Nov 02, 2025Great vacation as always!
Our stay was great! Service from the staff was excellent as usual. Starting with our butlers G and Raphael were always checking to see if we needed anything and getting us the reservations we wanted. Abraham and Africa at the pool bar gave great service every day. Miguel and Danny at the pool had our chairs, tools, and umbrella exactly we wanted throughout the entire stay.

Oct 29, 2025Francisco Mora & Chef Eucario
We keep coming because of the concept of the hotel. $800 a night for a very dated room doesn’t seem fair but again we like the atmosphere. Food is really good at any of the restaurants there. Francisco Mora the barista and chef Eucario made our stay very pleasant and comfortable, they made sure to go out of the way to make my wife and myself welcome and special every night. I wish they would do a renovation to the rooms specially to the dated rooms because they are always at capacity and even with our membership we only get the oldest rooms.

A Dinner To Remember
We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary at the resort, and it honestly turned into one of those evenings we’ll talk about for years. From the first hello to the last bite, everything just clicked. The resort recently brought in Executive Chef Carmelino Perez to revamp the dining program, and you can really feel his influence. He’s clearly built a team that loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. That night, Chef Marco and Chef Maxx were in charge of the kitchen, and their passion came through in every course. Marco has that rare gift — he listens to what you like, then somehow gives you something even better. Every dish felt personal, creative, and full of heart. We had a private patio table with the ocean right in front of us. The breeze was warm, the moonlight reflected off the water, and it just felt magical — simple but perfect. Before dinner, the chefs asked us to describe the best meals we’d ever had and why. Then they built a custom menu around that. It was such a thoughtful touch. The first course was a total surprise: a César empanada. It sounds unusual, but it worked perfectly — grilled chicken, parmesan, mozzarella, and crisp romaine tucked inside flaky pastry with Chef Marco’s own Macha oil, made with a mix of árbol, guajillo, pasilla, and ancho chiles. Familiar flavors, but completely reimagined. Then came a silky corn cream soup with goat cheese, truffle oil, and crunchy little croutons on top. Comfort food, but elevated. The main course was a showstopper — perfectly seared steak in a red wine glaze and a lobster tail in a garlic butter white wine sauce, with two kinds of handmade tagliolini on the side. One golden from saffron, one black from squid ink, both tossed in coffee-infused butter. Every bite tied together beautifully. Dessert was a mix of playfulness and elegance — lime macarons, a chocolate bombón with a soft vanilla center, and our anniversary cake, which made us laugh when a gust of ocean wind carried away some of its flowers. It was a sweet, lighthearted ending to a flawless meal. We’ve had plenty of nice dinners over the years, but this one felt different — not just perfect food, but genuine care and creativity from everyone involved. Truly a night to remember.

Amazing, The Best birthday ever.!!!!
We have been to many nude resorts, in the United States but tnis was my 1st time out the country and I’m glad my husband surprised me with Desire Maya in Mexico. As you arrive to Resort you are greeted and treated like Royalty. The resort is amazing, very clean and well maintained. The butlers, bartenders, servers, chef, and even maintenance people are very nice, friendly, humble, helpful, they make you feel so comfortable. I was there 4 days and I didn’t want to leave. They have a nightclub, jacuzzi bar, pool bar, restaurants, store to buy clothes for theme nights, massage bar, nail shop and the entertainers are great. These are the people that were very attentive to us, From Eros Francisco, Chef Eucario , and the rest are from the resort , Enrique, Roberto, Angel, Stefania, Charlie, Javier, Carlos, Alberto, Bella, Pina, Viridiana, Dona Mate, Celis, Rodrigo, Bam bam, Edgar el guapo, and the bartender with white glasses, all the chefs from all the restaurants were amazing. Can’t wait to go back.
