To think don't go to a family focused holiday place if you don't want to be around children!

On holiday at a small apartment complex which advertises itself heavily on being family and young child friendly. The owners are very hands on and have been absolutely lovely with us and our DC one of whom is an 18 month old.

Anyway, today round the pool there was an older couple with no DC who sat by us on some sun loungers and then proceeded all afternoon to tut and look at each other / mutter to each other whenever our youngest made a noise. He wasn't bad, just a typical 18 month old. A couple of whinges throughout the afternoon, one short cry when he fell and then the odd shout / shriek when playing with his brother and dad in the pool.

AIBU to think why go to a place like this (it's all over their website and description on booking sites that it's for families) if you don't want to be disturbed by small kids and why sit next to a family with a small child even more so and then moan about it?!

There were other DC around too making more noise than us but our youngest is one of only 2 babies I've seen here so far (only a handful of apartments in the complex).

People seem to have assumed that this couple were childless but we don't know that do we? They might have grown up children and be grandparents.
