All during the day we watched as workers built a stage by the beach, complete with a runway over the pool, dozens of lights in the pool, banners, sound systems and a huge 20 foot electronic screen. We knew we were in for something special when we heard the periodic boom of the speaker checks. The day was Cancun perfect – temperature in the 80s, a gentle breeze off the Caribbean, and not too humid. Enrique, entertainment manager, and his staff, worked diligently all day and into to early evening to prepare, moving furniture, setting up tables and making the pool and beach side cabana restaurant ready for the festivities. At the same time, Guido, head chef, had his crew cooking up a storm.
The evening began just as the sun set, with cocktails around the pool and at the lounge atop the beachside restaurant with the DJ spinning lounge grooves. The open bar and conversation was complimented by sushi appetizers and the passing of two cruise ships, lights ablaze, just beyond the reef. The ambience was pure delight, and it was enhanced when the heart and soul of Desire, the ladies who manage much of the Desire's marketing, sales and reservations, arrived. Alma, Sylvia, Pattie and Dania were dressed to impress and that they did! It was great to catch up with the Desire team on such a festive occasion.
After cocktails it was down to the restaurant for dinner. White table cloths, fine crystal and elegance set the tone, topped off by the buffet to top all buffets. Lobster, ahi tuna, salmon, shrimp, rack of lamb, leg of lamb, veal chops, filet minion, grilled fish and baked fish, just for the meats. Then salads of many sorts and a full pasta bar. The highlight though was the ceviche bar, where one of Guido’s expert staff made ceviche to order, with the ingredients of your choice, including fish, shrimp, octopus, squid, lobster, fresh lime juice, salsa and spices. It was fabulous. Of course the wine and champagne flowed constantly, and if you had room, there was an amazing dessert selection.
After dinner the guests mingled back around the pool and beachfront stage and when all had gathered, Mario got up on stage and introduced the De La Pena family, owners of Desire Resorts, and the resort management, including Pearl’s new manager, Alessio. Senora Patricia De La Pena welcomed everyone as friends, thanked all of her commercial partners for helping make Desire such a success, and thanked everyone for coming to celebrate this momentous occasion. Her father, Senor Diego De La Pena address the crowd in Spanish, and expressed similar sentiments.
As the Desire management left the stage, one of the hottest DJs in Mexico, Baby Queen, cranked up the dance mix as Mario introduced the Victoria Secret Fashion Show. Six hot Victoria Secret models entertained and enticed the audience with selection after selection of exotic and erotic undergarments and lingerie. As the fashion show came to and end, the sky exploded with a fireworks display reminiscent of any good fourth of July celebration. With thunderous applause and cheering, the crowd moved off the disco, where the party continued until the wee hours of the morning. Desire Pearl, sister resort to Desire Riviera Maya and Desire Los Cabos, is born, and a new legend begins.
If you visited Desire Pearl when it was Ceiba del Mar, you may ask, “What’s different?” We think you’ll be amazed and impressed with the changes. Desire has added a brand new central hot tub with swim up bar surrounded by day beds (where the kiddy pool used to be—still used for playing, just a different kind!) There is a raised DJ station that faces the main swimming pool to one side, and the hot tub to the other side, so the DJ or entertainment staff can entertain guests at both pools with the new sound system. Down on the beach and around the pool you’ll find dozens of new day beds. By the upper restaurant you’ll find the brand new disco and playroom. Add a great entertainment staff, a top ranked chef, and a passion for service, and you’ve got a resort experience that is tough to beat. Throughout the resort management has made hundreds of small changes in amenities, staff and processes so that Desire Pearl certainly rivals Desire Riviera Maya for ambience and experience. And don’t forget, every room has a view of the ocean, the pool or both from your own private lanai.
