Desire Pearl Riviera Maya

Desire Pearl suits lifestyle couples who want the Desire concept with more polish and fewer people. It publishes clearer rules than most resorts of its kind, which helps couples new to lifestyle travel know what to expect. It is not a naturist resort and not for singles.

The rules, as published

• Who: couples only, minimum age 21. The resort’s FAQ says it attracts straight couples.
• Nude areas: the pool, the beach, the Jacuzzi Lounge and the playroom.
• Clothes on: in the disco, the restaurants and other public spaces.
• Adult activity: confined to two designated indoor areas; the resort prohibits it at the pools and beach.
• Photos: only inside your own room, for personal use.

Evenings have dress themes that change through the week, such as a neon western night on Fridays, so check the resort’s calendar before packing.

Rooms and the Mansion

Standard categories run from Ocean View rooms and Junior Suites to Master Suites and a Penthouse Passion Suite, some with plunge pools. The Desire Mansion section adds oceanfront, swim-up and jacuzzi suites with a private pool, a butler and a private round-trip transfer from Cancún airport. The resort does not publish a room total; Tripadvisor lists 96.

What is on site

Three restaurants, four bars, a pool, a disco and playroom, the Jacuzzi Lounge, a fitness center and room service. The spa, beauty center and shop cost extra.

How it compares

Choose Desire Riviera Maya for a bigger, busier scene with the same concept. Choose Temptation Cancun for an adults-only party with tops optional but no nudity. Choose Hidden Beach for naturism without the lifestyle element.
