These are real complaints received from customers by Thomas Cook Vacations (based on a Thomas Cook/Association of British Travel Agents survey):
• "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."
• "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."
• "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."
• "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."
• "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."
• "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."
• "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."
