Customer Complaints

In your Dreams Holidays

I am writing to complain about a holiday that I spent in your hotel in August of this year.

I have several reasons for complaining. 1) Firstly / First of all, the information I received about the hotel was incorrect. The adverts talked about a swimming pool and a golf course. In August of this year, 2) however / in addition, the swimming pool had not yet been built. 3) Equally / Likewise, the golf course was still unfinished.

4) Then/ After there was the room. 5) Although / Despite this had a sea view as advertised, the view was spoilt by building works in front of the hotel. 6) On the other hand / Furthermore, the noise of the building woke us up early every morning. 7) Lastly / Secondly, we were so disappointed by the holiday that we left early. 8) Despite / In spite of our complaints, the hotel manager was rude and refused to give us any money back.

I am therefore writing to request an immediate refund. If we do not receive this within seven days, we will send our story and photos to the newspapers.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Y Mee
