What's wrong with hotel? Can you be moved?

Greensleeves · 05/09/2022 18:33

Oh no, what a nightmare Sad

What's awful about it? Is it dirty/bad food/noisy/nothing to do? Are the problems things the staff can fix?

Ilikewinter · 05/09/2022 18:34

Whats so awful about it?..... do you at least have nice weather!

Littlemissprosecco · 05/09/2022 18:34

Can’t you slope off to a local beach somewhere and enjoy turkey itself. Come back, take some of your all inc booze to your room and sleep it off!!

Roselilly36 · 05/09/2022 18:35

That’s a shame, what don’t you like about it? Can you make the best of it, enjoy the weather/pool etc. holidays rarely live up to expectations IMHO.

Choconut · 05/09/2022 18:35

Oh no how horrible. Whereabouts are you? What's making you hate it so much?

Littlemissprosecco · 05/09/2022 18:35

Or have sooo much of that all inc booze that you just won’t care anymore!!

Penguinsaregreat · 05/09/2022 18:36

Depends what’s wrong with the holiday.

Ilovemycatalot · 05/09/2022 18:37

Dirty hotel random drunks walking about at night making you feel unsafe.. Pervy men honestly not one to complain but this is bad. plus food is disgusting and no one speaks English well so hard to express yourself.

which hotel is it?

catwithflowers · 05/09/2022 18:38

🙈. I'm going on my first all inclusive holiday next year with my daughter. Watching this thread with interest 😳

GrandSlamFinalee · 05/09/2022 18:38

How many books did you bring and is there decent WiFi? Grin

Can you leave the resort and do some local excursions?

Mamamia7962 · 05/09/2022 18:38

If your room isn't very nice, ie dirty or things not working properly then complain and ask to be moved to a better one.

Ilovemycatalot · 05/09/2022 18:38

Looking after my daughter so can’t get drunk unfortunately

I would be calling whoever you booked the holiday through. Was it a big holiday operator or well-known European provider?

Are the drunks on the hotel grounds?

Damnautocorrect · 05/09/2022 18:40

shit. The safety thing is a problem isn’t it.
is the rep there?

Ilovemycatalot · 05/09/2022 18:41

Already had to pay £250 on arrival to upgrade as the room I thought I had booked wasn’t the one I got when I arrived. It’s a con apparently they do that to a lot of people.

Is there a rep you can contact and complain and ask to move?

honkeytonkwoman38 · 05/09/2022 18:41

Oh god why did you book Turkey then if you don't like Turkish food? It's well known Turkish men are letchy and I'm sorry but you're in their country why should everyone speak English?!

Ilovemycatalot · 05/09/2022 18:42

No rep well just a Turkish guy that says he works for the travel agents but no English rep here
