all British

We were not accustomed to all the British. They have tea time at 4 pm and take their time to eat at every meal. It was very different because, like most Americans, we're used to rushing everything. My boyfriend felt out of place because we got a lot of dirty looks. We said it was like we were the "outsiders." Don't get me wrong, not everyone was nasty, we did meet a very nice couple, but for the most part they were quite rude. Nobody says excuse me, they just push you out of the way.

The waves

We had a red flag every day, except one when it was yellow. At one point the waves were so rough, i felt like i was going to drown. I got scared when my feet couldn't feel the sand and i was only a couple feet off the beach. You can't float and relax in this type of water. It was like the Jersey shore with the harsh waves crashing against your body. The water is crystal clear, but your better off in the pool.

The resort

We were not used to the relaxed setting. When you arrive, they tell you to sit on the couch and they bring you a drink. We were wondering why they weren't checking us in, but they want you to relax. We were confused. The resort is very small, but well organized. There was a ceiling over all the walkways for when it rains, you won't get wet. The buffet was average, good enough for us. We went to the restaurant on the beach twice for dinner because it was a nice setting and the food was good.
