British tourist finds Corfu holiday a “nightmare” because there was “no English food”

A British tourist spent an all-inclusive vacation with her daughter and cousins ​​on the Greek island of Corfu. According to the Daily Mail , it turned into a "nightmare" for her. One major reason: the hotel lacked typical "English food."

Due to her chronic intestinal disease, the British woman has to be very careful about what she can and can't eat. "There are certain things I simply can't eat," she explained. She said she was served rice and sardines, among other things – the mere sight of rice made her feel nauseous.

One evening there was also a Greek theme night where gyros were offered – she couldn't eat that either.

The mother was also disappointed because she had to pay extra for water. She and her companions reportedly paid 750 pounds per person (approximately 891 euros). "Plus 70 euros in tourist tax for me and my daughter, plus an additional 450 pounds (approximately 534 euros) for our food – I could have flown to the Caribbean," the tourist complained.

According to the hotel, the tourist's criticisms of the food offerings were unfounded, as the Daily Mail further reports. "Our buffet is rich and varied every day – with fresh salads, fruit, vegetables, and cold and hot dishes that cater to a wide variety of European and Mediterranean tastes. The claim that we served 'only rice and sardines' is simply false," the hotel stated.

It also boasts "excellent service" that guarantees an "unforgettable vacation experience" – with access to a private beach. The vacationer claimed she couldn't use it because the descent was too steep and the bay was about 150 meters from the hotel.

1. Breakfast cereal : High-end hotels often have a grain mill where the grains are freshly ground. Sometimes the cereal is soaked in orange juice overnight, and fresh apples, nuts, and berries are added the next morning. Small details like these show whether a hotel is committed to quality or is more concerned with cutting costs.
2. Security : All-inclusive guests know exactly what they'll be charged when booking and can move freely around the hotel grounds. To prevent this concept from being exploited by outside tourists, many hotels implement strict security measures. Access is well-controlled, for example, by security guards and colored wristbands.
3. Alcohol: All-inclusive hotels also pursue specific strategies when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Local spirits, beer, and wine are typically offered—but fine wines like a top-quality Bordeaux are hard to find. Instead, they offer inexpensive, mass-produced wines, such as those served as table wine in many holiday clubs.
