So my wife and I just returned from what was to be a romantic getaway to Desire and I thought I would write up my own personal trip report from our point of view. There are a number of other Hedo Vs. Desire reports and they should be taken as just personal preference reviews just as this one is. I... more

My husband and I went for our 4th Anniversary and had the BEST time! We met so many nice people from all over the country and the staff was exceptional! They just couldn't do enough for you and were always right there when you needed them! Gilberto by the pool was the best! I made up my own drink and... more

The staff is wonderful & most accommodating. Leo & Gilberto are absolutley the best waiters around. Check-in is at 3:00 so we & a few other couples sat at the lobby bar & got acquainted. We did ask for a change of room for a king-size bed, but the rooms are nice & clean. The only complaint is the way... more

This was our second time here and it will be our last for a longtime. The check-in people are wonderful but there is a notable difference in the quality of the food now and also in the service. There is a lot less staff and a lot less attention to detail especially the service on the beach and in the... more

YAY! We are there, we are so excited AND it’s my Birthday! Excellent…….and then the HUGE buzz kill……poor Oscar that works at the front desk informed us that Lifestyles Travel had not sent our payment we paid them 3 months earlier and told us in order to stay we would have to pay again! WHAT? Am I being punked? Sadly,... more

Great resort. Good food and service (much better than Hedo II). Very nice room, stocked with drinks, nice beach, not too far from the airport. My only complaint is that the ride to the hotel is steep IMO. They ought to invest in a shuttle of their own. It is pricey but better than the competition for what you get.... more

Desire Resort is probably innocent of this situation, but they required all reservations tobe made through "Lifestyles Resorts"' in Anaheim, CA for the third week of July. Lifestyle resorts required all the money to be paid up front and they were supposed to pay our thousands of dollars to Desire one month before our vacation. They have not paid it... more

Apologies for the lateness of this review and in advance for the length! We stayed here for 2 weeks in May and had the most amazing holiday we have ever had. We do enjoy being naked on holiday (when we do not have the children with us) which is what initially prompted us to look at Desire but we were... more

We absolutely LOVE this resort!!! In fact, we can't wait to go back...again and again. It's imperfect, and doesn't pretend to be a Ritz or Hyatt, and that makes it perfect. A small resort, with a haphazard collection of rooms located in two story buildings scattered around the lush, palm filled property. The rooms are clean, and housekeeping often leaves... more

I want to be very fair here on my point of reference. My husband is 31, I am 27, we are fun athletic, love to travel, etc. If this is you, don't go. I am not trying to be mean at all...but just don't go. The resort was at capacity and there was not a single other person under 40.... more
