    Kinda loathe to bring this up again, but seems things are getting kinda ridiculous.

    Chatting to people on the Boobs Cruise yesterday and also saw a report of it here from ibcruzzin, but this week there is a group of single guys at the hotel with a batchelor party - and there are 42 of them!

    Of course they are English (as usual) hassling ladies, drinking far too much and basically making trouble wherever they go.

    I have nothing against singles or small groups of singles but 42 in one group! Surely TTR should take a leaf out of the popular resorts in Europe that Brits visit and limit same sex single groups to no more than a handful per group. It totally changes the vibe and not in a good way imho.

    Fill out those comment cards people!

    Not sure how a business is going to say no to reservations.

    I do agree that a bunch of Brits (especially with how we hear it is promoted over there) are not what the resort needs. In the long run it will cost the resort more than it will gain.

    Steve perhaps we should address the root problem here. TTR needs to aggressively market to the Swedish bikini team demographic! I could accept something that limits the number of non-couple bookings given to large groups but otherwise I may have to have words with you on a boat somewhere in the Carribean Sea soon!

    Well I will have drunken words with you I am sure on a boat soon now that I think about it! :)

    So it's only English singles that hassle women is it ??? Honestly Steve you could have phrased that a bit better. We're coming in 4 weeks for our first time and after reading on here that EVERYONE is welcome we now feel that we are going to be tarred with that particular brush.
    When we booked through Thomson holidays it was marketed as an adults only resort and that's all.

    Totally agree with you Steve on this one

    Limit the size of single groups. ( unless its the playmate of the month club) Maybe give discounts to single females to even the numbers out??

    Hedo had (has?) a major problem with European soccer teams storming their resorts
    totally ruins the vibe.Hope this is not a new trend.One of the Hedo's is closed now maybe thats were they came from.


    Good on you for having the courage to point the finger at a specific group of people .You are there all the time and it is your observation.

    I don't like when people pull the racist card when their group of people is single out. It's not racist , its observation.

    See you soon

    i could see that big of a group being trouble, kind of like a pack of wolfs. they get courage in large numbers. but then again they may be a flock of angles....lol

    No way I was pulling out the racist card. If you make observation of the spring break thread I think you'll find that the problem is more universal.

    Sorry I posted that. You said ""english'' which points to a race
    sorry don't want to change the theme of this thread.
    ps I was born in England and did not take offense.

    May we continue with the group issue. :daveandmo:
