Location
DESIRE 2008 will take place in a charming private resort in Palm Springs, California. The resort is centrally located to downtown Palm Springs and surrounded by restaurants and amenities. It is easily reached from the Palm Springs International Airport. You can sometimes find better airfare deals when flying in/out of Ontario International Airport and renting a car for the 70 mile drive to Palm Springs.
The Resort
This will be our third year at this beautiful resort. Walk through the front lobby and you’ve entered our world. We’ve transformed this tropical resort into our secret weekend oasis. There is dungeon equipment and massage tables all over the resort for your use at anytime. There is a large courtyard area for socializing and several smaller more intimate areas. We’ve added lots of shade, including over the spa and part of the pool for everyone’s comfort. In addition to the misters around the grounds, we have an air-conditioned hospitaliy suite available for cool relaxation breaks. If you want to relax in a beautiful setting surrounded by naked kinky women, this is the place to be.
The resort is not able to accommodate your lodging needs. All of the resort rooms are occupied by presenters and DESIRE staff. Participants need to make their own arrangements for lodging. We’ve included a list of nearby accommodations for your reference.
