Guests complained of stomach cramps, violent vomiting and severe diarrhoea.

Guests are complaining that their holidays have been ruined after outbreaks of illness which included symptoms of violent diarrhoea and vomiting, which is often linked to food poisoning.

The Holiday Village hotels in Majorca and Benalmadena operate on an all-inclusive basis which can increase the risk of contamination from one person to another, as guests share the same facilities and meal arrangements. The source of infection was likely to have been in the hotel, as most of the guests stay within the complex at meal times.
Many young children have been taken ill while staying at the Holiday Village Hotel in Benalmadena, which has 360 rooms.

Some of the bigger tour operators such as Thomson Holidays, Cosmos and Thomas Cook send thousands of holidaymakers around the world every year and the vast majority come back happy and relaxed after a week or two abroad. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, and cases of food poisoning on cruise ships, and in package holiday hotels, is on the increase. You can now claim for holiday illness or accidents in the UK, even when they have happened abroad.
Travellers can be at high risk when travelling to third world countries, but they need to be wary when travelling to Europe too. Types of food poisoning including norovirus, e.coli and salmonella are being contracted far too often in holiday hotels. Typical symptoms of e.coli include increased weight, cramps in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and fever.


The most important thing to remember when travelling abroad, particularly to third world countries, is to avoid the water. Even though the locals drink the water, it doesn’t mean to say it is safe for you to drink. The locals are used to the local water, and their digestive systems are accustomed to the bacteria present in the water. Yours are not. If there is no option than to drink tap water, then you must make sure you boil it first for at least ten minutes. Salads in restaurants should also be avoided as they are likely to have been washed in tap water.
All inclusive holiday hotels usually include all of the food. Unfortunately this can result in buffet/style foods being left out in warm temperatures, which leaves them open to flies and bacteria. Ensure that any food you eat at your holiday hotel is cooked thoroughly and served at the proper temperature.


If you venture outside your holiday package hotel, into the streets of the local town, never eat from street vendors. Food served on the streets is a massive cause of food poisoning to holidaymakers. Food served from local vendors should be avoided at all costs. Never eat food in your hotel which appears to be warmed up.


To prevent holiday illness and sickness abroad, ensure your food is served hot and that meat is cooked well done. Only eat fruit that has been washed and handled by you. Hot beverages, bottled water, bread and tinned fruit are also safe to eat.

Tour operators have a responsibility to you to make sure your food is prepared to a high standard, and that there are no hidden surprises that can cause personal injury in your holiday package hotel.If you have suffered a holiday accident, illness or injury you need to contact a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible on your return to the UK.
