What’s your worst holiday experience, destination?

Lanzarote, April/May, years back. Got to Costa Teguise and the lady on the transfer coach tells us, "Don't forget it's known as breezy Teguise". Not half. Spent the first few days looking for jumpers in the shops. Constant grey skies. The hotel overlooked a building site on both sides and the in-house entertainment was a John Wayne impersonator (?) and various parrot shows, oh and they repeated the schedule for week 2. The pool was ice cold, the local restaurant had no running water in the toilets which was bad enough until I saw the chef come out of one of the traps after doing a number 2 and walk straight out. The hire car had bald tyres and got broken into where my mobile phone got nicked (back in the day when they were too big to carry around) and the trip to the submarine was spoiled by the Germans running it who clearly thought the war was still on.

Oh and City got relegated (v Ipswich? I've chosen to forget).

On the way out we were delayed 4 hours, on the way back we were delayed 13 hours.Lanzarote, April/May, years back.

Guess where I’am ;)
Been Lanzarote a few times . We’re in the Occidental Lanzarote Mar in Teguise. (2nd visit here). Found it OK but nothing special . It’s suits the kids being All inclusive and cheap. After the year we’ve had, it’s fantastic to get away!. Ventured out the other day to a Scottish boozer called Keg and Kilt to watch the Lions. 1 euro 50 a pint of Estrella . Nothing much open though to be honest. Hardly any Brits at the start of the holiday , filling up now though.
 
Faliraki by a country mile. Pissed up brits laid across the roads like litter

I went there as a student with no money.

stayed in a shit hole room with one double bed in it in some scrub land , shared it with my ugly mate who also had no money.

No air con absolutely baking hot.

my mate came home pissed puked in the sink, fell backwards and pulled the sink off the wall over him.

if that wasn’t bad enough in the morning woke up and the ugly twat had shit the bed as well.

ohhh what joy,

The difference being the time of year, I hope for your sanity. This was over 20 years ago for me and I think you are near where we stayed, actually. A quick look at Google Street view suggests it's been updated dramatically.

Have a great time, I'm sure you will.
