Morocco.
Glad I went but didn't like the fact that you are virtually a prisoner in the hotel complex, venture out at your peril.
Harassment literally the second you walk out of the hotel plus husband got very very sick. |

Pontins, Southport.
What a shithole. Never known anything like it. Good job it was a Wowcher and only cost £40 for 3 nights. I stayed for 1 of them then went back home |

malts, full of d*unk english football fans when we were ther, no idea why as there was no match going on, therefore if you were english you got treated the same, plus no birds to listen to in the morning, as they shoot and eat them, very odd to not wake to birdsong |

"Jaywick. The sea views are admittedly lovely…..but then you turn around and behold the town….  "
Oddly I quite like Jaywick. It's a vibe for sure. I hung out in the 'Never Say Die' for a few pints and found the locals surprisingly welcoming of a random who was up from Devon. I don't think it is classed as a holiday destination thes days though, most people there are permanent residents as far as I can tell. |

Biarritz. Was expecting a lot more and very underwhelming and bland. If it ever was supposed to be grand, flashy and classy it must’ve been a long time ago. It still charges prices like Monte Carlo though |

"Tunisia. Never ever ever to return. Ever! "
I was just about to mention that one. Went on a cheap off season package deal with the ex. People were generally quite pleasant (it helps that I speak fluent French and a decent bit of Arabic) but there was no getting away from the fact that the whole place was strewn with rubbish, they weren't very keen on foreigners wandering about the place outside of the hotel compounds and there was obviously a heightened security alert going on at the time, the whole place seemed very edgy. Then a matter of a day or two after our visit there was a museum attack in which a few tourists were killed, which was alarming as we had almost gone there ourselves but decided to do a different trip instead. Also the food was pretty awful just about everywhere we went, I know it's a developing country and people aren't that well off but compared to Moroccan or Egyptian cuisine it's sadly lacking. |

"France and America
French full of shit
America cowards of the world "
The french are amazing. They don't care where you are from, how much money you are spending, upper class or lower class. Your a tourist and an irritant to them. And if you don't like it, Le fuck off home. I love their attitude. |

It is just a hub for new wealth and the vulgarities that come with it |

I won’t go back to that area, found it dreadful & really lacklustre."
Yes some are but it all depends where you go, what you do and what you are looking from a holiday. Some places in Portugal are amazing, out of the tourist area. Spain has great places too. Some of the Greek Isles are just awesome and best hospitality I ever experienced. Not to mention the food which, as a bit of a foodie, just love. You just need to get away from the tourist areas I think. My opinion anyway. |

We’ve been lucky that everywhere we’ve been we’ve enjoyed. Tunisia was probably the worst but that was only because of the terror threat. Other than that the hotel was amazing and the locals were friendly. |

I guess it's what you want from a holiday
My ex was happy to sit round a pool or on a hotel beach for a fortnight so 'resort' hotels suited her fine
I prefer to get up and mooch about so any destination that is hotel based for 'security' reasons just isn't for me
My current partner point blank refuses to travel anywhere where being LGBT is illegal or culturally unacceptable, so that takes a hell of a lot of the globe off the travel map |

I’ve been to some shocking holiday camps since having kids. Caravans that are disgusting, parks that are littered with rubbish and just an air of having seen better days, but I think I’ve scrubbed their locations from my mind, because I can’t remember their names.

Tunisia, Port El Kanatoui. Been twice as I thought I’d give it a second try. I just wasn’t left in peace and considering the hotel next to mine was shot up the week after we left it’s a no go ever again for me. Also Lorrete De Mar, should maybe have researched that one before we left though |

We holiday in our camper so just drive on by if a place is rubbish.
The only disappointing holiday I remember was Butlin's. I worked there when I was younger and thought if would be fun to take our children when they were little. All the nice parts seemed liked they'd been replaced. Self service restaurants, more theme park, less entertainers. Was nothing like I remembered it.
One of the ones I worked at was Skegness and even that was good fun back then. |

"So Canary Islands.
Boaring horrible beach and going out at night constantly harassed to go into chappy nightclubs"
We're currently in Tenerife. There's lots of Tenerife beyond the Las Américas and Los Cristianos bit. We spent most of today up a mountain and in the gorgeous pine forest. Currently listening to the sea crashing against the harbour wall and not a nightclub in sight (or sound). We'd never stay in the main tourist resorts either.... |

Any of the main Canary Islands.
La Gomera and La Palma are quite nice when the volcano is not going whammo.
I enjoyed Morocco a lot but can see why people find it too much.
Jamaica was like a five star prison camp. Which was a shame as I do like getting out and about.

Parts of Torquay/Torbay are actually very affluent still but there is a lot of deprivation and social inequality just like a lot of English seaside former resort towns. If Brighton wasn't within commuting distance to London it'd be even worse IMO |

There's good and bad everywhere
I've been to both those countries and found that the majority of regular people are lovely but there's a substantial element who simultaneously don't respect or like dealing with foreigners but also see them as their main or only source of income, and they tend to colour ones impression of the place as a whole. |

That mixed reception you refer to is it a good recipe for a holiday destination. There are plenty of holiday destinations where visitors are genuinely welcome rather than openly resented. |

Cairo was horrific from the moment I stepped off the bus
Couldn't find my hotel and asked at another hotel reception for directions. They claimed they'd never heard of it but said they had a room available. It was very late at night so I agreed. Next morning when I checked out the same guy gave me directions to the hotel I had booked and knew exactly where it was, about 50 metres away. That pretty much set the tone for my whole stay
Then the hotel where I was supposed to be staying arranged taxi rides to the pyramids but said me and my friend couldn't share a taxi and had to travel separately
Every day was a struggle to keep ourselves from being fleeced. Couldn't wait to leave |

Best story I hear on Egyptian ripoffs was a tourist asking if he could have a photo of his wife with a camel. The lads were very helpful and said she could have a photo ON the camel, and helped her up, refusing the tourist’s offer of 5 or 10 dollars. He took the pics, thanked the lads and said right, can we get her down now please. “Yes sir; that will be 50 dollars”. |

Ha! Reminds me when I rode with my young daughter up to the pyramids at Gisa on camels. When we got to the top the guy asked for more money to let us down.
I took out my water had a sip, sat back comfortably and said "No, we will sit up here all afternoon and wait till you let us down. You will earn nothing and when the police come they will tell you to let us down." Both camels were told to sit immediately. |

I never thought will go but did once out of season and parts were really pleasant, especially around old town and there was hardly any tourists, just spanish people local or visiting themeselves. I was surprised but enjoyed it and there are dsome very nice areas to visit only a few miles away too. I am not saying is somewhere I can't wait to go again but not too bad at all out of season. |

"Also dubai, hated that place with a passion... theres no soul at all its just frustratingly terrible. "
... and then there’s the fact that the place runs on poorly paid workers, in dangerous conditions. The way workers in the building industry are treated is shocking. Hard to stomach sitting in a gaudy luxurious hotel, knowing the way the builders were treated. Thousands of deaths on construction sites.
I know some locals, and they justify the treatment of these workers, mainly from the Indian subcontinent, by saying that before the UAE got rich, the boot was on the other foot and it was the locals who were treated like shit. |

It's most definitely not standard in Jamaica. We've never heard of anyone coming back with fingers missing. It sounds like an expensive hotel! |

I didn’t enjoy Dublin, I walked into a pub and my two friends had gone in and upto the bar just before me and everybody noticeably just stopped and stared at me. They said it was like that pub scene from an American Werewolf in London, and it was!
Really made me feel self conscious and uncomfortable, and left a lasting (bad) impression.
