Awful Ending to our Holiday

DH and I have just had a lovely holiday abroad. Left our hotel yesterday in a taxi to go to the airport which is approximately an hour from the hotel. We were about 2 miles from the airport when the hotel contacted us to say when the cleaners were cleaning our room ready for the next occupants they found we had forgotten to empty our safe containing our passports and some other personal possessions. Can't believe we did this as we are usually so organised.

Hotel were fab and organised a taxi to bring the stuff to us and meet us half way. We managed to get our flight with 5 minutes to spare. But when we checked the envelope with our passports in I noticed a little box with some bits of jewellery was missing. DH said perhaps he had packed the box in the case. But we are home and unpacked but no sign of my jewellery. We will phone the hotel shortly and I'm just hoping the cleaners missed the box in the back of the safe. I NEVER take jewellery on holiday but for some reason this year I did. It's some lovely jewellery that DH bought for my 60th birthday and I'm so upset and feel such a fool.

I just hope they find the box and we can arrange to have my jewellery returned.

That's amazing. It really is reassuring to hear things like this. We only usually hear the bad things, which I have to confess is where my mind went when I realised my jewellery had been left behind. I've never been so pleased to be proven wrong!

So pleased for you! Faith in the goodness of people confirmed.
I love a happy ending!

I’m so pleased for you. I have left jewellery behind in a hotel room, but it was ‘not found’ 🙄 Interestingly, we are going to Chania (first time) the first week of October. What is this lovely hotel, with the honest, helpful staff?

I really wasn't expecting a good outcome here but I'm delighted for you op, great news they found your jewellery.

Thagt's lovely, hope you have left them five star reviews on Tripadvisor and Google and their social media pages.

Just a little up-date. My jewellery took a bit longer than expected but it arrived safely this afternoon having gone via Athens and Germany. To say I’m happy is an understatement.

I wanted to wait until my jewellery arrived to do the review for the hotel so I could include the happy ending so will be doing that tonight. It will be a five star review!

You've been very lucky. I left my Kindle at a hotel a few months ago (was reading it in bed and it was tucked between the sheets) I reported it to the hotel within an hour of leaving (I was on the train back home by then) and they didn't even bother to respond. I was gutted.

Oh no! That's awful. Sorry you lost your Kindle. I hope you left them a rubbish review!
