The place we are staying has a sister resort right next door, and we have free access to all their facilities, including the bar and restaurant. The latter shares the same kitchen, in fact, but the ambiance of the two restaurants is quite different. In the evening, if you decide you aren’t in the mood for the local crooner with his version of Sweet Caroline on the keyboards, you can go next door and listen to the other local crooner doing the same songs, but accompanied by the ukulele.
Our resort is child free. Why put up with all the hassle associated with child friendly places if you don’t have to? Crying babies, tantruming toddlers, unidentified floaters in the pool – who needs it? We have swapped that for badly behaved young adults. Drunken parties, rowdy young men, giggling squealing young women – ending up with people trying to get into our room at 1 am, complaining loudly and wanting to talk to management because their bloody key card isn’t working again. They seem much quieter this morning though.
