Thank you so much for uploading this. We holidayed here in 1993 and it really was the holiday from hell. I was talking to my parents about it and I said that it had featured on this programme and I would try and find out when. I had no idea I’d find the episode here on KZread. So I am very very grateful to you for uploading this. Whilst holidaying here, we saw frogs in the pool, algae and poo in the pool. There was a wild horse running wild in the tennis courts (that had no nets). Ants and cockroaches in the room and double doors that led out to a forest of nettles. Never again.

There probably weren't any other hotels to easily have moved to, plus they very likely couldn't have just charged a substantial amount of money on top of what they'd already paid for the package.

Luckily for me, TripAdvisor and Google earth were created in 2000/2001, so Before spending thousands of £s on ANY holiday I always do research before giving the grinning travel agents my hard earned cash . I went Dominican republic, avoided hurricane season and researched the area with Google earth, had a great time. Long live the internet 👍🏻

The worst holiday experiences... I had a few rooms that sucked, I missed a flight home and had to pay for another ticket, I had a night in a hostel with a snoring bunk mate, some bad weather and your regular scam artists trying. But all in all nothing quite this bad and I actually had a lot of great memories on vacation. I find I do get bored with any new place after about 3 days which is ok since it means I can pack a lot more fun into a few weeks.

Mind you, I booked a hotel in Sofia online, then referred to the map and got on a bus or a train. Mountains, forests, rivers, and avoided anything with a pool! Keep moving and do a Goldilocks. Lovely place, nice people, cheapo. If I had wanted Butlins I would’ve stayed in the UK. (70-year-old lone trekker 😈🇬🇧)

+Brenda R I have been to Cuba many times starting in the 80's. I have travelled the Carribean extensively, but Cuba is my love. The one place I truly loved was Club Bucanero, sadly it was destroyed by a hurricane. Will go again in November but I am so worried the US will muck it up with their Burger King's and all sorts of other fast food places. I gave my view on Cuba before I saw what happened to the tourists. I have never seen any part of Havana looking like that honestly. I would be pissed as well. When you pay for an all inclusive trip and you think it is a 5 star it is usually a 3. All inclusive includes air fare, room and board and all you can drink. Those that drink do just that drink from sun up to sundown. Ask around before you go on ANY all inclusive. Cockroaches - I saw 2 while I was in Cuba. Cockroaches are the norm in Key Largo, Florida, Bermuda, Bahamas, they do not discriminate they will set up house in any warm country. As for being prettied up, that video is not at all representative of the whole of Cuba. You will find a few hotels that are 250US a night that cater to deep sea divers from all over the world. Too bad they only showed a down side one.

What wrong with fast food joints?I don't patronize them but so many people do. I am sure many many Cuban people would like to have a variety offood choices. Don't you?Oh I forgot, recently I was in Oranjestad and I did eat at a McDonalds.The culture and loveliness of the city hadn't dimmed and the Arubansseemed to be just as Aruban before and after I ate there.Not bad food.

Of course I complained for both, politely, concisely, for both registered mail, and there were no resolutions. In both cases, also, other vacationers scapegoated me and nothing was done to defend me when I asked. My spouse saw the first one and certainly did speak up but to no avail.

What's funny is my holiday from hell was in London. My father dragged me there in late December and I was fully aware of how brutal British winters can be. I F-F-FROZE so badly that I wanted to die. I took a lot of pictures but thanks to the constantly gloomy British weather, my holiday pics looked just as gloomy too! Oh, well, the locals were friendly and at least I got to see some historical sites such as the Tower of London and saw the changing of the guard at the palace. My holiday was cut short when I caught the flu so it was back home, stuck in bed for a week! I think if the hotel manager had been a real life Basil Fawlty that would have been the final straw and I would have thrown myself from the nearest bridge, praying the Thames would make my death quick...
