Couple who paid £800 for five star break in luxury Greek spa faced scaffolding, filthy swimming pool and bare wires
Chef Perry Miller, 57, and make-up artist wife Nicola, 41, blast holiday firm Thomson after their relaxing getaway was shattered by constant work in resort
A COUPLE who thought they got a bargain when they paid £800 for a five star Mediterranean break have told of their horror at encountering scaffolding, a filthy swimming pool and bare wires at the resort.
Chef Perry Miller, 57, and make-up artist wife Nicola, 41, were also faced with restaurant entrances boarded up and a beach covered in litter at the spa on the Greek island of Rhodes.
Promised a ''beachside location, lagoon-style pool, and plush spa” with ''rooms dressed in earthy colours with fluffy robes and slippers'' they discovered much of the Sensimar Imperial Resort & Spa by Atlantica was still being rebuilt in a major renovation project.
Holiday operators Thomsons put them up in another part of complex but the couple, from Nottingham, have now made a formal complaint.
Nicola said: ''The hotel we booked just looked like a building site.
''Everywhere we looked there was scaffolding and construction work being done when they were promising all this luxury.
