When a situation is under control, we pay no attention to the organization. We just enjoy ourselves. But many folks come to Playa Royale or Paradise Village and involve themselves with the management of the place. They seem to be continuously on a crusade to make things better. For many years, the same three people were at the front desk. They were efficient and pleasant. They greeted us effusively when we arrived and always called us by name. Then one young man was fired for doing something he should have never done. He was asked by an owner to drive his car once a week while the owner was away. The other workers knew and said nothing so they were fired too.
Several friends here wanted us to contact management on behalf of the workers. My response was that we had no business being involved with management decisions when it does not interfere with our pleasure. The new people are excellent. We just do not know them as well. We stay in the back seat and allow the managers of the place to make their decisions.
People get upset when they can not obtain a palapa, the little thatched roofs that provide shade by the pool and the beach. Folks go down early and put their bags on the chairs to save the palapa for them selves. But the rules state that you must not leave your belongings on a palapa for over an hour, if you are not there. Every so often, a security man removes towels and bags, if the palapa is left unattended. Whoopee. The sparks fly. I am astonished how upset people get over something so simple. There are lots of chairs of all kinds. Some want more rules and some folks want no rules. I just laugh. We take a back seat when it comes to making or enforcing rules. Our goal is to enjoy ourselves, not to spend our time micro managing the place and to complain. Everything seems fine for us.
