Shoe preference around the beach?

Around the beach, if you wear footwear do you prefer sandals or water shoes? With the sargassum probably not going barefoot, ive not seen a good picture of pristine sand.

First timer question, how are the beds?

Going to Pearl later this month. We hate beds that are too soft, same for pillows too. Can anyone who has been comment on the firmness? We would like to be able to request firm pillows and bed if possible.

Yet another Pearl vs. RM post....or is it?

We (51M/45F) see tons of "which is better" posts that are all subjectively based on someone's personal experience.

We have been to RM three times and experienced the before and after Eden expansion (we loved the before better), we have been to Temptation (hated it) and we have even been to the failed Miches resort...which we actually really enjoyed.

But since we have been to RM it has started to become very 'same' to me so we needed a change. Not to mention the prices at RM are getting stupid. So we have made the switch for this next trip in October to Pearl. We know the prevailing thought is that RM is more party and Desire is more chill, but in reading many posts from many sources, the question for me has become this:

Is there a shift going on?

I am seeing lots of RM vets who say that RM has become another Temptation (and I agree...hence why we spend most of our RM time at the old pool). I am also seeing posts of people suggesting that Pearl is becoming more like what the old RM used to be. Anyone else seeing/feeling this?

So it isn't about which is better/worse than the other...but more about whether things are changing? If so, I am starting to look forward to Pearl...

Thoughts?
