Whole family sick!
Beautiful Grounds, But Our Holiday Was Ruined by Serious illness - food/water contamination at hotel
We stayed at this hotel in early August as a family of four — two adults and two teenagers. I am writing this review because I feel a duty to warn other families considering this hotel.
Within two days of arriving, I became violently ill and was admitted to A&E in Turkey, where I was put on two IV drips, had blood tests taken, and was prescribed antibiotics used to treat parasitic infections. Over the following days, my partner also became ill, then my son, and finally the fourth member of our party fell ill on our travel day home. Upon returning to Ireland, I had to attend A&E a second time, where I was formally diagnosed with a parasitic infection, most likely contracted through contaminated food or water. I subsequently had to take a full week off work on return, resulting in more financial loss & stress.
This was not a minor stomach upset. This was a serious medical situation that affected every single member of our party and effectively destroyed what was supposed to be a family holiday we had paid a significant amount of money for.
The grounds of the hotel are genuinely beautiful, and the guest relations manager was responsive when approached however, the response felt surface-level and nothing substantive was done. The food and general service throughout were poor, and our experience with a member of management on our very first night set an uncomfortable tone from the outset.
I am currently pursuing a formal complaint regarding this matter. I would urge any family, particularly those travelling with children, to carefully consider this before booking. The impact of this has gone way beyond financial too as a single mother, my ability to go on a further holiday is greatly affected. Devastating
