With these extra details, it doesn't sound so awful anymore. You two do need to reach a compromise on what to do with a cranky toddler and going back to the room should probably be a last resort. Trading off riding with the older child and entertaining the younger one should work. If he's content in the stroller, but just needs to cool off, you can always go into a gift shop. Finding ducks or squirrels to watch while resting on a bench could entertain a toddler. My daughter was sure enamoured with the ducks and the lizards at 7 so a toddler may enjoy the wildlife as a distraction. Or bubbles? I've heard some people bring them from home and toss one in the stroller for little distractions. Those bubble machines are pricey, but I think there are little party favor packs you can get that are pretty small for just a small dose of bubbles. Definitely any spot where he can safely stretch his legs, not sure if he'll be a sturdy walker by then or not. Kids are so different, he could be running by then. LOL!
I think you should definitely look for ways to loosen up and not see going back to the resort as the only solution, just like hubby should probably be a little more sensitive to a cranky baby and stressed out mommy.
