Apr 01, 2025Great time. Get rid of inhibitions!
Review for Desire Riviera Maya Our experience at Desire Riviera Maya was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming, vibrant, and full of energy. The mix of nude and dressed guests created a relaxed and accepting environment where everyone could feel comfortable at their own pace. The pool area was fantastic—always lively, with great music and an upbeat vibe. Whether you wanted to lounge and soak up the sun or jump into the fun, there was something for everyone. The theme nights were a highlight, with some guests fully embracing the dress-up themes while others enjoyed just watching the creative outfits and fun interactions. My favorite entertainer was Bella and pool server Axel. Our room was comfortable, with a beautiful ocean view that made waking up each morning a pleasure. The food was good—not amazing—but there was always something to enjoy, and we never went hungry. The spa was incredible! We participated in a sensual massage with Tere, and it was absolutely amazing. My husband and I both fully enjoyed the experience—it was intimate, relaxing, and a perfect addition to our stay. And, of course, the jacuzzi area—where the magic happens outside of the playroom! It’s a social and sensual hotspot where people mingle, connect, and enjoy adult fun in an open, respectful, and exciting atmosphere. The staff was exceptional, always friendly, attentive, and professional, making sure our trip was unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique, liberating, and fun getaway, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

FIRST TIMERS!
First timers, never been to anything even close to this resort. Best time EVER! We stayed at Pearl, king ocean view. Amazing room, service by all staff the entire time we were there was impeccable! Never experienced room service that was so quick and attentive. All staff, from the lobby to room to pool to FANTASTIC shows went above and beyond our expectations. We're already booking our next vaca with Pearl!

First timers
This place is really something. It feels very luxurious upon arrival and that continues throughout. Restaurants are posh and fantastic. The pool and hot tub are the perfect temperature especially if you’re strutting around in your birthday suit. The grounds really lean into the Eden theme with lots of greenery and flowers blooming. I highly recommend visiting Julio in the spa for a massage, He knows what he’s doing. After a late night dancing and in the hot tub, a massage with Julio is a must. If you’re a prude or alternatively a creep, stay home this place isn’t for you, but if you’re open minded and looking to relax in a sexy atmosphere or reconnect with your partner, this is it.

A Must Go To Place
We absolutely love it here. We arrived early in the morning, so our room wasn’t ready yet, but our requests for extra blankets and hangers were promptly fulfilled when we were able to get into our room. This is our second visit since the expansion, and we’ve been to Desires more than 40 times. Over the years, we started with 5-night stays, gradually increasing to 10, sometimes even 12 nights. Since we work remotely, we try to leave the room by noon. The expansion is modern and nice, but it does change the vibe. We miss the quaint, intimate atmosphere that existed before the expansion. The old lobby bar is now a coffee bar offering a wide variety of coffee flavors. Elizabeth is awesome! A nice touch is the addition of bagels, light sandwiches, and fruit. We also enjoyed the “quiet” pool area when we needed some downtime. It took us a little while to adjust to the new restaurants and the flow of the day and evening, but we must say, the music around the pool has definitely improved! We love having dinner at Shalo because it’s quiet and intimate. We do miss Chef Anna, though. Since we stay for a while, we also get the chance to eat at Suki, as well as the new restaurants, Eros and Kahlo. Elana is a wonderful maitre d' at Suki. Hector, the new maitre d' at Shalo, is learning quickly. Our waiters—Roger, Israel, Jussif, Elvis, Celso (butler-in-training), Domnie, and Jorge—are efficient and attentive. Guadalupe is a fantastic maitre d’ at Kahlo, and we love being served by Mario and Ivan G. For lunch, Eunice and Yazman are always friendly, welcoming, and genuine. They know where we like to sit and always remember us. Our waiters, Julio and Patricia, are both wonderful. We’ve also had great service from Angel, Eduardo, Manuel, Emir, and of course, Africa! Angel and Africa are always moving nonstop around the pool, ensuring we never run out of cocktails. Ines is quietly busy cleaning, and you’ll find her everywhere—from lunch to the lobby area to the disco. The towel attendants—Danny, Mike, Iker, Miguel, and Antonio—are always friendly and make sure our beds are ready every day. They take the time to greet us by name and ask how we’re doing, showing they genuinely love their jobs. The butlers—G, Raphael, Abel, Daniel, Victor, Ceasar, Jorge, and Lafrance—do an amazing job of ensuring we have everything we need and taking care of our reservations and requests. It was great to see our bartenders—Abraham, Joel, Jonathan, Edmundo, Jorge C, Carlos, Luis, Alberto, Gustauva, Miguel, Jesus, Andy (at Premier), and Ivan V. Jesus makes excellent espresso martinis, and all the bartenders work hard while still having fun. The new menus have been fantastic, and we’ve enjoyed trying a lot of great dishes. The food presentations are beautiful, and we truly appreciate the effort the staff puts into pampering us. Room service and turndown service are lovely touches as well. Our housekeeper, Patricia, always does an excellent job! The grounds are always pristine, and they spray for bugs in the evenings. The sunrises are peaceful and beautiful—this truly feels like our little piece of heaven. We would love to see Kahlo transform into either a steak or Italian restaurant, as the view is absolutely gorgeous, and the place often seems underutilized. Additionally, we think it would be great if Sahlo could adopt a more Mexican-inspired flair. We will see you in May!
