You worst holiday ever

I think ours was probably in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria.

We flew Balkan Air and the plane was in a very dilapidated state. The toilets weren't working, some seats were missing and the food was awful.

Sunny Beach was quite nice but definitely on the "tacky" side. The hotel was dirty and smelt horrible, many of the guests (including me and my son) went down with a horrible stomach bug (which we think we got from the hotel swimming pool as guests who had not used it were not affected) and the staff were openly rude and unhelpful. Breakfast was curled up cold meats, cheese and stale bread.

Having said that, we made the best of it and there were some lovely places we visited in Bulgaria. Also, I think perhaps we were unlucky with the hotel staff as we met some nice Bulgarians and when I left my purse in a taxi and didn't realise for some time, it was returned to me intact. I believe Sunny Beach is even more "tacky" now - a favourite place for stag and hen parties because the drinks are so cheap. Not much of a consideration for us as I don't drink much and my husband doesn't drink at all.

Just thinking about this today. We booked a holiday in a "pet friendly" hotel when our dog was 6 months old. Turned out it wasn't pet friendly at all. We weren't supposed to take our dog into the main house but had to stay in our annex. We weren't supposed to leave the dog in the room (even though we couldn't take him into the main house. It rained constantly for the three days we were there and then the hotelier had the cheek to charge us extra because she said the room was dirty. How were we supposed to keep it clean when all three of us were constantly wet? Absolute disaster.
