Becca was staying at Magical Tropical Splash in with her partner, six-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter when her room was raided by thugs.

The mother caught the strangers entering her room on the last night of the family’s £2,500 .

With signs put up around the hotel warning of a power cut Becca headed to her room alone to charge the family’s phones.

She was left terrified when she discovered two thugs heading to her in a bid to rob her family.

Speaking about the horror incident Becca said: “As I got in the lift these two teenagers got in the lift with me and just pressed my floor level.

“I honestly didn’t think anything of it because there’s five rooms per floor so I just assumed they were going to one of them.”;

The two then exited the lift on Becca’s floor and headed straight for her room.

She said: “I thought ‘oh sh*t I have obviously got off on the wrong floor, what a palaver I’m going to have to wait for the lift again.’ But it was the right floor.

“It happened all quite quickly and they just strolled straight into my room.

“I then followed in after them, which in hindsight, I shouldn’t have because you hear and I think it could have gone sour.

“But I just didn’t really think and went straight into the room and shouted ‘what are you doing in my room?'”;

Becca says one of the intruders then started screaming at her in .

She responded by yelling: “Get the f*ck out, get the f*ck out, get the f*ck out.”; until the two thugs ran off.

The terrifying incident was not over though with the would be minutes later and banging on the door.

Becca said she stayed in her room with the door locked as the two teens continued to bang on it, she added: “I was absolutely petrified.

“I know it sounds silly and people have said you should have done this, you should have locked them in the room, you should have but at that moment I think it was just that invasion of privacy.

“This is supposed to be your safe place when you are away, you’re away from home, we don’t travel all that often so we were really shaken.

“Then that night I did not sleep because I was at every noise.

“If it had happened earlier on in the week we would have flown home.”;

Becca went on to report the incident to security after discovering another family had experienced a similar break in losing passports, watches and other valuables to the thieves.

After the harrowing ordeal Becca is warning other who plan to visit Spain.

She said: “I would advise just to be alert.

“A lot of people have said we were scaremongering people not to go away, not at all.

“We will certainly go on again, it’s not a case of us never going abroad again but I think it’s just having that awareness that if you are a lone woman, please be careful.

“I’m very lucky that I’m OK but I think it’s just a case of having your wits about you a bit more.

“When you go on you tend to relax and become a little bit naive to these situations.”;

She also recommended tourists travel with padlocks so they can secure their valuables inside suitcases.

She added: “Obviously keep your .

“I know some people say don’t use the safes, we personally lock all of ours and padlock them in our suitcases.

“I think it’s just a case of having your wits about you and knowing not to get comfortable in somewhere you’ve never been before.”;

Although she plans to , Becca said she’ll now take extra precautions.

“I’m considering getting a webcam that you can put in your room next time we go away. I will carry on locking my stuff away. I would never take the kids away on my own.

“I certainly wouldn’t have cleaners in my room ever again, not to say it definitely was them but they have .

“I don’t know if I would feel comfortable going up to a room on my own again.”;
