Consumer organisation Which? asked nearly 3,000 visitors about their recent trips to almost 100 resorts, giving them a rating out of five for a number of categories, including the beach, scenery, attractions, food and drink, entertainment and shopping.

Each town was also given an overall score, based on a combination of overall satisfaction and how likely people are to recommend the town as a holiday destination.
