, we did not once encounter any "sewage smell", encounter any unsanitary conditions or observe any thuggish men on the property. Now... More

This was our first visit to Desire, having been to other lifestyle resorts like Hedo, Cap d’Agde, Leucate and Spice etc. The staff were great – but few spoke English over and above a few standard phrases. The check-in and reception staff had difficulty distinguishing between American and British English e.g. first floor meant second floor (actually Floor 2) and... More

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
