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

[underthepalmtrees]

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?

Ah no I don't think it's nice to mock. I do think the spelling on it is terrible though, not trying to be horrible but it it really is.
What with too much seaweed on the beach, and the sangria's being made the wrong way (is there a wrong way?!) coupled with the appalling spelling, it's not helping her be taken seriously.
If she posted complaining about broken equipment, people being poorly or whatever then fair enough she'd have a point.
The others just look daft though and I'm having versions of the hotel owner being like Basil Fawlty and the complaining guest - "What did you expect to see on the beach instead of seaweed?! A herd of wild wildebeest galloping across it?!

Cinny did you actually SEE the original thread? Nope? Not exactly qualified to say that everyone was sneering at her then are you?

In actual fact the blog has been changed but I can assure you there was a lot of ranting from the writer on there about the temerity of the hotel staff to serve Spanish food (dog fish, calamari), keep to Spanish customs (eating later) and daring to make sangria in a way not sanctioned by the blogger (she actually stood over the staff instructing them if I recall).

In short, the whole thing was rather ridiculous and as far as I can tell the thread went poof because people told her so.

HTH

Apparently seaweed is a sign of a clean and healthy beach so I don't know why people complain! Ok so it looks a bit unsightly but it's nature!!

Snippy, snip, snip!

Anyway, it matters not. I predict this thread will also go poof for turning into a bunfight.

In 3, 2, 1.....

I can't bare to look at that blog again when she changed it did she correct her spelling at all?

After the original thread I looked her up on Twitter and she was ranting and raving about the hotel on there.

Then after she'd had the thread pulled she started posting that MNers had mocked her birthing experience and laughed at her for having PMT. WHICH WAS NOT TRUE.

There was ONE poster that C&P'd an entry on her blog about her birthing experience. That poster was set upon and (deservedly) flamed. I kept the thread open in another window long after it had gone poof and knew exactly who had said what.

I tweeted her with something innoculous like "Now come on love, that's not fair, people were taking the piss out of your holiday entry, not your PND. She replied a few times with a torrent of abuse and then blocked me.

Frankly I think the woman is unhinged.

Just reading the childbirth one...love the way the babies head was dented from being 'rammed into her pelvis repeatedly'. Love the way that it was corrected by the breastfeeding...

hauntedthe power of Breastmilk.

It was a thread on here, not elsewhere. It went poof because it all got a little too revelatory and potentially libellous; and also a bit unneccessarily nasty when the poor OP was clearly somewhat unhinged.

Just looked at twitter and she got offered 200 for her totally ruined holiday.

and if we could please leave the poor sad woman alone now, that would be nice.

It looks like she's also wanting nhs to fund surgery for her awful mummy tummy from 2cs are "large babies".... Do ou think nhs will fund me one from lots of cake as I had ca with ds1 and all babies little fatties

Threads going to go poof soon.

It is a valid point though.

If you market your hotel as laying in a prime location of beauty, with gorgeous landscaped gardens to picnic in, you hardly expect them to be filled with Dandelions?

Similarly, if you have a waterfront hotel, and you market it as a prime seaside location, you bloody well go make it possible to access the very location you advertise, or base your marketing around!

If the beach is full of seaweed, you cant see where you are stepping, you cant get to the water, and it is not possible for children to play properly. They want to seek out places with sand, pebbles, rock-pools and access to the sea.

When we owned a beach (oh I know how this sounds) beach clearing was pretty much categorized along the same lines as gardening!
You spruce up your garden for spring, and you dont leave your beach out!

She also said age was banned from mumsnet and slagged mumsnet off on blog. Oh dear

Oh, there is a backstory.

I hope the owners of the hotel do the only reasonable thing. Clear up their beach and apologize that the holidaymakers were disappointed. Privately, offer the holiday maker a free weekend, to come and check out the facilities once the beach has been cleared. If they do this, they will be on to a winner with all the free marketing!

She's changed it tho quint. Her complaint was a lot more silly initially. Mn actually hell her in a way, as she was able to edit it so she sounded less racist and more reasonable

I agree in some respects Quint, but when you read the other TripAdviser reviews of the hotel they are nowhere near as bad as the blogger makes out - and some of her complaints were ridiculous, bordering on Xenophobic (I think that's the right word - basically complaining about a Spanish hotel being too Spanish, and very rudely)

MamaMaisaura - you really need to quit the birthing postings - its not what this thread is about and it is very very wrong to bring it up. That is NOT what this site is about - we support mothers, not take the piss when things go wrong. The poor woman had a terrible experience and writing about it is probably a release.

I don't care about her holiday, and think her complaints are generally off the wall. I also think she is bloody rude and entitled. But have every sympathy for her over the birth of her children and her experience of motherhood.

I have not seen the blog.

I dont know the backstory. I am commenting ONLY on the seaweed situation in general.

Holy shit. I just read a fair bit of her twitter and feel quite . She's unhinged, really she is. To the point that homestart charity who has to stop helping her being slated. The amount of tweets re Thomas cook is bordering on obsessive. I feel quite bad now for poking fun. She really isn't well

Lt - that wasnt the birthing posts. It was a tweet about surgery

Actually lte please can you copy we're I have said about birth. The only comment was in relation to tweet about surgery for mummy tummy.
