British couple seriously ill with Campylobacter after stay in Turkish hotel

A couple have contacted us today who became seriously ill with symptoms of campylobacter at Suntopia Tropical HotelÂ in Sarigerme, Turkey.

The lady who contacted us and her partner said that other people had also become ill at the hotel with similar symptoms of sickness, diarrhoea and severe stomach cramps.

Campylobacter is a common form of food poisoning and we have successfully helped holidaymakers claim compensation after they have contracted an illness whilst on holiday abroad.

If you’ve been affected by campylobacter and would like to find out how you can make a claim, take a look at our campylobacter on holiday claims page.

One holidaymaker who became ill at the Suntopia Tropical Hotel in August, 2013 said on TripAdvisor: â3 of our party were unwell. I was ill for most of the holiday with diarrhoea and my husband had it for the second week. Our daughter felt sick all the timeÂ and all 3 of us required medication. Many people were suffering with bad stomachs. The Thomson reps simply made excuses to try to explain the illness but in my view the poor food quality and hygiene were the cause.â

Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law at YourHolidayClaims, a division of Farnworth Rose solicitors, said: âCampylobacter can cause severe illness and the symptoms can completely ruin a holiday. Anyone who has been ill at this hotel should contact me as soon as possible to discuss a compensation claim.

âAnyone who becomes ill in a hotel which is booked as part of a package, has every right to claim compensation from the tour operator when they return to the UK, and we can help them obtain the compensation they deserve with a minimum of fuss.â
