Desire Resort Trip Report<br>April 28 -May 01, 2003<br><br><br>Major improvements have been made to the Cancun Airport and getting through<br>customs and Immigration is easy.  Proceed to the Curb Side Pickup Area for<br>transfers, meet your driver (prearranged transfers) or take a cab, about<br>$27.00 for cab.  The cab drivers must be able to speak some English or they<br>are not allowed to work the Airport.  The ride is 20 minutes and you are at<br>the Desire Resort.<br><br>When you first see the resort do not be alarmed.  The 2 acre lagoon out<br>front is still under construction with a new bridge.  Entering the lobby I<br>was greeted with Champagne and cold towel and a friendly attendant.  Check<br>in was quick and everyone speaks Great English. I noticed in the lobby area<br>was a good size gift shop, a jewelry store, and  an Internet room for<br>sending e-mails.  Concierge reception and comfortable sitting area.<br>You leave the lobby and walk across a wooden bridge over a small pool with<br>Tiki style sitting area to the right, to the left a Big Tiki style Bar and<br>as you get over the bridge there is a unique bed swing area.  These swings<br>are bed mats that you and your special companion can lay down on and enjoy<br>the cool summer breeze.  A short walk on the winding shaded tropical pathway<br>and I am at my room.<br><br>I had an Ocean view Room.  This room was five feet from the edge of the<br>beach.  Tile floor through out the room and bathroom.  Queen size bed<br>accented with Roman columns at the foot with a light cloth canopy and<br>mirrored back wall.  Good pillows and new sheets and comforter.  There was a<br>small refrigerator with bottled water and assorted sodas.  A safe in the<br>closet.  The Closet is big and plenty of hangers.  Shelf area with coffee<br>maker and more storage for your clothes ( you wonıt need them on the beach).<br>Chair and dressing table with good lighting and mirror.  Cable TV, HBO,<br>Showtime, Cinemax, Espn, Cnn, Espn2, BBC, Local stations.  Of course there<br>is a phone and All the wake up calls were on time.  One of my favorite<br>things about the room is Brand New Carrier Remote Control Air Conditioners,<br>Housekeeping thought I was from the North Pole.  The bathroom has a walk in<br>shower , Toilet, , nice sink area with shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath<br>jell.  The towels were Big and plenty  of them.<br><br>Off to the beach....A short five feet and you step onto smooth soft sandy<br>beach with tiki cabanas and new lounge chairs.  The beach is about 50-60<br>feet wide and the water has no waves but is warm and very clear.  You can<br>wade out for about 100yards and it is only 5-6 feet deep.  Off shore (you<br>can see it) about 1/4 mile is the Worldıs third largest coral reef.  This<br>breaks up the waves before they hit shore.  Also, because  of the reef,<br>shell hunting is not that good.  You pick up big beach towels by the<br>swimming pool, put on some tanning lotion and chill out in the sun.<br>Attendants come around and take drink orders, so there is no need to get up<br>when you are thirsty.  A constant breeze keeps away the flies , mosquitoes,<br>and sand fleas.  I really enjoyed this beach,,,no bugs.  Had too much sun<br>but do not want to leave the beach?  There are 25 tiki cabanas each with<br>four lounge chairs to sit on.  To the left of the resort about 1/4 mile away<br>is another resort.  There were no guests from this resort walking down our<br>part of the beach.  To the right of Desire Resort the beach has nothing for<br>about a mile.  There were no beach vendors or locals harassing the guests.<br>Security is very present , but friendly.  The Army patrols the beach every<br>morning around 7:00am.  This being a National Environmental Protected Area,<br>the Army is responsible to make sure no one damages the reef or beach with<br>dumping or illegal fishing and taking of coral.  After a long day on the<br>beach you can get a massage at the beach gazebo.<br><br>Bart B.<br><br>This report submitted to
