Why not get a private villa? That way you wont be disturbed by anyone. Otherwise get some ear plugs ;)

Ear plugs? cant say i've heard the 'next door neighbours' in any hotel i've been in.

Lots of hotels seem to have wooden floors in their rooms these days, more hygenic than carpeted ones but noisier. On a recent holiday to Menorca we could hear our next door neighbor walking around in what we guessed were heeled shoes but that was only for short periods of time each day. Luckily we were on the top floor so didn't have to hear it from above as well. But it's a long time since someones snoring (apart from occasionally bouts by OH) has kept me awake but I do remember once being kept awake for hours by the snoring of someone in a room on the same floor as me during a holiday in Austria. It seemed to get louder and louder as the night went by and I ended up not sleeping at all. Ear plugs aren't the answer for me though, I've tried all sorts of different types and with each one I've ended up within minutes of putting them in scrabbling round in the bed trying to find them as they always pop out.
I sympathise Carol, hopefully as Fiona states you should find some if you google or a private villa might be the answer, though that can prove very expensive.

Heard that in an hotel in Benalmadina. It was the talk at breakfast because the hotel was full of elderly persons and everybody was having a good laugh about it because they all heard it. Never saw the couple involved.

We were in Ibiza 2 weeks ago and at 1-15am the very large headboard fell and hit the floor with a rather load bang, this woke the couple in the room beside us they then made a phone call that got rather irate and after that had a good row with each other before finishing there night well by being sick twice. great

I've bought these earplugs and they really work. They are not uncomfortable at all. In fact I forgot that I had them in. Going to buy a bigger box now.
