Another amazing trip to home.
It was another chart topper trip! We stayed in our favorite Diamond Suite and had the best butlers Mike and Erika who took such good care of us! We had Daniel our last night and he is also always amazing. Lefranc is also such an amazing guy, we love him and he always made sure to check on us throughout our trip just in case we needed anything. We go so often and have never had a bad butler, they are all so amazing. Meghan in the lobby is always such a sweetheart and wonderful help! She is always personable and kind, we love her! The playmakers are always so much fun and love that they get everyone into the daily activities, so appreciative of what they do, definitely makes the trips fun, my husband Joe also loves them and it’s always so nice that they remember us when we return. Africa was our server most days and she is always such a bright and wonderful person, she made sure we were always taken care of and never had an empty cup or hungry, and all the bartenders(Dylan, Gustavo, Noe, just a few to name but we loved all of them!) are always so helpful it’s hard to name them all, we were there from 10/25 to 11/2 and all the pool bartenders working during that time were so amazing as well as the night club and hot tub bartenders. They are always so personable and on it! All we interacted with were amazing and would just love to recognize them all for the outstanding service they had given us, as always. As always ArcAngel was amazing and helped set us up for whatever we needed, checked in with us and made sure we knew we were taken care of, such an awesome guy. We had amazing dinners at one of our favorite restaurants and always had amazing service from Portofino(love that guy!) and the Kahlo staff, always kept our drinks filled and experience great, had a wonderful dessert put together by portofino and Carlos, it was delicious and always fun to watch as they make it table side. We also don’t want to forget the wonderful housekeepers, we had Teresa during our trip and she did an amazing job and as well as the gardeners! They keep the property in top notch condition. The pool cleaners we saw every day working hard to keep everything clean and beautiful, I feel like they don’t get enough recognition as much as they should along with the gardeners and housekeeping, we love them all as they make our experiences as well each trip. Letzith and Hiromi are such sweethearts and were always so amazing during the night shows, their service and friendly nature is always amazing and appreciated, they took such good care of us. Going during Halloween was such a fun time and sad we missed Dia de Muertos, the staff did such a wonderful job with decorating and getting in the spirit with their costume contest! The only thing we would want to change is maybe the music in the club/disco, we would love to here more 90s hip hop/rap, maybe more fun grinding close dancing music lol, just something more sexy to dance to then techno/electronico, but we understand that you can’t always please everyone! We had an amazing time and want to do all the holidays there. We love everything about this place and visit often! This was probably our 6th trip this year and we have more planned for the future already.

Nov 06, 2025Staff great MANAGEMENT AWFUL
We used to love going here, but recent business practices and how they treat members has really made things go downhill. Plus how they are cranking the prices up at an alarming rate when other resorts are bringing theirs down. The staff are great, its the owners and managers that need a sharp kick

Best couples destination!
Every visit to Desire RM has been exemplary! The bar/pool staff are so attentive. Africa and Eduardo always make sure your drinks are cold and your glass is full. The butlers, Jorge, Yirhla and Abel check on you constantly making sure you have everything you need to make your experience excellent. The Playmakers, Bella, Pina, Mauricio, Kiara, Bam Bam and Monica keep the energy going and the entertainment top notch. Best vacation ever!
