What Do You Mean I Can’t Bring My Toddler to Your Adults-Only Resort?
Brynnleigh and I will not stand for this blatant discrimination
Hello! Yes, we have a reservation. We’re so happy to have arrived! This little one could use a nap, and Mommy and Daddy could use an umbrella-fêted cocktail after that flight, as you can imagine.
…Excuse me? What are you talking about? Yes, I know this hotel is labeled as “couples only.” My husband and I are a couple. A couple accompanied by our toddler.
Sir, I don’t think I care for your tone. Let’s not be unreasonable. As you can plainly see, we’re already here. There is no other option at this point but for you to give us the card key to the room we booked when we clicked the “Yes, I understand that no children are permitted at this resort” agreement box.
Of course, I’m aware there are plenty of nearby resorts that allow children. That’s not the issue. I’ll not have you undo the hours I spent researching lodging options before deciding on this as the ideal place for our family vacation. Are you going to deny our daughter the opportunity to get a massage at your award-winning spa, or the joy of ordering a virgin piña colada at the swim-up bar?
