Oct 04, 20254 new Pickleball courts!!
We’ve been five times and love it. BUT…the entertainment team is sorely lacking. They rarely interact with the guests at all. They seem to try to avoid doing anything more than minimum work. There seems to be a lot of turnover with that staff. Is it a problem with their leadership not training and coaching them? The entertainment team at Desire is a 10 as they seem to actually enjoy talking with guests and get to develop friendships over the years. Rarely is there turnover at Desire unlike Hedo. Half the dancers at the pool today were new and didn’t even know the group dance steps so just watched. Winston is an amazing entertainer but evidently not much on coaching his team and helping them grow and setting expectations for guest interactions. Definitely sub par from any other resort we’ve been to - even vanilla ones. On a positive note we love the four brand new Pickleball courts!! Garfield has done a nice job improving the Pickleball options over the years. They have paddles to borrow so you don’t have to pack anything. Too bad there is nothing on the Hedo website about Pickleball. It’s a lost marketing opportunity and although that may not be the primary draw we have met guests who didn’t pack Pickleball clothes and were very disappointed to learn they missed out on a chance to play. We were really surprised by how good the food was! We ate at all the restaurants and buffet and never had a bad meal. Love that GF foods are marked and widely available at the buffet. The food and bar service staff were all very professional and kind.

Sep 27, 2025Stepping out of your comfort zone in the best way.
This was a trip of a lifetime. We had so much fun. I did this for my 45th birthday as I wanted to do something I’d never done before and this experience was EVERYTHING! The staff was great, the people were awesome, the food was good (we loved Flame). If you do decide to go, don’t skip the 4 hands tantric message at the Kama Sutra Palace. Rebecca and Carmen are so sweet and it was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to visiting again.

Heaven on earth….
This was our 2nd trip and definitely not our last. Simply put, there is no other place like it, whether you’re nudists, in “the lifestyle”, or someplace in between. The party in the nude pool is something you must experience for yourself. Yes, there is open sexuality (and sometimes a lot of it). The vast majority of people who come here are swingers. If you’re looking for a completely non-judgmental place where you’ll be welcomed with open arms, this is it.

Home Away from Home
This was my 4th trip in the last 6 years. I absolutely love this place. The staff is amazing, very friendly and cater to your needs. The food is good and available all day into the wee hours of the morning. They have started to upgrade the rooms. You aren't in the room much and they are comfy.

There's no place like it.
This is a special place. And the thing that makes it special is the staff. They are attentive, helpful and engaging!. Every day Anna Kay, made sure I had fun and started my day off right. She made sure everyone was entertained during activities and I truly appreciate her efforts. Can't wait till my next visit
