Never heard of anyone getting sick at Desire RM nor Pearl. Think it would be financial suicide if a resort like Desire had sanitation issues. Where as some of the cheaper resorts, well there ya go. Cheaper resorts. Just the usual things to stay away from, tap water, salads, cut fruit etc. An ounce of prevention...But no have never heard of anyone even remotely getting ill.
People get sick at ALL resorts, and we have heard & known a few folks who got sick at
Desire . It's NOT common though!!! It would be "financial suicide" for any resort to have sanitation issues, and to say it's more likely at cheaper resorts is BS. We've stayed at cheaper, and more expensive, AI's on the Riviera Maya, and none of them have left us feeling we could have health issues. Waves of sickness hit up and down the coast periodically, and can't be prevented. The thousands upon thousands of people jammed into aircraft daily, who then spend their week or so amongst the crowds of people in their chosen resort, only have to be exposed to one fellow guest who is sick, and then it spreads like wildfire......then throw in all that time spent in the hot sun over-imbibing....
Oh, and in ten
Desire trips, we drink the water, eat the salads and fruits, and personally neither of us has fallen ill.
