Freda Jackson complained her two-week holiday to Benidorm was so bad it was 'a disaster from start to finish'
A British holidaymaker was left in tears after her two-week getaway to Benidorm turned sour due to what she described as "rude" Spanish locals. Freda Jackson, who visited the sunny Alicante resort in spring 2017, lamented that her vacation was completely spoilt by fellow tourists who "got on her nerves".
In a statement made in 2018, Freda, a retired care assistant, expressed her frustration: "The hotel was full of Spanish holidaymakers and they really got on our nerves because they were just so rude. One evening a Spanish guy nearly knocked me flying and he just walked off without even apologising. The entertainment in the hotel was all focused and catered for the Spanish - why can't the Spanish go somewhere else for their holidays?".
"We wanted to go somewhere on flat ground and not in the hills because we have mobility issues. To top it off once we got to reception they told us we had been put on the 14th floor, thankfully we were moved to the second floor, and that it was 42 steps down to the hotel's swimming pool."
