PORT ROYAL Posted May 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Since you post the saying so often, you may want to know the word is towels. Towels and herds. Happy to give definitions TOWLES: Arrive by the cheapest means; take the most annoying spot on the beach to spoil a view of paying clients; spread the ship's Towles; constantly repeat the mantra "beaches are free" like a demented parrot; do not spend anything at the resort; bring food and drink browsed from the ship's buffet, all wrapped in a ship's napkin; bury their picnic debris in the sand; use the sea, beach and all the venue's facilities for free; return to the ship by the cheapest means. Then when back in the Ship boast they spent the day at Carambola (et al) taking lunch and drinks there. HERDS: Arrive loudly en masse; stay loudly; have shouting conversations on their mobiles, or to other herd members, albeit 2 feet or 20 yards way; bring coolers full of Supermarket bought beer and food, then demand ice for free; bring boom boxes and play on highest volume; sometimes pay for beds but can insist a colony of friends is created; complain about the price of venue's food as the reason for buying a single slice of pizza. Seek to use Hotel or Beach facilities for free, failing that, turn the sea into a Urinal (aka going for a swim) Abuse or ridicule other guests, members of the venue's staff, solely for the group's amusement. Basically, to knowingly do everything possible to spoil the ambience of the venue, and to annoy as many people as it is physically possible. Then leave loudly en masse. Other items of annoyance can be added to each of the above definitions as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger-13 Posted July 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2018 My DH and I love a great beach day and we've been Antigua three times, and to Darkwood beach twice now - the first time was two years ago the last time was Nov 2017. Our first visit we were blown away by the beauty, the quiet (in comparison to many touristy locations throughout the Caribbean), the great food, service and reasonable costs of drinks. Our last visit there we noticed that they jacked up the prices for food and drinks, all of the lounge chairs were falling apart (and since we were the first couple there and had first choice of the "best" ones) and the costs of food and drinks had gone up quite a bit. Still friendly people though and an amazing beach location, but when we go back to Antigua in December we will be trying out Ffryes this time - our driver also said its a better location.
