nicole, we stayed in a hotel last year where you could eat inside the dining room or on a terrace overlooking the sea which led from the dining room, most people opted for the terrace as the dining room had no aircon and it really was hot in there. Some people did chose to sit in there though but then again it wasn't a requirement to wear long trousers :D

Yes shell..i think our hotel has an outside bit as well..but wherever we eat i think it will be blooming hot!!..nicole

It will nicole but you hopefully you'll adjust to the heat and you may be lucky and have a breeze. It was very breezy in Crete last year and it did make it more bearable of an evening :D

Why not just see it as another holidaying choice...I don't particularly want to ge to a hotel that has a kids club...see that in the description and I would choose another.

So if you see a hotel that wants men to wear trousers in the evening and you don't like the idea then choose another property if it really is such a big deal to you.

And also i dont think hubby wants to wear a cheap pair of chinos from matalan as someone suggested...he would rather wear a nice pair of jeans really..its me who thinks he will need to wear shorts because of the heat...nicole

Sorry ndshelton I wasn't addressing that comment at you in particular, just a contribution to the whole thread :)

I have to say when I'm holidaying in hot countries (the Far East) jeans are the most uncomfortable thing to wear, much better off with looser fitting clothing. You could always treat him to some expensive chinos. :)

One plus for long trousers is they stop your legs getting bitten by mozzies in the evening.

Why don't you get your hubby to go down to the restaurant in long trousers, then when youv'e ate all he has to do is go back up to the room and change. Most hotels these days let men in with 3/4 lengths. I think it's the short sporty looking shorts they object too!

As you will note from my name I live and work in Qatar in the Gulf,at present here its +/- 45c I wear LONG TROUSERS to work Chinos,so I am sure 1.5hrs in long trousers in an Air cond restaurant isnt going to hurt anyone.
