We are a couple from Brazil. We've been in the Lifestyle for some time, but it's difficult to find educated and sophisticated couples to play with in our country. We wish to go to a Lifestyles resort next January, but I couldn't find accurate information about them on the net. We don't care if it's in the Caribbean, the US, or even in Europe, as long as it is the best there is, in terms of accommodation, food, and, of course, the guests. Can anybody help me with information? Thanks.

Can't beat the Desire resorts in Cancun. Either Riviera Maya or Pearl.

 

We have heard this too about Desire Pearl from friends but have yet to go ourselves.

We have been to Desires 4 times. It's very nice. Desire Pearl is suppose to be a step up from there but I think that because of that it may be a bit of a older crowd. Temptations is topless but not couples only and not truly a swingers place, there is really no visible sexual activity going on anywhere. It's extremely loud and more of a giant fraternity party but there are a lot of couples meeting and playing together in their rooms and a lot of extra single (or not) males willing to join a couple or couples.

We really enjoy Desire also. We've been twice and are going again this fall. We've met great people and had the sexiest, most romantic times. I don't have anything else to compare it to, so I don't know if it's the best there is. The rooms are not the nicest you'll find anywhere, but they are nice and the people are the best! We liked the food a lot, but it's not the best food in the world. The service is excellent.

 

I've heard about nice places in Fiji and France. Sea Mountain Resort in California is supposed to be nice.

Thank you for all the information. Have anybody been to Desire's Pearl, or by Desire you mean the other one?

We've only been to Desire Riviera Maya. We have lots of friends who have been to both. All say the same thing. They liked Pearl, but they love RM. The rooms are nicer at Pearl, but the party is at Riviera Maya. Pearl is more relaxed, less action. A few people suggested going to Pearl for a couple days before or after RM to either ramp up or cool down after the craziness of a week at Desire. You can still find people to swing at Pearl, but it's not as easy as at RM.

We've been to Desire and Hedo II, but for us Sea Mountain is the best. Smaller, not great food (close to restaurants) and just a DJ on weekends but intimate and the best staff you will find at any resort. Refined but open sex anywhere and anytime if you wish, and no pressure to do anything you don't want to do.

We've been to Temptations twice and think it's absolutely great. It is a mix of LS, naughty vanilla and a very few shocked souls. the place can be as wild or quiet as you chose but we love the people we've met and the atmosphere. It's about half the cost of the Desire resorts, not as nice but far more diverse. I would suggest considering either Temptations or Desire.

We returned from our 5th trip to a Desire Resort about 6 months ago. During our last trip in September, we stayed at their Rivera Maya location (RM) but due to pool construction at RM we were given free transportation and free admission to Pearl during the day. RM is the smaller of the two but that can work in your favor if you are interested in meeting other couples. Pearl has a huge pool and even bigger hot tub and the food at Pearl (we only did lunch there) was a bit better. We did hear from other couples that have stayed overnight at both that RM has a much better night life. We did visit the Cabo Desire resort but that has since closed. We haven't been to Hedo but while many people say that the place needs some repairs they do say it is like the best frat party you have ever attended. The big difference between the two (Desire/Hedo) is that Hedo allows single guys and gals where as Desire is a couples only resort.

 

We might suggest that you check out some conventions like the Splash party and hotel take overs that generally last for 3-4 days that in some cases allow for nudity around the pool areas and do provide play rooms. Lastly there are a few clothing optional resorts (not exactly swinger resorts because they also cater to nudists) in Florida (Paradise Lakes/Caliente) and the one mentioned in California.

Desires RM period. Pearl has some pluses but (as I recall) you can visit Pearl by taking their bus for the day. Pearl is newer but there is NO nudity on the beach since it is in town and surrounded by other resorts and boat docks. RM is in the middle of nowhere and anything goes. Really, if you are in Cancun and the ocean water is like a nice warm bath, do you WANT to wear cloths to go in it? I hear now that the new pool is done at RM, it's much nicer as well.

 

Headed back to RM Sept 11 this year...

We have been to Desire Riviera Maya twice- last October, and again this past February.

 

The resort is a clothing-optional, lifestyle-friendly place. You need to cover up some to go into the restaurants, and people dress in sexy outfits or costumes for the nightly entertainment. Other than that, you can be naked pretty much throughout the resort, including on the beach! One note from personal, humiliating experience, though- if you go for the morning yoga class, you might want to either put on a bottom, or set yourself up in the back... I have a feeling that the dripping sweat was not very sexy to the poor woman behind me.

 

Desire would probably be considered to be among the more upscale of the lifestyle-friendly vacation spots. The food is good (and they have several restaurants to choose from on-site), the rooms are sufficient (you don't spend a whole lot of time in there anyway!), and the service is top-notch. And, as others have mentioned, unlike Hedonism, Desire allows couples only (no creeper single guys), and does not allow entry with day passes (also a potential source of creepy transients, and we've heard a rumor that working girls also enter some other resorts on day passes).

 

The resort is all-inclusive, including alcohol (love those blue Desire drinks!), so you can have all the fun you want without opening your wallet (there's no pants on you to put your wallet in anyway!). That said, a few modest tips given to the hard-working staff are much appreciated!

 

So, what is the lifestyle action like? Well, I can tell you that it's a mixed bag. There is a real mix among the clientele, ranging from open-minded nudists who like a sexy vibe, to regular folks wanting to experiment with being naked and having sex with each other in view of others, to full-on lifestyle people looking to swap. And the guest list has included a few who are not totally comfortable with exposing themselves, and go the whole time in their bathing suits. It's something of a crap shoot what kind of crowd you're going to get on a non-takeover week. As confirmed lifestylers looking to meet and play with fun couples, we frankly found the action a little sleepy on our visit last February. Some people actually seemed taken aback at the notion of swinging! Of course, to each his or her own, but I do not know why you'd pay a significant premium to come to a lifestyle-friendly resort, with no intention of taking advantage of the main selling point of the place (I will note that things seemed more active on our visit last October). Now, don't get me wrong, we did meet a lot of fun and interesting couples, and we did not go the whole week without swapping. But it was frankly a little frustrating to have traveled all the way to this hot lifestyle resort, only to find that most of the people there were not interested in playing. BTW, we have heard from several others the same thing that a previous poster said- that Desire Pearl is the more sleepy resort, play-wise (and also a slightly older demographic), while Desire Riviera Maya is more active.

 

We might return to Desire Riviera Maya on a week when there's a takeover by a lifestyle group, but I don't think we will risk our limited vacation dollars and days there on a week when we might get another sleepy crowd like we had in February.

 

Next big trip for us is a lifestyle takeover cruise! I can't speak from personal experience, but I like our prospects for swinging on a boat with 2000 like-minded people aboard! FYI, it's called the Bliss Cruise, and is sailing from Port Canaveral in November aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.

 

We would also consider trying out Hedonism II in Jamaica sometime, as we've heard the play is much more active there than at the Desire resorts.

      I’ve thought about going to this nudist resort near Sacramento, Does anybody have any experience there?
    • By decpl2021
      We just returned from our stay at Hedonism 2 in Jamaica and the worst part of it was having to leave. I wanted to thank everyone here and those that left reviews elsewhere for your recommendation. We were NOT disappointed. While many people are in different stages of the lifestyle with different interests, I wanted to provide my feedback to help them decide or provide some insight for those just getting started in the lifestyle.
       
      The facility was laid out very well, while they have a nude side and a prude side, either side is perfectly fine to choose and it is a very short walk should you choose to explore. The so called prude side, housing and beach, is the perfect place to spend the morning recovering from the night before or simply hang out in a quiet place for peaceful morning, relaxation and enjoy a more private intimate moment with your spouse or simply open a book to read. Clothing is optional, so do expect to see both nude, partially nude and fully clothed people. 
       
      The Nude side, is the perfect place for party time, anything goes to the wildest and most open forms in sexual interaction. The best way to describe the beach is 0 to 10. You can choose to be totally isolated at the very end of the beach where it starts on the border to the next resort and can walk down to the other end  which ends up being a non stop 24/7 party! You can basically walk along (a short easy walk) and choose to stay wherever you like. While being nude is required for this side, you can still expect to see some people with some sort of covering, sheer/lace, hat even a sarong. 
       
      Logistics:
      The Food is delicious, all kinds of food available for just about every taste, the staff is also familiar to help you with any food allergies and sensitivities. Don't hesitate to ask should you have some concerns regarding the ingredients, the staff is very friendly and happy to get any questions answered. On one occasion, (Asian Food Night) the chef came out personally went over which dishes contained gluten and pointed out what was safe. I stopped him half way through because there was more than enough to eat. Plates, Silverware, Napkins were all very clean, staff visited the table often to top off drinks and take away any plates.
       
      The Bars were fully stocked, the drinks were properly mixed and no sense of being watered down or weak like we saw at other resorts. If you want an extra strong drink, they were happy to oblige but the standard drink was as you would expect. 
      While they didn't have bottled water, you are given a reusable container with plenty of fill stations. The refill stations throughout the resort are triple filtered with UV to provide safe clean drinking water. The water was clean, odorless and tasted as you would expect from bottled water.
       
      The pools were clean and open to everyone, most of which are clothing optional with the exception of the one group of pools at the end of the nude side which was nude only. While there are several small pools through the resort, it was no trouble to find one that you can enjoy alone time with your mate. Same would go for hot tubs, plenty to choose from, private and open both nude and clothing optional.
      The nude side has a row of pools, semi warm one with a swim up bar, snack bar, wading pool (warm), waterfall that is a fence for a more private cave, large open hot pool, large cold pool and a smaller hot tub which is very warm. All of which are connected and easy to jump from pool to pool.
       
      Nude Side:
      - Do expect 99% to be Nude
      - Do expect to view open sexual activity, everywhere, on the beach, on the deck, around the pool, in the pool, on the floating dock, in the water, on the sand...... everywhere but inside the restaurants.
       
       
      Maintenance:
      While some did frown upon one pool or one room being closed as a given time, this is a good thing to be honest. The resort is basically a 24/7 establishment, there has to be a time where they perform maintenance and not every single room can be open 100% of the time. The resort is working hard to keep the property updated and clean, the closing of some rooms and pools should be expected. Nobody wants to go to a 'run down' resort. They are very conscious to maximize up time. For example, when we arrived the "Kamasutra Palace" was closed, we were a little upset at the moment but we saw that it was being repainted, new lighting fixtures being installed, floors being refinished and the whole building inside and outside being pressure washed. The next day, we went to find the other play room, just to find it closed but a sign hanging stating that the Kamasutra Palace was reopened and taking the place of the second play room. The same maintenance was going on there at the time. So there was always a play room open and while closing of any room sucks, it is nice to know they are keeping the buildings maintained and clean.
       
      We saw two pools closed during our stay which was no big deal as there were still many to choose from. I was surprised that they drained one pool, scrubbed, painted, made repairs and was refilled and back in operation within 48 hours. I've seen pools closed for weeks at hotels to make these types of repairs. I saw their crew out there in the dark working until it was reopened.
       
      Rooms: While the rooms were nice they were a little 'dated', wondering if they would be renovated anytime soon..... We then noticed 4 rooms with work crews gutting them for renovation, so do expect to see a new look on the other rooms the future
      Our room had one small issue, a drip of condensation from the A/C Unit, before we can even make a report, the maid noticed it and automatically contacted the A/C Repair Folks, they were in there during the daily cleaning and had it fixed in about 20 minutes. 
       
      Beaches: The beaches were cleaned daily of leaves and debris but no real trash was ever noticed. The beaches and water were very clean, plenty of towels stocked, plenty of seating and hammocks to relax in. Some of the rooms also had private hot tubs on the deck facing the beach, a few in which we visited, all of which were cleaned and treated daily, good condition and proper working order.
       
      Security: The beach is patrolled with several safety/security officers. None of which were a bother, they would greet you with a smile. I didn't see any of them up close to 'personal activity' but kept their distance. They were very professional and just let people do what they wanted for the most part. If there was some activity that kicked off, I noticed an officer excuse himself from that area and simply moved a little further away to provide privacy. The officers would routinely look in another direction and not take the scenes as a movie for them to watch. The staff was the same way, basically walk by and ignore the activity, no judging, no finger pointing, very very professional.
      We did have one interaction, while we met some new friends, one of them required an 'assisted' walk back to her room due to a little intoxication, as she was staying in the room next to us, we offered to walk her back, not due to a security concern but more of a trip and fall consideration. We were approached by security and was kindly asked what was "going on here" we explained and all was well, they did keep an eye to ensure there wasn't something else taking place but allowed us to go on our own and kept a good distance. 
       
      Guests:
      The best part of the trip were the people there. We have never met such a great group of people in our entire life. The people were non judging, open, very easy to talk to, happy to converse with anyone. The demographics of the group was better than expected. If you're worried about a certain age group or nationality, let it be known that it is a very diverse group of people. We've met people of all age groups, even a few in their 70's, all sizes, shapes, colors, classes, singles, couples. There is simply something or someone for everyone, no matter your level of participation in the lifestyle, you will not be disappointed. The people were very respectful.
       
      I highly recommend this resort to anyone, even if you're not currently practicing in the lifestyle, it is an experience that you will not forget.
      If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer.

      Hi, We are considering visiting Cherry Lane resort in Michigan. Can we hear some personal experiences? Any chance to have sex in public? (or semi-public area ???)
       
      Thank you!
    • By MapleCpl
      Has anyone heard about Cherry Lane nudist resort in Michigan?
      We heard there is a lot of swinging activity going on there.
       
      If you have been there, please share your experience or confirm if swinging takes place or not.
      We would like to visit this weekend, but want to make sure of what to expect.

      Interesting perspective here, a Huffington Post story of a monogamous lesbian goes by herself to a swingers resort. It's a good article, what she describes experiencing will sound very familiar.
