I know Benidorm is very popular with many, many people but like Littlebopeeps, I hated it,
as did the rest of our party.
I'll never go there again.
Wasn't impressed with the pyramids. The Cairo Museum was marginally better.
Wasn't impressed with Singapore, it just didn't do it for me and I have no desire to return. The humidity at almost 100% was stifling. It may have been that we were fatigued after being away for a month, but I don't think so.

And sadly I have to add Prague to this list. Perhaps it was coloured by the fact that I and OH had a large row (oh good old PMT!) and that there were so many people trying to crowd into such a small space, and so many of them with RP* British accents (early May).
* RP = received pronounciation ....... like the BBC but even more cut-glass!!
And I'm not usually such a snob, but it was the disparaging comments they were making ... and in Prague you need to look up at the buildings to get the full beauty of the place .........

This is an interesting thread 
I don't like tacky (sorry) so at least I know where not to go
No disappointments for you me, yet

Crinkley Bottom. Took my kids there years ago when Mr Blobby was at his height. Complete waste of money. A 4th rate theme park in a 5th rate zoo!
Blackpool! Used to go there a lot when I was young so was quite excited to be able to visit a few weeks ago. What a shock. The place was like a ghost town (early July) and everything looked so completely rundown and shabby. We couldn't get out quick enough and I could have cried all the way home 'cos I was so upset.
Also Hastings. Spent a week there one afternoon!
We decided that if God was going to give the UK an enema then Hastings would be where he inserted the tube!

Minehead. Could be lovely. But isn't.
Porthcawl.......... you either love it or hate it
For us it was Bulgaria, the only place we have been to and couldn't wait to get back home. Might of had something to do with the fact that 6 out of 10 of us was ill. We wouldn't return.
hi de hi
got to agree with you about Hastings, and i live there.
now you see one of the reasons why i try and spend so much time in Spain.
to be fair, there are some nice bits to see in hastings, think of Foyles War on tv which is filmed around here, the old town fishing museum etc. unfortunately the pier is closed and has just been sold, so that is another attraction gone.
still, i had to spend a lot of time in the lytham/blackpool area 2 years ago and decided i'd still rather live in hastings.

I have to disagree - as i live in an area near Hastings. I haven't always lived here - and I think this is one of the nicest places to live - there is a real sense of community spirit and I can't think of anything better than living by the sea.
There are good and bad areas in all places - and it really annoys me when people run Hastings down, its not that bad and its getting better! I have lived in much worse places. Anyway I think I am digressing slightly from the subject - but I had to defend Hastings!

Sort of a Battle of Hastings then?
I've had difficulty thinking of anywhere that disappointed. Cardiff Castle would probably be the one for me. But perhaps it had something to do with the fact that it was blowing a gale at the time( and I do mean a gale 
)
As for Hasting- OH is running the marathon there so I'll see his opinion of it.
I cannot believe that anyone could find the Taj Mahal disappointing. I stood still for 2 hours in wonderment at what I was seeing. Even though the photos are stunning you just cannot describe to anyone the magic of it.

Go to Rye instead if you are down that way;) It's pretty with cobbled streets etc
Been to Rye, probably why Hastings seemed such a dump afterwards. As for the pier closing when we were there the main attraction on there seemed to be a shop that sold nothing else but garlic!
Down that was is great but Hastings!!!!

Cardiff castles great...just not what you expect from a castle.
James Bond Island Phang-Nga Thailand...looked for ages but couldn't find Scaramangas secret hideaway, just a load of stalls selling tat.
