Food poisoning brings misery to VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort
British holidaymakers have reached out to industry leaders Your Holiday Claims for help making a claim for holiday illness in the Dominican Republic after their stays at VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort were ruined by sickness.

Review site TripAdvisor is rife with reports of poor food hygiene. One guest who travelled to the hotel from Manchester, commented on the standards of the food stating, âThe food was shocking! It was either overcooked or rare! The staff were fantastic but the food was so bad that feral cats wouldnt eat it! It was really horrible, the staff even said they wouldnt eat the food!â
Another holidaymaker has reported suffering from gastroenteritis whilst staying at the resort saying, âThe food was awful, especially the buffet. Bland, tasteless and questionable ingredients.
âFour of our group were violently sick with gastroenteritis, which ruined our tripâ.
There have also been various complaints regarding issues with flies and insects at the resort often contaminating the food. A woman from Cardiff commented, The restaurant had a fly infestation on the food being served, it was like being in a third world country that had received a food delivery.
âI served my country in the desert and have not experienced this! The pool was disgusting, with dead flies and litter floating aboutâ.
Your Holiday Claims has previously successfully settled compensation cases for holidaymakers struck by illness in the Dominican Republic. In one of our more recent cases, Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law at Your Holiday Claims, helped a Darlington couple successfully receive £3,270 in damages after their anniversary getaway at ClubHotel RIU Bachata in the Dominican Republic was ruined by gastric illness.
Commenting on the cases at VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort, Anne said: âWe have currently received one enquiry from a holidaymaker who has suffered from a confirmed case of campylobacter whilst staying at the VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort, with another enquiry coming from a person who has also fallen ill during their stay.
âCampylobacter is one of the most common causes of food poisoning and is often in poultry but can also be present in red meat and untreated water. This means that undercooked food and poor hygiene standards will place guests in a hotel at a greater risk of falling ill.
âI strongly urge anyone who has fallen ill at the VH Gran Ventana Beach Resort in the Dominican Republic within the last three years to contact either myself or the dedicated team at Your Holiday Claims for expert legal advice. We can advise you on the merits of your case and answer questions you may have regarding making a no win no fee claim.â
