Hi
Just got back from GBPB on the 1st July....When I was out there in my 2nd week I fell ill with a stomache bug, Diarrhea and bad stomache cramps & still now at home I still have them....Anyone out there at the same time experienced they same problems.
I noticed one we had been there for a couple of days at the buffet restaurant in the Bavaro lobby they started giving you hand sanatiser at he door before you went in & also at the snack hut/restaurant by the big long pool which is litrally on the beach they were making people use this hand stuff again.
Then in the 2nd week my mum noticed that they had a pool water testing kit out by the side of the pool which makes me think did they know that there was a bug going round the hotel. I am never normally an Ill person on holiday but these few little things add up and make me think it has to be something that is within the hotel. Out of 6 people in our party 4 people have been affected by the bug & 2 even now being at home are still having cramps & Diarrhea.
Any other guests who stayed here with any info would be great.
Thanks
To cut a very long story short we refused to use the buffet restaurant due to obvious H&S food issues, we got around this by arguing with the rep and getting 12 pre booked reservations in the ala carte restaurants.
We came away relatively unsaved food poisoning wise as the ala carte food was mostly cooked fresh, but did leave one poor woman sobbing at the airport as half her group of 14 wedding party were not allowed to leave hospital for the flight home as they were on IV medication!
To cap it all off around two or three months after we returned whilst watching Holiday Watchdog we recognised a young English lad who had been on our flight out . The whole family it turned out had been hospitalised during our first week and this had led to an undercover team from HWD to do an investigation .
Looking at the currant photos the place has had a refurb and indeed a name change
OK this is not the same hotel as where you stayed but it is amazing how these places change names and groups once they get a bad reputation,
BUT it seems a new brush does not always sweep clean!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that's awful and I really feel for you. If you're still feeling ill you should visit your doctor for investigations.
