    Can’t wait to come back!!!

    Our first visit to RM was quite different from our previous stay at Desire Miches. Right off the bat, it felt less upscale compared to Miches, which was a bit disappointing since we enjoy a touch of luxury on our vacations. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were placed in what seemed like the least desirable room in the resort—Room 1011. It faced the trash area, had a sewage smell, and we struggled with no hot water. When we approached the front desk, they mentioned they were fully booked but could move us on the second day. They were very nice about it, and I’m sure would have moved us immediately if they could have. Honestly, the base rooms here felt more like something you’d find at the Red Roof Inn. I highly recommend upgrading if room quality is a priority for you. On a brighter note, the staff were fantastic! A shoutout to Jenny, the bartender at the beach bar—she really brought energy to our trip. We also had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Ruben, who was incredible. Ask for him specifically! He made us look like models, and I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw the photos. I also had hair and makeup done, and they did a wonderful job. We didn’t spend much time at the large pool since it was hard to find a chair, but the quiet pool was awesome, and Ivan, the bartender there, was attentive and friendly. As for the food, it was just average with the exception of Suki has a Rock Shrimp that is to die for. The coffee is also great at Addiction and there is a sweet barista named Edgar we really liked. All things considered, we had a great trip and are already planning to come back. We're even considering a timeshare, as this might become our go-to vacation spot in the future. I want to to be clear, we aren’t swingers, it’s just nice to be at a place like this because the people are open minded and friendly. If you are on the fence, just give it a try!

    Fun 1st Time

    Amazing 1st time experience from start to finish. The property is beautiful. Food was delicious. Staff was fantastic (special shout-out to Aaron, Axel, Africa, Israel)! Even without the benefit of the clothing optional part, this would be a world class all inclusive experience. Can’t wait to go back!

    Best Vacation Ever!

    You will not regret booking at Desire RM. I don't think l've ever had that much fun. The resort is kept very clean, the staff are amazing, the food is insanely delicious, and the events and entertainment blew me away. Really great dining options as well. I went to the buffet everyday at lunch and loved that they changed what was served everyday. I booked a table with the hibachi chef and had the best time ever. Jesús was hilarious and I recommend trying the hibachi out. I felt so free and accepted at Desire. Everyone who works there are so friendly - Aura, Angie, Jesús, Vanessa, Rosy, Arely, Ulry-and everyone else really made my stay very comfortable and easy. Huge shout out to Jorge, one of the best staff members there who serves the late night party goers until 4am. I love that this resort has food available after midnight. The Playmakers were so much fun and did such a good job at getting everyone involved in activities and on the dance floor - Bella, Pina, Mariana, Bam bam, Leyda - thank you so much for making my stay so memorable! You guys rocked!! I will definitely be back!

    Not as expected

    Our garden view was facing a huge dumpster that smelled terrible! Couldn’t even sit outside on our balcony to enjoy “fresh air”. Regular beer would not always be available by the pool. Reservations for restaurants would be full way before noon. Even with a reservation and phone confirmation/proof it was not honored. Was told if you’re a premier member it wouldn’t have been a problem at all. Main pool closes at 7pm so people could go to the hot tub. I would have rather stayed in the pool so we passed on the hot tub. We were told by many guests/workers that with the expansion of the place other things/areas have really gone downhill. We’re glad we didn’t know how it was before to not be as disappointed as our friends we went with who were. The only “GOOD” thing about this place was our company and the Playmakers! They had us looking forward to the games/entertainment! Mariana, Leyda, Bam Bam, Piña, Bella and DJ Leo rocked!!! Eduardo an Axel were also very friendly and made sure our cups stayed filled. We were told we’d get the chance to rate our stay at check out but we weren’t given that option.

    Best Resort Yet.

    This was our first time and will most certainly not be our last. We are already trying to figure out how to get back to 'home' as we've started calling it. As there is no place like this place. It's like another world. It is so comfortable, accepting and natural. From the extraordinary staff, to the incredible resort facilities to the most delicious foods. They know how to serve you and keep you satisfied the whole time. And don't get us started about the exotic massage. It is a must try and completely satisfying for both. The playmakers will bring out the fun and leave everyone cheering for more! Bam Bam and Mariana were my absolute favorites, I couldn't get enough of their smiles! The coffee shop with Elizabeth is extraordinary and I couldn't get enough of her iced Caramel macchiato's! Ivan and Axel were always so helpful at the front desk with every inquiry. The beach is not the greatest but as a beach lover it wasn't even that big of a deal as the staff and people there made up for it!
