'To think There's too much seaweed on the beach, you should clear it off!'

is nothing to do with a hotel's fault, and shouldn't be put in as a stick to beat it with and warn others away?!
How the heck is that a valid fault of the hotel?!
Or am I going crazy? Smile

This isn't going to go well you know.

Are you the hotelier?

I think you should get out there, and personally gather up the sea weed.

Oooo is this the blog related one. It's going tits up Grin

underthepalmtrees · 28/05/2012 23:08

Sorry, will explain better! Smile I've just been reading a blog complaining about a horrible holiday, and they're warning people away from the hotel and to stay clear.
There is some valid points like dangerous stuff in it, but complaining because the beach was covered in seaweed and somebody should be clearing it off is surely ridiculous?! It's a beach, FFS! It's meant to have seaweed on it! Grin
Also paella in Spain - um yes, that's also fine, no?!
Am I being unreasonable to think you're going to not get taken seriously with complaints like that, or are they valid niggles?!
I'm starting to question my sanity as I seem to be the only one to think they're not!

It's not the seaweed that bothers me, it's the sand. Too much of the stuff. They really should clear it before I want to sunbathe.

underthepalmtrees · 28/05/2012 23:13

The sangria was another complaint (I take it you read it, too!)
Being made the wrong way?! Um, is there a right or a wrong way to make it? (I need to know, as I love sangria. I could be making it the 'wrong way' for all I know! Pleb that I am. Grin

We were down at Newlyn Fish Market last year just before the Fish Festival and it had been bleached within an inch of its life for the event. I was just about to comment to DH on the annual clean (BIL fishes from there) when we heard a complaint from tourists behind us that it smelt 'too fishy'!

Some people don't deserve to go on holiday - or maybe they leave their brains at home.

MamaMaiasaura · 28/05/2012 23:15

Didn't the OP of the OT also tweet about it ad infinitum?

Surely beaches should actually be covered n crisp fivers rather than seaweed. And gold-plated sharks. And all the staff should be clones of Jonny Depp. Or else it is the Holiday from Hell!

PS. The manager should also know telepathecally when I wish to eat and have my meal on the table as I walk back into the hotel.
