"Where have you been on holiday which was disappointing and why? Mine was sunnybeach Bulgaria, it is a purpose built tourist town, lots of neon and bars, no old town to explore, probably might have enjoyed it if I was 25 years younger" Same, went to Sunnybeach in my 20s. Wouldn't return and that was before it was really popular. Iceland was OK but not as good as the hype. Everything there is mini - mini glaciers, mini icebergs etc compared to other places in the world. I really can't remember the north side of the island much at all, I guess that explains why people generally stay South. Costa Rica. I can't distinguish it from the other countries in Central America. I just remember the others more. Orangutans in Borneo. The country is great. That experience though just felt like an animal park, the trek wasn't really a trek at all. They were just there, hanging around on viewing platforms. There was no work to find them which I like to have with wildlife. | |||

"Prestatyn. Could be because I was a teenager and there was fuck all for me to do there 😂" I mean, is Prestatyn ever a good holiday destination? 🤔🤣 It's gotta be Ibiza (as a kid) for me. Absolute bore of a holiday. We did have a villa with a pool though, so it made up for the lack of anything to actually do in the area we stayed. | |||

Tourist towns and expeditions were lovely and our villa approx 10mins taxi out of the centre was divine. It’s when you’re mingling with the locals and shopping that you see the real people | |||

"Bodrum Turkey, we were hassled the min I got off the boat over, touts and quite aggressive people trying to force various golden goods onto us." I had really negative experiences in Bodrum when I went 30 years ago. Tried the country again last year - I have been to a lot of places and it is just not for me. | |||

"Jamaica. The tourist areas are great but try and explore the 'real' place and it's another world. I've heard a lot of Mexico is similar and not really into that segregation vibe." I didn't notice Mexico was like that hugely, although I do recall Mexican food outside of Mexico is much better than the food in the country itself | |||

"Where have you been on holiday which was disappointing and why? Mine was sunnybeach Bulgaria, it is a purpose built tourist town, lots of neon and bars, no old town to explore, probably might have enjoyed it if I was 25 years younger" Share El Sheik for the exact same reason. Also Agadir, Morocco - sea fog until late morning most days, nothing to do except go on a long bus tour to Marrakech - which brew’s is an axing place to stay and the long bus tours from there only go to the Atlas Mountains and beautiful waterfalls you can climb (but probably shouldn’t 😉 ) …because not even they will go to Agadir 🤣 | |||

"Haverfordwest. Everything shut at 5. Got a boat to Dublin instead 🤓" I think you may have misread your tourist guide, or brochure. Haverfordwest has never been a tourist destination. Admittedly, there are heaps of wonderful tourist destinations within 30mins of there, but no-one, even the town’s staunchiest defenders would de_cribe the town itself as a “holiday destination” .
It has a) a castle and b) coach drivers sometimes dump their tour parties there because they’re moaning that they’ve not seen a shopping centre for five days (not that the shops are in the centre). It makes a token effort based on the above.
It’s like going on holiday to Dunstable, except Dunstable isn’t near a stunning coastline  . | |||

"Morocco,more to the point Agadir. Terrible poverty couldn't leave the complex without being chased by beggars and vendors, awful food. No thanks " We totally agree, however Morocco was a beautiful place and atmosphere. The beggars weren’t pushy and the shop owners weren’t hard-sell but the grand medina did stink of horse pee along the way”taxi rank” where there all wait for fares. …but so does Central Park, NYC. | |||

"Tunisia. The hotel was like a Palace but round about was dirty and I felt very unsafe the whole time I was there. Even our holiday rep told us to stick together and not wander off alone. I was there with 4 other females and we got hounded by men everywhere we went." Yeah it's a shitehole quth aggressive locals trying to force you into shops and locking the door if they get you in. Even the shop in the hotel was like this. | |||

It's also generally a low crime country although I know women travelling alone who have had problems. | |||

We’re not sand lovers though & spent most of our time exploring - there’s some stunning countryside & we met so many lovely people. I didn’t like Corfu - not Corfu’s fault though just really bad weather for 1st week then we all got sickness bugs. J x | |||

Regrettably I left 2 weeks early and went to a more conventional, corporate destination to try and recover from the experience. I recommend that everyone who can should go, lovely people, but it won't be a relaxing trip. " Interesting to read this. I totally agree. I went there on business some years ago, and stayed in a non-tourist destination for 2 weeks. In the course of charity work and military service in South Africa, I thought I'd seen poverty in the townships and rural areas of Natal and Johanbesburg. It didn't compare to what I saw in India! And I never saw racism in Apartheid SA any worse than the way people of a low caste were treated. Quite a sobering experience. 😐 | |||
