Am on a long-awaited lovely holiday at a European resort. Booked for September as it would be cheaper and quieter, kids back at school etc, but still great weather. We have sun beds by the edge of the pool. Around us are other families (with babies or toddlers), couples etc. It's all been relatively quiet all week which has been so nice and relaxing. Then yesterday a family arrived with 3 children - two clearly school aged - and set up next to us. They were so loud all day, children running around our sun beds shouting, splashing us, a little annoying but I thought understandable (other than why are they not in school?) as they're just kids enjoying their holiday.
An hour ago they arrived at the pool and again have gone for the sunloun
ngers next to us. The kids are shouting and yelling as before. But worse, the mother has decided to play music on her phone, with no headphones. It's been going on for an hour now and it's really irritating me and spoiling my enjoyment. One of the reasons I chose this hotel (I've been here before) was for the peaceful poolside atmosphere (lovely sun beds, no music blasting out etc). I would've moved sunbeds to get away from them but it's filled up now and there aren't many other options.
AIBU to think they are pretty inconsiderate?? Sound of kids playing is fine, inevitable (although they are the only school aged kids here), but why should me and my family - and others around us - be subjected to their music? I want to ask the woman to use headphones but am not bold enough!
