the entire island. It's a little scary.

I'd say no, but then my opinion could well be biased ;)

Hiya! London here.
I used to go to Sandown on the Island twice a year. Lovely place. Lots of old people.
Heya, how come you go to Sandown twice a year?
Oh, I haven't been for like 5 years now. I used to go there when I had no money, but still wanted a kind of holiday. There was (is?) this place in Sandown, right on the seafront where we would rent a little studio flat thing with a massive balcony, but no private bathroom (which didn't really bother me much as there were plenty of toilets and bath/shower rooms across the hall, so I never had to wait or anything) and they only charged £80 a week +VAT for 2 people. I think that was about £94 iirc, or £47 each, for 7 nights. Crazy cheap. So yeah, we just kept going back there because it was a cheap getaway thing.
