Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

I took a tour of the Hacienda and will say that the rooms are over the top nice. The grounds are simple and plain. the staff is snobbish, they have two pools. one was heated and the other one was not.. it's a refreshing pool.. WHAT THE *&$@. It's freaking November and the pool was freezing. The Rates were the highest in town plus they have an additional 18% fee plus the 11.5% city tax. The rooms are really nice they are actually like a one room appartment with full kitchen. Who the hell needs all that on vacation. I stayed at an equally nice MUCH better grounds and a very nicely heated pool. and saved tons of money. If you win the lottery this is the place for you.

I can appreciate a fun sexually energized anything. I stayed at a neighboring gay resort and took a tour of The Vista Grande. I was NOT impressed. it really looked old and run down. some of the overhangs had electrical wires hanging down, chipped/peeling paint. The staff really didn't care if I was touring or not. Not so friendly. It was suggested that I walk back to the famous waterfall and there was an orgy. Kewl, but NOT KEWL.. there was no safe sex it really was a nasty scene, they have a steam room as well but it smelled like piss. I asked to see a room and I was shown a room with old nasty carpet, mildew in the shower and the room smelt like it had been closed up for a year. If you want sex in a run down older property this is the one. Buyer beware.

This is my second visit to the Desert Paradise. The first one was back in November and there were a mixed group of singles and couples. The Age range was from 20 something to a couple who were in their 60's. Everybody was really nice, relaxed and NO attitudes. It definately IS NOT a bath house like some other places in the area. What I liked most was all it had to offer. Great staff, Steam room and Dry sauna, comfortable clean large rooms. I was in the Doris Day.. Great view of the Jacuzzi (more action at night). The Breakfast was really more than I expected. So much to choose from, not just toast, coffee and a Banana. We had really good weather and the staff was more than helpful with directions, suggestions and all around good people. We were there for a week and the only thing I didn't like was ... Nothing It really is a nice place to stay.. like I said NOT a bath house but we had fun at night on the grounds. I will be back for 3rd visit this July.
