Our Unforgettable Moments at Desire Pearl, Mexico During the Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, my husband and I found our haven at Desire Pearl in Mexico. Visiting the resort multiple times during this period allowed us to escape the stress of the world and immerse ourselves in a world of comfort, luxury, and new friendships. Each visit to Desire Pearl was a breath of fresh air, with the staff always ensuring that we felt extra comfortable and at home.
As part of the travel routine during the pandemic, we had to take a mandatory COVID-19 test 24 hours before checking out. It wasn’t the most exciting part of our stay, but the resort made the process as seamless as possible. My husband and I went together for our tests, knowing that this small inconvenience was worth the joy we experienced during our time at Desire Pearl.
While waiting for our turn, something unexpected happened. The doctor, after looking at our passports and noticing our different last names, made a comment to his nurse in Spanish. He said, "Look at this gringo, this week he is with this girl, next week he will come back with another one." The doctor was under the impression that my husband had paid for my services during our stay, assuming I was a high-class escort. What the doctor didn’t know was that my husband speaks fluent Spanish—one of the five languages he’s mastered.
At first, my husband considered responding in Spanish to let the doctor know he understood everything. However, seeing that the doctor was about to administer the COVID test, holding a very long swab destined for his nose, he wisely decided to keep quiet. We finished the tests and left, and that’s when my husband translated the entire conversation for me.
Initially, I was mad. The idea that someone would think of me as an escort felt insulting. But then, I had a change of heart. I realized that at 50 years old, being mistaken for a high-class escort by a young doctor could actually be seen as a compliment. It made me feel young, sexy, and confident—something that Desire Pearl has a way of bringing out in its guests.
Our visits to Desire Pearl were not just vacations; they were a much-needed escape and a way to hold on to some normalcy during uncertain times. The laughter, the connections, and even the unexpected moments like this one are what made our experiences so special. While the world outside was in chaos, inside the walls of Desire Pearl, we found peace, joy, and a reminder that age is just a number.
