What happened at the Yel Holiday Resort?
Gracia Isherwood booked a mid-August 2013 stay at the three-star Yel Holiday Resort looking forward to her first holiday abroad with her partner.
Unfortunately, for ill-fated Gracia, a beach bed soon turned into a hospital bed as within days of her arrival at the Hisaronu resort, the project manager was crippled by severe gastric illness symptoms and placed onto an IV drip at the local hospital. The holidaymakers condition was so acute, that Gracia was left unable to stand.
Remarkably, this was to prove just the first of two hospital admissions for the stricken tourist.
A mere 24 hours after her discharge, Gracia was again admitted to hospital for further treatment. Following this second hospital admission, Gracia remained hospitalised for the remainder of her ruined holiday.
Speaking to the experts at Holiday Illness Claims, Gracia summarises the experience as extremely traumatising:
I had no contact with my family other than when the Thomas Cook representative came to visit.
I was told I could potentially need an operation and I was unsure if I would even make my flight home.
Out of the 10-day holiday, I spent 6 days ill, this was extremely upsetting as I had saved up for a year for the holiday and was unable to attend planned and paid for excursions.
Gracia returned home exhausted and remained plagued by repeat illness symptoms for several weeks, leading to a period of absence from work.
GP examinations indicated that acute gastroenteritis was the probable cause of her suffering.
Gracia remains in no doubt however, that poor food hygiene practices at Yel Holiday Resort Gracia were responsible for her illness ordeal.
The food was of a poor standard, she states, elaborating that both undercooked and lukewarm foods were common at the resort. Gracia further labels the hotel restaurant dirty, claiming that insects and flies would swarm over the reheated and repetitive dishes.
Alarmingly, Gracia states that she was not alone in her suffering as several of her fellow holidaymakers also reported experiencing similar illness symptoms.
£1,600 compensation victory
