Short Summary
Visiting Cranky Grandparents
Comments:
Upon arriving late at this age restricted community, with no reservations, we were charged full price to spend the night in a parking lot -- pending an assigned space in the morning. The gentleman that parked us that night; did so with military precision, standing right upon the left side view mirror as we parked our RV. He seemed to have no regard for the possibility of loosing a foot in the maneuver.. . Not having been given any suggestions or alternatives to where we should walk our pets the next morning, we considerately kept the pets tightly leashed and vigilantly grabbed all solid excavations as quickly as they were released. However, this wasn't enough for a piece of flotsam in the pool who crassly accused us of allowing our pets to run helter skelter across the shuffleboard court (not even a infinitesimal possibility that we would have ever done it.). Once we were parked in our assigned spot (again directed with military precision) there were signs for don'ts (NO PETS ALLOWED PAST this point, and NO SMOKING PAST THIS POINT) clearly posted throughout the park. This further intensified the feeling of visiting someone who really didn't want you there to begin with. Most of the workers we talked with were congenial and considerate. However the feeling that there are some tightly wound people directing the environment, in which they are most likely; temporary residents, pervaded our interpretation of this tense "resort". We not only would NOT go back, but would advise anyone who appreciates the art of good manners and hospitality to give it a second thought, as Valle Del Oro anything but inviting and relaxing.
