A British woman's relaxing getaway to Tenerife turned into a holiday from hell when a ceiling in her hotel room suddenly collapsed, pinning her to the bed in a terrifying ordeal.
The shocking incident occurred at the four-star Hotel Bitacora in Playa de las Americas, where 28-year-old Chelsea Davies from Wales was enjoying what should have been a peaceful night's sleep.
A Night of Terror
"I thought I was going to die," Chelsea recounted, describing the moment when debris came crashing down on her as she lay in bed. The falling ceiling left her trapped beneath the rubble, struggling to breathe as dust filled the air.
Hotel staff rushed to her aid, but the traumatic experience left Chelsea with severe bruising and psychological distress. "I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe properly," she said, still shaken by the event.
Hotel's Response Raises Questions
While the hotel offered to move Chelsea to another room, she found their response inadequate given the severity of the incident. "They treated it like it was nothing," she claimed, expressing disappointment at the lack of proper medical attention or compensation offered.
The terrifying experience has left Chelsea warning other holidaymakers to be cautious about hotel safety standards, even in supposedly reputable establishments.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities are now investigating the cause of the ceiling collapse, with initial reports suggesting possible structural issues. The incident raises serious concerns about building maintenance in tourist accommodations.
Chelsea's story serves as a stark reminder that holiday disasters can happen when least expected, turning dream vacations into traumatic experiences.
