o.k off to the pool now for some seriouse sunbathing, not too bad, good clean pool area , and pool, poolside bar , same drinks , fanta, coke, beer, or the cocktail of the day, and as many cigarettes as you could smoke , I dont smoke , my wife ,and boy does'nt , but we all did most of the day by the pool , as everyone around us was , so we just had to passively join in, great , we were like kippers at the end of day, well smoked.

I can't remember which hotel it was, but it was one in London. The reviewer was going on about the mafia trying to break into their room first thing in the morning. From the way they described what had happened I couldn't help thinking 'Er, that would have been housekeeping, love'.

At least the Italian prostitutes have the decency to wipe themselves down after a little sojourn in the bushes. Different gravy.

at the 'Gang-Bangers' out to terrorise the locals by hitting cars with leaves.

The Spanish and the prostitutes don't come off well on Trip Advisor. Shame.

weyhey, just spotted its now in classics!

a toast...

I saw several packs of young gang-bangers, and they were not looking to do good deeds. Several of the last gang tore fronds off of palm plants and were whacking cars with them as they walked along.

Bastard tree maimer gang-bangers. bet they were Spanish

And I'll give a Wispa to the first person who can guess this person's nationality:

'You would be real tired if you walked from this place to Disneyland, over a half of mile walk.'

too scared doh

'The door to our room had been kicked in before.

The "Continental Breakfast" consisted of stale, ancient individually wrapped lil' debbie snacky-cakes of some sort, and coffee that tasted like lukewarm dirtwater. It was tastefully served in the pool maintenance room.

There was gang activity on the streets at night when we were getting back from the parks. The walk is long, and along very dark streets. I saw several packs of young gang-bangers, and they were not looking to do good deeds. Several of the last gang tore fronds off of palm plants and were whacking cars with them as they walked along. Not good. Not good at all.

The homeless people that were asking for money the second we got out of our room was bad. I do feel for them, I really do. But it was insanity. And when there was finally a schizophrenic transvestite standing outside the hotel on the corner talking to him/herself in a very, very loud voice, I just got incredibly annoyed and terrified at the same time.

The walk is looooooooooooooooong to get to the parks. Don't believe their lies that it's "directly behind DCA". That is just an out-and-out lie. Period. And as I stated earlier, the homeless and the schizophrenic transvestite were there during the DAY. At night, you are literally looking all around you as you find your way back along dark, scary streets with no cops around and tons of people who would gladly do something bad to you just to entertain themselves.'

There is more of this review but am hiding under my work desk to scare to post it

A shortened version from a Saga holiday near Naples

went with Saga all inclusive/ one of the worst holidays have ever been on. No entertainment, a pool table with only one cue which you had to put your name down the day before to play.

The village nearby was a red light district and extremely rough, we were told by the police not to walk there after being propositioned half a dozen times by men in cars. The marina just outside the village was this horrible filthy place with no boats but several dead bodies of animals floating about. The prostitutes were everywhere around that area, unlike ours they had a chair to sit on, we first spotted one coming out of the bushes wiping herself down, at first we were all amazed, this was on the main road to Naples.

We didn't go to Naples, Saga expected us to go for nightlife, but we were arned not to. Some went on a day trip and finished up going round on a tour bus the whole day till the coach came to pick them up, it was so rough they darn't get off.

at riding around on the bus all day too scared to get off, Naples is a bit dodgy in places but not that bad.

Obviously the wildlife didn't get the memo that they're supposed to stay outside the accomodation areas. Pscha

once in the room we decided to have a cup of tea so filled the kettle with fresh water but then a smell off urine filled the room when the kettle boiled so i unplugged it ready to take down to reception,

reviews for here, which is a camp, in the middle of the Kruger National Park, which is filled with animals and everything

"The rooms were somewhat clean, spiderwebs hanging all over the ceiling (didn't know what was going to crawl on us at night), ant problem in the bathroom, etc."
"with spiders and ants."

What the bloody hell do you expect being in the middle of the bush?

We stayed there and found two small rodents living in the shower but a) you're in the middle of a huge national park, wildlife is expected b) they were cleared out by the staff pretty quickly

rationed meat and no veg and pots! surely you can expect these in Cancun.

jenai thank you, but i can't even select stuff. boo!

I'll just keep reading all these wee gems!

"We stayed at this hotel for eight nights and were told we would receive a continental breakfast each morning. We were disgusted to learn that the continental breakfast we were served consisted of coffee, juice and three types of "mini donuts". When I complained to the non English speaking staff member at the front counter, he told me that this is what continental breakfast normally consists of. Well, I know from staying at various other hotels, that this is not the case. In fact, we've always been served toast, waffles, sometimes, bacon and eggs, etc. The staff was supposed to direct us to our time share presentation but didn't have a clue where this was taking place or any other directions we asked about, locally. The pool was nice; they said the pool hours were until 9:00pm, however, we were in there until 11:00 because the gates were never locked so feel free to ignore closing pool hours. By the way, at night, there is only one staff member at the desk. Parking lot is never full, therefore, setting the mood that this place would not be one's first choice to stay at."

Donuts for breakfast is at least as continental as waffles and bacon and eggs! No?

The Adlephi in Liverpool is a positive goldmine for negative reviews

We visited on christmas day and we paid £45 per head for 5 of us.The meal was not worth the amount it cost,and it was badly organised.We was greeted and taken to our table then we was given a choice of starter which was ok.For our main course we had to queue up,for either beef or turkey,which was ok but a mouse would of needed more,then we had to choose our own veg which was very poor and cold.The choice was limited and my son who doesnt like carrot and turnip,there was no alternative and they served cauliflower cheese,which in our opinion is not suitable with a christams dinner!! The dessert was poor too,the profiroles were hard and dry.The quality of the christmas crackers on the tables well,i would say poundland had better crackers!! There was no atmosphere either,not even any background music!! Santa came around as we ate our meal,and he looked pig sick too along with his elf!! After our meal we tried to round the day off with some drinks but we wasnt allowed to stay in the same room so we went to another part of the hotel,which was cold and draughty and we was the only 5 people in there! I am sorry but the adelphi did not live up to our expectations and we will not be returning next christmas.

I. am currently staying at the Adelphi. I. have asked to speak to the manager but as yet nothing. I. am a disabled person using a wheelchair. I. belong to several national disability organisations and have stayed in hotels throughout the uk. It is many years since I have been so humiliated and so injured by the experience of the last 24 hours. Movement in out and aroumd the hptel is cpntrolled by the availability of staff. I have sat outside in the cold for mins each time and am now ill as a consequence. Once in there have been further long waits for the man wih the key to operate the disability lifts. The one outside Jennys does not work. initially my weight was blamed. myself and my powerchair are 100kgs less than the max capacity. my chair is heavy I NOT. consequently I could not access breakfast. the other two disability lifts worked in a heath robinson manner and I required supervisipn. service lifts were tempramental and required staff to run up and down stairs to press call buttons. I. have dreaded leaving my room to engage in these arduous treks through kitchens, back areas amd places I. should not be as a guest. I have not however been a guest, just an object to be moved from a to b via n t and y. My saving grace has been Alex the porter who has been kindness and care in all of our treks around the back lanes of the adelphi. My thanks to him for his professionalism. I. dread Sunday morning as it is not his shift! My advice to disabled travellers is prepare fpr a trip back in time to 1914 when we were depemdent bags of potatoes who spent life incarcerated silently in Institutipns that kept us out of the public eye or in the Adelphis case out in the cold. Thankfully we now have rights and access to redress.

This one isn't funny really - it's more of a cry for help
