It was quite nice if you like AI resorts. It was basically the same as most in the Carribean.
Yeah all of the upcharges can get annoying these days. I don't have kids but I was annoyed on behalf of all of the parents out there. It would be hard to tell your kids no to the big colorful theme park calling to them like a beacon.
I tend not to like AI resorts as at one time they seemed quite good but I haven't been to an even half decent one in ages. Its like they skimp with everything whilst trying to look like they arent skimping and the food, dont get me started on the food!
Theres no way you could say no to the kids and that would be a hit on the wallet!
We weren't huge on the one AI that we did a while back either. I think most of that sort of thing (cruises also) have made serious cut backs since pre covid times. We tend to get bored at AIs just sitting on the beach all day everyday as well.
Yeah, me too. Soccer people I work with go to AI hotels and literally sit beside the pool so far then at the bar at night and I am like WTF!? Grey pot there and see the place you are visiting!!!
Yeah. Each to his own I guess but I definitely get bored just sitting around. I do know some people who have high stress jobs and busy seasons where they work extra long hours and through weekends for a couple of months and then go on a vacation specifically to just sit and relax and do nothing. So I guess it makes sense to them. I remember when we went to one and I was like "I can't believe that we have been here for 5 days. I don't feel like we've actually done anything" 😂
I don't have a lot of memories of that vacation 😆
Haha, and that's the thing isn't it? If you don't do anything you don't make the memories that will make it stand out. It's a valid point that if you do some crazy high stress job you might rant to kick back and do nowt but I would get bored as feck. My job isn't exactly stress free either!
