Are Couples Being Bumped to Pearl... For REAL?!?!

[sunflower25]

My hubby and I will be arriving at RM on the 28th of April. This will be our 4th visit there! We are so excited! BUT, I have been reading that people with reservations at RM are being bumped to Pearl with no advanced warning and without their approval. Is this really happening? I am concerned! We do not want to stay at Pearl, which is why we booked at RM! Anyone out there know anything about this?

Thanks!

It would suck to get bumped from your intended resort if the guests were absolutely against it. However, when the same thing has happened to us we were VERY happy on previous trips to other beach destination vacations. One thing that comes to mind is the cheapest room at Pearl is I think at least $100 more then the cheapest room at RM...$380 I think...June rates being referenced. Upgrades typically work out for the best. Upgrades could be subjective I suppose.

My thoughts on this whole situation seeming to happen often during the initial opening weeks is this...

The Pearl may not for a long time have the same erotic vibe (PDA/PDS etc.) if the regulars do not want to try the Pearl and give it time to become the same if not better then RM. In my opinion it will be the regulars visiting Pearl that will help create the same erotic/sex filled vibe existing at RM. Newbies like us will probably be more reluctant to engage in PDA/PDS if we don't first see it from other guests.

We chose Pearl because RM was sold out the weekend we are going. We're hoping our decision turns out not to be just because RM was sold out Based on the feedback we're already very skeptical of the sexual vibe present at Pearl when we'll be there. No groups appear to be booked for the weekend.

It seems to have happened at least a couple of time according to reviews on trip advisor

I would be pi$$ed if we were transfered. We usually go with friends or spend a few months in yahoo groups getting to know people. Being moved to Pearl and not being with our group would SUCK!

I think it will take a few months before Pearl has the same sexual Vibe as RM. People are unsure where to do things etc. RM has a "flow" to it.....pool or beach during the day, move up to the jacuzzi for afternoon fun, dinner, drinks at the bar before the jacuzzi, disco/playroom, back to the jacuzzi, 3am pizza...lol.
it will take some time for that to happen at Pearl.

I agree- it will take a few months for things to settle at Pearl. Eventually it will (hopefully) develop it's own unique vibe. Any "copy" always pales in comparison to the original, but with the differences in layout , room quality, and amenities Pearl has a chance to turn into a great alternative that some -not all- will prefer to Desire RM.
In the mean time, there won't be any such thing as a typical week at Pearl. It'll probably be very hit/miss according to who happens to be there while they build a following- and work out all the little issues that are bound to pop up.

Well, to put it very bluntly... This couple is not being bumped! Like the rest of you that posted, I would be PISSED! I will become that guest/client that no one wants to have!

I wonder if Pearl is going to develop its own vibe from mainly new first time visitors to the Desire Resort brand. Maybe two separate unique groups of visitors to each RM and Pearl will develop. Time will tell all that's for sure. Here's to getting naked, and other activities at whatever one
