Guests at the Island Blue warn â âbeautiful property but spoilt by sickness and diarrhoea.â

We have recently been reading of a âsickness bugâ at the Island Blue, Pefkos, Rhodes.

The Island Blue is a 4 star Thomson Platinum hotel. The hotel is close by to the beach and centre and features two swimming pools a restaurant and two pool bars.

Holidaymakers have complained of a âsickness bugâ at the Island Blue. Comments have been made such as ânot worth the extra moneyâ and âbeware of illness.â

Visitors to the hotel have said that they have suffered symptoms including âsickness and diarrhoea.â

One holidaymaker has said that âthere was also no prevention of this bug nor were there any signs up alerting other guests.â

Another family commented on their time at the Island Blue stating â3 of our party of 4 went down with sickness 4 days into a week long holiday and we are still suffering a bit now.â

A wedding party of 16 also visited the hotel and nine of them fell ill with the âbugâ. Some of the children attending the wedding also became ill and needed to visit the onsite doctor.Â One child needed âhydration treatment at the hospital.â

Other guests have said that the hotels manager was aware of the outbreak and âblamed it on an airborne virus.â

They stated âthis unfortunate episode did spoil the holiday so have been put off returning as on the last occasion we also suffered sickness.â

Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law at Your Holiday Claims, comments: âIt is important for hoteliers to recognise and act upon any illness outbreaks.â

âIllness abroad can be caused by poor food and/or hygiene standards and they must meet international standards.â

âI would urge anyone who has fallen ill at the Island Blue to contact Your Holiday Claims for advice on how to make a claim for compensation.â
