Nov 25, 2025Amazing fun and respectful place
This place is just an amazing good time. It’s not top luxury if you are expecting that to it is not for you unless you pay the big expensive suites. But the open minded atmosphere with the respect aspect of it (I feel better here than at bars) is amazing. But the best thing about this hotel are the people. My favorites were for sure Lalo the waiter and then the playmakers Chiara and Mauricio, and then Christian at front desk always willing to lend a helping hand. Although most of the staff is really good, they provide 6 star service for sure! Try it you will not regret it.

Fantastic
Just Wow, this place just never stops to surprise us, incredible staff that really make you feel like you never left. Then there's the playmakers, not sure how they have so much energy ( I'm sure they will miss me playing pool volleyball) Bella is Extra special but i can't forget Chiara, Monica, Pina, Mauricio and BamBam. Eunice, Jasmin, Hector and the Egg lady (forgot her name) are great in the restaurants, Carlos and Ivan the bartenders, Able, Rafael and Daniel the butlers where alway there to help. All i can say is this place is definitely home away from home no matter where your at in the LS community.

Very relaxing, peaceful, and playful vacation with friendly and open minded people.
I spent third week of September 2025 in Desire RM. This all-inclusive couples-only resort is located in Rivera Maya. It is very similar to the resort related to it that is Desire Pearl located in Puerto Morelos. I feel attracted to these places because of their unique atmosphere difficult to find anywhere else in the world. This atmosphere is filled with love and respect. Love for all people and respect to the entire surroundings. These resorts are not so called “family friendly” resorts, because you can be naked all the time anywhere (except restaurants). There are also couple designated areas (one indoor and one outdoor) where having sex in public is customary. These resorts are not nudist either, because you can wear a swim suit or any clothes anywhere at any time. Nobody gives you any indication of disapproval because of how you look. While being there I feel like I can be myself and nobody will be judging me, or criticizing me, so I can be really relaxed all the time. People who come there are lovers, not haters. However, if you are offended by nudity, then don’t go there, because you will see a lot of it. And the way people perceive nudity can make you feel uncomfortable. Those who choose to be naked are not Barbies and Apollos presenting their perfect bodies. In fact, they are of all ages, shapes, sizes, and skin colors. They are highly diversified because they come from different parts of the world with different cultures, histories, and religious believes, but they co-exist peacefully, because they accept and respect their differences. Everybody is sharing one common goal all the time: to have fun. Also if you have strong and well defined opinions on social standards, political issues, religions, or life styles, then don’t even think of going there, because you can get frustrated noticing how differently people think and behave. And don’t go there if you are annoyed by strangers greeting you, because in this place almost everybody greets everybody all the time. The resort offers lots of great attractions and activities, but the spa requires special attention. The massage therapists are world class professionals highly skilled and talented. They are capable of providing high quality massage of any type. When you arrive for treatment you will be greeted and assisted to waiting area by very nice, kind, and welcoming young man named Jesus. He will provide all what you need and go away after making sure that you are satisfied. I purchased 80 minutes relaxing massage with Caroline. She relaxed me to the point that I kept falling asleep. Next day I took 50 minutes relaxing massage with Teresa (she wasn’t available for 80 minutes that I would prefer). On top of being highly professional she has such a loving and caring touch that I wanted more. So next day I decided to take 4 hands fantasy massage with both: Teresa and Caroline. It was best 80 minutes of my entire stay at this resort. They have warm personality with friendly and respectful attitude. They don’t fake anything at any time. All comes naturally as a result of genuine, peaceful, and mutually trusting human interaction. This massage was an unforgettable experience and I wish I could purchase 80 hours of it instead of maximum allowed 80 minutes. I cannot wait to go to Desire RM again (and to Desire Pearl where I had similar experiences).
