Not so much of an Escape

Even Merrier Christmas!

We woke up to another sunny morning, and headed to the breakfast buffet, no made-to-order this time, only the mediocre buffet.

After breakfast we lounged in our villa to watch more American Horror Story.

Then lunch was once again the buffet. And we started to feel disappointed. The Telunas website had indicated there would be 2 course lunches, and 3 course dinners every day alongside the breakfast buffet. This meal change coincided with a number of other families showing up with many children.

We were expecting a private, mostly adult, getaway. Hanging out on the beach, eating good food, and chillin on a beach were our prime expectations. Of the 15 villas here, 3 (including us) are couples, the rest are families with in most cases more than one child.

So our experience was different from what we were expecting. We decided to go kayaking around the island and discuss how we were going to address this situation.

After the kayaking, we went back to our villa and finalized our plan of attack for addressing this issue.

We decided to talk to a manager, and check out the website, see what it is actually printed on the website to see if we had built up unreasonable expectations.

It turns out the website didnt entirely mislead us, we focused on the adult centric activities, reading what we wanted to, and we figured this place would be able to accommodate both the children and the children-avoiders.

So we spoke to the manager to tell him what we were expecting and made some suggestions on how to make it better for future guests like us. He seemed genuinely grateful to hear the suggestions and understood where we were coming from with our expectations. He offered us one of the private dinners so that we can get away from the kids for a little while.

Unfortunately the weather didnt agree with our plans. It started drizzling, and the wind started blowing. So we took our dinner in the normal area. The food was good, back to the A La Cart Menu.

After dinner we went back to the villa to watch more AHS and go to sleep.
