Worst Holiday Destination Ever

Lady Chuckles

It is too

Azureus

Amsterdam is just Dublin with (more) drugs-t'is grand, but wouldnt be going back every year!

Worst holiday destination I ever went to was Playa des Ingles in Gran Canaria. Fecking holiday reps-just stalkers in disguise! And one tried to score me the minute my boyfriend was in the bathroom most likely with the assumption that if you went to that resort you were a whore. Still had good craic there once we got away from that side of things tho :L

Las Vegas

you're doing it wrong.

In fairness, most broke people who go to Vegas can't enjoy it properly.
If you make more than 150k a year and don't mind dropping at least 10k on a week then Vegas is for you.

Otherwise you'd just feel jealous and poor.

Amsterdam is a hellhole alright. But it's probably ok if you are into drugs and prostitutes..I thought it was pretty dull. Nice Cathedrals but saw a nicer one in Cologne..plus if the highlight of a city for me is a church than that says it all...

That's like saying Dublin's a hellhole when you haven't left Temple Bar.

Amsterdam's a beautiful city, just exit the red light district and the coffeshop area.

frank reynolds

regardless of it being an obvious holiday resort... its by far the most disgusting place on earth - Kusadasi in turkey. its just a horrible run down kip full of fat knacker women in their 40s and 50s getting with the male prossies that hang out of their pocket and rob any blokes that go to the resort. sick kip. avoid at all costs

Shlippery

The Isle of Mann..so help me god that was the worst family holiday I ever went on.

Really? New York is actually quite good value once you escape from the Times Square touristy area and the rip off Midtown bars (which are really boring anyway). Pitchers of Beer in the Villages or Lower East Side cane be got for $9, shots of tequila and vodka for $2, bottles of Corona etc. are usually $3, you can get a great curry in Williamsburg or East Village for $10, slices of pizza for $1 all over the city etc. Granted hotels are expensive, but you are in New York, they're never going to be cheap.

Was that Cabo Roig? Was there an Irish bar called 'The Bog Road'?

I can't remember what the town was called but I'm pretty sure it wasn't carbo roig. All the pubs had names like Paddy's Point and the Molly Malone etc

Just had another memory from my time there. My parents were inside looking around a shop and I was browsing at a stand of sunglasses outside. The shopkeeper came out, took a pair of sunglasses and put them on my face. Before I even realized what he had done he was back in the shop heckling my dad to pay for the sunglasses I 'took'.

That's what I hate about places like that everyone is out to shaft you, even in a seemingly normal shopping centre the people act like dodgy peddlers. It just wrecked my head.

Blackpool, it makes Bundoran look like Sydney Harbour. Also the Thailand/Cambodia border crossing looked like hell.

blackpools fine, nice beach, great themepark, good nightlife, the illuminations, cool old style trams and best of all its cheap compared to anywhere in ireland, i could name 2 dozen cities in england worse than blackpool, never had a bad time in blackpool, free chips in walkabout bar at 2am too

Costa del Courtown

Fizgig Bandicoot

Tunisia (Think we were at a place called Port el Kantoui). I was 13 when I was there and my sister was 11. Grown up men used to flirt with us in front of our parents. (They probably were only joking but I was terrified.) I was sitting on a wall and my parents were near me, and a man came up, sat right beside me and tried to put his arm around me. They also kept offereing our parents camels for us. (Again,probably only messing but it made me feel very uncomfortable.) I wouldn't go back there.

bhovaspack

Marbella. Not on account of the place itself, which is nice enough, but the international set who have second homes there. These are people who see it as their god-given right to be addressed in English at all times, even when they happen to be on someone else's turf. They have successfully extirpated everything that is foreign to them out of a foreign resort. It's like a vast, outdoor shopping mall for pampered babies.

retalivity

another vote for torremolinos. was on a road trip in the south of spain, was laeving the next day, it was near the airport.....never again
couldnt find a room in a hotel, so after 2 hours of getting harrassed for drugs and money when trying to eat or drink, we just drove the car out of the area and slept there...horrible place.
brussels was quite boring as well....although i hear that i was just in the wrong area.

apart from that, every other place ive been too has been fantastic.

i dont get the whole week on a spanish island resot with thousands of other lobster people from ireland/england.
much rather go to relatively unvisited places (luxembourg, gothenburg, annecy, eindhoven all being examples) and hang out with locals.

I'd imagine a municipal waste dump is quite a poor holiday destination.

Went there and had a **** time. Besides Auswitz and a number of other nazi concentration camps and the salt mines there was nothing else to do. Place was full of poles too.

Thing is, I enjoyed myself there because the place was "full of poles" - because I went with friends who are polish. They took the time to show me all the sights including driving to Zakopane!

The salt mines are great but did you see Wawel Castle? The Old Town? The museums and art galleries? The amazing churches and bell towers? Did you see "Smok"? Did you visit one of the "Milk Bars"? Did you shop in the markets for the beautiful hand-crafted jewellery?, did you try the delicious traditional food and drink vodka? did you visit Galleria Krakowska shopping centre....?

If you dont like polish people why go to Poland?

Thats just silly!:rolleyes:

I note that and raise you; Once whilst on a family Holiday in Mayo, my parents dragged us to that other Disneyland, the house of prayer in Achill Island where Christina Gallagher was busy indoctrinating old folks in her multi million euro religious racket.

My parents live in Mayo, very near to her place in Achill. Still bus loads of people going down there all the time. She's an absolute con woman, and has been outed as such even by the Church, but still people somehow hand over their life savings to her. She still claims to be receiving messages from the Virgin Mary herself. As crooked as a spiral staircase she is.

A weeks holiday in Marbella was definitely my worst, closely followed by a weekend in Brussels.

Yeah and i know a few who have apartments there, was there once and i can honestly say if i was given a free holiday with a thousand euro spending money there i would pass it on to someone else.

Went to Knock with Joe Coleman. He told me on the coach, on the way down, that 'herself' had just spoken to him and asked him to touch me in the pants.

He also said that I had a lovely little beard. Trying to butter me up. I also had to pay for all our meals, because the 'Virgin Mary' said it would be better. And it was raining every day. Never again.

In fairness, who goes on holiday to Dundalk? If you've gone that far would you at least not go to Carlingford ?

My Granda was in Berlin once, think its was 1945 he said it was a total kip, not sure if its improved much since then?

My parents took us to Mayo one year in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. We all got bored after 4 days but we had to stay there for 2 weeks.:(

I spent a week in Milford Haven in South West Wales when I was 15. I was invited along by a friend to go on holiday with his family. It was a disaster. Firstly my friend was ill for the first two days and spent it lying on his bed so I was left on my own with not a lot to do. Then the whole family, who were very dysfunctional in hindsight, fell out with each other on the third night and none of them spoke to each other for 2 days which was very awkward. Then on the sixth day they all decided they'd had enough and decided to drive home a day early.

Combined with the weird family who constantly argued, the weather was shocking and rained 4 days out of 6 and we stayed in this dingy hostel which didn't have bed sheets or anything so slept on a filthy bare mattress all week.

I've been very lucky on my holidays for the most part but that was awful.

Few years ago in Ayia Napa. Swallowed fish bones on the first night and spent the next few days in bed thinking that I had a throat infection. Then, when I went to the doc he thought it'd be a good idea to pull the bones out with a set of pliers. Only started to feel better on the last night, and our flight home was at 6 the next morning.

Crazy Horse 6

Decided to holiday at home last summer (two weeks in the South of Ireland) never never again. Bad weather, rip off hotel prices, bad overpriced food, rip off prices into sites, horrible potholed roads i could go on but i won't. Kids hated it.
