If you're dreaming of a luxurious escape where every detail is designed to pamper and delight, then Desire Resorts Riveria Maya is your answer. I've worked for the Desires Resorts several times throughout the years teaching My couples EEC courses. My husband and I spend a blissful week each time at this all-inclusive couples’ retreat, and from the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something extraordinary.
The luxury at Desire Resorts is evident from the moment you step through the doors. We were greeted with a glass of champagne and warm, genuine smiles from the staff who made us feel like VIPs from the start. The check-in process was seamless, with the concierge giving us a personal tour of the resort as we made our way to our room. And what a room it was! Spacious and elegantly appointed, with plush bedding, a well-stocked minibar, and a private terrace overlooking the ocean. The attention to detail was impeccable—every aspect of the room, from the décor to the amenities, screamed luxury...even with Bulgari lotions.
One of the things we loved most about Desire Resorts is that it’s truly all-inclusive. There’s no need to worry about extra charges or hidden fees; everything you could possibly want is included. We indulged in gourmet meals at the resort’s various restaurants, each offering a unique dining experience. Whether we were enjoying a romantic dinner at the signature restaurant, savoring fresh seafood by the beach, or grabbing a quick bite at the poolside grill, the food was consistently excellent. The chefs clearly take pride in their work, crafting dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious.
The customer service at Desire Resorts is on another level. The staff is incredibly attentive, always anticipating our needs before we even had to ask.
Whether it was a fresh towel at the pool, a perfectly mixed cocktail delivered to our beach lounger, or assistance planning our day’s activities, they went out of their way to ensure our stay was flawless. It’s clear that the resort prides itself on providing a personalized experience, and we felt truly taken care of throughout our stay. "My pleasure" and a warm smile is a constant they must teach their entire staff.
Speaking of the pool and beach, let me tell you, they are paradise. The pool area is the heart of the resort during the day, with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. We spent our days lounging on plush daybeds, taking dips in the crystal-clear water, and sipping on expertly crafted cocktails. The beach, just steps away, is equally stunning. The soft white sand and gentle waves provided the perfect backdrop for sunbathing and leisurely walks. You'll notice that the crowd at the resort will mostly be poolside during the day. The daybeds on the beach are for those couples seeking sun, sand and a bit more privacy... oh yeah and waitress. The jacuzzi area lights up late afternoon for afternoon cocktails. All with in steps of each other.
For those moments when we wanted to unwind and recharge, the resort’s spa was a true sanctuary. We treated ourselves to a couples massage, and it was pure bliss. The spa’s tranquil setting, combined with the skillful hands of the therapists, melted away any lingering stress, leaving us both feeling rejuvenated and deeply relaxed.
Peppered through out their entertainment calendar you'll find a wide spectrum of activities to participate in. From expert workshops taught by various special guests like Myself, to couples massage workshops to water aerobics, there's literally something for everyone. My workshops were packed to capacity daily and full of fun and laughter. I was told by many who attended it was a perfect way for them to break the ice with fellow resort goers which resulted in quickly making friends and adding to the fun of their vacation.
One of the highlights of our stay was the themed entertainment every evening. The resort offers a variety of events, from elegant soirées to lively parties, each with its own unique vibe. We particularly enjoyed the white party night, where the entire resort was transformed into a glowing paradise, with live music, dancing, and plenty of opportunities to mingle with other couples. The entertainment team did an incredible job of creating an atmosphere that was both fun and sophisticated. However, I do wonder when they sleep as you see them early am until the very last event of the day. The entertainment staff is always fun and friendly, as well as international.
What makes Desire Resorts truly special, though, is the sense of connection it fosters. It’s a place where couples can escape the pressures of daily life and reconnect in a setting that’s as romantic as it is luxurious. We left feeling more in tune with each other, with memories of a week spent in paradise that we’ll cherish forever.
In short, Desire Resorts Cancun is the epitome of luxury and service. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive getaway that delivers on every level, this is the place to be. We’re already counting down the days until we can return to this slice of heaven on earth.
