Hi Mehmeh, the tranfer was great with orangecargire they where waiting even as our flight came in early and they arrived 15minuted early to pick us up, we where late going out due to two people who was late checking in which really gets me annoyed as they have three hrs to check in, as for the teenage club it finishes on the 26th of August, but they still had a great time at the pool and at the outdoor disco until 2am.

Hello we have been home now for about 3 weeks and this is a quick message but this was our first time there and we are pining to go back. Its like feeling homesick. We had a fantastic time and although our children didnt use the kids clubs that much when they did they were never bored. We went scuba diving, water ski-ing, banana boating, jet ski-ing and took a speed boat out. We also had some fantastic photos by the photo guys that walk about. My only concern was that we had only been there about two days and my husband was sick and then the rest of us went down. Within a couple of days we were fine again and the exactly 7 days later we were ill again. After speaking to a few others they also were ill. We didnt think too much of this until we returned home and my youngest being 3 had still got upset stomach and after keeping in contact with some others from the hotel they too were still ill. I had a test done at the doctors and it came back that he had cryptosporidium. This is found in contaminated drinking water and swimming pools. Although not life threatning and depends on your health some may experience two to three days worth or 2 to 3 weeks worth of upset stomach or sickness. Has anyone else been ill around mid August at Lykia World? We are all well again and it hasnt put me off going back but it does concern me that after spending so much on a holiday we were ill from the pool.

Hi Starry, Yes we where all ill with tummy upset, and their was a few other children ill as well, we had sickness and running to the toilet for 2-3days, i wish i had known their had been people who had already been ,and been ill, did they you do to the doctors and if so did they give you green tablets to stop the illness. Yours Janice

Hi Bellingham. We didnt go to the doctors at the hotel because we just put it down to a stomach bug. Some people we met there went to the doctors and they sent their children into hospital and gave them antibiotics which we thought was strange for a normal stomach bug. It wasnt until we arrived home and my little boys stomach started up again that we had the test done. They have told us that Thomas Cook are going to contact Lykia World just to see if they can test the swimming pools. We mainly were in the village pool. We have all settled down now. If we had not have had the test done we wouldnt have known really because my husband and other children were just sick and had upset stomach for about 2 days and then were ill again about 5 days later. We havent been given anything for it but they said that if it carries on they can give us a course of tablets but I dont know what colour or what they are called.

Hi Harrisons, We had the exact same illness and we asked the rep if their has been any other reports and she said NO, so she lied and im going to contact Thomascook tomorrow, im going to have a look and see id i can find the doctors bill and see where we go from their, if i can prove their was a problam at Lykia im going to contact Ros, as i did not enjoy the firs week through being ill. Yours Janice

We have looked up this bowel thing again and it said that it can be treated by a tablet called nitazoxanide. Were you given a tablet at the hotel. I dont know if there is something going on there because I cant understand why they are giving people tablets if they only think they have a stomach bug.
Reply
We have also looked up the tablets on the internet and the colourings in the tablet are FD & C Yellow No 10 and FD & C No 2 Blue. which without too much looking into would sound like they could be green. I think I am going to ask Thomas cook if they have contacted them yet. Alot of people can carry this without hardly any symptoms and it can stay in you for 2-3 weeks. The only other place I can think of is the Lagoon because round the side we went to it was very calm water and more like a lake. We was at Lykia between 17th and 31st August and there was no end of people we spoke to who had sickness and upset stomachs.

Hi HT, Could you please help, we have been to Lykia World and their has been a problecausing people to be ill and we did not know how many people had been ill and their was a problem until we came back do yolu think Ross could help us , i did ask the rep if their was a probelm and she said that we was the only people who had been ill, so what we have learned since is that she lied. Yours Janice
