Sunrise Miches Beach Resort

My husband and I stayed at Temptation Grand Miches August 15-20. we are previous customers of Desire Pearl and were actually referred by Desire Pearl last year. However, since then it seems there is no marketing for Temptation Grand. The place has potential but alot of corrections/repairs need to be made. it seems the owners chose quantity over quality in construction, for example the building is new but looks dated 15-20 years, doors were not hung to the floor and insects/creatures of all kinds crawl under the doors into the rooms, grading/landscaping is terrible and there is standing water in walkways with heavy rains, there is also overflowing sewage on the Temptation side with heavy rain, walls are cracking in the rooms, areas already in need of paint, decor already peeling and cracking, door frames/walls not cut/framed properly, and honestly just very poor construction for a new resort. There is no jacuzzi, there is a semi heated rooftop pool with no jets, this is very disappointing and ruins the entire jacuzzi vibe. The pop/hip hop music was so loud from the Temptation side that you could hear it on the Grand side. The Grand side was maybe 25% capacity and both the Grand side and the Temptation side seemed to cater to the 20-30's age range. Again if the place was marketed properly and was full capacity, we might could offer a different opinion. So , if you're looking for the Upscale more mature yet fun atmosphere like Desire you will not find that here. The Disco/play room was near empty most nights and was completely empty one night at 11pm and so was the hot pool area. Definitely a plus that the resort is clothing optional at the pool/hot pool/ play room on the Grand side, it definitely would have made for a boring trip if this was not offered. The English language barrier is really bad here compared to Desire/Mexico and made communicating requests very difficult at times, also most of the activities were not communicated in English, the beach is okay, certainly not as pretty or calm as Riviera Maya(when the seaweed is gone). The food at both were okay. Romanza( Italian) and SHE(must see dinner show) on the Temptation side were really good, Suki on the Grand side was good, the lunch buffet on the Grand side was good everyday. Drinks at all bars were good and did not appear to be watered down at all. Playmakers seemed to want to entertain a little too much, would expect the Grand side to be toned down just a little bit as compared to the Temptation side. All staff were smiling and friendly!!! That being said, the following staff were exceptional... Yuleidy- bartender at the hot pool was outstanding and needs a promotion and would be fabulous at Desire! Junior- bartender at Temptation and Grand Disco was also fabulous and makes the best strawberry Maragrita- he also deserves a promotion! Lisaury- hostess at Grand is so incredibly friendly and deserves a promotion! Jose and Keisy at Suki were outstanding!! Julian-server was helpful and ext

The hotel itself and staff were excellent. Very well designed. Staff was friendly. However, the food was almost horrible. The was no water amenities, like sailboats, etc. Beach was brown and not inviting. Nighttime entertainment was boring and repetitive. The ride from Punta Cana was long and expensive $300 plus tips. I don't think it was a good value for our money. We won't be back.

Nov 22-29/2022 - First time to Temptation Grand Miches/Desire Miches. Resort is about a year old, recently changed name to Desire Miches. Rooms are nice size and beds are comfortable. Food and service was good. Resort is nicely laid out with Large clean pool w/swim-up bar, roof top hot tub w/swim-up bar, nice disco, gorgeous beach, small gym, and free access to sister property a short walk away at Temptation Miches. We enjoyed ourselves and met lots of great people. Resort was not full but there was plenty of people. Noticed many of the staff are working hard to learn English and we appreciated their efforts. We arrived as a group of 4 couples (premier member + referrals) and were assigned a fantastic butler named Jochi, who continuously went above and beyond to make sure we were all having a fabulous trip. Gabriel (the mixologist) at the bar made tasty drinks including our fave after eight martinis. Franklin & Carlos did a great job everyday ensuring our loungers & towels and needs around the pool were well taken care of. LaCina, Bella & Anaconda worked hard to keep the activities & vibe fun (pool & beach volleyball, Aquafit, beach & pool yoga, afternoon pool games, etc.) So many friendly cheerful staff in the dinning rooms and poolside serving drinks, including the pool bar tenders. Only a few things we would like to see in the future : a beach BBQ shack and beach drink service along with beach washrooms. Fans in dinning room and bar areas would be appreciated plus More liquor brand options. This resort has lots of potential and we are Already thinking about when we might return.

This was our first trip to a Desire resort, as we are regulars at Hedonism 2. We were blown away at the size and the beauty of our intimate jacuzzi suite. The resort is absolutely breath taking, it is definitely 5 star material! We loved Sahalo (sp) Italian/Mediterranean cuisine. Nicholas was our waiter on all nights we dined here, and that man worked so hard for us. It seemed like he was all alone, looking after everyone's needs with speed, accuracy and a big smile on his face. Sandy was our attendant each morning for breakfast, he had such a fun/positive vibe, and was an absolute joy to see each morning. Anna Karen was our greeter, and we also enjoyed our morning chats with her. I wish we were here longer than a week to have made connections with more employees! We enjoyed most of our evening meals, with the exception of "SHE" it is a set ,meal, and you are not asked about allergies or HOW you would like your beef cooked. I ended up with bacon in my soup (I'm allergic, and yes that's unfair!!) that was quickly fixed when i noticed it, and exchanged for a bowl free of bacon, however the steak was over cooked for me, and not overly enjoyable (but certainly edible!) She is a fun experience, and should I do recommend checking it out! You may want to make a second reservation! We were not able to get a reservation at Suki, but ordered off the menu (we could walk in and get a seat) and i LOVED my meal! I was glad i ordered off the menu instead of waiting for the cook top meal! The pool parties varied in enthusiasm. It is not the high energy that we are accustomed to in Jamaica, however, 2 days stand out as fun and edgy! One day they put chocolate syrup on the girls, and had their men lick it off, and of course the foam party was high energy, and so much fun... this stands out as my favourite day! Take caution walking around the resort, all paths, stone , cemement and wood are SLIPPERY WHEN WET!!! We had lots of rains, and many near death experiences slipping all over the walks. Thankfully we are both still alive and unbroken to warn you about this! Don't let the dark murky water scare you, its shallow for quite a way out, and if you get out there in those waves, you will feel like a kid again. I spent my last afternoon jumping in those waves, and had so much fun! Evening show times were average, nothing stood out as over the top, there is still room for improvement there. They need to bring something a little more seductive and intriguing into their showtime performances. Several of the performers are there to shine, and a few are happy in the shadows trying to follow along. The disco is beautiful, and i love the light up dance floor, however maybe 20 people can get on it, then it's dangerous, I was afraid i was going to fall off the edge and break an ankle. It is very loud in the disco in an enclosed area like that, so we generally retreated to the hot tub early where it is quieter, and we could enjoy the night sky and some friendly conversation. T

We just returned from 8 nights at this incredibly sexy and beautiful resort. This was our first stay at this property but we have been frequently to Cancun and RM. it’s now our favorite. There’s so much to say good, amenities, playmakers, music, pool, jacuzzi, beach, club, shows, having use of both resorts full restaurants and pools, foam parties, lots of friendly people, weather, new buildings and spaces to explore…it’s going to surpass Mexico we think. Flights were long coming from the west coast of US but we don’t mind. The journey from the airport to resorts was around 1.5 hours but beautiful country. It’s not hard to get transport but book ahead! Don’t pay more than $150 round trip for 2 people. It’s possible by booking online and ahead. The airport arrival is confusing. Be sure you know where you meet your driver. We had no trouble through customs but we made sure we knew the e-ticket requirements for DR. There are no cons for us. This is a new concept for DR, it’s hard to find employees everywhere but with patience and grace anything you find wrong is rectified or planned to be rectified soon. The staff are beautiful and we enjoyed connecting with everyone in some way. Staff shoutouts: Roberto for making me the best “todo” omelette fresh every morning with a huge smile Ana Karen - hostess for breakfast and Asian restaurant. Sweet and helpful Juana - addiction coffee, shy but really opened up and remembered my coffee drink each day Franlin - what can we say, he’s the pool and towel master. Great personality with a great future. Viktor - drinks at pool bar best whiskey sour and huge smile so friendly Bellboy-tall muscular guy, I think it’s Juan, but he was so helpful when we had to move rooms Niky -waiter was everywhere! The best and helped us with extra snacks for our trip home Coffee coffee Sandy! Ay yi yi Elias - behind the scenes hard working and learning to be pool support Food: we enjoyed it, found our favorites and discovered new dishes. We were never hungry that’s for sure! Food choices are available somewhere 24 hours. We loved the Asian restaurant the best, most consistent. Drinks: we aren’t picky but ended up trying a lot of them. Ask around what the drinks are when you see others ordering something. Dirty monkey, mango tango. Yum! Room: we stayed in building 1 in the fantasy suite. It was the base level room but was amazing and had everything we wanted. We had a few electrical issues but after trying to fix it twice they moved us to an even better view on the third floor. We could see the ocean through the trees. 1st room: 01-2015 2nd room: Room 01-3010***
