Trip Report from Temptation
Dear Go Classy,
You suggested that my wife and I try the new
Desire Resort in Cabo San Lucas
area. We did it! Here are our
thoughts:
We were pleased to learn that almost all the
major airlines travel non-stop
to Cabo. We selected an airline and booked a
7 night stay at the Resort. We
did not know what to expect. Desire Cabo is
less than 3 months old, so we
felt like pioneers, of sort. We were excited
and ready for a new experience.
After a quick 20 minute ride from the
Airport, we arrived.
We were immediately impressed when we
entered the resort lobby. The marble
floors, the sculptures, the mirrors and
artwork that adorned the check in
area, made us realize we were at a very
special resort. We were handed a
small piece of paper, added our home address
to it and signed on the bottom
line. Bingo ! We were handed our keys and a
glass of champagne. Total check
in time, 4 minutes. Our room was a short
walk from the lobby. The luggage
man was right ahead of us showing the way.
When we entered our "standard"
room my wife said, "WOW"! Contemporary
furnishings, black, white and red
colors, pillows everywhere, a curved white
leather couch, beautiful tasteful
erotic artwork on the walls, a refrigerator
(stocked), a Las Vegas style
safe, our own balcony, plus top quality
linens on an awesome king size bed.
After finishing our champagne, we unpacked
our luggage and began to explore
the property.
Desire Cabo has a total of 151 rooms. 133 of
those rooms are just like ours.
The landscape is incredible. Sand areas with
cactus, plus green grass areas
cover the entire property. The walkways are
surrounded by beautiful trees
and other Mexican desert plants.
As we walked towards the pool, we
encountered friends at the outdoor Melange
bar, (open 24 hours) After enjoying a
margarita, we
proceeded to the pool area. The swimming
pool is huge and it is kept at a
perfect temperature, Blue neon lights
illuminate the pool edges at night. A
very romantic sight. We had lunch that day
at the Tentazione pool
restaurant. Hamburgers, club sandwich or
steamed fish, which was the best of
the best. Of course, there was always plenty
of nachos and salsa. The pool
bar is open 9 to 6 every day. Our favorite
drink was called a Desire
Special. I am not sure what is in it, but we
loved it.
The Skytop Jacuzzi Hot-Tub is located on top
of the same building which
contains a Full Service Spa, Steam Room,
Sauna and an Exercise Room. Fitness
buffs will be pleased with the up-to-date
exercise equipment. Yes! The
Hot-Tub has it's own bar and is open till 3
AM. The view from this Skytop
location is fabulous. Sunset is a favorite
time to relax here.
Desire offers 2 main restaurants. Il'Piacere
and Suki. Each of these have
varying menus...see your room guide for an
exact schedule. Mexican,
Mediterranean, Italian and Oriental. The
cuisine from each of these
restaurants will please even the most
"hard to please" taste-buds. These 2
restaurants will, by themselves, be a
reason to plan a return trip to Desire Cabo,
ASAP.
One morning, we were too lazy to get out of
bed. (We stayed in the Disco too
long) We called room service and
ordered breakfast to be delivered to our
room. It was delivered promptly and it was
perfect. Room service is included
!
While relaxing on the airplane during our
return trip, my wife and I decided
that the biggest reason we will return to
Desire is the quality of the
entire Desire Resort staff. Whoever selected
these people deserves a huge
thank you for providing their guests with
the very best of efficient and
genuinely friendly people to take care of
our every need.
Mr. and Mrs. JR
P.S. Thank you for furnishing our transfers
on Epic Transportation. They
were perfect, too !
