20. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to
bring our swimming costumes and towels.

19."On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost
every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

18."It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I  
often
needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

17."I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store
does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

16."I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."

15."It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly
guests before we travel."

14."We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

13."We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your  
brochure
shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

12. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish.
The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."

11. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're
trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"

10. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends'
three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."

9."My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a
double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find
myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in  
the room
that we booked."

8. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only  
took
the Americans three hours to get home."

7. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were
startled."

6. "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five euros (£3.50) from a street
trader, only to find out they were fake."

5. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was
ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

4. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too  
thick and
strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

3."The beach was too sandy."

2. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she’d been  
locked
in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the “do not disturb” sign on
the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

1.A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who
spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this
rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
